An inordinate fondness for Silversaga and her patterns: the Clara, Eleonora, and Juliette
Jessica Silversaga is a Swedish pattern designer, photographer, and sewist. She is the owner of Silversaga Patterns, which began as a slow fashion RTW label before transitioning entirely to sewing patterns in 2023. She has some ~200 designs, of which 15 are available for purchase as sewing patterns. Silversaga’s patterns have attracted a sizeable community of sewists, mostly on Instagram, who have documented their makes of her patterns. These makes number in the thousands; too much for a single taxonomist to singlehandedly catalog. As such, in this monograph, we focus on breadth instead of depth, by cataloging only a small but reflective sample of makes; that of the Clara (Argenclaridae), Eleonora (Argenteleonoridae), and Juliette (Juliettidae). The diversity and versatility of Silversaga’s designs is reflected in the 15 families, 5 orders, and countless more genera and infrageneric taxa dedicated to Silversaga’s patterns, scattered polyphyletically throughout the kingdom Abtruncusa.

Non-technical introduction
This section is intended as an introduction to the LCT-01 for people with sewing knowledge but no prior biology experience. After the publication of this long paper (or “monograph”, the more specific term for the type of paper this is), we intend to publish additional sewist-friendly documentation that help sewists understand the LCT-01.
The First Lemurian Clothing Taxonomy (LCT-01) is a system of garment and fabric classification developed by Lemuria starting in September 2025. It is based on methods first developed for and used in biological taxonomy, such as the use of Latin, binomial nomenclature, a tree-like structure, and nomenclatural ranks.
An example of the Latin-based nomenclature of the system can be found in the taxonomic treatment of the Eleonora pattern. The Eleonora, broadly construed, consists of two products on Silversaga’s website: the Sleeveless Eleonora, and the Eleonora. The Sleeveless Eleonora is placed within the family Heleonoridae, while the sleeved Eleonora is placed within the family Argenteleonoridae. The H- and Argent- suffixes carry meaning, though it may not be immediately obvious. H- is because Heleonoridae is placed in the class Helistola, which combines Ancient Greek helios (“sun”) with Latin stola (“dress”); literally “sun dress”. The Argent- suffix attached to Argenteleonoridae comes from Latin argentum (“silver”). This prefix helps distinguish Silversaga’s Eleonora pattern from other patterns also named Eleonora.
The LCT-01, developed as a hobby, has its roots in the observations that the well-established system of biological taxonomy was well-suited to naming millions of seemingly diverse and unclassifiable animals, plants, bacteria, and fungi; and that this system could be reused and adapted to something as similarly diverse: fashion. Just as taxonomists have helped humanity learn about the beauty of Earth’s lifeforms (think Tyrannosaurus rex), we too hope that our taxonomy work can help people begin to realize how diverse clothing is, and appreciate the craft and effort behind each make; especially from indie designers like Silversaga.
The taxonomy uses the eight major ranks Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species, akin to biological taxonomy.
The LCT-01 differs from most other systems in its emphasis on grouping by construction (or in biological terms, morphology). Examples of characteristics we classify garments based on include, but are not limited to, necklines, sleeve length, buttons, dress length, straps, ruffles; while those that we set aside are characteristics like the collection a dress was part of (e.g. “Summer/Spring 2022”), the designer, and even the aesthetic of a specific dress (e.g. “cottagecore”). Regardless, “cottagecore” still affects the LCT-01 classification, but indirectly. A cottagecore dress often has puff sleeves, ruffles, lace, floral patterns, and pastel colors; these characteristics that arise from decomposing the meaning of “cottagecore” into its constituent parts are what inform the classification of a specific garment.
However, the LCT-01 is not intended to replace any already-existing systems; but rather, coexist with them. Linnaeus’s decision to name the cat Felis catus does not mean that every human is required to refer to their cat as “instances of Felis catus”. We aim to be one of the many glasses people can put on to look at the world.

1 Background
We intend for this background section pertaining to Jessica Silversaga to be an introduction to her for the entire taxonomy; in future monographs, we plan to refer back to this section.
1.1 Jessica Silversaga
Jessica Silversaga (https://silversagapatterns.com; Instagram: @silversagapatterns; personal Instagram: @jessicasilversaga) is a Swedish photographer, pattern designer, and sewist. She now lives in southern France, and has two cats, Ada [1], and Alice.
In high school, she took journalism & photography; and in 2005, she graduated with a Bachelor of Photography from the Mid Sweden University.
She became interested in sewing after taking a beginner’s sewing class. Most patterns and RTW garments available to her were incompatible with her petite frame and smaller cup size. In her late 20s, Silversaga began taking pattern drafting classes in Stockholm.
In late 2018, she launched the slow fashion RTW label Silversaga [2, 3]. Many of the patterns now available through Silversaga Patterns were sold RTW during this period. She designed seven collections on a seasonal schedule; autumn/winter (A/W) 2019, 2021, and 2022; and summer/spring (S/S) 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. The dresses were preproduced in small batches. Silversaga herself is inconsistent with where; [2] makes reference to “a skilled atelier in Estonia” while in [3] she states that all her clothes were “designed and sewn in Sweden”.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in September 2023, she discontinued sales of RTW garments and became a pattern-only label [4].
Simon, Jessica’s fiancé, joined the company in 2024.
Silversaga’s history is split into two primary periods; the slow fashion period (2018–2023) and pattern period (2023–present).
1.1.1 Online presence
Jessica’s online presence dates to the early 2000s. WHOIS records show that the domain silversaga.se was registered on December 9, 2004. The earliest Wayback Machine captures for her website, https://silversaga.se date to 2006, when it was used as a portfolio website for her photography. Based on snapshots, which the Archive took at seemingly random non-consistent intervals, throughout the 2010s she kept a blog in both English and Swedish on the website.
It became an e-commerce website c. 2020, two years into the launch of Silversaga, and with the start of the pattern period, the silversaga.se domain became a redirect to https://silversagapatterns.com. The delay is likely due to Silversaga’s early commercial activities having taken place on Etsy.
Silversaga’s online store now uses software from Shopify, a Canadian e-commerce company. The Shopify instances on both silversaga.se and silversagapatterns.com are the same. As a result, many holotypes from the RTW period, while “taken down” were never truly deleted, and thus, survive to 2026. Though the Internet Archive was unable to fully cover all of silversaga.se’s product pages, the images in question are still accessible through Shopify’s CDN, and can be archived. An example of these retrieved holotypes is Silversaga 2022.58.7180, featuring Argenteleonora candiga natalia (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0562/9375/2969/products/SilversagaSS2022_58.jpg?v=1649342524; see Section 2.9.7.1).
Silversaga also formerly had the Instagram account @silversaga.se, however, it is now private. It has 248 posts and a message stating that the account has been moved to @silversagapatterns. There may be early posts on @silversaga.se that do not exist on the current @silversagapatterns. This likely contains early Silversaga history inaccessible to us at the time of this monograph.
1.1.2 Patterns
Jessica’s total pattern repertoire is around ~200, as of January 2026 [5].
As of April 2026, only 14 of these patterns are available for purchase through Silversaga Patterns. In alphabetical order, they are the Alma (Almidae), Amelie (Argenmelidae), Celeste (Celestidae), Celine (Celinidae), Chloe (Helarchloidae), Clara (Argenclaridae, Section 2.4), Eleonora (Argenteleonoridae, Section 2.9; Heleonoridae, Section 2.14), Ella (Argenkamellidae and Argentellidae), Elsa (Argenelsidae), Emma (Helargemmidae), Francesca (Francescidae), Juliette (Juliettidae, Section 2.5), Mina (Minastolidae), and Ophelia (Ophelidae).
In this monograph, we cover the Clara, Eleonora, and Juliette.
Some patterns have been discontinued; such as the Cora.
In 2025, the five most popular patterns were the Celine, Chloe, Eleonora, Amelie, and Ella.
These patterns are sold entirely as PDFs with English-language instructions. Patterns are available in sizes EU 34–54 (UK 6–26; US 2–24). Many of these patterns date back to the RTW period, while some, such as the Celeste (April 2026), were new when work began on the monograph.
The Eleonora comes in two primary variants, sold as two separate patterns; a sleeved variant, known simply as the Eleonora; and a sleeveless variant, sold as the Sleeveless Eleonora. We will refer to both as the sleeved and sleeveless Eleonora respectively, for clarity; we use the term Eleonora itself to refer to both patterns collectively.
Jessica tests her patterns in one to three rounds, with a total of anywhere from 40 to 70 testers, ranging from EU sizes 34 to 54 [6]. Based on these figures, we estimate at least 600–1,050 extant species across the 15 families. For comparison, the LCT-01 had ~300 species across ~70 genera as of the last count conducted in February.
Silversaga’s aesthetic is variously described as “romantic minimalism” [7], “timeless”, and as having “soft romantic silhouettes” [1]. Silversaga herself frequently uses the adjective “romantic” on many of her product pages; and the title of the root page of the Silversaga Patterns website reads “Clothes Poetry”, with a white dove emoji.
1.1.2.1 Difficulty
Silversaga uses two different scales, 1-4 and 1-5 to rank the difficulty of her patterns. 1 is easy, while 4 or 5 is difficult.
These are denoted by circles on the title page of each pattern, with a name given to each difficulty in italic text below.
1.1.2.2 Table
We present a table of Silversaga’s patterns in Table 1.

