SIZE

This pattern is available in one size only.  Bust 36", waist 30", hip 39"

 

- Difficulty -

Intermediate difficulty.  Instructions are original to the time period and are somewhat minimal

 

-Size Information and Yardage Requirements-

 

For fabrics, we suggest a nice, crisp mid-weight cotton (such as quilting lengths). This also would be lovely in a linen, or even a velveteen for more formal occasions. It can also be made in a rayon challis for a cool summer dress. Don’t forget your interfacing and four buttons for the bolero! For the dress you will need one 9” zipper.

 

 

 

-Additional Notes-

Because this was based on a period original, a mock up is HIGHLY SUGGESTED.  Test construction and fit on your unique figure before cutting into your fashion fabric.

 

About Wearing History Resto-Vival™ Patterns

 

Resto-Vival™ Patterns are original historic patterns that have been restored and revived.  Original patterns are usually available only in single sizes, precut from tissue paper and totally unprinted, with details like grainlines and darts indicated only by small perforations.  Resto-Vival™ patterns are printed on sturdy bond paper instead of tissue and clearly marked with drawn and labeled markings.  These markings aid the modern sewer in understanding the markings of the original pattern and the construction of the garment.  Resto-Vival™ patterns follow the period shapes of the original patterns, maintaining the historical accuracy of the completed garment.  Original period instructions are included. These instructions are text only (unless otherwise noted) and fairly minimal, especially compared to instructions for modern patterns.  At least an intermediate knowledge of dressmaking and a good familiarity with pattern construction is suggested.  You may choose to have a modern or period sewing book handy to help with basic construction methods that the pattern instructions do not cover in detail.  Also, fitting a muslin mockup is strongly recommended, as all garments were meant to be worn over period foundation garments or corsetry.

Removes makeup quickly and conveniently without having to wash your face.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 25)
First a little about me ... I am a 72 year old woman and I don't wear a lot of makeup. I did back in the 60's and 70's when Twiggy was a fashion icon, hot pants, white boots and London makeup was all the rage. Black and white cat eye eyeliner, long thick lashes and pale lip colors! I only wear makeup now when going out ... none at home. Covid also put a stop to daily makeup ... why wear makeup it you can't see your face!lol I like a natural look for my age. I wear a light dusting of Laura Geller's baked powder foundation or her liquid foundation. Starting with a primer, then foundation, some blush, and a natural colored lip gloss ... but no eye makeup. I am so envious 💚 of those who can wear the beautiful colored eye shadows, liners and long thick lashes!!! I unfortunately have had fibromyalgia for many years and it causes extreme dry eyes along with the medication I take for it. Any eye makeup is a waste of time for me as I will look like a raccoon 🦝 by the end of the day from rubbing my dry eyes!lol I was looking for a quick way to remove my makeup without soap and water. I live in Colorado and my skin is dry. Washing my face more than twice a day with soap & water drys my skin out. So I saw this and decided to give it a try. At first I wasn't sure if there was anything on the cloth when I pulled it from it's holder, but evidently there was because it removed all my makeup very easily with just one cloth. I did not have to apply a lot of pressure, just wiped my face softy all over. It didn't seem to dry out my skin on my face or leave a greasy feel behind either. My face even felt less dry when I woke up in the morning. I would imagine depending on how much makeup you wear or what kind, may affect how many wipes you would need. I can see it being very useful for getting rid of eye makeup, but it does say if you get it in your eyes to rinse your eyes thoroughly with water. For me it is a good buy so far. I will update as I continue using it and how my skin feels. 5 out of 5 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 UPDATE: I used this to remove my oil based face paint that I used for my halloween makeup this year (I was a scarecrow) and it came off very nicely. I did use 2 cloths though just to make sure I left no paint residue behind.

Great for Recovery Nights, Unscented and Budget Friendly
At 52 with combination skin, this cream is exactly what I need for deeper hydration, but not every day. It is rich and nourishing, so I use it strategically, mainly on recovery nights or when my skin needs extra support. It works especially well after retinol or exfoliation nights, helping to restore moisture and support the skin barrier. By morning, my skin feels soft, smooth, and well hydrated without irritation. Because it is a thicker cream, I prefer to use it once or a few times a week rather than daily so it does not feel too heavy on combination skin. Used this way, it performs very well. I also appreciate that Good Molecules products are unscented and very affordable, which makes it easy to build a routine that actually works without overspending. Great option if you want a richer moisturizer for targeted hydration and barrier repair.

Great value moisturizer for sensitive skin
As someone with rosacea and easily irritated, sensitive skin, I’m always nervous trying new skincare. If you’re in the same boat, this is absolutely the moisturizer to look into. This formula is incredibly light but still genuinely hydrating. It doesn’t feel heavy, greasy, or suffocating. It absorbs beautifully and leaves my skin calm and comfortable instead of red or burning. It gives the prettiest soft, dewy glow without looking shiny. One of my favorite things? It layers perfectly under makeup. My foundation doesn’t slide around or separate - it stays put while still looking fresh and radiant. It’s that ideal balance of hydrated but not slick. I also love that it comes in a tube instead of a jar. No dipping fingers into a tub (huge plus for sensitive, reactive skin). And you truly only need a small amount - a little goes a long way

Good daily moisturizer
This is the second time I’m purchasing this moisturizer and I’m still very impressed. It’s a bit thick when first applying but soaks in quickly and has helped with my skin feeling tight or itchy. I use it as a daily product after washing my face and find it holds up throughout the day. The tube is smaller but for the price, this isn’t too big of an issue for me, especially compared to other products I’ve used in the past.

It really hydrates
I havent used it long enough but so far so good. I haven't had any reactions to it. It is really oily so I personally do not use it during the day becaus ei dont like looking extra oily. But at night is really good.
