The pet-en-l'air has a fitted torso without front waist seam, and a pleated sack back that extends from neckline to hem. The fit of the bodice is controlled by the lining. It has an under stomacher that laces closed in the front and ties to adjust the back. Pattern is for pet-en-l'air, three sleeve flounces and stomacher only. Instructions are included for extending the pet-en-l'air into a gown and for constructing a shaped petticoat which will hang evenly over pocket hoops.
This pattern is based on extant examples of sack gowns and pet-en-l'airs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Two sizes per pack (6-8), (10-12), (14-16) od. (18-20).