1.1.3 Terminology
We will be referring to Jessica Silversaga by her first name throughout the monograph, to better distinguish her from her company, Silversaga Patterns. She also has the person abbreviation J.Silversaga (see Section 1.3).
1.2 Biographies
In this section, we include brief biographies of the persons whose garments we cover in the monograph.
For person abbreviations, see Section 1.3, which will contain Instagram links or otherwise short blurbs when they do not warrant a full section.
Most of them are Silversaga’s pattern testers. Pattern testers’ names were inferred by reading filenames and browsing Instagram, as elaborated on in Section 1.6.
1.2.1 Annette
Annette Nicoletti (Instagram: @annette.sews) is an American sewist from the greater Boston area. As stated on her Instagram profile, she is 170.18 cm (5 ft 7 in) tall. Bust 78.74 cm (31 in), waist 69.85 cm (27.5 in), hip 91.44 cm (36 in).
Wearer of: 2 spp.; Genus Heleonora: truannettae (Section 2.14.7.1), monokhromos (Section 2.14.7.2)
1.2.2 Bethany Lynne
Bethany Lynne Routamaa (https://www.bethanylynnemakes.com/about/; Instagram: @bethanylynne_makes) is an American sewist from east Texas. She learned sewing and knitting from her mother and grandmother. Though her earliest interests were in painting, she has since diversified to other creative pursuits such as knitting, crocheting, graphic design, quilting, and most taxonomically relevant, sewing. Her earliest me-made garments date back to 2021.
Bethany has now designed her own patterns; such as the Agnes sweater, Homebody apron, and numerous backpacks, sling bags, and tote bags.
During the early pattern period, Bethany won a copy of five patterns from Silversaga (the entire published collection at the time), which led to the start of her interest in Silversaga. Bethany typically makes garments in EU size 36 [8].
Her last name, Routamaa, is attested in pattern tester filenames.
Wearer of: Ac. bethanae (Section 2.4.1.4), Ae. bethanae (Section 2.9.6.1)
1.2.3 Madeleine Salisbury
Madeleine Claire Salisbury (Instagram: @made_by_madeleine.claire) is an American sewist, originally from New York, now living in Prague, Czech Republic. Salisbury herself was discovered as part of yet-to-be-published taxonomic work on other patterns; specifically the Traveller coat by Bella Loves Patterns.
As stated on the description of an Ella dress make (no taxonomic classification yet), as of 2026-04-14, Salisbury had a bust of 91.44 in (36 in), waist of 68.58 cm (27 in), and 101.6 cm (40 in) [9].
Salisbury is one of Jessica’s pattern testers; she has tested the Eleonora [10, 11], the Juliette [12]
Wearer of: 2 spp. Ae. madeleinae (Section 2.9.2.2), Ae. madeleinatra (Section 2.9.2.3)
1.2.4 Laural Stapleton
Laural Stapleton (https://www.themakerhaus.com/; Instagram: @themakerhaus) is an American sewist and the operator of The Maker Haus, a small pattern label with two patterns, the Edie and the Nadine.
She is one of Silversaga’s pattern testers.
In the filenames, we consistently observed the spelling Laural for Laural Stapleton. Laural is not a typo; Stapleton herself uses the spelling Laural, ruling out the possibility of a typo on Silversaga’s end.
Regardless, we have chosen to abbreviate her by her last name, Stapleton, as this is less likely to cause confusion as to the spelling of her first name.
Wearer of: H. lauralia (Section 2.14.4.2)

