18th Century Mantle Bundle Paper Pattern || #2202-2204

Difficulty: Intermediate   

Be fashionably wrapped up from 1740 to 1810 with all three of our gorgeous 18th century mantle patterns!  From the darling Marie (1740-1779), to the chic Charlotte (1770-1795), to the dramatic Sophia (1775-1810), these three patterns will elevate all your 18th century costuming ensembles, be the perfect addition to your cosplay, and add a fun historybounding touch to your modern wardrobe.

With all three patterns you'll have 6 different body views, and instructions for:

• Lined or unlined mantles.
• Hooded and hoodless versions.
• Interlining for extra-warm mantles.
• Three hood styles: the small Marie with star pleating, the medium Charlotte with fan pleating, and the extravagantly large Sophia with hem pleating.
• Working with lace to imitate the look of handmade lace 18th century mantles.
• Almost every possible type of mantle trimming: pinked trim, hemmed trim, ruffled trim, pleated trim, lace, purchased fringe as well as self-made fringe, marabou, and faux fur. 

Mix and match hood pleating, linings, trims, and fnishes between patterns for a practically limitless array of choices.  

Like all Scroop + Virgil's Fine Goods patterns, these pattern includes detailed user-friendly instructions for making the mantles using historical techniques, as well as extensive additional historical information about the fabrics, notions and techniques used.
