Janet doesn’t list brim wire :( I emailed her hoping it’s just the site’s

Thanks, Sharon! I looked at florist wire but decided for the current
application it was much too lightweight!

You can also find wire in different weights at a hardware store. I've also used
picture hanging wire. Again, real millinery wire, with the wrapping, is nicer,
but in a pinch or a hurry, I've used what I can get locally.

Oh, ouch--I see Leko does now have a $79 minimum. Back when I ordered from
them, it was around $25.
Bummer.

Evidently California Millinery Supply is under new management (I seem to
remember a company with that name years ago, but this site says they are new.)
Their website is minimal at this point, so I didn't see information about a
minimum order. They encourage you to fax, call, or email them.
I didn't realize it was the same site someone else mentioned...

The ones I've seen photos of had very small seams turned (and maybe turned
again - I can't remember) on each separate piece and stitched with a
blanket stitch. Then the two pieces were joined by something that looks

This what the Tudor Tailor (TT) has to say about shirts/smocks finishing:
The fact that shirts and smocks were intended to survive regular washing
is evident in the construction of extant examples. The stitches are very
regular and tiny, often so small as to be invisible to the naked eye. The
