At this point, the whole dress can be laid out flat and painted or decorated as desired. Stitch final Back seam. Stitch shoulders and top seams of sleeves from neck edge to wrist. Apply Yokes, as directed in Step Two of original pattern. Liz has also modified the pattern to insert a front zipper, for ease of dressing.

Steampunk dress, corset and chemise costume "The Alchemists daughter" 1. Dress with detachable sleeves. Slim fit bodice of the dress emphasizes breast and waist while wide skirt with 4 additional gussets drapes with soft pleats. All this combines into well-known medieval silhouette of the XIII-XIV centuries. There is no trim on this dress but there are contrast color accents at bottom, sleeves and neck. You can choose dress color in dropping menu, sleeves and accens are green by default. Model wears wine red color dress. 2. Chemise is made of thin natural linen. It is loose and fluent. Chemise is made of thin softened linen so you may wear any kind of dress over it - thin fabric will not roughen overdress silhouette. Comes in white color by default. 3. Corset made of natural suede. This bodice has been designed specially for our fantasy dress costumes. Its design is half based on patterns and decorations of European renaissance corset and half on later period German and French bodices. This corset has easily recognizable slope shoulder line and stand-up half-collar. Waist is tightly swifted while breast remains almost free. Front lacing gives necessary flexibility and fine fit. Decorative rolled edges laced along bottom and arm-slits complete the look. Comes in green color by default. This corset can't be custom-sized remotely, so it comes in fixed sizes: S, M, L, XL. Length of the corset is always the same, it is not linked to the size. We do not recommend this corset for girls shorter than 5' 2" (158 cm). The main guideline in selecting the corset size is waist circumference. If your measurements are at the lower boundary of any size - it's preferable to choose a smaller size.

Kraków costume - one of the most well-known of the Polish regional costumes, which grew to the rank of a national costume. Sadly, also the most generalized and simplified due to the modern mass-media approach in many cases. How should it look like? © ZPiT AGH im. Wiesława Białowąsa "KRAKUS" Origins of the Kraków costume can be traced back to the Renaissance era, but the modern version of it started forming only around the beginning of 18th century. After the difficult times of the 19th century when Poland lost independence it gained the rank of "national costume of Poland": A Cracow costume is the only peasants' attire which was promoted to the rank of a Polish national costume. This decision was made on patriotic grounds, with the Cracow's peasants’ participation in the Kościuszko Uprising as a main factor. Even the Uprising's leader, Tadeusz Kościuszko, used to wear the Cracow costume (so he dressed "like a peasant") just so that he would not be recognised by Russian spies. Kościuszko's popularity contributed to the popularisation of the Cracow costume among the Poles in general. Some of the costume's elements were applied to the uniforms worn by participants of the 19th century national uprisings. This popularity of the Cracowian costume, especially in its female version, was then reinforced by the Cracow’s intelligence of the Young Poland (Młoda Polska) movement, who promoted it as a new fashion. [source: The State Ethnographical Museum in Warsaw] What most of the people know as "Kraków costume" actually varies among different villages (which in some cases have become districts of the modern city over time) around the Kraków's old center, such as: Bronowice, Tyniec, Grojec, Wieliczka, Morawica, Olszanica, and so on. However, there are many common elements that make the Kraków costume easy to recognize... and also easy to generalize. Either way, the Kraków costume allows to show a lot of individual approach in detailing, especially as it comes to women's fashion. Approx. area of the Kraków costume in Poland within Małopolska region. COSTUME: MEN One of the most characteristic, with a peacock feather being the main decoration of the headwear: Kraków costumes © ZPiT AGH im. Wiesława Białowąsa "KRAKUS" Decoration of the headwear could also include a rich decoration made of several peacock feathers, flowers and additional ribbons, as in this example from Bronowice (nowadays a district of Kraków): Kraków headwear © perfekt.krakow.pl ...or here, picture from Korzkiew: Kraków headwear © wiele16 via garnek.pl Traditionally, such rich headwear decorations were reserved for the groom on his wedding day, but could also be worn by more important figures during festive days. There are several different types of the headwear itself (like the black żeleźniak on the picture from Bronowice above), but