Turn-of-the-century women lingered over breakfast in this soft, pleated, closely fitted house dress or “wrapper” before struggling into their corsets. This pattern recreates this Day Dress look.  The buttoned front lining and the princess line in the back pull in the dress creating a fitted bodice, while pleats at center front and back are held in place with waist ties and simple square collar. Rounded yokes, finished with ruffles over the shoulder complete the traditional dress and may be omitted for a simple version. Full sleeves are gathered at the top and finished with simple buttoned cuffs.  The skirt, fitted over the hips, falls to a wide flounce at the ankle. 

The pattern may be cut street length (contemporary) or as a blouse. For day or evening wear, the dress is perfect in challis and crisp silk as well as traditional cotton calico.

Note: This pattern is from Folkwear's former 208 Calico Day Dress.  We have increased the size range, improved the instructions, and re-released the pattern as 246 Calico Day Dress (#208 was taken by 208 Child's Kinsale Cloak over the years). 

Era: late Victorian to early Edwardian

Suggested fabrics: Lightweight cotton and blends, silk, lightweight wools, rayon. Originals were made in cotton calico, percale, cashmere, sateen, challis.

Durable, Fun, Useful!
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
This treat dispenser is so great! For one thing, it's sturdy and will last forever. It will get lost before it wears out. This is my second order because I can't find the first one . . . so I bought this pack of two. In one, I put peanut butter. In the second one, I put toothpaste, just a squirt for each opening. My dog LOVES to chew on this even after she has consumed 98% of whatever I put in there. In short, it occupies her attention, which is a blessing! It's both a treat and a toy. It also bounces well and can be thrown as a ball. It will LAST far longer than any ofher other balls, too. My dog has a tiny mouth and larger balls are too big or too hard for her. If I could give it more stars, I would!

DURABLE
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
My dog loves these balls almost as much as she loves tennis balls, which she tears up within a day. These two balls have lasted over a week with no signs of wear. I was unsure when I ordered them but they do bounce, not quite like a tennis ball but enough to keep my dog's attention. When using toothpaste in these balls I had to put it deep into the openings or she just licks it off of the surface and when its that deep, it doesn't squeeze out like I think it should. It just stays in the crevasses and gets old and hard. As a ball it's great, as a toothpaste delivery system it's not so great.

Perfect For Sophia!
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs, Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
These little balls are the perfect size for Sophia who is a 7 lb Yorkie with a teeny tiny mouth. The slots in the balls make them very easy for her little teeth to grab hold of and carry. The quality of the rubber is excellent, strong and durable. They're holding up great so far! She loves them and so does her Mama! 5 stars!

Horrible, don't buy
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
I wanted to love these. They had so much potential. It's a good size. It seems like a good shape. But ... 1) first red flag should have been the packaging. It looked like it was a dollar store item that had beenblost on the shelves for years. 2) the rubber is super flexible. I was expecting it to be sturdier. I can flatten the ball without lich force. Maybe that doesn't matter. Naybe flexible is good. But I never got a chance to test out it's durability against a pup because... 3) it smelled. I expected it to smell like rubber, like most rubber toys. Rubber smell is okay. Usually rubber smell goes away. But, this was NOT a rubber smell. It smells like peppermint or something similar. It's like someone sprayed essential oils when mixing the rubber and now the smell will not leave. I soaked it in dawn soap half the day and overnight. I rubbed. I scrubbed. The smell actually gets worst the more you scrub it!!! It's like a scented marker or scented eraser, but you do NOT want the scent in a dog toy! My dog cannot smell the food in it because the smell of the weird mint-like scent is so overpowering. He saw it had food, and wanted it, but every time he started sniffing wildly, he would recoil. Whoever thought it was a good idea to scent this was WRONG. Mint in the form of an essential oil is extremely poisonous to dogs!! So, why they would put a mint-loke scent ijto the dog's rubber treat toy is beyond me. I would return this if I hadn't throw out the package immediately. I considered pulling the package out of the trash once i realized the scent issue but other trash had already been dumped into the trash can over it and i didn't want to dig through trash. The ball is still soaking in soap. I scrubbed again this morning. I let obe dry out. No luck. It actually seems to get worst the more you scrub, like it really is embedded in the rubber itself. Yuck!!!
