The book presents information both in articles and text-box asides, and uses line drawings and period illustrations as well as photographs and patterns of the actual garments. BEST of all, the book shows clear photographs of the INTERIOR construction of these garments, which is lost in most other books. (Janet Arnold shows a few interiors, but Nancy Bradfield seems to be the best about remembering to include construction.)I'm so very, very happy that Quite Specific Media decided to bring this one back into print! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful High-Quality Source Book! *by on Reviewed in the United States February 9, 2014* Priced fairly for what it is, this book is a high-quality source for people who want to specialize in the 18th century fashions but do not want to settle for the imitation genre of historical sewing like the kind of costuming typical for Halloween and theater projects. This book is especially appropriate for civilian (non-military) interpreters in the Revolutionary War period re-enactment community. That's the main reason I purchased it. It's an ideal guide to show accurate patterns and the layout of a sewing project in very nice color. Even though it's not a series of step-by-step photos of someone piecing each part of a garment together, it still presents good facts to help the reader imagine how a garment was made, including what kinds of fabrics it was made of. The variety of garments presented is very satisfying too. Certain designs explain certain functions, such as working-wear as opposed to fancier attire. There are examples for both men's and women's clothing of that time in history.Consider carefully, for the reader to successfully attempt to actually re-create an example of something that's shown in the book, an intermediate level of prior sewing skill or higher would be recommended. Intermediate for the simpler style of projects, and advanced skill for the more formal-style projects. This book clearly does not appear to be intended for beginners in the construction of clothes in general. However, it's got what it takes to inspire even a beginner historical seamstress or tailor to aim higher. That's definitely the case for me.My favorite aspect of the book is that the content is of a professional nature and is definitely no-nonsense, right from the archives of Colonial Williamsburg! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Patterns aren’t easy to use *by on Reviewed in the United States November 26, 2022* Honestly, I thought I was going to be able to just use the patterns out of this book. That is definitely not the case. This book is a great historical reference, but not great for translating to making something for someone now. I still really enjoyed reading it and learning, but it didn’t quite fill what I needed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4897596-costume-close-up-clothing-construction-and-pattern-1750-1790](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/4897596-costume-close-up-clothing-construction-and-pattern-1750-1790) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
