Why Choose This Pattern?

This Edwardian Ladies Plain Shirt Waist Sewing Pattern was originally published by The Martha Dean Little Folks Pattern Company
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
In 1905, a ladies' plain shirtwaist was a popular piece of clothing for women. The shirtwaist, which is essentially a blouse, was typically made of cotton, linen, or silk and was designed to be both practical and stylish. This garment was versatile and could be worn for both casual and more formal occasions, depending on the fabric and detailing used. It was usually paired with a long, floor-length skirt.

Pattern 6277B was advertised in the Argus-Leader, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, June 4, 1905,

“Inasmuch as the laundress charges an extra 5 cents for every tuck or frill in one’s waists, it behooves the economical girl to see to it that her everyday shirt waists are minus these “extra fixin’s.” It is not essential to the style and cut of waist to have a lot of tucks or fancy yokes in its makeup. In fact, for a tailored suit the plain waist, with a box plait down the front and a little fullness at the neck give a good fit over the bust under a jacket opening, is to be very much preferred. In the illustration for this listing, the model has the latest shirt waist sleeve, attached to a mannish cuff and finished with an overlap. The plain French back is ornamented by a rather deep pointed yoke, which may or may not be used."

This pattern set was designed to fit the size and shape of an Edwardian girl with 36” bust. This is the only size we offer for this package.

Materials Required
2 7/8 Yds of 36” wide fabric

The Argus-Leader article recommended, "For a tub waist any of the cottons or linens may be used, but for a nice tailor suit there is nothing so serviceable or so effective as rajah or Burlingham silk.”

This Edwardian shirt waist pattern package includes the original artwork on the front cover. It has a material requirements chart and general construction notes on the back cover. Inside the booklet are Cutting and Making instructions on one page and references from the same era to a Butterick shirt waist similar to what can be created from this package. We include our Past Patterns Guide to Editing and Modifying Patterns Due to Bust Size. The patterns are hand-drawn, emulating the originals, and arrive on a 36" wide sheet.

FAQ's

(Frequently asked questions)

Why are both Trowsers and Trousers listed on site?

Over the last 200 years, much like the human body, our style of language has changed.  For vintage patterns, we attempt to use the language of the day where possible.

Can you grade (edit) a Vintage Revival pattern for my size?

please contact us with the specific pattern number and the specifications you require.  We have staff available for this for an additional fee.

What sizes do Past Patterns patterns come in?

Our patterns, with some exceptions, are manufactured in sizes 8 through 26 for women and sizes 34 through 54 for men. Most patterns are multi-sized. For a complete listing of measurements in inches see the size chart.

Do you have vintage patterns (manufactured prior to 1950) that you want to sell?

we are always on the lookout for original, American designed, vintage patterns especially for categories outside of current items.  We are interested if you have 1 pattern or 1000 patterns.  Give us a call to discuss.

Why is my pattern size different from my off the rack dress size?

We use the U. S. Board of Standard Measurements to size our patterns. The ready made clothing manufacturers have their own set of sizes developed from their own statistics. For a complete listing of measurements in inches see the size chart.

How are the patterns packaged?

We package our patterns in two forms: Bond Paper and Tissue. Except for the Tissue patterns, each is slipped into a reusable plastic sleeve. Many contain documentation in the form of Historical Notes or the printer ie., Butterick. Because the patterns are printed in house to order, they can take from three to seven days. Tissue patterns, which are printed out of house, are available to ship immediately.

What does a Corset Kit contain in addition to the Corset pattern?

In addition to the pattern, the kits contain everything you need to make the corset except the thread. The kits contain, according to their type, fabric and lining, stays, clasp or busk board, back lacing, tape for finishing the edges, trim lace, ribbon, leather, tin stock, waist tape, punch and setter, eyelets, marking pencils, cording, reed and a loop turner.

Need a pattern in your language?

we can translate our instructions into just about any language

Have an old and incomplete Past Patterns item. What can I do?

The answer depends on if the pattern is still in production or not.  If it is, please mail us the old pattern and we will ship you a copy of the latest pattern for a minimal fee along with normal shipping charges.  If the item is no longer in production, we would need to know exactly what you have to determine the best course of action to help you.

What is the difference between a Past Patterns original pattern and a Vintage Revival pattern?

The Past Patterns originals were designed in house and based upon the research, disassembly and time of Saundra Ros Altman.  These designs come from finds all over the United States reaching from San Diego, California to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC.  She created the initial patterns, the sizing charts and the instruction content.  Many of the these patterns are multi-sized or are available in various sizes.  For the most part, these designs are done taking into account the modern human body's shape, height and weight. The Vintage Revival patterns are traces or copies of an old, mass produced pattern; the first mass produced patterns came out in the 1850s.  For the most part, you get exactly what came in the original package; in some cases, Saundra has appended historical notes to the instructions.  The Vintage Revivals patterns, being copies of the originals, generally only come in one size and are based upon the size and shape of the human body from the era the pattern came from.

What software do you use to create patterns?

We utilize PW Studio for our designs.  Isabelle Lott, a contributor over the years to Past Patterns, is the owner of the company and will be happy to answer an software related questions you have.  Her software is available for licensing.

What measurements do I need to know to order a Corset Kit?

The bust and back length. The back length is measured from the prominent bone at the base of the neck to the natural waistline.

Where can I see the appropriate clothing fabrics for the 18th and 19th centuries?

You can see 1740 through 1940 fabrics in a book titled "Textile Designs" by Susan Meller and Joost Elffers. The subtitle states, "Two Hundred Years of European and American Patterns for Printed Fabric by Motif, Style, Color, Layout and Period and 1,823 Illustration in Color." What they don't say is that 90% of the swatches pictured are life size. The ISBN is 0-8109-3853-7. A second book is Wearable Prints, 1740-1860, History, Materials, and Mechanics by Susan W. Greene. The ISBN is 978-1-60635-124-6. Great books! Order it from your local library that has interlibrary loan capability if you cannot afford the price. There are now many sources for appropriate fabric through the Internet.

Where can I find antique patterns to purchase?

On the Internet try: "Patterns from the Past."

Becoming a Wholesalers of our patterns

We offer Wholesalers significant discounts that will allow both your and our businesses to flourish.

Why don't we sell PDFs of our patterns - First due to piracy.  We have spent over 40 years creating and tracing these patterns along with researching them.  We print and ship all of our patterns ourselves.  If we started sending out PDFs, in no time, copies of our Intellectual Property would be all over the internet and we would be out of business.  Second, some of our patterns are constantly being updated.  We want our clients to get the BEST POSSIBLE version of our products.
