This was made in 2009 and 2010 for the Jane Austen Evening event in Pasadena.  The coat and vest were both drafted from The Cut of Mens Clothes.  The shirt pattern was from a Le Fleur de Lyse, the 18th Century shirt pattern, which I made adjustments to.  The trousers are from J. Townsend and Company and the shoes and top hat are both vintage.  This was, hands down, the most time consuming and difficult project I have ever attempted.

Diaries for this project can be found here, here, here, here, here.
