Not very suitable. The issue is not the size, it's the garment shapes.
The petticoat is for early 20th-century skirts, which were fuller than
in the 1910s. The camisole is for the pouched bosom look of the early
20th century, which was gone by the 1910s. The 1910s drawers were also
less full. See http://www.pastpatterns.com/1900.html for some pattern
shapes with dates.

I have two questions about the Folkwear "Edwardian Underthings" pattern for
anyone who's used it: 1) How accurate would it be for the World War I era? 2) I know they
say it goes to 3XL, but given Folkwear's habit of sizing things small I'm not counting on
the pattern being usable straight out of the package -- how easy to resize is it? Thanks.
