Thank you Janet for the information about the new book.
It is quite easy to find! Amazon has it, Abebooks has it and so does my
local bookshop.
Just ordered it, sounds very interesting, my interests are about 1790
and up (until 1918).
Especially the section about flossing sounds interesting.
Regards,
Manon Antoinette

Yesterday I got a "review" copy of a brand-new book called "Corsets:
Historical Patterns and Techniques". It looks like a great resource for
those with interests between 1750 and 1917. (Unfortunately, I don't care
about anything after 1650!)

Who's the author? And do you mind if I forward this to a couple of my
corset groups?

The author's name is Jill Salen and it's published by Quite Specific Media,
which may make it hard to find. I've dealt with them because they are also
the U.S. publisher for "The Medieval Tailor's Assistant" and "The Tudor
Tailor" but most bookstores don't carry their stuff.
Of course you may forward the e-mails.

I've ordered direct from QSM before and they are a pleasure to deal
with. Most of their books are worth buying sight unseen.
I see they are expecting Patterns of Fashion 3 to be available in just a
couple weeks now.

My copy came yesterday. This is a great book! Some interesting patterns, on
a grid. And some "projects": a hand made 18th century jumps and a machine
made "girl's" 19th century corset....with instructions. Even some doll corsets.
And some techniques explained. Each corset has a photo, a front/back "spread
sheet", the pattern laid out on a grid and some details, like embroidery.
