The Elizabethan Working Woman's Wardrobe
 $36.00
(Calif. add sales tax)
Here is a pattern package that gives you all the pieces
neccesary to make a complete Elizabethan working class woman's costume!
This package will do for the middle- and lower-classes
what the Elizabethan Lady's Ensemble did for the noblewomen -- in short,
this set provides top-quality patterns, thoroughly researched and documented,
in a single, comprehensive package. No more buying separate patterns
for each piece.
Who needs this pattern? If you portray the thousands of
Renaissance huswives, young girls, and widowed women of the village,
town or city. The ale wenches, shop-women, herbalists, blacksmith's
wives, midwives, chambermaids, farmers' wives, and many others. Until
now you were left without a high-standard, historically accurate option.
No more -- now you have a more authentic option.
IMPORTANT: Most of the pieces in the
Working Woman's Wardrobe are adapted from selected pieces in the Elizabethan
Lady's Ensemble. If you already have the complete Lady's Ensemble --
Underpinnings, Wardrobe
and Accessories patterns, you do not
need this new package.
Of course, if you're starting with a middle-class costume
and planning to do nobles eventually, you might consider buying the
Elizabethan Lady's Ensemble instead*.
The patterns are multi-sized from 2 to 28 (view
sizing chart pdf).
In addition, the package comes with extensive instructions:
90 pages of fully illustrated text, 3-hole punched for insertion in
a binder. This includes instruction in advanced sewing and costuming
techniques, appendices, sizing and measuring charts, a detailed bibliography,
and an attractive cover insert.

"Margo,
I Knew You'd tell me exactly what I needed to know, and how to blend
the Elizabethan Woman and Working Woman patterns to provide just the
right feel."
- Dayna
"It was from a lady around here I heard about
margo's patterns in the first place. I haven't made anything but a working
woman's partlet yet but the pattern instructions have helped me put
together my existing pieces in a much more authentic way."
