iwillruletheuniverse asked: Do you know where I can buy copies of the things you post here?
Hi there! I’ve had a couple of questions along these lines, and the short answer is no… but the long answer is, there are options! As far as I know, there are no individuals or companies that explicitly recreate these garments, and certainly not all of them that I post. You may, however, find artists willing to recreate garments for you by commission - check Etsy!
On the subject of patterns, certain museum garments HAVE been patterned. I can point anyone in that direction if interested - drop me a message. This is very rare, however. More available are general historical costume pattern companies, of which there are many and that depends on the era in focus.

pardonmybloomers-deactivated202 asked: I have a pretty specific question. Is there a name for the style of gloves that have seams across the back of the hand, as opposed to ones that don't? Cursory googling isn't turning up anything for me.
hi there! sorry for the delay, tumblr never updated me about my messages. i’m really not sure about this! my gut is to say that there isn’t a different term, as the seams are a way of fitting the gloves (?). that being said, seams on the backside of the hand are, to my knowledge, quite new in terms of fashion history.
(anyone, please feel free to correct me if i’m wrong!)
I did a quick search and found one leather glove retailer (Dents) refer to those seams as ‘points’: “Points are the three lines, or sometimes single line, of decorative stitching on the back of the glove.” I’m not sure if that’s what they meant when they asked the question, but it’s what immediately came to mind. Edwardian fashion comes to mind with that style.
^^^^ thank you!
