Turkish Dancer This beautiful pattern is based on 19th C. osman fashions and contains a coat dress (Entari), jacket and vest. These traditional vestments are easy to make. They suit the osman lady perfectly, but are also quite appropriate for fashionable late 18th-19th C. european ladies, who indulged themselves in romantic oriental styles, like Mary Gunning, Countess of Coventry, in this 1749 picture by Liotard. Colourful fabrics, elaborate decorations, embroidery and pearl trimmings make this style iconic. Sizes XS-XXL included.

Japanese Hakama and Kataginu During the Edo period in Japan (1615-1868), members of the samurai or warrior class wore the Kamishimo, a traditional costume made up of the Kataginu or pleated-front vest and Hakama or pleated pants/skirt. The two garments were typically worn over a knee-length kimono for formal occasions. Today, the garments are frequently worn for official occasions, martial arts, and historic reenactment. Since the Hakama is simply a large rectangle of fabric that is pleated to fit your body, the pattern does not have a large rectangle pattern piece (waste of paper!). Instead, there are complete instructions for measuring, cutting, and pleating the traditional Hakama skirt/pant in any size. The pattern does include actual pattern pieces for Small, Medium-Large, and Sumo-Size Koshiita (Backboard) and Koshiita Triangles. For contemporary sportswear, pattern also includes instructions for optional side panels to fill in the side-seam gaps that expose the underlying kimono in traditional wear. The wide-shoulder Kataginu can be made to match the Hakama for a traditional samurai appearance or as a contrasting wearable art accent. Easy to pleat and sew, it completes a dramatic outfit. Line Drawing Kataginu Line Drawing Hakama See matching KIMONO below! Sizes: Hakama for men and women, all sizes based on waist measurement. Kataginu in one size.
