Скачать или смотреть 18th Century Harvest Caraco Jacket made entirely of Tablecloths?!

In homage to our final days of fall before the season turns a kind eye to winter, I dedicate this Harvest English Style Caraco Jacket as a way of saying "so long" to a beautiful autumn.

This style of jacket was popular during the mid to late 18th century (1775-85ish) either establishing its roots in England or France, I'm not quite sure. In the links below I'll share my quick resources that I've looked into. Please note that I was intending to make this costume for fun, and therefore didn't put a whole lot of effort or interest in making it completely historically accurate or by following exact patterns... as I mentioned before I just came up with everything myself.

In the video, I am wearing the jacket without my stays for more comfort and ease while shooting... but let's be completely honest, I forgot to bring them to the shoot... Oh well. There was enough structure in the bodice to keep its shape and act like a lightly boned pair of stays.


Hope you enjoy your last few days of fall!
