Folkwear 205 Gibson Girl Blouse

Buy the 205 Gibson Girl Blouse sewing pattern from Folkwear. The Gibson Girl was the ideal of feminine beauty at the turn of the 20th century, and by 1905, the Sears Roebuck catalogue offered 150 versions of this blouse. This high-collar, back-buttoning yoke style is still just as flattering today. Instructions for optional tucks and lace insertion are included.
