Exclusively from The Fashion Archaeologist ~ 'History House' Pattern #1904-A-002 for that Edwardian essential, a frilly pair of ladies' "open" drawers or pantaloons, from an authentic 1904 French design. Sewing Skill Level: (2.5/5) Solid Beginner to Intermediate. This style of drawers is a necessary undergarment if you're wearing any antique fashion from about 1899 through 1910, and was indispensable in an Edwardian lady's wardrobe. Most women had several, some had dozens, and there were endless variations on the embellishment. Almost all were made of fine batiste (as in the sample photos), but occasionally they were made of sheer linen or silk. This pattern is developed directly from the 1904 French original, but drafted in a dual-size format (see pattern envelope above for details). The fit is very flexible, and can be made for any size within the measurement range shown. ***Please note that this listing is for the digital (PDF) pattern, not for the finished garment itself.*** How does Etsy's instant digital download work?

These drawers were the usual Edwardian "open" bloomers, i.e. the two leg sections are only joined together at centre front near the top and the garment closes at the top back with a ribbon or twill tape tie and three small buttons.
