From Truly Victorian:
This mantle is taken from the 1871 Butterick Pattern Catalog. It has a semi fitted back, held in place by a belt around the waist, with pleats and slits to fit over a bustle. The front is also belted and has two points. The mantle sides fall gracefully over the arm to give a “flowing sleeve” effect. A pointed collar add detail to the neckline. The center front is closed with buttons.
This pattern provides for a fully lined garment, and can be interlined with flannel for warmth. Frog closures can be substituted in place of buttons.
Bust 30″-56″
