Les Modes (Paris) October 1909 redingote de promenade par Cauet
As promised, a post outlining the construction of the 1780s mint wool redingote I made at the end of last year. I largely used the 1/8 scale pattern of this mid-1780s redingote published online by LACMA as part of their pattern project, which is free to download here! My fabric was a delicious suiting weight mint…
This time of year we start to dream about spring, but until then we all need something to keep us warm. And whats better then some nice woolen overdresses and redingotes.
Earlier this year Kendra and I found out that we had both planned a redingote after a sketch of Marie-Antoinette for this year. I had ori...

Voici les explications du manteau redingote (patron pour les Chéries N°4) qui convient également pour les Little Darling de Dianna Effner ou les minoucehs de Sylvia Natterer.. Il est selon moi, assez facile à réaliser. 1. Plier le tissu en deux, endroit...
If you've been reading my blog, you'll know that I recently undertook the making of a 1790s redingote inspired by the famous example held in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. If you aren't familiar with this project, I suggest you look here (part one), here (part two), here (part three), or here (part four).…
Photographie sans revers, photographe inconnu.
De plus en plus, les recherches en mode masculine et les préférences d'achat des consommateurs s'orientent vers ce que l'on appelle communément le sportswear. Quasiment toutes les bonnes marques de costumes proposent maintenant des vestes de sport à tendance parka ou blouson, avec des emmanchures italiennes rabattues, des hybridations avec des parmentures zippées camouflées. Ce…
As promised, today I have the photos of my 18th century redingote ensemble to share! If you missed them, the blog posts about constructing this dress can be found here, and here. For the fourth year in a row I went to the local pumpkin patch to photograph my newest piece. I really love this…
Redingote, c. 1790, LACMA M2009.120 Friends, I haven't wanted to sew for awhile. Burn-out is a real thing, especially failing miserably on the last two 18th century gowns I tried to make (the irony). So I'm giving myself a break (in France) and letting the inspiration

Apologies for the super long post - but there was a lot of different things that went into making this dress. We decided last year while I was four months pregnant, that we would go to the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra to hear Mozart in costume. We all agreed to make 1780's outfits, even though…

This week on Costume Analytics we will take a trip across the Pond and look at a snazzy American fashion, depicted in Ralph Earl's 1791 portrait of Mrs. William Moseley. This is a fascinating portrait because it not only depicts a Not-French and Not-English ensemble, but

I’m deep, deep in 1780s stay madness at the moment, so it’s probably not a huge surprise that I’ve picked something on-theme. And I’m always in favour of yellow, so yellow it is. Last week: a red velvet Edwardian frock with a hint of pinaforeness After the silence of the week before, there were so many comments on the pinafore dress. I must admit, I was quite surprised at how popular it was. I guess the pinafore look is in historically as well! The Total: 8.7 out of 10 And many, many thanks to Cynthia Amneus of the Cincinnati Art Museum, who weighed in with additional information on the dress in the comments. This week: a yellow silk 1780s redingote This 1780s redingote is a wonderful example of the variation in garments seen in the last quarter of the 18th century. It features a fitted bodice, front fastening, with slim, curved 3/4 sleeves, a wide double collar with decorative reverse-scalloped edging, and a cutaway front (the so-called zone-front). The photographs are not clear enough …
