It sounds like it worked out quite ideally for you then. <br />I think the key is to have good measurements and photos. The positives of having a pattern with the correct proportions and seamlines etc is invaluable, and really not many people understand it.<br />This does give me food for thought!Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192103872756970288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470691509282789478.post-4845115855102147152014-01-02T19:34:08.695-05:002014-01-02T19:34:08.695-05:00I ordered a formal tailcoat circa 1895 pattern, a ...I ordered a formal tailcoat circa 1895 pattern, a men's 1820's (day) tailcoat and breeches, and a men's late Georgian 3 pc suit. All came out extremely well in each case, as I knew the cutter/draper very well, and understood her exceptional talent in men's period drafting. I provided her with detailed measurements of the actor(s) and send them to her. Once I got the patterns, IMatt Nunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145432082330911251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470691509282789478.post-60787048219040540102014-01-02T12:25:57.005-05:002014-01-02T12:25:57.005-05:00thanks for the positive feedback!

I can't count the times I've hired out tailors/drapers in the theatre business to do a simple pattern "draft" for me because of time restraints OR because I trusted their eye a little bit better than mine for the particular draft. I think your eye and skill (esp. in menswear) would be INVALUABLE to everyone if it were onMatt Nunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145432082330911251noreply@blogger.com
