So the last few years of seriously researching 18th century sewing techniques have finally paid off and produced a first book!
This book studys and concentrates on a gown remade at some point during the 1750s and 1760s.
The book provides a photo heavy study of the gown, a look at the stitches and threads used on the gown. It also provides a scaled down pattern of the original gown plus a Step-by-Step guide teaching how to make the gown using the EXACT methods that the original seamstress used.
It also talks a bit about the history of the night-gown and how it developed, plus there’s a chapter taking a deeper look at the alterations made on the gown.
All in all – it’s a useful and informative book on this c.1760s yellow night-gown!
