Clothing Patterns

Patterns for men's and women's clothing from before 1600, from Reconstructing History of Easton, Pennsylvania, USA. They also carry many patterns for clothing from 1600 on; although we won't keep them in stock, we are quite willing to accept orders for those, of course.

"Founded in August 1997, Reconstructing History is one woman's dream to bring information on historic clothing to the public and make this data available worldwide. During the past nine years, our method for achieving this goal has changed. From selling replica clothing to sharing information on extant garments to writing instructions for beginners and posting dress diaries, Reconstructing History has grown and evolved. We hope with each change, we have helped more people understand historic clothing and able to reconstruct their own.

"Reconstructing History exists first and foremost to study historical clothing. This is why we can guarantee the historical accuracy of all our products. Although produced modernly, our clothing and accoutrements are as period appropriate as possible and we wouldn't sell them to you otherwise."
