A comprehensive course on historically accurate 19th-century sleeve pattern research. You’ll learn to identify, source, and reconstruct sleeve silhouettes spanning the entire 1800s — from Regency-era fitted sleeves through Romantic gigot sleeves, the slim 1840s-60s styles, and the dramatic leg-of-mutton revival of the 1890s.

This course covers the complete research toolkit: navigating digital fashion plate archives, interpreting original pattern drafting manuals, using period-accurate measurement systems, setting up CAD tools for historical pattern work, and troubleshooting common fit issues unique to 19th-century sleeve construction.

Whether you’re building costumes for stage, screen, living history, or personal study — this course gives you the methodology and tools to achieve genuine historical accuracy.
