Buy the 265 Afternoon Tea Dress sewing pattern from Folkwear. The gracious life of the proper Edwardian lady demanded different fashions for different times of the day. Tea gowns were worn in the later afternoon, marking the time between daywear and eveningwear. They were immensely popular because women could put their tight corsets aside for several hours and enjoy the comfort of these loose-fitting, casual styles of soft layered fabrics, yet still be tastefully presentable for visitors.

Folkwear's Afternoon Tea Dress, inspired by 1912-1913 Edwardian tea gowns, is adaptable to any occasion or time of day. Whether made as a sumptuous wedding gown, feminine maternity fashion, slinky nightclub number, or a top for everyday, this pattern features many versatile elements.

The dress has an optional drape that is artfully arranged at the centre front and held in place with a gathered belt. An easy-sew bow can be attached to the front or back of the belt for further ornamentation. The sweetheart tunic wraps in front and can be held in place with the belt. The ruffled-sleeve pullover tunic can be worn belted or hanging straight. The tops are also wonderful on their own.

100% Puppy-Approved
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Small
My little fur baby absolutely LOVES this!! ❤️ He immediately got the zoomies when I gave it to him. 🤣 It's his new favorite chew toy and keeps him occupied for long spans of time while inside or outside of his crate. Very durable, smells pleasant, and is the perfect size for my small puppy (he is currently 10 lbs and I got him the small one). Previous chew toys that I purchased were too large/heavy for him to pick up, but this one is lightweight and perfect! I highly recommend! 🙌🏾

Not destuctable
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
This is the first toy that none of my dogs have destroyed. It's still going strong and they love carrying it around and gnawing on it every day. The material is durable and the product is the perfect size. I will buy more soon.

Keeps my puppy happy!!
Color: Orange - 3.15Inch
My 8 month old puppy loves this ball!! He is so happy when we charge it up for him!! It's great because it keeps him busy for a few minutes and it tires him out. This is our second one so we always have one ready to go for him.
