How to Make an 18th Century Banyan (Robe) | Historical Menswear

This gets a little complicated at times, so don't hesitate to ask a question!

CoSy will last from August 19th to August 22nd of this year. Mark your calendars! There will be lots of excellent sewing and costuming content over the course of that weekend as well as some fun Instagram challenges. If you want to learn more about Costube Symposium (CoSy), for which I am making this video and hosting the #CoSySunday2021 Instagram challenge, you can look here:   / cosy2021  

I'm still working on digitizing my cutting diagram, but it should be here in the coming days.
