Description

empire cut dress pattern 215 Empire DressMisses sizes SM 3XL. This high waisted dress known today as "empire" was worn in the period following the French Revolution in the late 1700s. Often called a "chemise gown" to satirize its scandalous brevity and lack of undergarments, it reflected a desire to return to simpler, classical Grecian dress after the excesses of the European nobility and patriot alike. Its peak of popularity was during the "First Empire" period (1799 1815); hence its name.

Misses sizes SM-3XL.

This high-waisted dress known today as "empire" was worn in the period following the French Revolution in the late 1700s. Often called a "chemise gown" to satirize its scandalous brevity and lack of undergarments, it reflected a desire to return to simpler, classical Grecian dress after the excesses of the European nobility and patriot alike.  Its peak of popularity was during the "First Empire" period (1799-1815); hence its name.  It was worn floor length or as high as knee length in front; trains were also worn for day or evening until 1806.  The Empire Dress has remained a favorite fashion silhouette through today.

Folkwear presents a sewing pattern for this classic in three lengths, with two sleeve options.  A narrow bodice is gathered into a slim A-line skirt front and side panels, and full gathered skirt back that falls to just below knee length, full length, or full length with train for weddings or formal wear.

On the traditional version, drawstrings fit the bodice firmly to the bust and tie at center back. For contemporary wear, we suggest a closed back and elastic in place of the drawstrings. Short puffed sleeves may be cut very high or slightly longer - both are authentic. The longer sleeves feature button and cord detailing. 

Suggested fabrics: Soft, lightweight or medium-weight fabrics such as cotton gauze, batiste, dotted Swiss, rayon challis, silk, very lightweight silk velvet with drape.

Sewing Tip

Linda of Pine City, Minnesota, says this dress is popular with the Fur Trade reenactment crowd and she has made it several times. She says, "Some of us have a devil of a time putting together the little pieces that go around the armhole. The pattern markings are critical, and you should use tailor's tacks and position them carefully. I also suggest that you clearly mark the wrong side of each of the little pieces if your fabric's right and wrong sides are similar."

We have a new favorite
It is a soft rubber material with a really loud squeak. Asuka loves to run around the living room squeaking over and over. She loves it so much she hasn’t shared it with the humans yet. She is an aggressive chewer and it is holding up well.

Enthusiastic Chewer Approved
Color: 2PC-Bacon-Green, Color: 2PC-Bacon-Green
You would think that a two pack of chew toys would be a great option for a household with two aggressive chewers but the dogs still fight over the toys. They seem to really love them an are choosing these first among several tough chew toy options. I can't speak to whether there is a bacon flavor but they did seem to have a slightly smoky smell to them when they arrived. The girls have been working hard on them for about a week and while they certainly show teeth marks, they appear to be holding up well. The size is nice for medium to large dogs and the shape lets them hold on to it while getting an angle at the apple knobs on the opposite end. The only downside, if I had to name one, is that they are heavy and if (when) your bestie drops the toy on your bare foot, it smarts.

Tough Toys That Keep My Dogs Busy
Color: 2PC-Bacon-Green
I cannot personally confirm the bacon flavor because I am definitely not going to taste these myself, and I did not notice any bacon smell when I opened the package. That said, my dogs seemed interested in them right away, so whatever scent or flavor they contain appears to be appealing enough for canine approval. What impressed me most was the durability. These toys are much tougher than many chew toys I have purchased in the past and have held up well to regular chewing. My dogs enjoy carrying them around, chewing on them, and staying occupied with them for extended periods. The size works well for medium to large dogs, and the material feels sturdy without being excessively heavy. While no toy is truly indestructible, these seem capable of handling some serious chewing. For the price, getting two durable chew toys is a good value. If you have dogs that enjoy chewing and need something a little tougher than the average toy, these are worth considering.
