- If you've followed #costube for any length of time, you've heard about Patterns of Fashion, a series of six books initially created by Janet Arnold and now improved and published by the School of Historical Dress. These books are an invaluable resource for anyone interested in #historicalfashion and #historicalcostuming. They provide detailed drawings, patterns and photography of historical clothing found in museums around the world, along with written descriptions and historical context.
While I'm not the first RUclipsr to recreate an outfit from one of the books, this is MY first experience sewing one of the patterns from start to finish. Take a look at how I scaled up a pattern and recreated this 1780-85 jacket and petticoat using the information provided in Patterns of Fashion 6.

That turned out so nicely! And thank you for keeping in all your temporary set-backs, and fixes; it's easy to look at a finished project that turns out like this, and say to yourself, "I'll never be able to do that!" Seeing how you take it step-by-step, and meet all the challenges the same way, is inspiring. Great video!
Thanks! I think that's one of my overall channel goals, to be helpful to other costumers by showing how I solved problems. I've learned so much from the costumers who do the same thing. No matter how fancy someone's outfit is, you know it didn't happen without at least some trial and error., and I appreciate getting to look 'under the hood' at some of those gorgeous projects. Thanks for letting me know you also appreciate it!
It looks so authentic! I couldn’t even understand half of your explanation on construction but then I’m all about flat work, not clothing. Congratulations on another wonderful ensemble! 👏❤️
Thanks for watching, Mary! And the same would be true for me if you did quilting videos! I wouldn't understand a thing! :-)
That ensemble came out so well! I love the quiet elegance of it.
Thank you so much! I really do love how it turned out. What an adventure!
So lovely to have you back sharing your projects again. You do such beautiful work.
Thanks! It's good to be back! Thank you for watching.
I think the whole project was awesome and I love the finished pieces, very good looking and thanks so much for sharing your process. You are very inspiring.
Thank you so much!
What you did for this garment is what I've done with all my historical garments so far. I can't read a commercial pattern for my life. So, I see a picture and just figure it out from that picture. It can be time consuming. So, I commend you for what you did here - you did a fantastic job!
Thanks! I've always been afraid to try doing what you do, but now that I have more knowledge and experience under my belt, I think I can try that sometime!
What a successful project, well done Lady Colleen!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it.
Love the end result! I’m nearly 52 and started sewing at 12. Still learning new things every time I make something for the first time. Right now I’m making a 1780 suit for my husband. Want to make those death head buttons, never done that before.
I'm 50 and started sewing in middle school, but didn't really do it with any frequency until about 15 or so years ago. And historical costuming has only been in the last couple of years. It'll be a while before I can tackle menswear! And I also have never made a death head button but I really want to some day!
@@ColleenMarble there are good tutorials on RUclips how those buttons are made. In the 90’s I studied at a fashion academy in Amsterdam. One of the subjects was the history of fashion. But in those days as a student, I hardly had time to make the costumes or the money to buy the fabric. It’s so much fun to be able to do all this now. I enjoy it much more. Whether I make it all historically correct or not ( almost impossible anyway) is not so important to me anymore. As long as I’m happy with the outcome. Keep up the good work. Warm regards ❣️
wow, this is really a lovely ensemble. it reminds me of a riding habit. i love what you did with the back of the collar!🩶🖤❤️
Thanks! and I agree! I actually had a bit of footage talking about the similarities to a riding habit, but I had to cut some things or else the video would have been 3 hours long. 🙂
So beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
Very nice! Shared
Awesome! Thank you!
It turned out beautifully. Question about the length…I thought women didn’t show ankles in that timeframe…? BTW the embroidery is awesome…don’t put down your first effort!
Thanks! And yes, that's a great question about the length - the 1780s was one of those moments in time with shorter hemlines. You'll see a lot of fashion plates and paintings with ankle length skirts. That's not to say everyone wore their skirts shorter, but it was common and fashionable. I used those images as inspiration for my skirt length.
