Synopsis
Many people involved in activities where stage and historic costumes are required, believe that the making of these costumes is such a highly skilled art as to place it beyond the scope of the average needlewoman. This book makes it clear that in fact there are few special difficulties and that the amateur can easily construct the most elaborate-looking costumes. The author explains clearly how costumes needed to dress any production from Saxon times to the nineteen-thirties can be made up simply and cheaply from quite simple basic patterns. Her diagrams follow the conventions of modern pattern layouts, with average measurements clearly laid out for the needlewoman with no experience of pattern-making. There is a chapter on the construction of farthingales, hoops, crinolines and bustles, and advice is also given on stripping and dyeing materials. Theatrical, drama and handicraft groups will welcome this book for the practical information it contains, and anyone who follows its advice consistently and methodically will soon qualify as a highly efficient wardrobe mistress.
