The Elizabethan Lady's Underpinnings

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!

The Elizabethan Lady's Underpinnings package includes (click on a topic to see technical illustrations):
  • Two styles of smocks, with partlet
  • Corset with style variations
  • Farthingale and bum roll
  • 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.

    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.

    The Elizabethan Lady's Underpinnings package is retail priced at $32.00. (California residents please add sales tax) Click here to go to our ordering page.
