Vaguely Historical Gambeson Sewing Pattern
$3.00
A print-at-home digital PDF cosplay sewing pattern for a Vaguely Historical Gambeson intended for costume not for combat, as used under my Alanna the Lioness Chainmail.
This pattern comes in one size, approximately US women’s 10/Medium, and has the following Finished dimensions:
– Chest 44in
– Hips 56in
– Front length 30in
– Sleeve length 15in
– Armscy 20in
I recommend creating a mock-up in a similar material to test the fit and make needed adjustments. There are many ways to resize patterns, for more information on various methods check out my write up: http://randomtuesday.com/resize
The pattern includes written notes on construction and materials, it is assumed that you have at least basic knowledge of sewing, garment construction, and prop making. All pattern pieces are drawn without seam allowance, so you can choose your own preferred allowance, the instructions will note if a seam allowance is not needed.
I do my best to make these instructions accessible and informative but they are not as detailed as more traditional commercial patterns. If you are stuck or confused about any part of the construction please send me a message and I will do my best to help you!
The pattern comes as a full-sized image that can be printed on a regular home printer at your preferred paper size by following the “poster” printing instructions that are included. If you are having issues, please reach out to me, I am in the process of updating all patterns to the pre-tilted format and can likely provide you the tiled version quickly.
The pattern comes as a .zip file, you will need to extract the file before printing. Mac and PC can do this natively, for mobile you may need an external app.
This pattern is for personal use only. You are more than welcome to use it for your own projects or for making commissions! However, redistribution or commercial use is prohibited.
