- Details
With techniques that can be easily transferred to any garment, each chapter details the techniques distinctive to each decade, from dramatic changes in the use of panels and bias, through the crinolines and bustles of the 1850s and 1870s, to the gored skirts and swept hems of the elegant 1890s. And features: photographs of a historical garment from the decade, an in-depth garment analysis to help you understand how the cut of the period garment differs from a modern one, instructions to alter the modern pattern blocks provided in Chapter 1 to achieve the period silhouette. You'll also find examples of finished mock-up garments created using the book’s techniques, historical context on the society in which each dress might have been worn, and an accompanying online resource providing basic pattern blocks to download and adapt.
