Mary Reed said... So, you would recommend this over the McCall's pattern for Civil War era men's coat? We do reenactments and my husband wants a frock coat. I bought the McCall's, but after your review, I 'm not certain I will use it.
Thanks for the two reviews. They come just in time to help me make a decision! 5/5/09 10:11 PM

Nikki S. said... Mary - they are in reality two very different coats. If you are looking for *literally* a civil war coat, I would look for a different one than McCall, although I admit I do not know if such a thing exists. The McCall coat was MUCH harder in comparison to this one, which is supposed to be street clothes rather than a costume! 5/6/09 8:57 AM

crisford said... Thanks! The coat looks great! I'll be using these costume-making tips. Very clever ideas! 5/6/09 12:01 PM
MagpieJen said... Wonderfully done (like all these costumes you've reviewed)! The cast looks great! Thank you for another really helpful review. Do I spy a Sense and Sensibility 1910s tea gown pattern in the photo with the gentlemen? 5/6/09 3:44 PM

Nikki S. said... MagPie Jen - you do! Although my co-Costume Mistress made that dress, not me, so she's going to review it. 5/6/09 6:44 PM
