Opis

This practical guide begins with a general history of 19th-century women’s dress and a description of construction techniques used by seamstresses of the period. This is followed by 20 patterns of gowns, jackets, sleeves, stomachers, sacques and petticoats, robes and bedgowns, each with an illustration of the finished piece and an explanation of any deviations from standard construction. This must-have guide is an essential reference for anyone interested in the fashions or the history of the period, or for anyone wishing to recreate their own beautiful Regency clothing. 20 patterns of gowns, petticoats, jackets and other period clothing, drawn from existing Regency garments. Each pattern is drawn to scale, accompanied by detailed photography and an explanation of any specialist construction techniques used. Contains patterns with unusual details, such as petticoat quilting, style of trim, or peplum shaping, that have not been previously documented and, in some cases, never displayed before.
