New pattern now in testing phase! If all goes well, this'll be up on Etsy in a couple of weeks.
The original garment is a c. 1905 wool, velvet, and chenille-embroidered jacket (suitable for a walking ensemble or dinner dress alike - it probably would have gone over a pretty shirtwaist & had a matching skirt) with a 40” (101cm) bust & max waist of 36" (91cm).
I tried on a mockup and the back fits very well, so I’m calling this an L/XL size and have included a bust extension to 43”, though this can also be worn open for larger busts.
Edit: Available on Etsy here! <3
