18th Century Larkin & Smith English Gown Workshop

In this 2 1/2-day workshop, At the Sign of the Golden Scissors will teach us to construct an English stomacher front gown in a period manner using the Larking and Smith English Gown Pattern.

The en fourreau back was one of the most popular styles of gown during the 18th century and can easily suit a variety of impressions depending on choice of fabric and trim. The focus for this workshop will be on making gowns suitable to the early 1770s with information on how to make an earlier style if desired.

At the end of the workshop, you will have a personalized pattern for reuse and your gown 75-90% finished. During the workshop, you will also have the chance to examine some of the original 18th century items in the collection of the Golden Scissors!
