Assembled from vintage issues of Peterson's Magazine, a popular nineteenth-century "ladies" periodical that premiered in 1842, here is an authentic gallery of Civil War-era clothing patterns for women, children, and men. The author of many books on historic fashion, Seleshanko has compiled this new, original volume of wonderfully usable antique garment designs to delight costume designers, historians, Civil War reconstructionists, and antiques collectors alike!
During the 1860s, the Civil War left Americans with shortages of all kinds — including clothing resources. Peterson's pattern diagrams were of enormous help to women who no longer had the opportunity to purchase their clothing abroad or visit their local dressmaker. This one-of-a-kind collection showcases sixty historically accurate nineteenth-century garment designs. Included are a Chemise, the Madeline Wrapper, and a Polonaise Dinner Dress for ladies...a Knickerbocker Suit and Loose Jacket and Waistcoat for boys...and a Tunic and Cape and Basquine Dress for girls...and, for men, a handsome Smoking Cap. 60 patterns. Over 300 diagrams and illustrations.

"I love Civil War era clothes, so I was stoked to add this to my collection. It is a decent book, and came in perfect condition. However, the instructions are limited. This is not for the faint of heart or a newbie. The patterns are more conceptual than actual patterns and will need a lot of drafting and altering to fit a modern individual. The plates and the diagrams are well put together. It will be challenging, but fun to figure out eventually. I love this type of book in general, I have a couple of the Victorian books like this."

- I love Civil War era clothes, so I was stoked to add this to my collection. It is a decent book, and came in perfect condition. However, the instructions are limited. This is not for the faint of heart or a newbie. The patterns are more conceptual than actual patterns and will need a lot of drafting and altering to fit a modern individual. The plates and the diagrams are well put together. It will be challenging, but fun to figure out eventually. I love this type of book in general, I have a couple of the Victorian books like this.
- I bought this for my mother for her birthday.
She said, "It was more than expected. Has modern day measurements, not vintage 1/8in "nail" measurements. Nice variety of patterns for adult and children."
She said she almost never gives 5 stars so give it 4. I asked her why, why not, debated it with her, I said if it is good enough, give 5. She thought, said give 5. - This book has very nice designs for women, girls and boys. You must have a fairly sophisticated knowledge, however, of sewing and construction techniques, as the book only presents the pattern pieces and no instructions for their completion. Also, you must enlarge the patterns. As I make dolls, the patterns were perfect for my smaller dolls, and enlarging them a bit wasn't difficult. To enlarge them to people size would take considerably more skill! All in all, a useful reference and practical guide.
- I travel from year to year and lose patterns. This way they are always here in a book that is easy to access. It has directions and photos that make it easy to follow. it is the second book I've bought. My daughter used and kept the first one. We both make Civil War era dresses and find this one easy to adjust a pattern from.
- Best book-Christmas present ever.
- Awesome book for a re-enactor! I am sewing away
- better than i thought it would be---well worth the cost
- Great reference book
