1 review for Patterns of Fashion 1818-23 Pelisse from Gloucester Museum
Rated 4 out of 5

I used the bodice pieces to make this as a Spenser. The amount of hand-work is staggering. If you attempt this, do not put any time constraints on yourself. It’s taken me a long time (I’m still not quite done). I cannot imagine doing all this hand-work around the hem for the Pelisse. Neither the scaling nor the construction are difficult — it’s all about the trimming which is all done by hand. I’ve had several starts and stops struggling with different approaches.
