Just need to know--was the basic shape still the same? Pretty much fitted around the torso then flaring out? What kind of sleeves? If the shape is basicallyt he same, I would be interested, although I have no idea what it would be worth. What were you hoping to get for it? I am used to getting old H Arper's MAgazine issues from the 1870's through 1890's very inexpensively, maybe anywhere from free to $5 per issue. Obviously the patterns would be totally awesome, to a ctually make a coat (as long as the shape would be the same as for early 1860's). Yes, I am very interested int eh outerwear one.
Also, and this may seem trivial, when doing buttonholes on teh dress bodice (and the coat), would the buttonholes more commonly be vertical or horizontal?
