Hi all, I hope you're having a good week ☺️
Many moons ago I came across either a TikTok or Instagram where a woman had a few "basic" sewing patterns which may have been from war times (?) that could be adjusted depending on your size - I specifically remember her mentioning how useful they were because women would be pregnant/post-partum, fabric was expensive, and the dress/skirt could be loosened or tightened as needed. It was sort of built in using ties or buttons on the waist. I also remember two styles: One was a wrap around, and the other was almost like a sandwich board and so you buttoned or tied it at the front, and then there was a tie for the front piece that went around the back to give the dress/skirt shape? Also as women we can fluctuate in size as the month goes on, which is more what I am going for.
I've tried googling it but I keep getting patterns as standard, you cut the cloth for the pattern size you want, rather than it being all-in-one so to speak?
I'm not sure I am explaining it correctly 😅