1.4 Taxonomic remarks
Silversaga was historically a slow fashion RTW label, as explained in Section 1.1. After the COVID-19 pandemic led to the label transitioning to patterns, the first home-sewn Silversaga garments arose.
The hybrid RTW–home-sewn nature of the taxonomic record of Silversaga garments leads to a taxonomically interesting situation for the LCT-01.
In the simplest of cases, RTW taxonomy typically maps the design, colorway, and wearer to the genus, species, and subspecies respectively; while sewing patterns map the design, option (or view), and individual sewist to the family, genus, and species [15].
The most reliable morphological character identifying Silversaga garment taxa of RTW origin is the presence of a label reading “Silversaga”; see Section 1.4.3.
1.4.1 Species counts
In this section, we describe Fermi estimates for the possible count of genera and species encompassing Silversaga’s patterns.
Pattern testers alone likely contribute some 600–1,050 species to the Silversaga repertoire.
1.4.2 Polyphyletic patterns
As with Nina Lee’s Kew dress, extensively taxonomized in prior monographs published in the Journal, some of these patterns are classified polyphyletically, due to the dispersion of their morphological diversity across the higher-level taxa of the LCT-01.
In this case, the two patterns classified polyphyletically are the Eleonora and Ella. The sleeved Eleonora falls under the family Argenteleonoridae (Section 2.9), while the sleeveless Eleonora falls under the family Heleonoridae (Section 2.14).
1.4.3 The physical Silversaga label
Invariably, all Silversaga garments from the RTW period worn by third parties feature a label. The label is white, with the word “Silversaga” set in all-caps, with spaced letters, and is positioned on the superiormost medial point of the garment’s dorsal interior surface.
The presence of the label is considered a reliable indicator of the garment’s origin from Jessica herself, and by extension, possible origin from the RTW period. Whether Jessica attaches these labels to her own garments for daily wear or otherwise personal posession is unknown. As such, it may be used to reliably date a garment in a third party’s posession from 2018–2022, and any garment in Jessica’s posession from the early 2000s onward,
1.4.4 Varieties and forms
The LCT-01 makes significant use of infrageneric and subspecific taxa, especially in these monographs. We use the subgenus, section, and series, variety, and form in their botanical sense. RTW instances of Silversaga taxa use subspecies. We use the zoological convention for subspecies; unlike botany, we do not use the subsp. or ssp. particle.
The variety corresponds to individual, often irreversible small variations in the dress, such as fabric modification (e.g. Argenteleonora bethanae, Section 2.9.6.1; var. athea and var. brunalana), trimming, or alterations.
The form corresponds to the positioning of the dress on the human body or the status of easily reversible configurations (e.g. button fastening, tied or untied ribbons, or sleeves pulled downward, lateral to the upper arm).
The LCT-01 makes use of the “blessed form” doctrine; for example, a dress such as the Clara can be worn on or off-shoulder. If it were worn off-shoulder, it would be considered part of the class Umerostentida, subclass Alourida; while if it were worn on-shoulder, it would fall in the class Isotrapezia.
Designer intent is that the sleeves are worn on the shoulder, though the product page explicitly acknowledges the off-shoulder configuration (and notes that it is breastfeeding-friendly). As the on-shoulder form is most common, the Argenclaridae are placed within the class Isotrapezia.
1.4.5 Taxonomic history
Our lead author discovered Silversaga through the American sewist Madeleine Salisbury (Instagram: @made_by_madeleine.claire).
During the early taxonomization of Jessica’s patterns, the LCT-01 began using infrageneric taxa; ranks below genus but above species, such as subgenera and sections, due to the increasing awkwardness of incorporating an increasing amount of characters in the genus name itself.
Originally, we intended for this paper to only cover the Eleonora dress (Argenteleonoridae) and its sleeveless variant (Heleonoridae); but later decided to expand to the other garments within Silversaga’s repertoire.
We later narrowed the scope to focus on breadth rather than depth; in this monograph, we describe a small representative sample of anywhere from 5–20 species from each family, or the entirety of Silversaga’s pattern testing gallery; as our team consists solely of one author, who wanted to prevent potential burnout.
In early May 2026, the author conducted a revision of the Helistola tree, intended to replace its current division into four orders, one for each distinct designer. The analysis, which the author hopes to publish in a separate paper, used a mixture of most parsimonious and most likely tree inferences.
We also further narrowed the scope slightly to accomodate a publication date within May, due to the regrettable time constraints on our author’s part.
1.4.6 Genera abbreviations
We use the following abbreviations for the genera we describe:
- Ac. — Argenclara
- Ae. — Argenteleonora
- H. — Heleonora
- J. — Julietta
- T. — Trunclara
- Ta. — Tanaflora
1.5 Liberty
Liberty (https://libertylondon.com) is a British department store on Great Marlborough Street in the West End of London. Liberty sells fashion products and homewares, and most relevant to the monograph, fabrics. One of its collections, the Tana Lawn cotton, represents one of the largest fabric taxa in the fabric taxonomy of the LCT-01, still undeveloped. Some relevant species are described in Section 3.1.
Liberty’s website uses the Amplience content management system (https://amplience.com), as written in a case study [17], and as inferred from the host i8.amplience.net being used to load images.
amplience.net does not block retrievals using Wget or cURL, however, it blocks the Wayback Machine for unknown reasons. The Wayback Machine returns the error “Save Page Now could not capture this URL because it was unreachable. If the site is online, it may be blocking access from our service.”. The LCT-01’s standard citation practice of providing a SHA2-256 hash and linking both to the original and to the IA is infeasible as a result of this issue.
Amplience provides date information for images through the x-amp-published header; retrieving https://i8.amplience.net/i/liberty/000544799-R124365006-1 using curl with the --head option returns the header x-amp-published: Wed, 05 May 2021 14:46:01 GMT. However, this date information conflicts with the DateOriginal field in the aforementioned image, which claims an original date of 2017-01-24 12:01:26.
Backup copies of holotype images are available on the lead author’s servers. Contact the corresponding author to make a request if the original URL is no longer functional.
1.6 Materials and methods
1.6.1 Equipment and software
The author conducted his research on a computer running Ubuntu 24.04, with the XFCE desktop environment. He used the SHA2-256 algorithms to compute the cryptographic hashes of the photographic specimens he examined for species descriptions. He used Firefox 139.0.4. His monitor is a 55.8 cm (22 in) wide, 30.48 cm (12 in) tall, 63.5 cm (25 in) diagonal monitor, the NVISION S2515-B 25” IPS with a 100Hz refresh rate. He is not colorblind. He is near sighted and wears glasses.
See Figure 3 for sha256sum, ffmpeg, and openssl hashes.
1.6.2 Specimen locations
Specimens were collected from Silversaga Patterns’ website (https://silversagapatterns.com); with a focus on the pattern tester galleries. The Silversaga Patterns website uses Shopify as its underlying platform and image storage; EXIF metadata removal is likely consistent with internal Shopify server-side upload processing code.
The Silversaga Patterns account features numerous Instagram stories where Jessica has compiled large numbers of other makes; this represents the largest, albeit second highest-quality source.
This source is considered lower-quality than the Silversaga Patterns website; as explained in [18], Meta’s CDN is hostile to reproducibility. Though URLs can be captured by the Internet Archive immediately after generation, the URLs are invariably long, taking up more space in monograph documents.
Silversaga typically names these story groups with the name of the featured pattern followed by a number. However, she has reused multiple pattern–number combinations; there exists two story groups named Clara 8.
Furthermore, Imginn’s interface prevents direct linkage of each individual story to a citable Instagram URL. Thus, we instead used the handles visible within the stories to locate the original Instagram posts containing the species.
1.6.3 Images
As our lead author had no Instagram account at the start of the monograph, he used Imginn, an online service that allows Instagram to be viewed without an account. He eventually created an Instagram account at @lemuriaph on April 16, 2026, to access numerous public accounts that were unavailable through Imginn.
Images were hashed with the SHA2-256 algorithms, using the sha256sum utility on his system. The versions of the sha256sum and openssl utilities on his system at the time of the paper are given in Figure 3.
The images were of exceptionally high quality; resolutions as high as 4000×2667 were collected. The majority of the images were in JPG format; some images were stored in the HEIC format.
To check EXIF metadata, ExifTool version 12.76 was used. YouTube videos were retrieved using yt-dlp version 2026.03.13.083652; git commit hash 496c0e4319db4359aebd8d3270b681c890cafa28.
We inferred the approximate dates of some pattern releases, with maximum confidence in the year and month, with absolutely none on the day, by retrieving sitemaps from the Silversaga website, which we include in supplementary data.
1.6.4 Annotations
We also provide annotations of certain holotype images to explain their construction and terms we have coined for reference to specific parts of the dress. We note that these terms will almost certainly differ from sewing terms or the terms used by Jessica in the patterns themselves. For copyright purposes, we only provide these annotations standalone; we include a URL for the original image to allow the user to retrieve and stitch the final annotation themselves.
A mostly abridged guide for viewing these annotations with the original images is as follows:
- Download the annotation SVG file.
- Open the SVG file and find a URL in the top right corner. Download that URL and save the image to the same folder as the SVG file.
- Close and reopen the SVG file to see the final form of the annotation with the image in the background.
As an example, we provide an annotation for Argenclara baumgartia in Figure 2.

