The Charlotte Mantle is a gorgeous way to keep warm and add an elegant layer to your late 18th century costumes, and is an equally fun accessory for modern outfits. This chic mantle is based on images and extant examples of fashionable mantles worn in the last three decades of the 18th century. Similar mantles were worn by less fashionable women well into the 19th century.

View A is a longer mantle with short wide lappets.

View B is a shorter mantle with long narrow lappets.

Both views can be made with or without a medium sized hood with fan pleating which creates fullness at the back of the hood.

The Charlotte can be made lined or unlined. The pattern includes instructions for a pleated trim.

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

Want more mantles? The Charlotte also comes in a combined pattern with our other 18th century mantle patterns, the Marie and the Sophia. Get all three patterns for the price of two! Click here to go to the combined pattern .
