I would caution anyone against using the McCall's and Buttericks patterns for authentic period clothing. Those patterns lack the period details needed for a living history situation, they are fine for stage productions where details are not noticeable. For 19th & 20th century patterns I highly recommend Past Patterns, www.pastpatterns.com They are well made and exceptionally well researched patterns. For 18th century I suggest Kanniks Korners www.kannikskorner.com They have great patterns for men, women and children.
