Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Below the Waist: Pads, Hoops, Crinolines and Bustles provides a wide range of historical patterns and instructions to construct a range of underpinnings, simple pads, a farthingale, 18th century hoops, 19th century crinolines and bustles.
The silhouette that enables us to recognize and date historical female garments owes a great deal to the underpinnings that support the costume. Historical underpinnings were constructed to hold and shape the outer garment, creating a silhouette unique to a particular period. The examination of a wide range of original garments forms the basis for each pattern in this book and includes historical information to support each pattern, providing a unique shape that gives a wider choice for the costumer to create an accurate period silhouette. Many of the garments are from unseen collections and present new patterns for the reader. Clear step by step instructions, with supporting diagrams, will enable the reader to produce an accurate period undergarment.
Mandy Barrington‘s method of pattern drafting allows anyone, from students on costume construction courses to professionals working in the costuming industry, to draft and make an authentic historical underpinning.
