Pattern for early Tudor lady's gown with variations

• Made exclusively by The Tudor Tailor

Sewing pattern for several styles of late 15th century and early 16th century Tudor gowns (dresses or overdresses) with neckline and sleeve variations, suitable for Elizabeth of York, Catherine of Aragon and other ladies from the early part of the Tudor era, 1485-1520. With full instructions for choosing materials, sizing and constructing garments - perfect for reenactors.

These patterns were developed for inclusion in The Queen's Servants and are based on the garments and fabrics issued by the Great Wardrobes of Henry VII and Henry VIII. 

Highly researched and based on documentary descriptions, extant examples and paintings. Please see the image of the pattern envelope for specific sources.

Please note, these gowns are designed to be worn and fitted over a separate petticoat or kirtle. Patterns for these are not included and should be purchased in addition to the gown pattern. 

Our brushed cotton (domette) can be used as wadding for stuffing the gown pleats.

This pattern is available in either larger sizes or smaller sizes. Please see the size chart included in the photos for this listing to ensure you're selecting the correct pattern for you.
