Historic Costumes and How to Make Them
Product Description
by Mary Fernald, Eileen Shenton
This book is a wonderful overview of each period from the Saxons to Victorian time. Notes on text, the first half of the book gives overall trends of each era, then the later half of the book has diagrams of the basic shapes to lay out with a portrait as an example of what the finished costume should look like. You can use this to adapt your own patterns.
