18th Century European Bedgown - What The Red Herring | 18th century clothing, Century clothing, Historical clothing

Next up with my historical costuming adventure, a European bedgown, or Manteau de Lit. They are fantastically versatile, and much easier to make than the more fitted jackets from the 18th century, which required suiting up in all my underpinnings for fittings. I picked a golden ikat cotton fabric because it reminded me of the

Excels at Nothing: A Pumpkin-colored Bedgown | 18th century clothing, 18th century women, Century clothing

Sweet Daughter was ready for a new warm-weather garment for reenacting. So I went down to the sewing room and dug out the two Rubbermaid tubs labeled “Wool, 18th century” and started going through them, looking for something she’d actually wear. I found a piece of pumpkin-colored wool that wasn’t long enough for a petticoat, and that she actually liked. I then dug out my copy of “Women's Dress during the American Revolution; An Interpretive Guide” and looked at the bedgown pattern. There…

Isabel Northwode Costumes | Ladies gown, Historical dresses, Modest fashion

I've been working away at my list of projects here in Williamsburg, both in the shop and on my own. One of my personal projects was a gown made of the reproduction chintz sold here. The chintz I really wanted is out of stock, so I chose the red "trailing vines" print. The red is the original colourway of this print, and it comes from a single-fabric quilt in the Williamsburg collections (accession number 1953-100, if you're curious). I'm a bit sad that it's a home decor print as opposed to…

Women's Bed Gowns - 18th Century - Samson Historical | Woman bedding, Women, 18th century

Short gowns and Bedgowns are the best choice when seeking casual clothing for the 18th Century.

While women of the period may have worn a colonial short gown out of the house, a bedgown was typically only worn around the home. Both garments are secured with pins, allowing flexibility with sizing.