the most popular is red rogatywka (peaked, four-pointed cap) with short peacock feathers and black or white fur, sometimes called krakuska: Rogatywka type of headwear © bopalinska Why the peacock feather? It could be explained in many ways, from it being an ancient symbol of rebirth and immortality (popular symbol on the medieval religious paintings), to the uniqueness of the peacocks - they were considered "royal" birds, therefore worn by the Cracovians to remind that the city used to be the royal capital of Poland in the past. Next important element of the costumes is kaftan - a long sleeveless vest, usually in a dark blue, navy blue, sometimes black color and heavily decorated with red chwosty (tassels), beads and subtle embroidery. Here's the most typical version: Kaftan from Kraków © perfekt.krakow.pl A group of men in blue kaftan with and red rogatywka: © Dariusz.Biegacz There's another type of the vest - in a cobalt blue color with additional rich embroidery. It is popular in Kraków nowadays, but in fact (historically speaking) it was typical rather for the Kraków East costume associated with e.g. Brzesko or Zalipie regions (Kraków East will be a topic of a separated post). Here are examples of it worn by a group from Nowa Huta district of modern Kraków: © Zespół Pieśni i Tańca NOWA HUTA Next typical element is a coat called sukmana, obviously worn during the colder days. It's usually white or gray (but dark blue ones are popular as well), traditionally lined inside with red material and decorated with red embroidery, tassels and metal elements as shown below: © perfekt.krakow.pl Another, more minimalistic example from the 19th century: © kedil via garnek.pl Here's a good guide to various examples of men coats from different Kraków regions: Various Kraków regions and costumes © MCK Sokół They aren't always that plain: © Zespół Tańca Ludowego "Harnam" Trousers - as it comes to the "typical" Kraków costume mandatory is white portki with red stripes (blue-striped are characteristic for the Kraków East region): Kraków trousers [source] The main decoration and pride of a Cracovian man was a leather belt (pas krakowski) worn over the vest (kaftan). The most common was white, ornamented and decorated with metal beads and hanging elements: Kraków belt © perfekt.krakow.pl COSTUMES: WOMEN Here's a good example of the easy-to-spot differences between the costumes of married and unmarried women: Lovely Cracovian women © ZPiT AGH im. Wiesława Białowąsa "KRAKUS" First of all - the flower wreath was worn by unmarried maidens only. The typical small "one-lined" wreaths were worn by chidren and young teens, while wreaths of the older (marriageable) girls could have a triangle "crown" shape as in the example below: Kraków wreath © perfekt.krakow.pl A perfect Cracovian maiden wears also a long braid tied with a red ribbon: © Zespół Pieśni i Tańca "Śląsk" im. Stanisława Hadyny On the day of the marriage bride's head was decorated with a tall flower crown with long flowery-ornamented laces. The crown's shape could vary, usually it was built out of red or white flowers: Bride from Kraków © Krakowski Teatr Scena Stu Married women were covering their heads with white cloth that symbolized modesty. It looks plain at the first sight (from a distance), but in fact was beautifully ornamented: © Zespół Pieśni i Tańca "Śląsk" im. Stanisława Hadyny © Zespół Pieśni i Tańca "Śląsk" im. Stanisława Hadyny Colorful headkerchiefs with floral ornaments were popular as well in some villages. Main element of maiden's clothing was a richly decorated bodice (gorset) worn over a white blouse. Bodice's decorations were varying between different villages around Kraków - some preferred floral, some geometrical shapes. Here's the most popular example from Bronowice - the north-western district of modern Kraków (which was a neighbouring village just 100 years ago), commonly known as the typical Kraków costume's place of origin: Kraków bodices © Polskie Stroje Ludowe ...here from Tyniec, a bit south-west from the Kraków centre: © perfekt.krakow.pl ...here from Ojców, north from Kraków: © perfekt.krakow.pl ...and here from Grojec-Alwernia, located north-western from Kraków and being rather distinguished as Kraków West costume (in Polish: strój krakowiaków zachodnich): © perfekt.krakow.pl Below is a closeup of a beautiful bodice decorated with natural corals and metal clasps from "Rydlówka" Museum in Bronowice, coming from the early 20th century: Bodice of Jadwiga Rydlowa, early 20th century © Rydlówka Very characteristic and richly decorated element of female clothing is also the jacket called katanka (plural form: katanki), beloved by the artists and often depicted on the 19th and early 20th century paintings. They were rather worn by married women. Varying in colors a lot, they were always beautifully embroidered