Make your own fashionable Civil War Era Pardessus jacket and bonnet with this pattern beautifully styled pattern from Keepers Dolly Duds. This jacket features princess seams in the front and back that flare elegantly at the waistline to grace your favorite wide skirted Civil War Era dress. Self-fabric ruffles outline the edges of the bell shaped sleeves and hemline. The front of the jacket is secured with three working buttons, however snaps and decorative buttons may be used if preferred. A decorative tab subtly ties all the dainty details together. Top off this ensemble with a matching bonnet that is fully lined and adorned with a self-fabric ruffle that echos the ruffles on the jacket.
