The Georgian and Regency period was a time of extremes in clothing; from the heights of the extravagant and decorative headdresses to the widths of the panniers. These garments were supported by a wide range of padding; boning; frills and flounces to create shape and texture. This essential book will guide you through the exciting fashions of the time. Suitable for experts and novices alike; it is filled with practical projects ranging from grand gowns to dainty bonnets; all presented with clarity and insight. There are ten detailed patterns; dating from 1710 to 1820 with five suggested variations to show how the patterns can be adapted; eight patterns for contemporary undergarments and seven patterns for accessories. Step-by-step instructions and photographs show how to construct the patterns and lavish photographs illustrate the finished designs. With general advice on the period; the role women played in it and the fashions of the day; this book will be of great interest to stage and screen designers; museums and heritage sites; costume players; re-enactors and design students. Lavishly illustated with 309 colour images and step-by-step instructions to show how to construct the patterns.
