From the Folder Back
The elegant lines of the Princess Slip hearken from 1910 when skirts began to narrow considerably from the fussy underpinnings of the pre-1910 era. It can also be worn as an easy summer dress, low-knee length for day, or floor-length for evening. Classic princess seams provide a smooth shape and flattering fit. The neckline is encircled by a row of wide crocheted lace with a narrow ribbon drawstring. Bias binding faces the lace-trimmed armholes. The traditional concealed buttoned placket closes the back, or you may use a zipper. View A is the simple modem version—an easy summer shift or a classic slip for sheer dresses. View B is the traditional floor-length version; a wide bottom ruffle is lightly gathered onto the slip. Ending just above the hem, this ruffle peeks out prettily below the hem of its companion: the Edwardian Bridal Gown (Folkwear pattern #227).
More About the Pattern
Folkwear 226 includes the full-size tissue-paper pattern pieces, and bond-paper instructions for making the Princess Slip. Enlarge the photo for a better look at the details. Let me know if you’d like to see the folder. This is sized for Misses’ 6-16 (30-1/2″ to 38″ bust). The folder measures about 11″ x 8-1/2″ and comes inside a baggy with closing flap. This has 1984 copyright.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day you pay. Unless you request otherwise, I will back this with one piece of box cardboard (to help prevent the Post Office from bending it), wrap it in plastic wrap (to help protect the item from moisture or torn packaging), then send inside a manila envelope when sent via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation. This is the cheapest postage option that includes both item protection and tracking. See the shipping page to give you an estimate on the cost of a First Class 2 package. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
