Reconstructing History #RH841 - 19 Century Pelisse - Long Ladies' Coat (Regency)

The Regency Period conjures up images of women swanning around the manicured lawns of stately homes wearing diaphanous white high-waisted gowns that look more like nightgowns to the modern eye than daywear. But it did not take long before women wearing these beautiful dresses made from fine imported cotton came home to the fact that the weather in England is bloody awful. 

Female riding costume supplied an idea: a short jacket that ended under the bust. Enter the pelisse. 

Our easy-to-use pattern helps you make a lady's pelisse circa 1815-20 based on an extant and pictorial examples.

Fits busts 30"- 50". 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.

Suggested Fabrics: silk taffeta, fine wool (heavy cotton or linen for underbody)

Notions: thread, buttons, hooks and eyes (closure), passementerie and decoration to taste

Yardage Requirements: 6 yards at least 54” wide

Reconstructing History #RH843 - 19 Century Spencer - Longer (Regency)

In the 1820s, the ladies' Spencer jacket returned to its roots as a man's jacket. The Spencer became more tailored with interlinings and interior structure added. The decoration also returned to the military with double-breasted varieties sporting rows of buttons set in martial fashion. Braid adorned Spencer jackets, and in an unusual throwback to the Renaissance, sleeve tops sported elaborately sculpted poufs.

Our easy-to-use pattern, based on extant and pictorial examples, helps you make your own front closing lady's Spencer jacket circa 1820, with long sleeves, center front closure, and rounded collar.

The story goes that the Second Earl of Spencer was sleeping next to a fire. Hot coals rolled out and onto the tails of his coat. So he had the tails of his coat cut off and thus invented the Spencer jacket. The fashion soon ran to cut the tails off their jackets. This may be the origin of women's Spencer jackets. 

Fits busts 30"- 50". 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.

Suggested Fabrics: silk taffeta, fine cotton (heavy cotton or linen for underbody)

Notions: thread, ties, decoration to taste

Yardage Requirements: 3 yards at least 54” wide

Reconstructing History #RH842 - 19 Century Spencer - Shorter (Regency)

The ladies' Spencer jacket in the 1810s is something very different to ladies' riding costume in previous decades. There are no military or masculine elements on display. It is entirely feminine, almost an item of undress. In fact, it is not dissimilar from the top of women's gowns. Jackets of this type were very light, often functioning as a cover-up for a dress with rather diaphanous sleeves, a chilly prospect in damp and rainy England.

Our easy-to-use pattern, based on extant and pictorial examples, helps you make your own lady's spencer jacket circa 1810.  This is a short spencer, reaching just below the bust and closing center front with drawstrings.  An inner bodice forms the bust into the proper position.  Choose RH834 early 1800s stays if you need more support.
