The book includes complete scaled patterns for each costume as well as step-by-step instructions and 250 detailed working drawings. Patterns are also included for all the correctly shaped corsets, petticoats and pads which are essential to make each costume look right for its period. Whether you are an amateur, a student or a professional costume maker, this book is an invaluable source of practical patterns and techniques. [1]. Patterns For Women's Dress 1500-1800 -- [2].
