Lastly, Simplicity 8578 and 8579 are available, starring Abby in the Robe a la Francaise from "The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Dressmaking," and a full set of historically accurate 18th century underpinnings (shift, stays, and side hoops) to get you started. Remember, you can use the patterns with the machine sewing instructions OR use the instructions in our book to make the gown, petticoat, and hoops by hand using 18th century methods.
