the patterns look like Kohlers, but it is interesting.
bias plaid cottes of cuteness.
Monkey pirate costumes
Incomplete costumes:
Munchkin's dragon for hallows (wearable with safety pins)
Boys Moden gown (well the stays and petticoat were finished)
well that's a bit depressing!
I also need to print out patterns for giftage and mock ups of the doublet I drafted yesterday.
Need to start sewing if I want to gift to people!
I am also going to make up a basic kirtle bodice and at least one other doublet style. the goal is kind of a mix and match early-mid 16th cent german inspiration.

I just tried on the green kirtle and black velvet doublet bodice on TJ. the straight sleeve smock is a bit small, and a shirt more like those seen in PoF4 would be better, but I am putting that at the end of the list. I still need to attach the skirt to the doublet, after I finish hemming it.
Munchkin needs all new. I need to finish my English gown from TT.
The funny thing is I started both the English gown and the boy doublet 2 years ago when we were trying to make that 12th night. (got sick)
uploading pictures, not sure if any turned out.

It looks hard, and upright, but the garter clips on the top are really throwing me for a loop!
Here's another uneducated seller with an early 19th cent stays on backwards listed as 1900 Edwardian!
Others of interest.
the sleeves on this 1850's bodice are fun. File away from future use.
18th cent corset/bodice with lacing rings. looks ethnic like those at the met.
1830's boys dress.
Boy's Kilted suit. the skirt has an attached bodice. with vest, jacket, fly and socks in original box!
1910-20 Norfolk suit.
And this time for ease of reading, I am going to be bad and put the images directly in the post!
( images behind cut )while it isn't in the best condition, what I find interesting is the Spiral bones in the casings appear to be removable.
AND the BUSK has spriral bones apparently over the top of the flat steels. I am going to resist the urge to go dig up patents for that busk.

"The skeleton corset without fabric between the bones with a waistband made of scrim was one of his first inventions Marshall Field soon placed large orders and the model became extremely popular in the late 1860's."
"Since the inaugural ball of 1861 when Abraham Lincoln encircled the ballroom with the beautiful wife of Stephen A Douglas on his arm there has not been an inaugural ball in Washington in which the corsets manufactured by David Hale Fanning have not figured conspicuously."
So he was making corsets in 1861?
And now for other searching
