Gentlemen: a toast!

In England in the 19th century, among the upper classes dining became an art. Dining became a formal occasion: a time when it was required that men wore full evening dress. Typically, evening dress meant white tie and tails. However in military situations, full dress meant Mess Dress. Amazingly, Mess Dress hasn't changed much at all from the mid-19th century to today.

Mess Dress varies widely. The differences are not from year to year, however, but rather from regiment to regiment. Mess Dress always consists of a short jacket, usually scarlet, worn with a waistcoat and trousers.

Our easy-to-use pattern helps you make a Victorian Era Men's Army Mess Dress Jacket and Waistcoat for the 1850s through 1910s.  Variations to conform to the 1856, 1868, 1881 and 1910s regulations included.  Full instructions on how to build the jacket according to period tailoring techniques included.

Now with extra Downton Abbey goodness!

Fits chests 34" to 54", waists 28" to 50", and hips 35" to 55". All sizes in one envelope. 

Also included are assembly instructions, embellishment suggestions, and the extensive historical notes you've come to expect from Reconstructing History.

Suggested Fabrics: wool; linen or lightweight silk for lining; heavy linen, buckram or canvas for interlining

Notions: thread; buttons and braid for front and sleeve decoration; buckram or tailor’s canvas; wool felt or padding for collar; buttonhole floss

Love this entire skincare line
We love this product! I have a teenage daughter who uses it and absolutely raves about it. We use the entire line, including the facial cleanser, toner, and more. Everything about these products has been great—effective, gentle, and high quality. Highly recommend!

Works great, just no different from any other pimple patch on the market
These pimple patches by Thayers are made from 100% hydrocolloid and definitely work in terms of helping speed up the pimple healing process. These pimple patches work best when your pimple is ripe enough. If you stick these pimple patches on when your pimples are not ripe enough yet, they will not do anything, and it would be a waste of a pimple sticker. You know when your pimple is ripe when it comes to a head and has that little white spot. When it's ripe, I would stick this pimple patch overnight and typically by the time I wake up, the pimple patch will have absorbed all the gunk from my pimple. You will know that it worked if you see your pimple patch turn white. Sometimes it might take an extra night for the gunk to come out. When you stick these pimple patches on, make sure your face is freshly washed without any face products or else they won't stick as well. Given what the Thayers brand is known for (natural remedies and herbal extracts), I would think that they would infuse some natural ingredients into this pimple patch to help speed up the healing process even more. But to my disappointment, they did not add any additional active ingredient to this pimple patch despite what their brand stands for so I took off a star.

Great for my teen
We love Thayers everything. They work so great and they truly are invisible. My daughter can wear them to school and not even realize they’re on her face.

A MUST Buy for your TEEN.
Helping my son so much - these work within a couple of hours to flatten ouchie whiteheads. My 14 years old son is so grateful! There’s 2 sizes, 22 patches, and they truly are “invisible” like the box says. These have been working so well (better than any other brand - and we’ve tried them all) and the price is the cheapest. We Love THAYERS brand now - lifetime user here for sure.
