Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of period garments spans nearly 400 years of fashion, from 1550 to 1915, featuring patterns to create made-to-measure perfectly fitted bodices, sleeves, skirts, trousers and much more. This unique method of pattern cutting ensures that, regardless of differences between the historical garment and the modern wearer, the clothes will fit all shapes and sizes perfectly, and patterns can be drafted from illustrations or paintings where no original exists.
