Spencer Jacket or Pelisse Pattern Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Used the pattern to make a dress for my "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" themed engagement party. Previous to this, I had only sewed one other item on my brand new sewing machine. I was able to follow the pattern, and with a few "learning" curves, sew a wonderful, period dress! Thank you!

Big Sky Riding Skirt Pattern Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I made the 'Big Sky Riding Skirt' for a dear friend. It fit her beautifully. The skirt has a 21st century look, with clean-lines; quite versatile with the button-front panel which folds (button-down) to the right leg. The leg openings are roomy. The look is more than ranch-style; it's urban-chic!!!

Bring out the cowgirl in you! Equestrian women of the early 20th century, who were determined to ride astride rather than sidesaddle, wore these divided skirts. An ingenious fashion, with front panel that buttons one way for a skirt and the other way for pants. Pattern is derived from a skirt worn by legendary rancher and rodeo rider, Fannie Sperry Steele. Suggested fabrics: Medium to heavyweight cottons and blends such as poplin, denim, gabardine, corduroy; linen; light to medium-weight wools; suiting weight silks

Misses Western Split Skirt, Jacket, Vest and Leggings Pattern (1890 - Present) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this pattern except that the sizes are way too small. I made the size 24 only to find that it is more like an 18! I put the skirt on after making it and could not make the waistband ends meet. They were 6 inches apart!
What a shame. I bought all that material, spent the time to make it and can't wear it unless I was to loose 30 pounds!

Sewing Patterns to make a 1870's - 1880's Petticoat with Wire Bustle. Multisized S-XXL. This petticoat bustle is based on an actual garment as seen in Harper's Bazaar magazine. This pattern will create a moderate sized bustle, proportioned to your hip size (one size does not fit all). It can be used as support for either 1870's or 1880's style of bustle dress. When combined with the flounce overlay, no other petticoat is needed. This petticoat has a center front closure, and four hoop bones built into the back. This design allows for structural support for heavy skirts combined with ease of movement and wearability (you can sit down without making any adjustments to the bustle!!) This petticoat will also fold flat for ease of storage. No other bustle pattern can offer this amount of comfort and style. Just put it on and forget it.
