Starting with the early years of Victoria's reign, this essential
book examines the developments and evolution of fashionable dress
as it progressed throughout her six decades as queen. From the
demure styles of the 1840s to the exaggerated sleeves of the 1890s,
it explores the ever-changing Victorian silhouette, and gives
patterns, instructions and advice so that the amateur dressmaker
can create their own versions of these historic outfits. Other
topics covered include: information on tools and equipment; a guide
to transferring pattern pieces; a concise guide to the various
layers of Victorian underwear; step-by-step instructions with
colour photographs to help construct the patterns and advice on how
to personalize the outfit. Illustrations of fashion plates,
Victorian carte de visite photographs and original surviving
garments provide visual inspiration and reference.
