All items (except the stockings and shoes) were sewn by me using modern techniques, including a Janome DM7200 (decorative stitches) Janome 1600 PQC (straight stitch) and an overlocker. For the undergarments, I reused and adapted as many items as I could from previous projects.

The split drawers were made using the Truly Victorian pattern TV106:
