This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern based on an extant dress from about 1840.

The dress is based on an extant day dress from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and dated from 1837 to 1840, made of a floral printed challis.
The dress features some typical details of the time period, like a wide and rounded neckline, contrasting piped seams and the wide sleeves pleated to fit round of the top of the arm and held in place by two piped bands of fabric, cut on the bias. At the wrist, the excess width of the over-length sleeve is gathered to fit a narrow cuff.
The fashion fabric of the bodice is mounted on a tight fitting lining bodice from a polished cotton fabric. The front panel from the fashion fabric is divided at the center front and stitched together again with a piped seam. The neckline is decorated with a ruffle, cut on the bias and the loose edge neatened with the same silk ribbon as used for the piping. The bodice closes at the center back with hooks and eyes.
The skirt is made from several widths of fabric. At the front and side portion of the bodice, the skirt is laid into regular knife pleats, the remaining width of the skirt is gathered to fit the smaller back portion of the bodice. If wanted, the gathering can be replaced by small, rolled pleats or cartridge pleating.

This dress should be worn with a matching corset and petticoat.

Comfortable but NOT SEAMLESS.
Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack), Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack)
They are soft and well-made, but they are definitely NOT SEAMLESS, which was my whole point in buying them. There are two cross-seams, as well as a fairly thick hem seam on the legs. If you have a problem with inner thigh or genital chafing, you may want to look at a different brand. Otherwise, these are comfortable and well made. FYI, the ones I received had a matching inner liner, not a white one as some reviewers have noted.

Buying another package
Size: Large, Color: Multicoloured D (5-pack)
Oh my gosh, I love these!!! They are very comfortable and not overly tight. The material is so thin and breathable, very comfortable. Love the colors. Am buying another package! I'm in perimenopause and these definitely keep me cooler than my tradition cotton underwear.

Comfortable but Runs Small
I got the wirarpa Men’s Cotton T-Shirt 2-pack in XX-Large (Black/Gray) and while the shirts are really soft and breathable, they do run small. The XX-Large feels a bit tighter than expected, especially after washing. The cotton material is great and comfortable, but I would recommend sizing up if you’re looking for a more relaxed fit. The classic crew neck design is versatile, and the shirts are well-made. They hold up well in the wash and maintain their softness. Even though the sizing is a bit off, the quality and price are still excellent for the value. If you’re okay with a slightly snug fit or decide to size up, this is still a great purchase!
