HISTORICAL VINTAGE PATTERNS

We all enjoy a good period and costume drama, not necessarily just because of the plot lines, or the characters, which can in some sense be applied to any era, but because of the styles and clothing you see the actor’s wear.  Re-enactments and historical costume dramas go to great lengths to make sure they pick out the correct props and clothing for the events or stories we hold dear, whether it’s a film or series bases on a Jane Austen and Charles Dickens novel, or historical fictions such as those based on past queens and kings.

No matter the reason you are looking for vintage costume patterns, whether for a fancy dress party, as the basis for a wedding dress, for a play and drama or some kind, or even for a museum exhibition, The Vintage Pattern Shop can help.  We are the UK’s leading provider of vintage patterns including a wonderful supply of period costume patterns.  Even if you cannot find a costume patterns style from a time period that you want, be sure to contact us and we may be able to source one for you.
