Victorian Blouse Bodice with 4 Bodice & 5 Sleeve Options | Sizes 4–36

Create elegant late Victorian blouses with the Laughing Moon LM103 1890s Waist Pattern – a highly versatile design offering multiple bodice and sleeve combinations for both day and evening wear.

RARE ARCHIVE PAPER PATTERN
This is an original printed paper pattern (not a download) from our archive stock, stored for around 20 years.
Laughing Moon discontinued printed patterns in 2021, making these increasingly rare and collectible.
Includes the original sew-on gold “moon face” charm – now very hard to find and highly sought after.
