Perfect for Stage and Reenactment

The living history enthusiast or theater costumer will find this book helpful in constructing accurate basic garments from the American colonial period. Graphed patterns are provided to be enlarged and resized as needed. A brief explanation of hand sewing techniques used by women of the time period is provided as well. I lost my original copy of this book and was so pleased to find a replacement.
