Size 6-8 Woman’s Jacket

This very special pattern contains 10 pattern pieces which may be combined to create an entire wardrobe of 18th century jackets. Four views are given, each for a different time period. Because all the pattern pieces, i.e. sleeves, cuffs, backs and front, fit together, you may create additional styles, based on your research. In The Pennsylvania Gazette of 1770, “Run away . . .  a servant girl . . .  had on, and took with her, a linsey jacket, patched under the arms, with patches of a different colour” as cited in Wives, Slaves and Servant Girls.
