Waistcoats of all eras

C1780'sC1800'sC1830's

These outline drawings give an idea of the main waistcoat shapes. You can have any shape, length, or collar design that you wish. If you have seen something in a painting, or film that you like, send me a picture. Waistcoats are not just for gents, I have a selection of fitted waistcoats for ladies too. Fabrics of all kinds; brocade, silk, satin, velvet, taffeta etc. Anything can be used !

Backs can be adjusted by lacing, buckles, buttons or ties. We show here just a few, but coming soon; Georgian waistcoats, single and double breasted with collars, and frock coats. Tudor and Renaissance doublets, Victorian waistcoats and coats.
