1900 to 1950's Clothing Portfolio from Twin Roses Designs! Costume Design and Construction by Andrea Wakely.



1900 to 1950's Clothing Portfolio This is a sampling of vintage style items we have created in the past, some from the actual historical patterns, and some hand drafted. For custom made clothing similar to that shown here or in a different style please see our custom orders page then contact us for a price estimate.

This historically inspired dress was based on a pattern for a 1918 tea dress by "May Manton's Bazar Glove-Fitting Patterns". The pattern is accurate to the time period, the fabrics we used are not. Our 1918 tea gown is made from a center front pleated panel in white Ming brocade, the body is an optic white shimmering crinkle fabric. There is braid trimming the join between the skirt and the pleated panel, and ruffled organza ribbon and braid decorating the neckline and sleeve ends. The shoulder drape is white crystal organza. The empire waistline is decorated with a silver embroidered and beaded ribbon and two antiqued silver tone metal findings. Side front closure is a series of hidden snaps and hook and eyes. The skirt is lined in matching white satin acetate, the bodice and sleeves are lined with a soft white 100% cotton twill. Available now on our Women's Clothing For Sale Page.
