Historical Significance of the Late 1920s Pajama Ensemble Downloads
The Late 1920s Pajama Ensemble Downloads represent a pivotal moment in women's fashion evolution. Originally released by The Ladies' Home Journal, this digital recreation preserves a time when women's clothing was becoming more practical and comfortable while maintaining stylish appeal. Fashion historians at Cornell University's Costume Collection note that pajama ensembles became fashionable for both at-home entertaining and casual resort wear during this period (https://costume.cornell.edu/collection/1920s-loungewear).
The original pattern described this versatile garment as a "Ladies' and Misses' pajama ensemble, consisting of a sleeveless, tuck-in blouse. Four-piece wide trousers with legbands, plaited at each upper side and joined to three-piece yoke that closes at back. Separate coat with shoulder edges extending high up on the neck, giving effect of collar. Patch pockets with bands at top. With or without long loose sleeves with sleevebands."

Why are both Trowsers and Trousers listed on site?

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.

What is the difference between a Past Patterns original pattern and a Vintage Revival pattern?
The Past Patterns originals wereĀ designed in house and based upon the research, disassembly and time of Saundra Ros Altman.Ā These designs come from finds all over the United States reaching from San Diego, California to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC.Ā She created the initial patterns, the sizing charts and the instruction content.Ā Many of the these patterns are multi-sized or are available in various sizes.Ā 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 anĀ old, mass produced pattern; the first mass produced patterns came out in the 1850s.Ā For the most part, you get exactly what came in the original package; in some cases, Saundra has appended historical notes to the instructions.Ā 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 utilizeĀ PW StudioĀ for our designs.Ā 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.Ā 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.
