{"product_id":"215-empire-dress-sewing-pattern","title":"215 Empire Dress - Sewing Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis high-waisted dress known today as \"empire\" was worn in the period following the French Revolution in the late 1700s. Often called a \"chemise gown\" to satirize its scandalous brevity and lack of undergarments, it reflected a desire to return to simpler, classical Grecian dress after the excesses of the European nobility and patriot alike. It's peak of popularity was during the \"First Empire\" period (1799-1815); hence its name. It was worn floor length or as high as knee length in front; trains were also worn for day or evening until 1806. The Empire Dress has remained a favorite fashion silhouette until today. Folkwear presents a sewing pattern for this classic in three lengths, with two sleeve options.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMisses sizes SM-3XL.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkwear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54643583975697,"sku":"215","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/1422\/1073\/files\/5850249fa44142f54c7d934d6cacb3d2c680c145b486b44dc1cf4cf6d79e8534.jpg?v=1789176597","url":"https:\/\/thescrappybear.com\/products\/215-empire-dress-sewing-pattern","provider":"The Scrappy Bear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
