A lady friend from Gustavs Skål, sended me a pattern of a polonaise jacket
1785-90. Its supposed to be me who sew it and embroider it for her.
But i have never seen the pattern before. I think its a pattern she made
herself.
In the front it has a compere closing, looking like a stomacher with slanted
lines in A- form of the jacket sides.
What i dont understand about the pattern is, that the jacket dont have any
pleats in the waistline the "skirt" width is achieved by slanting seams, 2
center back pieces, 2 side pieces and 2 front pieces.
Would it not be more appropriate to make the width of the "skirt" bigger and
make more room for pleats in stead of slanting lines?
The shape of the jacket is to be more of a "bustle" pad than a round pad.
