An 1860s Swiss Waist from My Personal Collection

Swiss waists are versatile little accessories from the mid-nineteenth century. I picked one up in an antique shop years and years ago (I think in Provincetown, maybe?) and have finally taken its pattern. It’s very simple and would be easy to scale up and make!

If you want to see what it actually looks like, though, you’ll need to check out the reel I’ve posted over on Instagram! This is a multimedia experience. (I will probably come back and edit in photos someday, yes. But I’m trying something.)
