This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern for a Georgian dress worn about 1780. Sewing patterns for split bum, pockets and fichu are included.

Please scroll down for yardage and pattern information.


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.

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