Buy the 265 Afternoon Tea Dress sewing pattern from Folkwear. The gracious life of the proper Edwardian lady demanded different fashions for different times of the day. Tea gowns were worn in the later afternoon, marking the time between daywear and eveningwear. They were immensely popular because women could put their tight corsets aside for several hours and enjoy the comfort of these loose-fitting, casual styles of soft layered fabrics, yet still be tastefully presentable for visitors.

Folkwear's Afternoon Tea Dress, inspired by 1912-1913 Edwardian tea gowns, is adaptable to any occasion or time of day. Whether made as a sumptuous wedding gown, feminine maternity fashion, slinky nightclub number, or a top for everyday, this pattern features many versatile elements.

The dress has an optional drape that is artfully arranged at the centre front and held in place with a gathered belt. An easy-sew bow can be attached to the front or back of the belt for further ornamentation. The sweetheart tunic wraps in front and can be held in place with the belt. The ruffled-sleeve pullover tunic can be worn belted or hanging straight. The tops are also wonderful on their own.

Your lil' ones are gonna' LOVE these high quality MON2SUN Chicken Wrapped Rawhides!!
Size: 1.15 Pound (Pack of 1), Size: 1.15 Pound (Pack of 1)
Our,..."Spanky",...(4 y.o. Cavachon/TeddyBear) absolutely LOVES the MON2SUN Dog Rawhide Twist 4-4.5 Inch Chicken Wrapped Rawhide Sticks! He has his morning routine; first bathroom trip of the morning, and then; come to my wife for Round 1 of treats/snacks, and then; me,...for Round 2! These chews are PERFECT for pups his size. They're obviously...high quality ingredients and very desirable chews/rawhide. Put it this way; whenever I give Spanky one of these,...they DO NOT,..."sit". Meaning,...as soon as I give it to him, he immediately...."digs in". Always fresh & they keep well in the provided bag which they come in. My only..."knock" against these, is the price! And don't get me wrong; that's NOT to say that they're unreasonably priced (note: you get what you pay for). It's just that; because they're more on the "pricey side" of dog treats, the Average Joe might [understandably] have to...."ration"....giving their lil' friends these AWESOME treats,....more often than not. That's the ONLY reason I give 4 Stars as opposed to 5 (price).

Tiny treats
Size: 1.15 Pound (Pack of 1)
These treats are very small. My dogs liked them, no problem there, but the price is pretty high compared to Good N Fun, which are much larger.
