I love tradition Korean costumes, they are so exquisite in both colour and texture.

Once again if anyone feels up for a translation I will credit you, I would be very interested in the description and history of this costume: 唐衣は朝鮮宮廷の礼服で、王族が礼服として用いた。1枚または2枚のチマを付け、三回装襦：サンフェザン・チョゴリ（襟、結び紐、袖口、脇に別布を付ける）を着た上に唐衣を着る。桃榴文（柘榴の実の間に桃の花を散らした文様）を織り出した軟豆色（薄緑色）の地に肩と裾に金の箔押しで桃榴文と寿福の字を組み合わせた吉祥文を施している。桃榴文は妃や嬪など身分の高い人々にのみ使用の許される高級な文様である。また、胸、背、両肩に付けられた円龍文は王族だけが用いた。チマは2枚重ねる場合、下は裾模様、膝襴が2段ある大襴裳、上.

-Original- Pre 1929 Historical Pattern Collection: Encore, Encore!!:

Do you know Vintagevision? If you don’t, I’m here to inform you that this person- this wonderful person- has managed to sift through this blog’s earliest slew of patters; a very messy tangle of great draft sheets from Imperial Russia.

All of the Russian draft pages are now labeled as best as humanly possible. Here are the pages:

April 1905
February 1906
March 1906
April 1906
June 1906
November 1906
December 1906
August 1907
October 1907
November 1907
February 1912
August 1913
February 1913
November 1913

So, Edwardian and Teens/Pre-WW1 enthusiasts, rejoice!! Rejoice and cry simultaneously- because while these drafts are undoubtedly rewarding, they really are a mess. But thanks to all the hard work by Vintagevision at least we know what we’re looking at now! 98% of you guys won’t remember ever having seen these drafts before, so hopefully you’ll check them out and breathe new life into them.

Thanks SO MUCH AGAIN Vintagevision!!!!!! You’re incredible!!!
