Seventeenth-century Women's Dress Patterns: Book Two North Susan
Book Two in the V&A's groundbreaking new series presents 17 patterns for garments and accessories from a seventeenth-century woman's wardrobe. It also features a description of the stay-making process. It includes patterns for a loose gown, a jacket, a pair of stays and a boned bodice, ivory and wooden busks, shoes, a hat, a stomacher, linen bands and supporters, a bag and a knife case.
There are scale patterns and diagrams for making linen and metal thread laces and embroidery designs. Full step-by-step drawings of the construction sequence are given for each garment to enable the reader to accurately reconstruct them. Multiple photographs of the objects, close-up construction details and X-ray photography reveal the hidden elements of the clothes, the precise number of layers and the stitches used inside.
