Fit to wear to a costume ball, it’s also light and warm and practical, easy to wrap around your arms or shoulders when the evening grows chill. It’s crocheted in short rows with the fleur-de-lis staggered in rows separated by an easy chain mesh and no separate edging except at each end. It works up quickly; special stitches are clearly explained. Skill level: intermediate. Designed by Kristen Stoltzfus of Joys in Stitches just for Sense & Sensibility customers.

Note for European and Australian customers: Some crocheting terms are different from the US. Thanks to customer Antonia L, who shared a great link to translate terms from American to British (also used in AUS): http://crochet.about.com/od/conversioncharts/a/termtranslate.htm

Created from an original 1909 May Manton pattern, this is my nine-gore “Beatrix” Walking Skirt pattern. This pattern can be used with the Edwardian Walking Jacket or with the “Beatrix” Jacket pattern. The skirt has options for straight back and “habit” back, which has a demi-train appropriate for side-saddle riding! Both this skirt and the jacket were inspired by the example of Beatrix Potter, who managed a large farm, took care of animals, sketched, and watercolored — all while wearing sturdy tweed skirts and tailored jackets!

• Sizes 6-26 all included in one envelope!
• Includes options for pleated back or “habit” (straight) back, walking length or train.
• Combine this with the “Beatrix” Jacket to create an authentic Edwardian riding habit! Perfect for side-saddle riders!
• Perfect for a beginner — all straight seams!

This is the winning pattern from the first Young Designers’ Contest! Miss Rachel Franklin took her inspiration from an original ca. 1909 gown, creating a versatile pattern that can be used for a variety of occasions. The dress can be made up in everyday fabrics like linen or cotton, or you might opt for a luscious evening gown of velvet. Finally, you can use a sheer overlay to create an ethereal version fit for tea!

• Sizes 6-18 all included in one envelope.
• Flowing princess lines make for a very forgiving, flattering fit.
• Instructions included for dresses with a sheer overlay (as shown in the last two photos).
• Over size 18? Just see the instructions for resizing patterns!
