Lately I've been working on a waistcoat to go under my Snowshill riding habit. I really love the look of this menswear inspired style, but before jumping in, I needed to take a closer look at the evolution of the waistcoat throughout the 18th century. Lancret,
"Was there only one world after all, which spent its time dreaming of others?" ~Philip Pullman I have been working on this post all weekend and I can't wait to show it to you! The sheer volume of photographs that I had to go through was overwhelming! I've narrowed them down though to what you will probably still think is an extravagant amount, but I loved them all! My sister and I went to an exhibit at our local museum this week showcasing costumes from thirty odd films. It was spectacular! We had such a wonderful time and the best part was that I was allowed to bring my camera! I have included a list at the end of the photos of the films these costumes are from (sadly there are two I can't remember). I hope you enjoy looking through them as much as Emma and I did! I have also included a little sketch of my most favorite gown from the Phantom of the Opera...it is the last in the group. Enjoy!

This week on Costume Analytics we will take a trip across the Pond and look at a snazzy American fashion, depicted in Ralph Earl's 1791 portrait of Mrs. William Moseley. This is a fascinating portrait because it not only depicts a Not-French and Not-English ensemble, but
Yes, I want this dress.

We had been wanting to make a more Victorian version of our redingote for quite awhile. The word "redingote" is a French version of the English "riding coat." This version of the coat (versus the other version that has a slightly more modern look), has a ruched back and metal buttons in the front as well as a small shawl collar. The coat is made from a stunning charcoal wool melton and fully lined in a regency era reproduction print cotton. Note: Each coat is completely custom made. I may or may not be able to get exactly the same lining, but this means that you can choose your lining (just contact us so we can discuss the options). This price includes having the coat made in black or charcoal wool melton, but other options are available upon request. Either before or after you order, we can discuss measurements needed for the coat. All sizes are available including plus sizes.

This is the old version of my portfolio. For the new one, have a look on my Pinterest board! Every time I make something new, I try to post it. But I already made lots of things before I started this blog! Here’s an overview of all the historical items I’ve made so far, largely in the order of making. When no mention of a pattern is made, that means I improvised. My first ever historical piece, a Regency day dress (Photo by Johan Evers) I found it difficult to get my hair right in the beginning, but I do love the décor on this photo. I have since lowered the neckline of this dress, and added a gold band on top of the ribbon at the waist and wrists. White Regency bonnet with flowers, and matching reticule A Regency spencer with regimental buttons of the 92nd Highland regiment Regency redingote, beret and matching reticule A Regency ball gown made of silk with a woven in kashmir pattern Late 1920s clothing This is a cotton satin slip with matching tap pants. The slip was inspired by the blue crepe the Chine one with lace insertion on page 116 of Fashion From The 18th To The 20th Century by the Kyoto Costume Institute. I based the pattern for this coat on my bath robe :P. Regency short stays Pattern: I got a hand-drawn copy of the pattern for this from a friend, so I’m not sure which it is; possibly Simplicity 4052 or Sense & Sensibility Regency Underthings. Regency camp follower’s / working class outfit A Regency turban to match my knitted pineapple reticule A pair of Regency gentleman’s breeches (Photo by Stephan Vroom) A Regency stovepipe hat and woollen spencer (Photo by Hans Hoevenaar) Regency morning jacket and cap Jacket pattern: Patterns of Fashion 1 by Janet Arnold, a shortened version of the c. 1795-1803 Victoria & Albert Museum robe (pages 43-45). 17th century clothing (The brown spots aren’t due to wearing, but to the tea I spilled over the corset just after finishing it...) Corset pattern: drafted based on The ‘pair of straight bodies’ and ‘a pair of drawers’ dating from 1603 which Clothe the Effigy of Queen Elizabeth I in Westminster Abbey (Costume, vol. 41, 2007) by Janet Arnold, and http://www.elizabethancostume.net/effigy.htm Bum roll pattern: drafted based on http://www.elizabethancostume.net/bumroll.html Drawers pattern: Patterns of Fashion 4 by Janet Arnold, number 64 (pages 50-51 and 106); embroidery pattern from Blackwork Embroidery Archives.

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.

Georgian era Riding Habit
This week is Polly / Oliver week (also Tax week, T-Shirt week, get-that-darn-car-sorted week, and plan-next-semester’s-schedule-week), and I’m working on it like mad. As a bit of a Hudson-Bay start after my little meltdown/epiphany over the weekend, (or really, a Hudson-Bay Start after a 5 year delay in getting this enterprise off the ground), I took stock of what I had, re-looked for inspiration, and have finally sorted out what I’m actually going to do, and what is actually going to work. I started with late 18th century female dress borrowed from male hunting attire and military uniforms, some real, some rather satirical: This print shows an outfit almost identical to the one on the cover of Monstrous Regiment, but for women: I’ve already shown you this image: And, of course, the MA portrait in hunting attire: Finally, the ubiquitous Reynold’s portrait of Lady Worsley: From these, I really love the white single-breasted waistcoat on Lady Worsley and the “Officer in the Light Infantry”, and their black feathered hats. I’m also borrowing the gold binding/ …

PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BEFORE PURCHASE. This is not a standard pattern and some drafting is required. This is a digital draft-at-home pattern drafting template and scale ruler set to make a wonderful, knee-length slightly flared coat from 1947. The coat features a lapel collar, interesting seaming details, and wide, rounded pocket insets. This pattern is from the 1940s but is so timeless that it would be perfect for today! If you’re a fan of the hit TV show Outlander, this is the perfect pattern to replicate Claire’s beautiful blue 1940s coat from the beginning of season 1. Fabric: this pattern requires approximately 3.5 meters (about 4 yards). The original source material gave limited fabric requirements estimated for a 98 cm bust size. More or less may be required depending on the size you choose to draft. SIZING This is a pattern from a French pattern drafting system similar to the Lutterloh golden rule patterns. You will be able to draft a pattern to your exact size from the miniature pattern template and specially designed rulers. To draft any of these special patterns to doll, children, and adult sizes is easy. Rulers are included to draft the pattern as small as a 5 1/2" chest to as large as a 60" chest and the pattern will be scaled perfectly every time. ALL RULERS ARE INCLUDED AS PRINTABLES WITH THESE PATTERNS. Don't have a printer? Not a problem! We offer a printing service for these patterns here: www.etsy.com/listing/196872505 Please note that you will still need to draft your pattern using the printed materials. We are unable to offer a drafting service at this time. The pattern includes basic markings that show you how they fit together, and includes indications such as dotted lines for cutting on the fold. I have included several pages of drafting instructions that I have translated from the original French personally. The illustrated instructions show you how to easily draw your pattern pieces from the miniature pattern template using our special rulers. These patterns were marketed originally to both home seamstresses and professionals alike and assume that you have a basic understanding of clothing construction. The original patterns DO NOT include any sewing instructions or facings. To sew these, you should have a basic understanding of how pattern pieces should fit together. The pattern pieces are illustrated in such a way that you can see how they are supposed to be sewn to each other. DIFFICULTY LEVEL: These patterns might be a bit difficult for the beginner but an intermediate level home seamstress will most likely have little trouble.
