1790s Fraque
NP22

This pattern was created from an original garment in Nehelenia's private collection: a suit consisting of frock coat and matching breeches originating from the French Provence, which can be dated to c. 1798 through original documents obtained with the garments. The style is typical of post revolutionary French fashion, with its small skirts, cutaway front edges barely meeting on the chest, a high stand-up collar and large fabric covered buttons.

The pack contains detailed instructions accompanied by colour photographs of the original garment leading you through the process of recreating a truly authentic garment. The frock coat is sewn by hand using period techniques, but can be machine sewn as well.

Includes 6 sizes: Chest 95 - 120 cm = 38 - 48".

taffeta in blue and reddish tones. It is of tight fit and features large
decorative buttons.

Boilly, Ce qui allume l'Amour, l'éteint, 1790
Though the frock coat this young gentleman is wearing is featuring a high fold-down collar, it's cut is very similar to our extant garment.
The depicted suit appears to be made of shot silk taffeta in blue and cream or gold tones and a cream coloured lining.
