This 2 ½ day workshop, led by Samantha Bullat, will include:
-An examination of images of spencers/pelisses during this period that chart the evolution of styles.
-Demonstration of drafting sleeve patterns based on period methods.
-Demonstration of all stitching & construction techniques needed to hand stitch and finish the garment.
-Demonstration of making common trim styles.
-Participants working with a partner to fit their garment.
Due to time restraints, participants are required to bring with them previously cut and fit 1800-25 bodice lining shapes in muslin. These shapes will be used to cut the lining for the gown incorporating any adjustments to achieve the desired silhouette. The spencer/pelisse will then be built upon this lining. Suggestions for patterns with which to start will be included in the expectations & supplies list.
A 19th century shift/chemise, under-petticoat, a well-fitted 1800-25 corset, and an 1800-25 gown (if spencer/pelisse will be worn over a gown) are required for this class in order to properly fit your spencer/pelisse.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have their spencer/pelisse well under construction, and will have the knowledge to complete it on their own. Please be prepared for “homework” on both Friday and Saturday nights!
This workshop is an ADVANCED LEVEL 3. Participants are expected to have solid hand sewing skills and experience in creating other early 19th century dresses using a pattern or from a previous workshop. As such, all those interested in this workshop must fill out a pre-approval form and be accepted to join the class.
Workshop cost of $ 325* includes: 2 1/2 day workshop and muslin for fittings.
Class size will be limited to 12 Participants
