18th Century Pattern

I was wondering if anyone had a good 18th century patten I could borrow? I tried to drape a robe a la francaise and that went… less than great :stuck_out_tongue: I’m up in Auckland - thanks!

store.reconstructinghistory.com/ has lots of patterns i have some but not 18th Centuary unfortunatly, good luck finding something

They’re electronic patterns, so no waiting for postage, but it can be a pain in the arse getting the pattern printed and laid out properly. (So pluses and minuses.)

Thanks for that guys :slight_smile: I have been talking to some people on an 18th century FB group and they recommended J.P. Ryan’s for a novice like myself. Lots of historical accuracy and a decent amount of instructions! Much like Truly Victorian they do a bulk shipping rate of $28. Does anyone want to order anything from here - jpryan.com PM me if you’re keen!
