Hello Joy, thanks for your long list:
1. Hill and Bucknell, The Evolution of Fashion, Pub. B.T.Batsford. I actually own that one and have it here! Yes, there is a 1830s man's outfit there. I should try to draft that myself but don't really have the time (I think). The pattern sketches in there are quite rough and the remarks relatively sparse. "trousers: cut with a front fall" huh? how? That's precisely what I don't know how to do and need a pattern for. I have a (general) problem with patterns for pants/trousers. But it's a great resource to give me ideas. Then also, the frock from Tailors Guide is double-breasted and the one in Hill& Bucknell single-breasted. 2. Norah Waugh, The Cut of Men's Clothes 1600-1900, Pub Faber and Faber. I apparently have the wrong book by Waugh here! and also by Arnold :-( just missing that one period for men. 4. Edited R.L. Shep, Late Georgia Costume, Contains The Tailor's friendly Instructor (1822), The Art of Tying the Cravat (1828), Pub. R.L. Shep. Thanks a ton for all the advice.. :: Bar bara Ma rien _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
