​Suitable for years 1560 through 1600 and perfect for beginners, this package will do for the middle- and lower-classes what the Elizabethan Lady's Ensemble did for the noblewomen -- in short, this set provides top-quality patterns, thoroughly researched and documented, in a single, comprehensive package. No more buying separate patterns for each piece.
Who needs this pattern? If you portray the thousands of Renaissance housewives, young girls, and widowed women of the village, town or city. The ale wenches, shop-women, herbalists, blacksmith's wives, midwives, chambermaids, farmers' wives, and many others. Until now you were left without a high-standard, historically accurate option. No more -- now you have a more authentic option.
The patterns are multi-sized from 2 to 28.
In addition, the package comes with extensive instructions: 90 pages of fully illustrated text, 3-hole punched for insertion in a binder. This includes instruction in advanced sewing and costuming techniques, appendices, sizing and measuring charts, a detailed bibliography, and an attractive cover insert.