and decorated with beads, natural corals, sequins and tassels according to a certain pattern: Kraków katanka, front and back view © perfekt.krakow.pl © perfekt.krakow.pl The sleeves of katanka were always heavily decorated up to the elbow, the lace is part of the blouse worn underneath: © Zespół Pieśni i Tańca "Śląsk" im. Stanisława Hadyny Great side view of katanka: © Zespół Pieśni i Tańca "Śląsk" im. Stanisława Hadyny Blouses worn by Cracovians were white (symbol of purity and modesty), decorated with white ornaments around the collar and cuffs (sometimes also at the bottom of the blouse), very often with additional laces. Below's an example from the Ethnographic Museum of Kraków: © Muzeum Etnograficzne im. Seweryna Udzieli w Krakowie Another, modern example with tatted collar and cuffs: © Polskie Stroje Ludowe Beautiful detailing of the collar and cuffs over katanka: © Zespół Folklorystyczny Wielopolanie Modern and currently the most common machine-made ornaments: © Zespół Pieśni i Tańca UJ SŁOWIANKI Skirts of Cracovian women were very colorful, usually made of the so-called "Tibetan" material (Tybet) with various floral patterns. The most common for Kraków would be those on black or red background, although there isn't any rule in that particular matter: Examples of the so-called "Tibetan" material [source] Aprons were worn over the skirt (fartuch or fartuszek). Young maidens often preferred very detailed ones, made of tulle and laces (semi-transparent): © perfekt.krakow.pl Other examples of hand-made embroidery on a tulle apron: © perfekt.krakow.pl Married women were rather wearing white cotton aprons (sometimes called zapaska), which also were decorated with subtle white embroidery: © perfekt.krakow.pl Children's apron [source] Cracovian women weren't using much jewellery (the bodice was their main decoration), the most desirable pieces were red coral necklaces (korale), traditionally decorated with a holy medallion. Here I'm heavily disappointed, as great majority of the modern examples are inadequate, therefore I'll illustrate how should it look like with an old painting: Piotr Stachiewicz "Krakowianka", pic. © AgraArt Example of traditional korale: [source] RESOURCES: PATTERNS --- This article might be supplemented in the future.

Misses 6-16. The tango craze of the 'teens and twenties of the 20th century regularly enjoys a revival. The dramatic dips and thrusts of the dance called for gowns that emphasized leg and back. Dating from the 1920s, our authentic evening version, View B, does this perfectly and flatters most figures. Our daytime version, View A, retains the body-skimming bodice and bias cut skirt, omitting the back cutout and streamers and uneven hemline. The long lines of our Cardigan Sweater make a perfect complement for the Tango Dress! The unusual construction for the Tango Dress adds to its dramatic impact. A long sleeveless bodice hangs straight to the hips where it meets the skirt made of two uniquely cut sections. The back of the skirt falls away from a front hip panel that echoes the V neckline. another shallow V hugs the body at the bodice/skirt seam in the back. The skirt front fits into the back and hip panel ingeniously. In View B, another V is cut out on the back bodice, further emphasized by two triangular-shaped streamers, and the handkerchief hemline draws attention to the legs. Both day and night versions are finished by a rolled collar ending in front ties. Complete knitting instructions are included for the coordinating hip-length cardigan in stockinette stitch. It can be a daytime cover-up for summer picnics or can shimmer at night when knitted with novelty metallics. Suggested fabrics: Lightweight fabrics with drape, such as silk or polyester satin, charmeuse, crepe, challis, lightweight linen or cotton. Yardage chart (.pdf) Note/Correction: The largest skirt size for View A needs to be cut from fabric that is at least 48" wide for the largest 2 sizes.

“From the fury of the Northmen deliver us, O Lord.” Viking Tunic “Bjorn the Pathfinder” Cotton tunic with North Europe style trim Simple but not so simple. Tunic is a very classic early medieval clothing and probably one of the most known ancient clothing pieces at all. Instead of using classic and simple T-shape pattern, we developed this tunic based on less known, but more comfortable Kragelund Mose tunic design (this pattern is known by Norman tunic found on a body in a Danish bog at Kragelund Mose). In accordance to the original it has both back and front slits and its sleeve design provides better fit and more flexibility for arms. We also designed original trim for our Viking collection. So, this tunic is definitely one of the best "simple tunics" you can find on market. To check how to measure yourself please click here. Please contact us if you have any additional questions.
