Thanks to the GBACG list for the heads up — LACMA has put up some scaled patterns for some men’s 18th century garments that you can download for free. The banyan in particular is really cool. Loren/bauhausfrau mentioned on LJ that the curators said they may be doing the woman’s 18th c. redingote (which I hope is the stripey one with big buttons that I can’t find a picture of online but that made me swoon when I saw it in the catalogue) – cross your fingers!

Sheila M-N took the picture and Angela G pinched it for her blog.
Catherine – yes! I LOVE that dress! It’s the tiny stripes and the huge buttons.
You’re gonna have to fight me for it!
Hopefully there are enough Big Honkin’ Buttons to go around!
