An Essential for the Edwardian Wardrobe,
By
This review is from: The Edwardian Modiste: 85 Authentic Patterns with Instructions, Fashion Plates, and Period Sewing Techniques (Paperback)
This book is remarkable! It has everything you could possibly need for a complete Edwardian wardrobe, including undergarments (except corsets). I was a little intimidated when looking through it, but when you draft up the patterns it is actually remarkably easy. The jacket I made fit on the first try. A little knowledge on linings is needed (if you want them) because they are not included in the patterns. A fabulous book and I highly recommend it!

Thanks Fran, this book is great. A good selection of pattern which should keep me going for a while. I like the style and layout of the book. Plenty of additional information. I also bought After a fashion, which is a great companion to getting the correct look for the period.

This review is from: The Edwardian Modiste: 85 Authentic Patterns with Instructions, Fashion Plates, and Period Sewing Techniques (Paperback)
I've been sewing off-and-on all my adult life, but I'm going to have to get my husband the engineer to help me draw up these patterns. Her method, copied from the original ones, is a multi-step project that appears to require some drafting skill in addition to sewing skill. Nevertheless, the original patterns of the era are scarce and painfully expensive and not user-friendly, so this is surely worth trying. Do not expect to whip these little numbers up quickly, however. On the other hand, who would ever want to make or wear most of the shapeless dreck in today's pattern books?
