Dressing History Patterns!

Our brand new range of historically accurate scaled dress patterns enable you to reproduce your own wardrobe from the past. We attempt to pick out the less easy to find styles which are commonly found in extant garments, but less commonly found among re-enactors today.

All patterns cost £5, and consist of a scaled pattern, line drawings and instructions for historically accurate construction.

This range is brand new, and will be expanding shortly.
