Titanic Era Afternoon Tea Dress Pattern
Inspired by the Edwardian tea gowns of 1912-1913, this is a versatile ensemble of layered components like those you've seen in the movie Titanic. The Dress features an optional drape that is arranged at center front and held in place with the shirred Belt. The Bow can be attached at the front or back of the Belt. The Sweetheart Tunic wraps in front and is held in place with Belt or Bow; the ruffled-sleeve Pullover Tunic can be worn front or back, belted or hanging straight. Suggested fabrics: For the Dress, Drape, Belt, Bow, choose silk or polyester satin, brocade, jacquard; lightweight silk or rayon velvet. For the Tunics, choose lightweight and/or sheer cotton, silk, rayon, polyester; lace; novelty velvet.
