Description

The Costume Maker's Companion provides expert guidance for those seeking to create authentic historical costumes. This comprehensive guide covers key styles and fashions from six British historical periods, including Medieval, Tudor, Jacobean, Restoration, Regency, and Victorian eras. Through step-by-step tutorials and detailed instructions, readers will learn the skills needed to construct eight popular garments, from design to finished piece. The book also explores working with a costume designer, key processes and equipment, flat pattern manipulations, and making accessories such as gauntlets, corsets, and ruffs. With over 400 photographs, sketches, and diagrams, this resource will help develop the confidence of any costume maker to take on new projects. By logically dividing its content by historical period, The Costume Maker's Companion offers a valuable tool for novice and experienced makers alike.
