Patterns of Fashion 2: Englishwomen's Dresses and Their Construction C.1860-1940 Review: Great Research Book for Those Interested in Making Period Clothing - I have the others in this series (the ones with earlier period clothing) and this is just as wonderful. Great illustrations and drawings make construction details clear even without reading the text, but this is NOT a book for someone looking to peruse some pretty dresses from earlier eras. Review: doesn't get much better than this - It's Patterns of Fashion; doesn't get much better than this. No detailed construction tips, but this is in the period where dressmaking guides were widely published (and accessible open source online now). Some of the later-date dress patterns are quite dense on the page, but that's more due to the complexity of the patterns than any fault of the author. I would also say the dresses here are a bit more "specific" in taste than those in PoF1, which seem to be more representative of their periods. However, it's easy to adapt a bodice or skirt pattern to your specific taste, and this book contains many of those. I also personally like the period pattern and cutting guides in the front. Lifted directly from period magazines and patterns, these double the number of patterns and styles you get with the book, if you are willing to scale them yourself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,551,558 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,941 in Fashion Craft | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (130) | | Dimensions | 14.5 x 0.5 x 10.5 inches | | Edition | 3rd | | ISBN-10 | 0896760278 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0896760271 | | Item Weight | 1.06 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 88 pages | | Publication date | April 1, 2007 | | Publisher | Drama Pub | ## Images ![Patterns of Fashion 2: Englishwomen's Dresses and Their Construction C.1860-1940 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Aj5uFYZpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Research Book for Those Interested in Making Period Clothing *by A***Y on November 1, 2015* I have the others in this series (the ones with earlier period clothing) and this is just as wonderful.

The patterns are wonderfully drafted and scaling them up is a breeze. Yes, there are alterations that had to be made to some of them size-wise, but nothing worth sweating about. My books have seen lots of use though I still haven't managed to make anything for myself. The details that are provided with sketches and the patterns are wonderful for anyone looking to reproduce any of the garments. That being said, they aren't the best representation of the time period nor of the different classes, but it is still an amazing series of books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3934091-patterns-of-fashion-2-englishwomens-dresses-and-their-construction-c](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3934091-patterns-of-fashion-2-englishwomens-dresses-and-their-construction-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
