Making an Outlander 18th Century Inspired Costume (but not travelling back in time)

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! After I made my Outlander inspired knitted shawl, on a whim, I decided to make a matching outfit. One of the things I really liked about Outlander was how the costumes evoked the time period without being strictly historical (though a lot of historical research was put into the costuming and I think they did a great job!). I really liked the textures, the colour palette, and so I wanted to make an Outlander inspired costume. Thankfully, past Cat had an inkling, and so I was able to use a pattern from my stash, Simplicity 8161. I think it was a great pattern! I used exclusively fabrics from stash, roughly 1.5 meters of green linen for the jacket (plus heavier linen for interlining and a light linen for lining), and about 2 meters of olive wool suiting for my petticoat. Overall, I was really pleased with this 'quick' project! The embroidered stomacher really adds something (other than time lol). Just gotta find an opportunity to wear it now! -- THINGS MENTIONED -- Simplicity 8161 https://amzn.to/3VJpWkx Simplicity 8162 https://amzn.to/3grRue8 (pattern of the stays I wore for the mock-up though for the photos I wore my Augusta Stays https://youtu.be/FZWiwRerLgE) American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Dressmaking https://amzn.to/3F0tWal American Duchess Free Embroidery Pattern https://blog.americanduchess.com/2014/10/embroidered-stomachers-of-early-18th.html How to Make Medieval Lucet Cord https://youtu.be/ubo4E8JVabU -- MORE --
