loving everyone’s work
my favorite grouping was the historical one. it is on my bucket list to make at least one historical outfit. couple of questions please. below the pictures is a listing of what patterns have been used. i found Truly Victorian fairly easy. the other is Mimi. i couldnt find anything about it. is that another pattern maker? the last question is what level of sewing does one need for most of the historical patterns? at least intermediate? thank you.
Hi Jennifer, this is Paige from Very Paige. Truly Victorian is pretty much the gold standard for Victorian clothing. I’ve never heard of mimi either though. Laughing moon has great patterns for the 18th century to early 1900’s. My favorite patterns for 18th century though are JP Ryan and Larkin and Smith. Historical sewing isn’t all to different from modern sewing. The most important thing is to have the correct foundation garments, because it’ll change the shape of your body and your measurements. The shape created by my 18th century stays (like a corset) actually increase my waist measurement. Depending on how accurate you’d like to be, there’s anywhere from completely hand sewn to finishing hand sewing. So you’ll need to brush up on your hand stitching. My 18th century ensemble in that photo is completly hand sewn.
Mimi is the woman who sewed the Victorian ensembles. Just as it’s labeled “by Very Paige”, it says: “by Mimi.”
We are a stunning group of really really talented people!
