Margo Anderson's Historic Costume Patterns is proud to announce the
release of yet another historically accurate, highly detailed
Elizabethan Pattern!

The Elizabethan Working Woman's Wardrobe Pattern is our first pattern
for the lower orders. Who needs this pattern? The thousands of
Renaissance women who do NOT portray nobles, and have NOT acquired our
original Elizabethan Lady's Ensemble. The ale wenches, shop-women,
herbalists, blacksmith's wives, midwives, chambermaids, farmers' wives,
and thousands of others. Until now they've been left without a
high-standard, historically accurate option. No more -- now there's a
more authentic option.

IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT FINE PRINT! MOST OF THE PIECES IN THE WORKING
WOMAN'S WARDROBE ARE ADAPTED FROM SELECTED PIECES IN THE ELIZABETHAN
LADY'S ENSEMBLE. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE ENSEMBLE -- THE UNDERPINNINGS,
WARDROBE, AND ACCESSORIES -- YOU DO NOT NEED THIS NEW PACKAGE.

I'm putting the finishing touches on a set of instructions to adapt the
Lady's Ensemble patterns to create the same costumes as the Working
Woman's Wardrobe. These instructions will be added to the website in a
downloadable form within a few days. The Working Woman's Wardrobe has
been created for those who have not chosen to recreate the dress of the
upper classes, but want to enjoy the same quality of patterns and
documentation as our existing customers.

The pattern has our usual high standards. It's well researched, and
comes with a 120 page instruction manual! It includes patterns for a
smock, partlet, bodice with lacing and shoulder and wasitline
variations, a skirt, two sleeves, three hats, a pouch, and instructions
for making an apron and neckcloth. The size range is women's 2-30, and
all the sizes are included in each package.

Thanks!

Margo Anderson
