Period Patterns and Boning
The period clothing I offer is a starting point for your costuming needs.
For those of you that are more adventurous I have added patterns and supplies to my offerings. The patterns listed here reflect some of the best historic research on authentic period garb that I can find. I have added notes about the complexity of the patterns based on my use of the patterns, and the opinions of other costumers. Do not be intimidated by a more complex pattern than your skill level, but do plan to spend more time with a pattern, and even making a sample piece before cutting out expensive material.
