I don’t know how to knit, and sadly I don’t have enough money to purchase endless pairs of gorgeous American Duchess stockings, so having beautiful period looking stockings to go with my outfits has always seemed an unattainable dream. Instead I made do by layering coloured nylon stockings until they were thick enough to look period, or using modern silk blend socks, but I’ve always wanted to come up with a solution that was closer to a period stockings. After a bit of trial and error, I’ve developed a pattern and method for making a reasonable facsimile of period stockings. It’s not entirely period accurate, but it gives a very plausible effect for 18th-early 20th c wear. For the pattern, I was inspired by stockings like these: My pattern has a back seam, a pointed back heel detail, darts to shape around the heel and ankle, and seams running around the side of the feet.

The Met, 1897-99 (via) - an excellent start to a fabulous Steampunk ensemble. My favorites are the original gowns that unknowingly have that Steampunk flavor. I haven't been working on my wedding gown. I'm quite terrible and maybe lazy, but I just haven't felt like it.

***This is NOT a physical item*** This is a written pattern that guides you with clear pictures, diagrams and drawings. You can see the pictures above of my lovely testers who have helped me to create this pattern to fit all sizes! It is perfect for a beginner who wants to make a simple cute bralette! This top was designed and debuted in Trinidad, a sunny tropical twin island in the Caribbean also known as Trinidad and Tobago. This bralette consists of two bra cups which will be worked consecutively. Next, the Willow Squares will be made separately and attached together along with the straps. Lastly, the beading at the bottom will be worked and then your beautiful Mosaic Bralette will be complete! I used a mix of 50% bamboo and 50% cotton yarn from YarnArt. The softer the yarn, the more the Willow Squares will drape nicely! There is some measuring involved to ensure a perfectly custom fit so make sure to have a measuring tape in hand! This pattern also includes links to my Youtube videos!!
