How to Re-Create Pioneer Looks

Here's how I've been re-creating the pioneer look lately:

1.  Look at period pictures.

• Clothing the Saints
• Earthly Angels
• Mormon Trek picture gallery

2.  Look at period fabrics so you can choose the right kind, whether you purchase on-line or in a local store.

• Reproduction Fabrics.com
• Mormon Trek fabric swatch gallery

3.  Get/make a pattern.

• Liz Clark's guide for choosing all types of pioneer patterns
• or, draft your own pattern using tips in Liz's Dressmaker's Guide
