Many items that I use for the Gildebrief Century Projects are available from the online shop www.gildebrief.de - but not all! Sometimes I might use something that I particularly like for the garment I am creating but do not have enough of to sell. I try to make sure this does not happen very often but most doll makers have accumulated quite a sizeable stash over the years, so you will probably find something you like anyway, or you will discover a suitable substitute in this extensive shop that can be used instead. After all, not everyone makes the garments the same as I do: they are meant as inspiration and the patterns can be made up using different materials and trims.
I hope this series inspires your and gets your creative juices flowing!
GILDEBRIEF CENTURY PROJECT - 1800-1900 Patterns, Historical Information
 |
Fashion of the 19th century, from 1800 to the year 1900, in the context of their social environment of the times. These are projects that are linked to each other and not really meant to stand singly. Although all sewing processes are clearly shown with numerous photos, not every step will be explained in depth repeatedly in each project. It would bore those who are taking part in this series and would mean a lot of extra work for me.
The upheavals and changes of the 19th century, starting with the French revolution of 1789, had enormous impact on the world then and now, and we would not live the lives that we lead today without the events of the 19th century. The industrial revolution, the revolts and uprisings of the people created the environment for our lives today, economically as well as politically, and since fashion (especially women's fashion) were and are always a mirror of the times.
Please note that you can, of course, make every single garment in each single issue of the project without the previous ones, but you would be missing the purpose for this series, at the end of which you would have created fashion "en miniature" from 1800-1900 worthy of a museum display.
The "Mannequin" (model, doll) is about 43 - 46 cm tall! Measurements are given here below:
The Instructions and photos will be sent per CD. The photos are full-size, so you can see every detail a lot better than with any print. Printed instructions (paper) are not available.
Kits do not contain instructions nor patterns - those are contained in the relevant GCP project .
Kits will be available again in mid-January 2022
ALL CD'S ARE FOR WINDOWS - NOT MAC!
