The Elizabethan Lady's Underpinnings
Second Edition
Customer comment! Using the First Edition, Mary Lou says: "Margo's pattern is the most comfortable corset I have ever worn. There is no slouching in the ones I have made, and I always feel as though I have the proper silhouette for the period and the high noble gowns that I wear."
The Elizabethan Lady's Underpinnings package contains a wide range of undergarments suitable for use with our Elizabethan Lady's Wardrobe patterns, or with any Elizabethan upper-class costumes. Like all our patterns, these are based on rigid historical research rather than movies, 19th-century etchings, or guesswork and fancy. Working carefully from the best sources available, we have produced a set of undergarment patterns that are authentic, feasible for the experienced sewer, and -- when you consider what you get for the money -- a tremendous bargain to boot!
In addition, the package comes with complete instructions like you've never seen before: 102 pages of extensively illustrated text, 3-hole punched for insertion in a binder. This includes a great deal of instruction in advanced sewing and costuming techniques, as well as appendices, sizing and measuring charts, and a detailed bibliography. The attractive cover insert will give a look you'll be proud to have on your reference shelf.
Customer comment! Joyce writes: "These patterns are just beautiful! and the instructions... whoa - very nicely done. I love the fact that they're 8x11, with enough whitespace for me to write in my own notes...thanks again for such a beautiful and enormous project."
The patterns are multi-sized from 2 to 30. Four separate drafts were made and graded to avoid distorting the fit and proportions of the garments. The resulting patterns were tested by sewers with a wide range of body types and sewing expertise.
