Let’s sew a women’s suffrage style dress for Ever After High dolls w/today’s free PDF sewing pattern! #WomenInHistory #DollClothesPatterns

 

For your free patterns and tutorial videos, please scroll down to the second set of bullets.

Today’s free printable PDF sewing pattern was inspired by a woman named Ruza Wenclawska, who played an important role in the passage of laws that allowed women the right to vote here, in the United States.

Also known as Rose Winslow (and later by her married name, Rose Lyons), Ruza Wenclawska was part of a hunger strike by women who were arrested for picketing on behalf of women’s suffrage. This powerful moment in history was immortalized on the big screen in the film, Iron Jawed Angels.

You can read more about Rose Winslow on Wikipedia, or purchase and read Jailed for Freedom, by Doris Stevens, an account of the Occoquan Workhouse (more of a prison than a workhouse), where Ruza Wenclawska and other women of substance staged their hunger strike.

Ms. Winslow, sadly, died in 1977, but today’s blog post and free pattern are meant to honor her memory, and to thank her for all that she did to make sure I and my daughters have had the right to vote in this country.

As I say in my tutorial video at the top of today’s blog post, I was enrolled in a class on women’s suffrage when I made today’s tutorial video and when I designed these patterns. I tried to make them look a lot like the outfit Rose Winslow is wearing in the primary photo of her on her Wikipedia page.

What do you think? Did I do okay? Does it represent her clothing well? Feel free to leave a comment at the end of today’s post!

In this photo an Ever After High "Ashlynn Ella" doll stands with her shoulders at a slight angle away from the camera. Her hands are at her sides and her head is turned at an angle with her chin slightly up. She wears handmade period-correct doll clothes for the late nineteen-tens or the early nineteen-twenties with a long-sleeved white cotton shirt worn under a dropped-waist purple pinafore that's also made of cotton with tiny white dots printed on it. Her hat is a turquoise blue color, as are her little "Toms" style loafer shoes (with teeny-tiny purple tags). Her hat's brim is turned up in a style that was fashionable in the early twentieth century.

For this drop-waist pinafore, you’ll need some cotton and a few Dritz size 4/0 snaps. And if you’d like to make the hat, the shirt, and the sash, click on those links. The shoes have a pattern, but they do not yet have a tutorial video for making them. Sorry about that!
