This is the very first costume pattern that Angie and I used, way back in 1998. I don’t remember what drew us to this pattern, other than it was along the lines of the Renaissance costumes that I remembered see in 1994. This is pattern is currently out of print, and has been for many years. I still had my original copy tucked back in my pattern boxes. When looking for something to make for my birthday/Dinner in a Costume event, I decided to revive this pattern. This pattern is as easy as it looks. It consists of a blouse, skirt and overdress. Options include an apron, 2 styles of hat and removable over sleeves. I only used the blouse and the bodice of the overdress. I draped my own skirt, and the panels of the overdress, as I wanted skirts that were much fuller than the pattern offered. I used broadcloth for the whole outfit. I will probably use this pattern many more times.
