Wearing History #R145–  Begonia Mid 1930s Pattern

E-PATTERN!  To print at home on US LETTER or A4 paper.  Also includes Copy Shop A0 files!

This lovely mid 1930s dress features a v-neck cut with a semi-circular attached cape, and an optional cape ruffle and bow, The skirt hits mid-calf, and is slim fitted through the hips and flares below the knees. The dress fastens at the side. The neckline and armholes are finished with self bias facing.

The dress is perfect for day or afternoon wear, and makes up nicely in flowing fabrics.  I suggest cotton lawn, rayon, eyelet, lace, or other flowing, lightweight fabrics.  Note– no slip is included, so if it's sheer you'll want to make or buy a slip!


This pattern is available in two size packs.  See photos for the sizes included!

The misses size pack is from the original period source and is available in bust 30"-42".  The base size was 38" bust.  This has been graded to include the same size range as the pattern was originally available in (only one size per pack in ye olden days!).

The extended size pack was redrafted to a new base size and is available in bust 41"-51". The original vintage pattern didn't grade properly to that size, so the base size was entirely redrafted to fit a body form of 45" bust.  This draft is unique to Wearing History and enables more sizes. Yay!

Between size packs?  Order the extended size pack if you have a larger hip to waist ratio.

 

Difficulty

Adventurous intermediate sewing difficulty recommended.

The pattern instructions are from the period original and can be vague.  Keep a sewing book handy for reference.

This pattern requires bias facing for armholes and neck opening, and an inset front piece on the cape can be a bit tricky.  This pattern has a side opening with snaps. 

I have added a page of illustrated instructions to help you with the construction on the cape piece.  Bias facing tutorials can be found on Wearing History Blog.

3/8" seam allowance is included.  Add more before you cut if you feel more comfortable with wider seam allowances.

 

This is a Wearing History Resto-Vival pattern- a pattern based on remastered original period sources that have been restored and revived.  Want to know more about this range?  Check out my F.A.Q.

Love this style
This is a great playground shoe for my 4th grader. I love the unisex design. These shoes usually last 6 mo - until we need next size- but aren’t in same spotless shape that Keens are for passing down to next sibling. Still, they are far from bad shape after six months of abuse. Way better than UA or Nikes in our experience. I had adult version and had heavy rotation with other shoes, and still lasted 5 years before I gave to my growing son, and he trashed them in 6 mo wearing as lawn mowing shoes. As an adult, I add an arch support or metatarsal support insole. My kid hasn’t indicated it needs one for comfort - but it’s not as cushy at all compared to Saucony running shoes.

Cute and comfortable.
My son loves them. He's only worn them three times so I can't say yet how they hold up. But he's happy. My only wish is that the laces were a little longer so that he could have an easier time tying them. They do also come with an extra pair of turquoise laces.

saucony for life, kidz.
Color: Navy/Silver/Pink, Size: 7 Big Kid, Color: Navy/Silver/Pink, Size: 7 Big Kid
… why I appreciate being an adult female with average-sized feet, Especially considering kids’ shoes are always way cooler! The sizing is a bit wonky, I’m normally a women’s 8, EU 39 which were my last saucony’s , These were exchanged after buying the “big kid 7” (too big), after replacing w the 6.5 (38.5 EU) I still wondered about sizing down more but I think they’re good, they just fit differently than my previous ones… also I replaced the very long blue laces (48”) with shorter white ones (40”), and now I’m keeping and loving the shoes!
