The {FREE} American Duchess Cape Pattern

Howdy! Since we put our Patreon to sleep, we needed to find a new place to host the #ADCapeCult 1910s Wrap Cape pattern.

So it’s going to be here! I have to host this on Google Drive, which means you will likely get a pop-up when you click “download” warning you that this might be hooky. I assure you it’s not – it’s just Google looking out for us.

Download, enjoy, and tag #ADCapeCult on Instagram!

Plannings for a Regency Wardrobe

  or the “I have no idea what I’m doing” wardrobe. Reader, I have become complacent. I am far too comfortable in the late 18th century, to the point where I get decidedly nervous and befuddled when venturing into a new time period. The latest excursion is into the mid-Regency period, about 1804-1814. It’s never been a period I’ve been super-attracted to, but with Bridgerton-mania in full swing, I would like to add some items to my mostly-non-existent Regency costume closet. Ackermann’s Repository, Evening Dress, March 1814.  These pieces shall be… A basic white cotton evening gown A contrasting evening over-bodice A redingote/pelisse A day dress A wrapper or short gown Millinery – a fluffy cap, ruffled chemisette, and fur tippet I am not completely devoid of some pieces already.

1780s Embroidered Italian Gown – Skirts and Sleeves

  In  the first pos t on this project, I constructed the bodice front and back. Now it’s time for skirts – the fun part – and sleeves – the evil part. Skirts first. My fabric was blessedly 60 inches wide, so I used two panels with the seam down the center back. I went for the smallest pleats I could, though honestly I’ve never been able to achieve those really tiny 1/4 inch ones, and I actually don’t think I even had enough fabric in the skirt to do so. An attempt at really small pleats I don’t think I had enough fabric in my skirt, even at 120″, to do those 1/4″ pleats so I ended up at about 3/8″ to 1/2″. My favorite thing about Italian gowns is how messy they are in the waist. You just turn up the bodice bottom edge, slap it on over the skirt, and stitch it on. The secret is to then split the center back of the skirt under the point and fold it down. This makes the skirt lay nicely around the deep V. Turn up and baste the bodice waist edge and slap it on straight over the pleated ski