1.6.5 YML and TTL files
In the supplementary data, we include both YML and TTL files. The YML files are already a well-established data format; while the TTL files (which represent triples in Turtle format), are part of the new experimental LCT-01 Holotype Standard (LHS), a new RDF-based ontology for representing LCT-01 data; not just holotypes, but species, and perhaps patterns too. We make no guarantee of the usability of the TTL files, or to possible ontological changes.
1.7 Trees
We provide several overview trees of the Silversaga taxa.

Manubristenta Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the kingdom Abtruncusa.
Diagnosis: Phenetically, Manubristenta is characterized by the exposure of the skin superficial to the manubrium, the superior (upper) part of the sternum (breastbone), and covered shoulders.
2.2 Class Isotrapezia
Isotrapezia Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the phylum Manubristenta.
Diagnosis: Isotrapezia is characterized by a neckline with a shape resembling an isosceles trapezoid (or trapezium); where the neckline is wider superiorly and narrows inferiorly.
2.3 Order Isargenta
Isargenta Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the class Isotrapezia.
Identification key

2.4 Family Argenclaridae
Argenclaridae Lemuria, 2026; familia nova
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the order Isargenta.
Diagnosis: Argenclaridae is characterized by an adjustable neckline with elastic channel allowing off/on-shoulder configuration; two elastic channels, one within the inframammary region inferior to the bust (superior elastic channel), and one at the hips, acting as the bodice–skirt seam. The neckline is asymmetric in height across the two sides of the coronal plane.
Its sleeves are gathered at the proximal end and directly connected to the bodice, voluminous across the upper arm, with a cuff-like1 gather at the elbow, before flaring out and terminating at the medial point between the elbow and wrist.
Its skirt terminates inferior to the knee and features bilateral pockets within the lateral seams.
Phylogenetically, Argenclaridae is characterized by origin from the Clara sewing pattern by Silversaga.
Remarks: The Clara originated during the RTW period. It was her best-selling design during the summer/spring 2021 and summer/spring 2022 collections. Preorders began in April 2021.
Silversaga recruited pattern testers for the Clara from August 3 to 7, 2023. She received ~160 applications, an unknown number of which were accepted. On August 25, 2023, the Clara was released.
Design. Silversaga cites Victorian chemise dresses as the inspiration for the Clara.

2.4.1.8 Argenclara fenae
Argenclara fenae Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Argenclara fenae is characterized by its fabric, a cyan linen bought secondhand from FabMo, a fabric retailer based in Sunnyvale, California.
Remarks: All images of Ac. fenae depict Fena wearing the dress off-shoulder. The blessed form for Argenclara has the sleeves worn on-shoulder. As such, Argenclara fenae is not considered to be within the subclass Alourida Lemuria, 2026; unpublished. Fena sewed the dress in a size 40. See also [30] for Fena’s Instagram post.
Etymology: From Fena + -ae, feminine genitive suffix. Pronounced /fɛ.ˈneɪ/, in line with the endonymic pronunciation of “Fena”, /ˈfɛ.nə/ (or as described on her Instagram profile, “like feta”.)
Specimens examined
Photography conditions. The photographs were likely taken outdoors, in a semi-shaded environment. Directional shadows are visible around Fena in all three images to some extent.

2.4.1.9 Argenclara gratia
Argenclara gratia Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Argenclara gratia is characterized by its fabric, a solid light sky blue rayon–linen blend.
Remarks: We infer the location of the photographs as either the state of New York or New Jersey, based on the One World Trade Center in the far background of the image, located by looking at the wearer’s right shoulder from her perspective, then looking left, and viewing the faint skyline.
See also Grace’s Instagram post at [13].
Etymology: From Latin gratia (“kindness, favor, esteem”), the word from which English grace originated.

2.4.1.10 Argenclara hetheringtonia
Argenclara hetheringtonia Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Argenclara hetheringtonia is characterized by its blue, very slightly transparent fabric, with three distinct building designs, a tree, and other flora.
Remarks: We infer that Emily Hetherington is Australian, based on the tree in the background of all three photographs being consistent with Ficus macrophylla Desf. ex Pers. This was confirmed when we later discovered Hetherington’s Instagram profile, where she self-reports Queensland as her location. Hetherington additionally posted her make to Instagram [33]. Silversaga gallery preferred for reproducibility.
Etymology: From Hetherington + -ia.

