I’m in the beginning stages of a steampunk outfit for my boyfriend. I’ve bought McCall’s 4745 http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m4745-products-7030.php as a starting point. I’m looking for some information on a slightly more historically accurate way of constructing it than the standard modern costume method with fusible interfacing etc.
Does anybody know of a resource (preferably online but I can try to obtain books through the library) on historical tailoring techniques or modern high end tailoring (e.g. accurate interfacing techniques etc.). Although the outfit doesn’t have to be historically accurate I don’t want to spend time on a cheap & nasty substitute when I could spend the same time on a good outfit that will look good & last for a long time. thanks Elizabeth -- ------------------------------------------ Elizabeth Walpole http://magpiecostumer.wordpress.com/ http://magpiecostumer.110mb.com/ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
