The Georgian and Regency period was a time of extremes in clothing,
from the heights of the extravagant and decorative headdresses to
the widths of the panniers. These garments were supported by a wide
range of padding, boning, frills and flounces to create shape and
texture. This essential book will guide you through the exciting
fashions of the time. Suitable for experts and novices alike, it is
filled with practical projects ranging from grand gowns to dainty
bonnets, all presented with clarity and insight. There are ten
detailed patterns, dating from 1710 to 1820 with five suggested
variations to show how the patterns can be adapted; eight patterns
for contemporary undergarments and seven patterns for accessories.
Step-by-step instructions and photographs show how to construct the
patterns and lavish photographs illustrate the finished designs.
