[#converted] rather than precise rounding I opted to maintain the + regularity in grading. + +For modern bodies I would adapt them as follows: measure from the top of +the shoulder to where you want your neckline to be, somewhere around the +highbust, and use it to choose your size column for most other +measurements except for the lenght of sleeve-band, to be based on the +circumference of your upper arm plus 1 cm for ease, and the lenght of +plaited sleeve (i.e. the width of the sleeve), which should be about +twice the sleeve band. + +As for the body of the shift, its total width should depend on the width +of the fabric: the book was using the full width of fabric from 68 to 80 +cm wide, on modern fabric the front and back can be cut side to side, as +long as the fabric is at least about 140 cm wide (or more for bigger +sizes). The length should be enough to reach your desired length, +somewhere below the knees, after adding the length of shoulder straps. + +The side gores should be somewhere between 10 and 15 cm wide at the top, +in such a way that the remaining fabric (including the bosom gores) is +enough to go around the bust with 10-20 cm of ease. + +There is a valentina file :download:`shift.val` which does all of these +calculations based on the measurements in the corresponding +:download:`measurements.vit`. Note that all sewing allowances are +included in the pieces (and should be as small as the fabric allows). + +Rather than printing the pattern (and especially the bigger pieces) I'd +reccommend reading the length of relevant segments in the Variable Table +and measuring them directly on the fabric. + +Instructions +------------ + +Cutting +^^^^^^^ + + + +.. figure:: shift_layout.svg + :align: center + +Finishing +^^^^^^^^^ + + +Variants +-------- + + +Gallery +------- + + +See also +-------- + +* https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O354897/chemise/ +* https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O354898/chemise/ +* https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O354899/chemise-unknown/ +* https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O354896/chemise/?carousel-image=2020MR4797 diff --git a/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/measurements.vit b/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/measurements.vit new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4caa03f --- /dev/null +++ b/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/measurements.vit @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ + + + + 0.5.2 + false + + cm + 998 + + + 1800-01-01 + unknown + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/plate_6_fig_6.svg b/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/plate_6_fig_6.svg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c83fe17 --- /dev/null +++ b/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/plate_6_fig_6.svg @@ -0,0 +1,46 @@ + + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/shift.val b/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/shift.val new file mode 100644 index 0000000..109e0f1 --- /dev/null +++ b/source/historical_womenswear/underwear/1838_shift_with_shoulder_straps/shift.val @@ -0,0 +1,195 @@ + + + + 0.9.1 + cm + + + 1838 Shift with Shoulder Strap + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
