With the upcoming movie Alice in Wonderland 2010, starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, there is a renewed interest surfacing about the authentic garments of the era that is portrayed in the film.
Of special interest is the men’s frock coat style that Johnny Depp’s character wears in the story. I found a source for a sewing pattern for anyone who may be looking to make this type of garment. |
A coat, jacket or vest like this would be needed for events such as a school play, a theater production, costumes for historical reenactment fairs and, we must not forget to mention one of the other popular reasons to wear these: for Halloween costumes. The Mad Hatter is likely to be a popular choice for Halloween costuming this coming Fall season and you can save yourself some money by making your own garments for dressing in character for those parties and celebrations.
