Century Patterns’ CP9002 Edwardian Camisole with Straps circa 1904-1908, available for purchase from Pink Domino on Etsy and Ebay
Century Patterns specialises in fashions of the Belle Epoque and underwear from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Our patterns are based on original research and antique dressmaking patterns, adapted to modern figures. Each pattern is accompanied by a booklet of well-researched historical notes setting the garments in historical context, with step-by-step instructions, period sewing methods and specialist heirloom and decorative techniques as well as modern alternatives.
Century Patterns’ range in print currently includes several complementary patterns perfect for an Edwardian lady of the mid-1900s: an alluring, flared mermaid or trumpet skirt of 1900 to 1905; a dramatic, sweeping circular skirt of 1905 to 1908; a classic and versatile puffed-sleeved Edwardian blouse of 1905 to 1908 to make as simple or fancy as you please; a practical front-closing shirt or shirtwaist of 1905 to 1908 with long, moderately puffed bishop sleeves; a pretty scalloped over-blouse or pinafore blouse of 1906 to 1908 to ring the changes in your Edwardian trousseau; a trio of Edwardian ladies’ underwear patterns (a petticoat with circular flounce, a dainty camisole with straps and wide French drawers) from 1904 to 1908, as well as an iconic petticoat of 1905 to 1909 with gathered, ruffled flounce, the epitome of romantic and luxurious Edwardian lingerie. These patterns also work beautifully as a touch of vintage elegance in a stylish modern wardrobe. Some of your old favourites are currently under revision and will be back in production soon, while further patterns are nearing completion and many more patterns are planned.
