Congratulations to the Threads online member who was randomly selected in our current giveaway. Seemless will receive a copy of Seventeenth-Century Women’s Dress Patterns from the Victoria and Albert Museum in the United Kingdom.

This book presents dress patterns, construction details, embroidery, and step-by-step instructions for 15 garments and accessories from a 17th-century British woman’s wardrobe. Hidden elements of the clothes, like the number of layers and the stitches used inside, are revealed to help you reconstruct these garments.

Congratulations again! Look for more book giveaways coming soon.
