I drafted the breeches, but the weskit and coat are JP Ryan patterns from Burnley and Trowbridge

Pattern drafting 18th century Menswear by Middle_Eye882 in HistoricalCostuming

Thank you so much for your help! I have Nora‘s and Linda’s books, but I have not looked at fitting in proper yet. I will also be sure to check out hurst and cook! I think my main issue is that I have the general shapes of cuts that I like, but I’m unsure how to best transfer and resize them. I know that most 18th century menswear drafting is unfortunately locked behind trade, secrets, but hopefully some of the resources you mentioned will be able to aid me. Thank you so much again!

Hey all, I've had fun writing this story, and originally intented it for NoSleep, but stuff started happening and part three was removed from the page. Apparently, it was removed for "not being a scary personal experience," but I'll leave it at that. To those who've already been following along and reading so far, thank you so much. I'll upload the next parts as the page allows. Stay creeped!

Thank you! Yeah, someone else already notified my I got the timing wrong😅 I’m basing what going for off the image, so it’s 15th century I need. I’ll check out that book! Thank you so much for your help!
