This is a pattern for a Redingcote incl. accessoires for the 1780 period.
This is what Black Snail Patterns shares about this pattern:
The Redingote developed from the men´s Great Coat (a long woolen Coat with a cape, worn as outmost layer) and became popular about 1780.
A Redingote is worn over a visible petticoat. This petticoat can be embroidered, decorated with ruffles or can be left plain.
The product pictures show a steampunk interpretation of the dress, but as well a mostly historicaly accurate dress can be sewn with that pattern.

A seam allowance of 5/8" (1,5cm) is included.

Fitted to be worn over stays or a corset.
Also suitable for cosplay costumes.

The pattern comes with detailed and illustrated sewing instructions in English and German.
It is a multi size pattern, you can choose between US 8-18 (EU 34-44) and US 20-30 (EU 46-56).
