    How elegant!

    A lot of those old time gowns are showing up with the current surge of interest in the old west. Places like www.wildwestmercantile.com and others have the gowns made up and patterns.

    Cynthia, surely you are going to use the whalebone corsets which would have been worn under them!

    Cynthia,
    Not trying to plug Netflix as I'm not wild about how they manage to delay shipments to control the flow even while advertising unlimited viewing, but they do have most of the Sherlocks by Brett and others. They also have a wonderful collection of other English series. The wife and I would love to have a boutique of nothing bu the Edwardian styles for men and women. There is just something about the styles and panache of that era that is unmatched by others. I would even love to find a source for either the men's patterns or premades.

    Well, not whalebone, but I do have a corset with steel boning that I made. I've got a lot of layers on under there

    Ohhh, thanks for that tip! I keep meaning to try something like Netflix, but we just haven't had a chance yet. I'll have to check into that when we do eventually sign up.

    I have a frock coat pattern as well as a shirt pattern (Laughing Moon Mercantile) for men, but I haven't made them yet and I can't remember what the eras covered are for them. I've purchased most of my patterns from a place called Truly Victorian (including the Laughing Moon patterns), but I'm sure there has to be other patterns out there for men's wear (if not, what a shame -- it's been a while since I've looked). Riverkilt is right that a lot of the wild west mercantile type places do carry the Victorian/Edwardian era style clothing although I think a lot of it seems to be more frontier-related and not as fancy as some of the drool-worthy styles I have seen in photos and fashion plates (of course, I'm sure items like that would cost a bundle to sell).

    I was also wondering what the cut of a jacket would be, style of collar and neckwear for a kilt (especially if most of it is already sitting in my patterns waiting to be made). I hope you can find some interesting information! I just love the look of the clothing and the accessories and to find some information for the kilt would be wonderful even if it is limited!
