Possibly one of the most iconic images of a woman of the Georgian era wearing a riding habit has to be that of Lady Seymour Worsley. So, with that in mind, we thought we would take a look at this f…
So, just how did those Georgians cope with cleaning delicate fabrics? They couldn’t simply nip along to a dry cleaner to have them chemically cleaned. Well, we came across this wonderful litt…
Recently I was lucky enough to attend my first ever Costume College, which is an annual gathering of costumers from around the world. We spend three glorious days in lovely Southern CA talking about all things sewing, researching, and making. It is paradise, and made even better by the multiple opportunities to wear our historic finery in an air-conditioned setting (all too rare for us reenactors!). I wore a dress I'd worn many times before, but I did make a brand new necklace! This double-strand collet necklace is based off of this wonderful portrait I recent came across: Duchess Sophia Frederica of Mecklenburg-Schwerin by Georg Matthieu, c. 1774 I was utterly charmed by this portrait, and especially her unusual two strand collet necklace. I had to have one for myself. I whipped it together right before the ball, but I'm pleased with how it turned out! My AMAZING hair was done for me by the lovely Jenny la Fleur! She was kind enough to be my hairdresser AND my roommate, and she was superlative at both tasks!

It's done! I'm so tickled with this outfit. It's incredibly girly and colorful and frilly and unlike anything I have in any of my historical wardrobes! Here's to hoping the next two days go by very, very fast! If any of my dear readers are going to UTR as well, please say hello and introduce yourself. I will be with the 33rd Regiment of Foot. :)
Hi! I've been a lurker for a good while now, and I decided to do a Dress Diary for my next project... I've been meaning to do something like this for the last, oh I don't know, four or five years... but it seems that every time I start sewing I don't think about it until I'm a good halfway through…

This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern for a Georgian dress worn about 1780. Sewing patterns for split bum, pockets and fichu are included. Please scroll down for yardage and pattern information. The Redingote developed from the men´s Great Coat (a long woolen Coat with a cape, worn as outmost layer) and became popular about 1780. A Redingote is worn over a visible petticoat. This petticoat can be embroidered, decorated with ruffles or can be left plain. The product pictures show a steampunk interpretation of the dress, but as well a mostly historicaly accurate dress can be sewn with that pattern. Fitted to be worn over stays or a corset. Also suitable for cosplay costumes. →→WHAT YOU RECEIVE←← This is a DIGITAL pattern (PDF), you can download both size ranges and languages after payment has been confirmed.