2.5 Family Juliettidae
Juliettidae Lemuria, 2026; familia nova
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the order Isargenta.
Diagnosis: Juliettidae is characterized by an adjustable neckline with elastic channel allowing off/on-shoulder configuration, a ventral medial button row of ~18 buttons, pleats at the waist, and voluminous balloon sleeves with proximal gathers and terminates in a distal elastic cuff at the wrist.
Discontinuous belt near transpyloric plane with ventral medial tie, wedge-shaped ends at edges, typically draped medially along skirt, often obscuring ventral medial button row.
Skirt with A-line flare, terminating superior to ankle (maxi-length), optional bilateral pockets. Ventral medial slit inferior to ventral medial button row.
Optional hidden snap at inferior portion of skirt, inferior to ventral medial button row. Information second-hand from pattern through [40].
Remarks: After a month off work, on November 6, 2023, Silversaga began recruiting pattern testers for the Juliette [41]. She closed applications on November 14, 2023. On December 2, 2023, the Juliette was released.
The belt, with its ventral medial tie, is often draped over the ventral medial button row in many holotype images, which can prevent accurate counts of the number of buttons.
Design. Jessica cites the peasant dress as inspiration for the Juliette.
Making. Silversaga recommends a lightweight structured fabric, including but not limited to cotton, linen, and some blends. Silversaga designed the dress to be cut from 130 cm (51 in) wide fabric. Estimated fabric use, low estimates: 4.45 m (57,850 cm2) at EU34, 5.65 m at EU50 (73,450 cm2).
Etymology: Juliette + -idae, family suffix.
Type genus: Julietta Lemuria, 2026; gen. nov.
2.5.1 Genus Julietta
Julietta Lemuria, 2026; gen. nov.
Diagnosis: Julietta is the sensu stricto genus of Juliettidae. Julietta is characterized by origin from the Juliette pattern with minimal divergence.
Etymology: Juliette + -a to Latinize it.
Type species: Julietta alexisae
2.5.1.1 Julietta alexisae
Julietta alexisae Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.

2.5.1.3 Julietta ariae
Julietta ariae Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Julietta ariae is characterized by its fabric, a slub linen rayon blend from JoAnn, dyed twice in “woodland” from Rit dye; the resulting color is light forest green. It deviates from the pattern with a ventral medial row of only 12 buttons, and sleeves 1 in (2.54 cm) shorter. Yellow buttons, unknown reflective material; four thread holes.
Remarks: Aria only sewed 12 buttons due to either her energy levels or button supply having depleted. She remarks that the dress, despite its lower button count, has not significantly spread apart such as to constitute a wardrobe malfunction; and that she may decide to retain the button count of 12. See [46] for Aria’s original Instagram post.
Etymology: From Aria + -ae, feminine genitive suffix.
Specimens examined
Photography conditions. All photographs appear to have been taken in outdoor lighting conditions, with no apparent direction of sunlight. Taken in the backyard of a house. Unknown plant in background, closest possible match to Corylus avellana L. (hazel, common hazel, European hazel). The subject’s hair is positioned ventrally; it bilaterally drapes over the bodice, obscuring the ventral medial button row. First, second, third, and fourth buttons unfastened; buttons from fifth button onward fastened.

2.5.1.4 Julietta baumgartia
Julietta baumgartia Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Julietta baumgartia is characterized by its fabric, a navy blue cotton broadcloth of unknown origin; the presence of triangles at the inferior edge of the skirt; while its ventral medial button row features white buttons made of an unknown reflective material, with two thread holes. The thread lines of the buttons are highly variable.
Remarks: Baumgart remarks that the inferior edge triangles were accidental; she had forgotten to attach the skirt pieces before cutting. She remarked how similar situations often occur in vintage garments. See [47] for Baumgart’s Instagram post.
Etymology: From Baumgart + -ia.
Specimens examined
Photography conditions. Just as with Ac. baumgartia, J. baumgartia was taken in the same room, as can be inferred from the floor visible in Baumgart 2023.10485.176. A window is to her right in 176 and 338, through which the sun shines intensely, causing underexposure on the left side of the dress due to dynamic range adjustments. 662 is a tighter crop, though the shadow to her left still leads to underexposure. The pixels within 176 are significantly grainier than the other two.

2.5.1.5 Julietta julianae
Julietta julianae Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Julietta julianae is characterized by its fabric, an orange–yellow gold fabric with a pattern of two parallel vertical white lines running 90° in a diagonal grid; and its ventral medial button row, consisting of buttons on the wearer’s right. Buttons circular, two thread holes, primarily horizontal thread line. Possible white thread. Reflectivity unknown. Subtle black–brown–gray marks, faint, across button surface.
Remarks: Rucker remarked that the color of the dress varies by lighting conditions; stating that it ranges between “yellow gold” and “orange”. From the lead author’s monitor configuration and visual system (as detailed in Section 1.6.1), J. julianae appears to have an orange fabric.
Etymology: From Juliana + -ae, feminine genitive suffix.
Specimens examined
Photography conditions. All four photographs appear to have been taken indoors, with a curtain to Rucker’s left.

2.9.1 Genus Argenteleonora
Argenteleonora Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Description: Curved square neckline, elastic at neck edge. Fabric gathered superior to the neck edge, and at distal end of sleeves. Raglan sleeves, rather voluminous. Two ventral medial ties, one originating at neckline, another roughly at the transpyloric plane. At waist, invariably, one elasticated channel at bodice–skirt seam. By itself, sect. Unilastica (Section 2.9.5); with option of additional channel directly inferior to bust (sect. Duolastica, Section 2.9.6). Both options under subg. Elastica, Section 2.9.4. Cinched bodice with shirring also available (subg. Shira, Section 2.9.2). Skirt terminates inferior to knee, at medial point between ankle and knee, roughly at mid-calf region, described by Silversaga as midi-length. Skirt flares outward, four panels, with hiden pockets. Seam slightly 1–2 cm superior to hemline.

Alternate key (view-based): These provide alternative entry points into the key when classifying based on the three views provided by Silversaga.
- 100
- View of Eleonora dress used: A (101), B (102), C (103)
- 101
- View A: Argenteleonora sect. Unilastica (04).
- 102
- View B: Argenteleonora sect. Duolastica (06)
- 103
- View C: Argenteleonora subg. Shira (02)
Remarks: Argenteleonora is the sensu stricto genus of the family Argenteleonoridae, covering specimens with the least amount of deviation from the pattern. Silversaga cites the “classic” chemise dress3 as the inspiration for the Eleonora [53].
The sleeved Eleonora dress predates the sewing pattern period; numerous instances of the dress exist that have morphology consistent with RTW, most notably a Silversaga label on the superior medial point of the dress’s dorsal interior. This label is by far the most reliable indicator of the RTW period.
The Argenteleonora are divided into three views by Silversaga: views A, B, and C. Refer to couplet 100 of identification key.
2.9.2 Argenteleonora subg. Shira
Taxonomic placement: Placed in Argenteleonora.
Diagnosis: Argenteleonora subg. Shira is distinguished from subg. Elastica by its shirring at the inferior portion of the bodice.

