Re: [h-cost] pattern for Civil War Era coat
These were interesting, but I think what appeals to me more would be an 1861 paletot, which I have in Civil War LAdies: Fashions and needle Arts of the Early 1860's which is all from Petersen's MAgazines. I like the shape better although I will have to scale down the sleeves. Wish they had the patterns for it in there, even though I would have to mock it all up. I assume that a winter coat would be made of wool with a lining?

Re: [h-cost] pattern for Civil War Era coat
I was just going thru my collection of Harper's Bazaar issues from 1868-71. There are several issues with full sized patterns for cloaks, hoods, wraps paletots. I was planning on putting the journals out for sale at Stanford Historic Dance Week (next week). If you dont mind being a smidge fashion forward, you cant get a better pattern than the real thing. I have about a dozen journals. At least 3 have full pattern sheets for as many as 8 garments. One issue focuses specifically on outwear.

Re: [h-cost] pattern for Civil War Era coat
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?

Re: [h-cost] pattern for Civil War Era coat
I put 350 patterns in my book _Reconstruction Era Fashions: 350 Sewing, Needlework, and Millinery Patterns 1867-1868_. (The first year of _Harper's Bazar_ plus some; they started publication in the fall of 1867.) The overlapping patterns have been separated out from the pattern sheets and scaled down. All the related fashion plates and instructions are included. All the sewing patterns for women (that are of any significance) published during this period, are included in the book.
