    Folkwear #116 - Shirts of Russia & Ukraine - Unisex Sewing Pattern

    Folkwear #116 Shirts of Russia & Ukraine pattern features popular shirts, worn by late 19th-century peasants and nobility alike. They reflect a merging of European and Central Asian textile traditions, creating a unique folk art. All three shirts are narrower than many ethnic styles; each has a high snug collar, a lined shoulder area, and narrow side panels. 

    View A is typical straight-sleeved Ukrainian shirt; the center front opening has facings turned to the outside and closes with hooks and eyes. 

    View B, from North-Central Ukraine, features an overlap side closing. The sleeves are gathered into narrow cuffs; cuffs and collar may be fastened with hooks and eyes or traditional button-and-loop closures. 

    The off-center side placket in View C is a Russian feature. Its folded construction conceals a buttoned closing. 

    In all three styles, the collar, sleeve hems or cuffs and front opening may be left untrimmed, finished with braid, or embroidered. Authentic embroidery designs are given for each style.

    Pattern runs small.  Please size up a size to give yourself enough room for any adjustments. Folkwear recommends you ease the collar into the neck, hand basting first to get the ease correct.

    Reconstructing History #RH940 - Inverness Coat or Sherlock Cape Sewing Pattern

    Look like your favourite movie star in your own Sherlock Holmes Inverness Coat. The Inverness Coat is really more of a cape than a coat. Starting as a single-breasted variation of the Ulster, in the 1870s the cape stopped going all the way around the back and was instead sewn into the armholes in the rear. In the 1880s, sleeves were deemed unnecessary and the armhole was cut away to accommodate movement. Thus the flowing outer garment made famous by Sherlock Holmes was born!

    This easy-to-use pattern (based on an original tailor's draft from the period) helps you make a fabulous Inverness Coat!

    Fits chests 38" to 54". All sizes in one envelope.

    Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you've come to expect from Reconstructing History.

    Truly Victorian #142 - 1856 Walking Cage Crinoline - Hoop Skirt Pattern. 

    The walking cage crinoline is a mid-sized support foundation for the period of 1856-1866. Called a “cage” because of the cage-like appearance created by the hoop wires and vertical support tapes, this type of crinoline offers maximum support capabilities for a perfect shape, combined with flexibility for comfortable wear. This cage is in a domed shape, perfect for the years 1856 – 1860. We have added a cincher style belt for ease of wear.

    110″ in circumference at the hem, 33″ in length to hem level, and has 8 hoop wires to support the weight of heavy skirts. A “bag” at the hem keeps the wearer from stepping through the hoops.

    Be "uplifted" by Regency stays!   Wear under Reconstructing History RH838 Regency Evening Dress.

    This easy-to-use pattern, based on extant and pictorial examples, helps you make your own light, short-waisted corsets, or stays, circa 1800.

    Fits busts 30½"-48" and waists 23"-41". All sizes in one envelope.
    Or order a Made to Measure pattern in your personal measurements.

    Reconstructing History #RH904 - 19th Century Men's Frock Coat Sewing Pattern

    The 19th century Frock Coat probably began as a military garment, buttoned to the neck with a standing collar. The Frock Coat was strictly for undress (informal) wear at this early date. The dress coat for both day and evening wear was the Tail Coat. Like the Tail Coat, the Frock Coat was worn both single- and double-breasted. The longer Great Coat or Top-Frock Coat was going out of fashion by this time, soon to be replaced with the Chesterfield, Ulster, and Inverness Cape that we still see in use today.

    Use our easy-to-follow pattern to make a Men's Frock Coat or Top Coat appropriate for the 1840s through 1860s with narrow cuffs, attached wide skirts, side panel, and optional shoulder cape. Knee-length and long versions included.

    Fits chests 34" to 54". All sizes in one envelope.

    Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you've come to expect from Reconstructing History.
