Difficulty: Advanced   


The Aidah Gown pattern is a modish variant of the 'Italian Gown' style fashionable from the mid 1770s to the early 1790s.  This type of gown has a skirt and bodice cut as separate pieces, differentiating it from the earlier Robe à l'Anglaise which featured the skirt and bodice center-back cut as one piece.

Both views of the Aidah feature front pattern pieces that wrap around to the back with no side seams, pointed backs waists, paneled backs with squared-off back necklines and sleeves set far into the back, a full pleated skirt open at the front, two-piece sleeves, removable interior boning, and an optional waist tape.  Choose between a pinned front closure or a hooked front closure.

View A has a smoothly pointed front curve that ends in a truncated V, elbow length or ¾ sleeves, a two panel back, and a floor length skirt.

View B features a tabbed bodice front with an optional cutaway front, full length or ¾ length sleeves, a four panel back, and a slight train.

Mix and match front closures, fronts, backs, skirts, and sleeves for a variety of looks.

The pattern features a clever skirt pattern based on 18th century skirt construction, as well as the detailed historical instructions and helpful fitting guide Scroop + Virgil's Fine Goods patterns are known for.

The Aidah is designed to be interchangeable with elements of the Angelica Gown, to make both patterns more versatile.  The sleeves of the Aidah can be swapped with the Angelica Gown sleeves.  The fronts of the Aidah can also be swapped out with the Angelica front/side-front at the curved side-back seams.

The Aidah Gown is designed to be worn over a full set of 18th century undergarments, including stays, such as the Augusta Stays and a false rump, such as the Frances Rump.

This pattern does not include instructions on making the petticoat (skirt) that is visible at the front of the gown. There are numerous free tutorials for this on the internet.

    Perfect Repair
    Color: Cherry, Size: 2.4"x 15ft
    We purchased a used secretary with hutch, and it had some damage on the veneered decoration on the hutch doors. I discovered this product and ordered the closest match I could find. It was easy to cut to fit and the price was amazing. It looks so good that you could not easily find the repair and I am very happy.

    Professional look overall
    Color: Birch, Size: 1/2"x 25ft
    Installing the edging worked best with a heat gun vs a blow dryer, Adhesive was average, some areas adhered well while some spots kept lifting. The areas where the edging is connected to create the continuous link are very visible and will not blend well when painted. I had more waste by trying to avoid these sections. The edging is easy to cut. I used 220 sand paper to blend the areas where the edging was too wide for the project edge after trimming. Be careful not to over sand the edging. I found both the 1/2 in and 3/4 in are both wider than 1/2 in and 3/4 in plywood. Expect extra time to trim the excess. The edging is flexible and easy to use when working with curved edges. Overall, the edging still gave my projects a professional look.

    A Good Solution for Rough Edges of Wood.
    Color: Birch, Size: 1"x 25ft, Color: Birch, Size: 1"x 25ft
    This is a great product. We needed to recover the booth in our motorhome because the faux leather is peeling. The booth is made of plywood and has rough edges. We opted to cover the booth with heavy wallpaper, but needed something to cover the rough edges. This product is really affordable and very easy to use. It adheres pretty well. We had planned on painting the wood veneer edging, but we decided that the wood tone fit right in with the rest of the trim in the motorhome so we left it raw. While I bought 1" because that is mostly what we needed, some other areas were only 3/4" wide. It was so easy to run an Exacto knife along the extra edge and trim it smoothly.
