I have looked at your jacket for the Edwardian period. I want to create a QnD (Quick and Dirty) costume for an auction. I purchaced a suit (jacket and pants for a man in a black with pin stripes). I plan to use the pant fabric to recut the sleeves on the jacket. I plant to recut the jacket to be more appropriate and then make the bottom edge sealed with silk and decorative cording. What I don't know is the shape the sleeves need to be cut. I can't tell, nor did I see a pattern. Perhaps I missed it. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask, do you need to wear a corset with these to give the right look? I am wanting to make a Titanic-era gown but am not too keen on making a corset. I am slim with a small bust, much like you.
