I use a Tajima Neo, which is a whole bigger beast but it is possible to do
edging. It is much easier to hoop the fabric before an item is made than do
edges on a finished item. You can use underlay to make up the difference in

Okay, folks, I may be getting a Steampunk urge, since a big event is right up
the road in May. I long ago wanted to do an 1870s bustle style and this seems
like a good opportunity. My question is, what pattern(s) do you all recommend
for an 1870s era bustle day outfit? I'm thinking bodice with

Personally, I swear by Truly Victorian Patterns. I have made a number of them
and they have always gone together easily and fit beautifully. They aren't as
cheap as the Big Ones, but they are worth every penny (and they aren't that
expensive either). http://www.trulyvictorian.com/ Just a
I really like the pattern put out by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin.
You get the bodice, skirt and overskirt in the same pattern. It makes up

Several of you recommended Truly Victorian, and I had already seen them on the
Great Pattern Review website. Any particular style or styles you found
preferable?

simple to make.

Thanks, both, for the specifics. That gives me a place to start. I do like the
look of the Truly Victorian bodice more than the Wisconsin Historical Society
one.

What part of the 1870s do you mean? The natural form of the later
1870s does include overskirts and yes, even bustles, but it is overall a
narrower silhouette than that of the early and mid 1870s.
I put many patterns for the late 1860s in my book Reconstruction Era

I mean early 1870s, and sorry, Fran, but I don't want to go to all the work of

I made an early 1870 outfit for a client out of Truly Victorian
patterns, they worked pretty well, I had to alter the length greatly
but she was almost 6 ft tallI did find the instructions to be
lacking in detail though.
(the outfit she wanted was 1873 or 74):

Yeah, what she said. SHS Wisconsin does a great job with their
research which I know is an important factor to you despite the
