Dover Historic Costumes and How to Make Them

I've passed it to the people who are responsible for our costumes and they think it's OK.

Great reference guide to period costumes, good illustrations and easy instructions

Peccato che e’ in lungai inglese. Se non fosse per quello sarebbe perfetto. Da molte indicazioni. Potrebbe essere più facile ma se si ha hai dimestichezza con il cucito e’ perfetto

This book is not for the beginner, nor is it likely to be favored by the casual sewer trying to quickly complete a historically inspired Halloween costume. It is however an excellent resource for one who is interested in creating clothes for historical reenactment both live and on screen. For stage productions this is a great starting point for accuracy while any necessary adjustments for quick changes will be up to the costumer to adjust or engineer.The book offers patterns for men and women from a broad swath of European/British History, As such this book is great for a costumer who wants to work in different periods of historical dress.The text and lists also give good guidance on what types of materials would be most historically accurate to use.These patterns will likely give historically accurate construction and seam placement on finished garments.They include all the needed parts but they are at 1/8 scale and don't have any grid drawn on them. the pattern pieces don't seem to have any obvious guidance on which way to lay the fabric either (as in no grain line on the patterns.) The instructions are very parred down so only an experienced sewer is likely to know what really needs to happen as part of each step.

i love the little diagrams a lot of info

Libro completísimo. Agradecería se hubiera completado la edición original con patrones a ramaño natural.
