So I just want to know, what is everyone’s favorite pattern(s) to use for period costuming. (Post yours in the comment section please!)

1) Period (examples: Medieval, Tudor, Elizabethan, 18th C-Early, 18th C-Rev War, Victorian…)

2) Pattern (company name, designation, view. Examples: Simplicity 9633 viewB -Doublet, Margo’s Patterns Tudor Lady’s Wardrobe Kirtle and Gown with square sleeves, Drea Lee’ds Elizabethan Costuming page Corset Generator with boned tabs)

3) Why (I started using the simplicity pattern before Margo came out with hers and it’s made for big guys which is nice, and has both Tudor and Elizabethan views which can be fairly easily adapted to a more period cut. I can’t wait to use my Tudor Margo now that I have my duct tape dress form finished. The corset generator always works well for me, or even the manual one, but I’ll never wear a renaissance corset without tabs, it digs in my hips and hurts.)
