Men's Seventeenth & Eighteenth Century Costume: Cut and Fashion

This book is a must if you are sewing men's costumes from these periods. Comes with excellent instructions at the back on drafting a pattern smaller or larger. We used this book during the tailcoat workshop as Simon is a small and the pattern starts at M.

Pre-order of 17th Century Pattern Book

I can't wait for Seventeenth-Century Women's Dress Patterns: Book 1 (Womens Dress Patterns 1) to come out. Its available for pre-order discount at Amazon and looks so enticing. There is such a shortage of information for this period its not funny.

There is a 1630s bodice pattern available for purchase. As with all patterns, make sure you fit a toile before cutting into your good fabric.
