Eighteenth Century Women’s Dress: Techniques and Patterns features patterns drawn from twenty-seven extant eighteenth-century women’s garments in museum collections, with a focus on Anglo-American and French styles.

The styles explored in this book illustrate the full variety of women’s clothing of the period, ranging from foundation garments and casual chemise gowns to sumptuous robes à la française. These patterns broaden the scholarly understanding of fashion history in the period by adding to the total of the canon of garments deconstructed on paper. Each pattern is accompanied by full-color photos or detailed drawings of the garments, many of which have never or rarely been displayed, and by instructions for creating reproductions of them.

Eighteenth Century Women’s Dress is written for theatrical and film costumers, dress historians, amateur costumers, and reenactors.
