New
France Collection
We developped these patterns after studying l'Art de la
Lingère by Garsault and l'Encyclopédie de
Diderot & d'Alembert. But we have also looked closely at
French engravings and paintings of mid-18th century artists, like
Bouchardon and Chardin. We experimented with many prototypes and
developped our patterns, which should fit on modern bodies, while
keeping in mind the styling and cut of the times.
Patterns for the
French military of the Seven Years War. These patterns have been
developped in partnership with Association d'histoire vivante
Québec-Canada and part of the profits will go to the
development of the group's future projects. François Gousse
provided the military information found in original sources. These
patterns are also good for civilian clothing.
All patterns include historical notes
about fabrics, colours,
trims, accessories and the way to wear them.

Medieval
Collection
We developped these patterns with the help of Evelyne Bouchard after
reading many verse chronicles . We have also looked closely at
iconography including stained glass windows, illuminated designs in
roman bibles, embroidered pieces and many statues like those in
Chartres cathedral. We experimented with many prototypes and developped
our patterns, which should fit on modern bodies, while keeping in mind
the styling and cut of the times.
All patterns include historical notes about fabrics, colours, trims,
sewing stiches, accessories and the way to wear them.
