dress patterns empire waist 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."

Love these syrups. Can use them for coffee. Hot chocolate and other stuff. Medium bottle size so the shelf life doesn’t end to fast as with a big bottle. They smell like the flavor. Overall I think they are a high quality and a great value for the money. So versatile

So good!
Flavor Name: Variety Pack 2, Size: 16.5 fl oz (Pack of 4)
am seriously impressed with the Torani Puremade Dessert & Drink Sauce Variety Pack—this is a total game changer for at-home coffee and desserts. The flavors are rich, smooth, and taste like something you’d get from a high-end coffee shop. The chocolate and caramel options are especially standout—perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and they actually taste real, not artificial. You can tell these are made with better-quality ingredients compared to typical syrups. What I love most is how versatile they are. I’ve used them in: • Coffee (hot and iced) • Lattes and cold brew • Drizzling over ice cream and desserts • Even mixing into protein shakes for a treat The consistency is perfect—thick enough to drizzle beautifully but still easy to blend into drinks. And a little goes a long way, so the bottles last longer than expected. If you’re trying to recreate that coffeehouse experience at home, this variety pack is absolutely worth it. It adds that extra touch that makes your drinks feel indulgent without needing to leave the house. Highly recommend—will definitely be buying again!

I was really happy with the value of money I pay for this set because I’m able to make the perfect cup of coffee at home and save on going to Starbucks or Dutch Bros. They taste so yummy. It’s easy to use.
