Making an Outlander 18th Century Inspired Costume (but not travelling back in time)

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!

After I made my Outlander inspired knitted shawl, on a whim, I decided to make a matching outfit. One of the things I really liked about Outlander was how the costumes evoked the time period without being strictly historical (though a lot of historical research was put into the costuming and I think they did a great job!). I really liked the textures, the colour palette, and so I wanted to make an Outlander inspired costume. Thankfully, past Cat had an inkling, and so I was able to use a pattern from my stash, Simplicity 8161. I think it was a great pattern!

I used exclusively fabrics from stash, roughly 1.5 meters of green linen for the jacket (plus heavier linen for interlining and a light linen for lining), and about 2 meters of olive wool suiting for my petticoat. Overall, I was really pleased with this 'quick' project! The embroidered stomacher really adds something (other than time lol). Just gotta find an opportunity to wear it now!