2.9.3 Argenteleonora sect. Plesichia
Argenteleonora section Plesichia Lemuria, 2026; sectio nova
Diagnosis: Argenteleonora sect. Plesichia is characterized by similarity to the Ischia dress from Dôen (stylized in allcaps).
Remarks: There exist significant similarities between the Argenteleonoridae, the Milalilianidae (Liliana dress, MilaOnni), and the Donischidae (Ischia dress, Dôen, ready-to-wear). The three dresses most likely obtained their similarity through convergent evolution or the trends at the time the designs were first created.

2.9.6.1 Argenteleonora bethanae
Argenteleonora bethanae Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Diagnosis: Argenteleonora bethanae is characterized by its fabric, a cotton dimity lawn from Lyrical Fabrics, dyed off-white with tea.
Remarks: Bethany made the dress in size EU 38 (US 8, UK 10). She cut two skirt panels at the full width of the fabric (55 in; ~139.7 cm), as opposed to the four panels specified by the pattern [8, Eleonora Dress].
Tea fabric. In April 2024, Bethany dyed Argenteleonora bethanae in tea to diminish its fabric’s bright white color to a slight off-white brown. [54].
Bethany used 114 packets of English Breakfast black tea from Benner Tea Co, placed in a pot with 3.8 liters of water. Black tea most likely from leaves of Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze. Tea bags were gradually added to the boiling water, which was steeped for 15 minutes with occasional stirring. A strainer was then used to remove the tea bags. The tea was strained through scrap fabric into a large bowl. Bethany recommends a loosely woven fabric such as cheesecloth for straining, and the use of a stainless steel bowl to prevent tea stains. [54].
Argenteleonora bethanae was submerged in a sink with 15 liters of hot water, mixed with five cups (est. 1182.941 ml) of white vinegar, a roughly 15:1 hot water–vinegar ratio [54], which diverged from the 1:4 ratio recommended by [55].
The tea was then poured into a plastic tub, then diluted with three pots (est. 12 liters; fill height unknown) of water. Argenteleonora bethanae was then submerged in the tea. It was pushed deeper into the water to remove air bubbles and swirled continuously for 15 minutes to ensure even dispersion of the tea dye across the dress. The dress was then held over a sink and rinsed with cool water until the water ran clear. [54].
In [55], which Bethany cites, the fabric was soaked in a 1:2 ratio of cold water–vinegar and then rinsed. However, Bethany skipped this step due to insufficient vinegar. The dress was then squeezed and placed on a plastic hanger to dry. The dress was then placed in a gentle wash cycle with a mild detergent and dried in a dryer [54].
Bethany wrote her own blog post detailing the process [54], and cited a blog post from the Woodlark Blog [55]. See also her Instagram post at [56].
The change in color of the fabric is perhaps the first example of anagenesis in the LCT-01.
Varieties:
- Argenteleonora bethanae var. brunathea — type variety. From Medieval Latin bruna (“brown”) + New Latin thea (“tea”).
- †Argenteleonora bethanae var. athea — pre-dyed variant. From Greek a- (“no”) + New Latin thea (“tea”). Rendered extinct by anagenesis into var. brunathea as documented in [54].
Etymology: From Bethany + -ae, Latin feminine genitive suffix.

2.9.7 Argenteleonora subsect. Duonoda
Argenteleonora subsection Duonoda Lemuria, 2026; subsectio nova
Diagnosis: Argenteleonora subsect. Duonoda is characterized by the presence of two ventral medial ties on both elastic channels.
Etymology: From duo (“two”) + noda, pseudo-Latin feminine form of nodus (“knot”), altered as nodus is grammatically masculine, while Argenteleonora is grammatically feminine.
2.9.7.1 Argenteleonora candida
Argenteleonora candida Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Argenteleonora candida is characterized by its white color, and a Silversaga label on the superior medial point of its dorsal interior surface.
Remarks: The placement of Argenteleonora candida is certain within Argenteleonora, while infrageneric placement is uncertain. A. candida is one of the ready-to-wear species of Argenteleonora. As such, there exist two phylogenetic origins for an Argenteleonora species: either sewn at home from the pattern, or sewn by the Estonian atelier.
Etymology: From Latin candida, feminine form of candidus (“white, shining white”), from the dress’s solid white color.
Synonyms: In older documents, Ae. candiga Lemuria, 2026; due to misremembered terms.
Subspecies:
- Ae. c. jessicae Lemuria, 2026; subsp. nov.
- Ae. c. natalia Lemuria, 2026; subsp. nov.
Specimens examined
Holotype: Silversaga 2022.58.71804 — Photograph. 2592×3888. Indoor lighting conditions, white background. Likely studio conditions. Subject facing to the right (from camera perspective).

