Sewing a 17th Century Dress from Patterns of Fashion - 1650s Historical Sewing (Part 1)

This is Part 1 of of a series about sewing a mid-17th Century ensemble that consists of a petticoat and jacket.

In Part 1 I make a matching petticoat and start creating the pattern for the bodice. Part 2 will show the making of the bodice.

It is based off an original jacket shown in Patterns of Fashion 5 (which is available here: https://shop.theschoolofhistoricaldress.org.uk/product-category/books/?v=79cba1185463 )

My fabric is a vintage piece from Penny River Costumes: https://www.instagram.com/pennyrivercostumes/?hl=en

The metallic trim is from Renaissance Fabrics: https://www.renaissancefabrics.net/
