Dressing The Victorian Husband

I figured since I was doing research on women’s clothes in the 1860’s, I should probably include men’s clothes so that the husband will have something to wear that fits in.?? There are patterns for men’s clothes at Simplicity.com website. I have made a few on that page for me and for him. As of yet, I have not made any trousers for him. Not that he goes around without pants, they just aren’t 1860’s pants. If one is going for a look, one should have a complete look.
The dress I made is the third one down on the right. And down a little further, you will see the men’s clothes. I won’t get them done for his birthday, but hopefully by Spring. We are planning on being on the Effingham Friends of the Library House and Garden Tour come June, and want to dress “in costume”. I dress like that all the time anyway, so it won’t be hard for me. We have just joined the Friends of the Library (FOL for short), and look forward to the adventure.