2.10 Phylum Scapunatoria
Scapunatoria Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
We refine the description first provided in [18].
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the kingdom Abtruncusa.
Diagnosis: Phenetically, Scapunatoria is characterized by the exposure of at least one shoulder.
2.11 Subphylum Scapamanica
Scapamanica Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the phylum Scapunatoria.
Diagnosis: Phenetically, Scapamanica is characterized by the presence of at least one strap worn superior to the scapula. It is distinguished from Umerostentida by the absence of shoulder sleeves.
2.12 Class Helistola
Helistola Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
We refine the description first provided in [18].
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the subphylum Scapamanica.
Diagnosis: Phenetically, Helistola is characterized by the presence of bilateral shoulder straps, the exposure of both shoulders, and the lack of sleeves lateral to the arm.
Etymology: From Ancient Greek ἥλῐος (hḗlĭos, “sun”) + Latin stola (“clothing; long dress; stole”).
2.13 Clade Heltruettia
Heltruettia Lemuria, 2026; cladus novus
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the class Helistola.
Description: No closure. Bilateral single straps, not crossing. Lack of ventral medial button row. Gathers/ruffles on bodice and straps. Straight hem, no slits, narrow straps, likely adjustable through neckline elastic channels. Ventral ribbons on neckline and bodice-skirt seam at waist. Square neckline with slightly curved corners. Lack of darts on bodice.
Phylogenetically and cladistically, Heltruettia is the clade that contains both Heleonoridae and Truettidae (unpublished).
Remarks: There exists the potential that the Heltruettia may soon grow to encompass dresses designed in line with the cottagecore aesthetic. However, the LCT-01 uses physical morphology as its primary criteria, as opposed to the intended aesthetic and subculture of a garment.
2.14 Family Heleonoridae
Heleonoridae Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the superfamily Heltruettoidea.
Diagnosis: Phylogenetically, Heleonora is characterized by origin from the Sleeveless Eleonora dress pattern by Jessica Silversaga, and phenetically, by resemblance to the Argenteleonoridae and a lack of sleeves; and from Truettidae by the presence of waist shirring, invariably absent within Truettidae, and one elastic channel as opposed to the invariable 2. Many Heleonoridae spp. often share similarities to the Truett.
Etymology: Portmanteau of Helistola and Eleonora.
Type genus: Heleonora
2.14.1 Genus Heleonora
Heleonora Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in the family Heleonoridae.
Remarks: Heleonora was the first taxon in the LCT-01 to use infrageneric ranks. It uses the same high-level infrageneric structure as Argenteleonora (Section 2.9.1).
Diagnosis: Phylogenetically, Heleonora is the sensu stricto genus of the Heleonoridae, characterized by origin from the Sleeveless Eleonora dress pattern by Jessica Silversaga, and phenetically, by resemblance to the Argenteleonoridae and a lack of sleeves; without significant divergence from the pattern.
Etymology: Portmanteau of Helistola + Eleonora.
Distribution: Worldwide. Significant primary material on the Instagram tags SleevelessEleonoraDressPattern, and through typos, SleevelessEleanoraDressPattern (note the A instead of O). EleonoraDressPattern also contains specimens from both Heleonora and Argenteleonora.
Type species: Heleonora beatricae
2.14.2 Heleonora subg. Shira
Heleonora subgenus Shira Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Diagnosis: Phenetically, Heleonora subg. Shira is characterized by either three or more elastic channels or shirring on the interelastic fabric.
Etymology: Shira is a pseudo-Latin form of English shirr.
Type species: Heleonora beatricae
2.14.2.1 Heleonora anjae
Heleonora anjae Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Heleonora anjae is characterized by its cotton fabric, with a floral handblock print, consisting of blue and pink flowers on a white background, with blue ferns in a curled shape.
Remarks: See [57] for Anja’s original Instagram post.
Etymology: From Anja + -ae, feminine genitive suffix.
Specimens examined
Photography conditions. The photographs were taken outdoors in a natural environment, with a consistently shallow depth of field rendering the background out of focus.

2.14.2.2 Heleonora beatricae
Heleonora beatricae Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Heleonora beatricae is characterized by its fabric, a cotton duvet cover, with a floral print consisting of floral shapes in white against a light blue background. Size 42 C-E cup; bodice 3 cm longer.
Remarks: See [59] for Beatrice’s original Instagram post. A diagram of H. beatricae is available in SVG form, which is used to establish terminology for Heleonora-specific anatomy. See Beatrice_210.1651.annot.svg.
Etymology: From Beatrice + -ae, feminine genitive suffix.

2.14.2.3 Heleonora blantonia
Heleonora blantonia Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Diagnosis: Heleonora blantonia is characterized by its fabric, a solid light pink seersucker, with a subtle horizontal pattern consisting of plain flat areas with slight shirring/gathering in-between, purchased from Hobby Lobby at US$3/yd.
Etymology: From Blanton + -ia.
Specimens examined
Photography conditions. The photographs were taken by Blanton’s niece, Hannah Dennis (Hannah.Den.), in a variety of conditions, all outdoors. There exist five distinct environments, Env1 to Env5. Blanton’s hair is short, terminating around the level of the chin; and thus, the neckline is almost never occluded by the hair. Env1. Walkway with concrete and brick flooring. Shallow depth of field with buildings and water tower in background. Env2. Brick wall with dense vegetation. Shallow depth of field. Env3. Brick wall with two black windows/doors barely visible at edge of frame. Env4. Grass surface near walkway with copper-colored building and black doors in background. Env5. Possibly a marina. Boats and apartment complexes in background; very possibly Florida. Blanton has not explicitly disclosed her state or country in her Instagram post.
We also note that the similarity in the design of the railing in environments 1 and 5 suggest that the photographs were taken within the same general area (in a cluster of 1km at most.). No geographic EXIF metadata, consistent with Instagram EXIF purging.

2.14.6 Heleonora subsect. Pseudotruetta
Heleonora subsection Pseudotruetta Lemuria, 2026; subsectio nova
Taxonomic placement: Placed in Heleonora subsect. Duolastica.
Diagnosis: Heleonora subsect. Pseudotruetta is distinguished from other Heleonora spp. phenetically by the presence of contrasting bias binding on the exterior of the dress, rather than the interior.
Heleonora subsect. Pseudotruetta is distinguished from Truetta (unpublished), the Truett dress from Christy Dawn, by phylogenetic origin from the sleeveless Eleonora pattern. Phenetically, a larger corner radius on the neckline may help distinguish, however, numerous Heleonora subsect. Pseudotruetta spp. have been sewn with a square shape intentionally closer to the Truett, making this method unreliable. Fabric may be a more reliable indicator; Truetta spp. encompass only red and pink fabric prints.
Remarks: Heleonora subsect. Pseudotruetta was first developed by Silversaga in October 2025, as a way to replicate the look of the Truetta [75]. That year, the Truett dress from the RTW label Christy Dawn had trended throughout summer, which Silversaga attributed to the contrasting bias binding and ties enabling the showcase of the dress’s morphology.
2.14.6.1 Heleonora trudemelinae
Heleonora trudemelinae Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in Heleonora subsect. Pseudotruetta.
Diagnosis: Heleonora trudemelinae is characterized by its solid dark turquoise bias contrast fabric and a floral fabric, primarily consisting of mostly turquoise flowers, with some purple. Distance between superior and inferior elastic channels vertically narrower compared to Heleonora ser. Annettae spp.
Remarks: Laura Demelin’s Instagram account is private. The only accessible holotype rests on Silversaga’s website.

2.14.7 Heleonora ser. Annettae
Heleonora series Annettae Lemuria, 2026; series nova
Taxonomic placement: Placed in Heleonora subsect. Pseudotruetta.
Diagnosis: Heleonora ser. Annettae is the subset of Heleonora subsect. Pseudotruetta that encompasses all dresses sewn by Annette, an American sewist. See Section 1.2.1 for biographical information.
2.14.7.1 Heleonora truannettae
Heleonora truannettae Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in Heleonora ser. Annettae.
Diagnosis: Heleonora truannettae is characterized by its brown color with white dots and diamond-like shapes; from the usage of “topsy turvy” Jamdani cotton from Merchant & Mills as the main fabric, and vintage solid purple washed lawn from Oak Fabrics as the bias contrast fabric. Diamond shapes narrow with transparent diamond-shaped square inset. Two horizontal lines extruding from square diamond to form vague A-shapes.
Etymology: Truett + Annette + -ae, feminine genitive suffix.
Remarks: Annette’s source materials consistently have the typo *Eleanora for the Eleonora dress.
Annette cut the neckline and shoulder ruffle on the grain, as opposed to the bias. Skirt panels were also cut 81.28 cm (32 in) wide due to lack of fabric.

