Description
Looking for inspiration to recreate historical style? Classic Fashion Patterns of the 20th century by Anne Tyrrell is an English-language specialist book for anyone interested in pattern drafting, fashion history and reconstructing clothing from the 20th century.
Fashion history you can work from
Each chapter explores a different decade of the 20th century, using surviving garments, period tailoring books and historical patterns as the starting point. You get detailed insight into the silhouettes, distinguishing details, underwear and accessories of the time. Featured looks include wartime uniforms, a 1930s evening gown, a Teddy Boy outfit and a 1960s maxi coat.
What makes this title especially useful is the inclusion of scale patterns for every outfit shown. These are supported by clear making-up notes and a grid for enlarging the pattern pieces. That makes the book more than a source of ideas: it is a practical working book for anyone who wants to bring period dress to life.
Ideal for ambitious sewing projects
Classic Fashion Patterns of the 20th century is particularly suited to experienced home sewists, costume designers, fashion professionals and anyone who wants to recreate clothing with an authentic historical character. Whether you are planning a film costume, a theatre costume or looking for ideas for a collection, this book offers both creative inspiration and technical guidance.
If you like to think about fabric, cut and construction in a historical context, you will find this a compact and useful reference. The combination of images, background information and patterns makes it a strong addition to any sewing library, especially when you are choosing fabric by the metre, matching materials and authentic details with care.
