I certainly am not on to hoard my research like a hermit. Ok, I am a hermit, but I will gladly share my work! E.

Forgive me for being vague, but I am glad that this will help you : ).E.

The costume patterns from the commercial pattern houses (butterick, simplicity, etc.) Can get away with less accuracy for the sake of theatrical or Halloween purposes. However patternmakers targeting living history and reenactment have a responsibility to do more research since many people rely on them to have done their homework.Hungarican Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868314128333948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656333689963298236.post-44234862032833001352013-08-01T22:55:54.111-07:002013-08-01T22:55:54.111-07:00How wonderful to connect this subtle but distincti...How wonderful to connect this subtle but distinctive change to the seaming of a garment (and the corset underneath). Of course there would be people less fashion-forward who were not 'early adopters.' For the re-enactors, it is good to know these fine points and then calibrate your character accordingly, as to just how up to date they might be... or not!

Thank you, thank you very much for sharing your research!<br />It is always amazing that we actually do have the sources, we just need to take a closer look and start to read 'their' journals, books and letters and compare fashion plates to museum pieces. All the way through the centuries they have left these footsteps, so we might follow them back to gain understanding of what happened two hundred years ago.<br />SabineKleidung um 1800https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187943106849398728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656333689963298236.post-10147061237722218532013-08-01T19:21:38.044-07:002013-08-01T19:21:38.044-07:00WORD!WORD!The Bohemian Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731319639373948807noreply@blogger.com
