The Chronicle of Higher Education has made us aware of the possibility of ordering the pattern of Charlotte Brontë's travelling dress:
What was it like to wear Charlotte Brontë's silk traveling dress (pattern available from the Northern Society of Costume and Textiles) after wedding Arthur Bell Nicholls? (Amy Leal)
On the
Northern Society of Costumes and Textiles website we have found more details:
Pattern Pack No. 1 : The Going-Away Dress of Charlotte Brontë
The pattern is taken from the pretty dress which Charlotte Brontë wore on the 29th June, 1854, when she left Howarth with her new husband, Arthur Bell Nicholls, on their way to Ireland for their honeymoon.
The dress is now owned by the Brontë Parsonage Museum, Howarth (sic!), which is associated with this production.
