I found the most amazing embroidered silk remnant so I hand sewed and patterned a pierrot jacket using 18th century shapes as my guide. I show you the entire patterning process so you can see how I do it, it is mostly freehanding based on the shapes that have been cut to my measurements. This is kind of my halfway point between 18th century draping on the body and flat patterning since I don't have a mannequin in my measurements. This is not an exact copy of any extant but heavily based on one shown in the book Dress of Genltewomen in Finland in the 18th century and this one in the met. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/155096?img=1
