Folkwear sewing pattern number 220. The pattern is uncut and complete with instructions.

Although the fashions of 1910-12 incorporated a new straight, slim silhouette as a departure from the Edwardian S-curve and full, swishing skirts, there seemed to be a reluctance to abandon the lovely lacy detailing of that earlier period. Harper's Bazaar, in the summer of 1912, referred to an almost exact replica of Folkwear's original as a "Lingerie Dress," so called on account of the sheer, white delicacy of the fabric and trim.

The bodice of the Garden Party Dress reflects the less constricting tailoring of the Edwardian era. Soft gathers below a square yoke and at the waist provide a comfortable fit. Two wide flanges emphasize the princess line. These were typically made of lace or eyelet, as in View B.

View A, our contemporary interpretation, has a self bias-bound jewel neckline, self-fabric flanges, and a gathered, mid-calf length dirndl skirt.

View B, the traditional version, has a lowered square neckline. The ankle-length-length skirt is darted into the waistline for a very flattering, slimming fit; purchased lace or eyelet on the flanges, cuffs, front yoke, and back add elegance and femininity. Both views feature three-quarter length sleeves eased into wide below-the-elbow cuffs and a buttoned center back opening.

The straight cut of the skirt makes this dress a natural for border prints and eyelets.
