Dayton's Skirt Supporting Corset: 1863

Tthis pattern, first published in 1985 was named "1863 Bust Supporting Corset." After researching patent records, the historical notes were corrected and revised. The pattern and pattern sizes were also updated. The corset can be made without the straps to wear under an off the shoulder gown.

This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 26 in a B, C and D cup. Sizes 8 through 12 require 1-5/8 Yds.; sizes 14 through 16 require 1-3/4 Yds. and sizes 18 through 26 require 2 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

The fabric from which the original is made is an undyed light weight cotton drill.
