Before you begin

Made to your measurements

This pattern is drafted to your own measurements. You will be asked for:

Coats and Waistcoats

  • Chest
  • Sleeve Length - Historical

    Hold the arm horizontally to the side and bend the elbow to 90 degrees. Measure from the back of the arm just at the armpit or armscye seam, to the elbow, continuing to the cuff.

Sleeves

  • Armscye Optional — the pattern has its own fallback

    Take this measurement around the full armscye of the pattern, following the actual seamline not the edge of the cloth.

  • Front Sleeve Curve Optional — the pattern has its own fallback

    The depth of the front curve, useful for getting deeper curves for earlier time periods. Default is 1" - I wouldn't go more than 2"

  • Elbow Optional — the pattern has its own fallback

    Measure the full circumference of the elbow. Larger widths will give more of that classic shape of the 1860s.

  • Cuff Optional — the pattern has its own fallback

    Full circumference of the sleeve cuff.
