Product Description

Sewing Pattern - Women's Italian Renaissance Gowns, c. 1470-1505. provides patterns for 7 gowns & 1 tabard (sizes 8-18). Two have split skirts. underskirts, and stomachers, to fake an underdress. The underskirts and stomachers can be left off, replaced by a real underdress. Four of the gown patterns have sleeves that tie on. The Renaissance of the 15th and 16th centuries began in politically splintered Italy. The age was humanistic, like the people themselves; the clothing was individualistic, competitive, and even playful. While there were broad similarities, regional variations were the norm. Fashion for woman changed radically after 1460. Evolving from the houpelande (PP26), the bodice was cut separately from the skirt, above the natural waist, and became tight fitting. Skirts could be gathered or pleated or neither. They were often split in front to show the skirt of a sleeveless underdress, which could also show under a V-neck. The chemise (PP90) decorated or not, also often showed at the neck. The sleeves could be slashed to show the chemise sleeve, and were often laced or tied to the bodice, rather than sewn on. This allowed different sets of sleeves to be worn with one gown. A sleeveless tabard was occasionally worn over the gown. This pattern goes well with PP90, PP92 and PP93.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pattern ease of use June 10, 2012

By Debbie S

I have owned this pattern for a while. I do not like it. The instruction are horrible. The amount of fabric you waste is absolutely a sin. I am reselling mine in it's pristine state. I dislike all of these patterns for the same reasons. I purchased a few different ones. I have used only one and will be selling all the others. Period clothing construction did not waste fabric - if this simple fact was so glaringly disregarded, I don't have much faith in the authenticity. Regarding the instructions- I have decades of sewing experience. I have taken the instructions out several times and put them away after not making any sense. At this point it would be easier to draft a pattern and follow instructions from the Internet. Shame on you.
