Somewhat disappointing,
By
This review is from: Authentic Victorian Fashion Patterns: A Complete Lady's Wardrobe (Paperback)
The buyer should know that a large majority of the patterns have blouses in the leg of mutton style. Since this was not what I was looking for I had to send it back. However the patterns did seem to be historically accurate.

Historic Tailoring Tips Revealed,
By Claudia Clarke Villa (Phoenix, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Authentic Victorian Fashion Patterns: A Complete Lady's Wardrobe (Paperback)
Have you ever wondered how they made those lovely turn-of-the-century gowns? This book tells you how they did it! A reprint of a 1905 Butterick sewing book, it is intended for readers who aready know how to sew, as no beginning techniques are included. Full of vintage photographs and detailed instructions, this book gives step by step procedures for many tailoring techniques which we rarely see on anything but designer wear. These techniques can be applied by any seamstress to produce a more fitted and tailored look to their fashions. Definately worth owning for any costumer or fashion designer looking for a more romantic and tailored look in their fashions.

A Must,
By
This review is from: Authentic Victorian Fashion Patterns: A Complete Lady's Wardrobe (Paperback)
A must have book for anyone interested in Late Victorian clothing. The introductions gives a basic review of drafting methods, with careful reading and patience (lots of it!) the patterns are easily drafted to modern measurements. You can't beat the price for the number of patterns you get.
