Making an Embroidered 18th Century French Court Suit Coat for Versailles

In this video I show how I made an 18th Century Embroidered French Court Suit Coat (or Frock Coat) for my husband to wear to Versailles. He wore this outfit for 2 events that we attended at Versailles, A Trianon and Fête Galante. These were dream events, and I wanted, (needed), to created dream outfits for them. I used the JP Ryan Pattern "Gentleman's Frock Coat" suitable for 1770-1780's. The Pattern says that it may be made plain, sporty, or fancy, and that it is suitable for all but the most formal occasions. Well... I think that going to a ball at Versailles might be the most formal occasion in my life, so I changed up the collar to be more formal. I embroidered this waistcoats with my Brother Innov-is NQ1600E Embroidery Machine. All of the embroidery designs were pre-set that came with the machine. I got this light green satin fabric from Gail K. I originally had gotten it for a different project, but it just spoke to me for this one. The main inspiration for his ensemble is this piece: Man's Three-piece Suit (Coat, Vest, and Breeches)circa 1770: https://collections.lacma.org/object/45947 "Gentleman's Frock Coat" suitable for 1770-1780's Pattern from: https://www.jpryan.com/product-page/gentleman-s-frock-coat The wig is from: https://www.instagram.com/tattoos_and_laces/ The buttons are from: https://burnleyandtrowbridge.com/collections/buttons/products/french-patterned-button?variant=31834061930583 The shirt and socks are from: https://www.samsonhistorical.c
