Simplicity 8161 Women's 18th Century Dress Historical Costume Sewing Pattern, Sizes 14-22

It is exactly the pattern I need for a costume this summer.

Pattern was just like new! None of the pattern tissue was cut (or even opened by the looks of it), just as described. Would happily purchase from this seller again.

I highly recommend making a muslin version before cutting your fabric and lining. Make sure to mark the sleeves and bodice very well. I added more boning to the bodice to make it like a corset

Period, cos-play.

Easy to follow directions, thank you American Dutchess!

Haven’t made it yet

I liked this pattern. I am an experienced amateur seamstress. Made a very nice Halloween 18th century "suit" for my sister (she did not like wearing the stomacher, but the bodice works just fine worn over a white tuxedo blouse. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because the instructions weren't particularly clear, in my opinion, and this might prove challenging for a less-experienced seamstress. (Maybe I just did not understand them very well, it has happened before.)

exactly as described.