2.14.7.2 Heleonora monokhromos
Heleonora monokhromos Lemuria, 2026; sp. nov.
Taxonomic placement: Placed in Heleonora ser. Annettae.
Diagnosis: Heleonora monokhromos is characterized by its solid white main fabric with solid black bias contrast fabric, from Oak Fabrics.
Remarks: The tree in the background of the video is possibly a species within Quercus L.; though the possible candidates, Quercus nigra L.; and Quercus imbricaria Michx. 1801 not A.Gray ex A.DC as suggested by image search do not range within Boston, the subject’s known location.
Etymology: From Ancient Greek μονόχρωμος (monókhrōmos; “one color”), from which the English word monochrome originated, due to the black and white color scheme of Heleonora monokhromos.

2.14.8 Heleonora sect. Trilastica
Heleonora section Trilastica Lemuria, 2026; sectio nova
Taxonomic placement: Placed in Heleonora subg. Elastica.
2.14.8.1 Heleonora fraxina
Heleonora fraxina Lemuria, 2026; first public desc.
Taxonomy: Placed in Heleonora sect. Trilastica.
Diagnosis: Heleonora fraxina is characterized by the usage of the fabric Tanaflora betsia (Section 3.1.1.1) and having been sewn by Ashley General.
Remarks: The fabric of Heleonora fraxina is identical to that of Liberashira evae Lemuria, 2026 (unpublished); wb. Eva, 2020; as of May 4, 2026, Tanaflora betsia is the first fabric to have been observed in two species. See [76] for Ashley’s original Instagram post.
We also note that Ashley 931.1763 allowed a clearer view of the garment’s internal morphology, such as its three elastic channels.
Etymology: From Latin fraxina, feminine form of fraxinus (“of ash wood”), as a calque translation of Ashley, itself from Old English **Æsċlēah, composed of æsċ* (“ash tree”) + lēah (“wood, clearing”).

3 Incertae sedis
3.1 Tana
Tana Lemuria, 2026; unranked
Remarks: Though Liberty fabrics are technically out of the scope of this monograph, which is about Silversaga, we include descriptions of some fabrics that have recurred for the first time in the LCT-01. The below taxa are considered incertae sedis within the root of the LCT-01; that is, not in domain Vestimentia. Liberty also reuses names for multiple distinct designs; either the barcode (the term used on the Liberty website for an SKU) or LCT-01 binomial name can be used for disambiguation.
On floral prints in general. Biological accuracy is often not a consideration when designers design floral prints. Thus, the jargon used in botanical treatments is unsuitable as-is, and just like many other components of biological taxonomy, will require significant modification to accurately describe the morphology of fabric flowers. Flowers by themselves are not plants; they are the reproductive structures of flowering plants (the clade Angiospermae). Anecdotally, the lead author observes that fabric designers often prioritize the flower over the other parts of a plant; especially in top-down views where the non-flower body is not seen. As such, botanical treatments pertaining to any of the leaves, stems, and roots of an angiosperm are likely to go unused.
Reproducibility. Images from Liberty’s website have serious unresolved reproducibility concerns. See Section 1.5.
Diagrams. We have created diagrams of the features on some of the fabric holotypes. They are intended to be downloaded as is without images. The user can then align the diagram with the images directly obtained from Liberty’s website. We do not embed the files themselves due to copyright concerns.

4 General remarks
4.1 Filenames
Jessica’s naming conventions for pattern tester filenames are consistent at the pattern-level, but inconsistent as a whole.
Many filenames included the names of the pattern testers, which allowed identification of the wearers. However, some patterns used a purely numeric naming convention, which required us to compare and cross-reference both with Silversaga’s Instagram and other holotypes with known filenames to obtain the names of the sewists.
4.2 Person coordinate system
In this document, we use an ad hoc coordinate system modeled on right ascension and declination for describing the direction a specific feature is in from the perspective of the wearer.
We define zero degrees as the direction at which the subject and the camera lens are able to face directly each other.
For photoshoots where the photographer switches position, zero degrees may change. If possible, we may also define the zero degree point as a more consistent landmark that appears in all photographs.
5 Appendix
5.1 Acknowledgements
We thank Jessica Silversaga for her amazing patterns that help bolster a culture of home sewing and advance the slow fashion movement. We thank all the sewists, pattern testers, and the sources we have cited for documenting their projects in intricate detail.
We thank Zoe Edwards for helping start the concept of Me Made May, which has further bolstered a culture of home sewing across the world. Me Made May is described by Edwards as a “wardrobe challenge” [78], though in general, it can be thought of as a time of heightened interest in home sewing and a celebration of homemade; a time of great speciation; and the best time for the Journal to publish monographs and taxonomic treatments of sewing pattern taxa as opposed to RTW taxa.
We thank the people of the Archive Team (https://wiki.archiveteam.org/wiki/Main_Page) for assistance in archiving the Silversaga website and making it available through the Wayback Machine.
We thank the people of the Coffee Shop on 4d2.org, where our lead author has posted fragments of the paper time and time again, for being absolutely wonderful people, and being an extra set of eyes to keep errors shallow under Linus’s law; and we thank Sarah, the operator of 4d2, for fostering such a wonderful space.
We thank one of the Coffee Shop’s members, elypony, who helped double-check the identification of Acer saccharum in the background of the holotype of Argenclara morgania (Section 2.4.1.14). In his freshman year, he took a botany course.
And, we also point out the incredible coincidence that Silversaga is from the same country that gave birth to one of taxonomy’s greatest figures; Carl Linnaeus himself. And now, a Swedish woman and her patterns are the subject of a monograph.
We used R; specifically, ggtree, to render tree figures. For information on ggtree, see [79].

which began as a slow fashion RTW label before transitioning
entirely to sewing patterns in 2023. She has some \textasciitilde200
designs, of which 15 are available for purchase as sewing patterns.
Silversaga’s patterns have attracted a sizeable community of
sewists, mostly on Instagram, who have documented their makes of her
patterns. These makes number in the thousands; too much for a single
taxonomist to singlehandedly catalog. As such, in this monograph, we
focus on breadth instead of depth, by cataloging only a small but
reflective sample of makes; that of the Clara (Argenclaridae),
Eleonora (Argenteleonoridae), and Juliette (Juliettidae). The
diversity and versatility of Silversaga’s designs is reflected in
the 15 families, 5 orders, and countless more genera and
infrageneric taxa dedicated to Silversaga’s patterns, scattered
polyphyletically throughout the kingdom Abtruncusa.}
