Yep, here is a little more info on it.? I got a peek at the trailer last week
through a friend's livejournal and promptly posted it on my own livejournal and
myspace pages.? I can't wait to see it myself.? I heard through someone that it
had already shown, or part of it had, at a film festival
I am not even going to pretend to know exactly how to dissect how haute couture
works, but the stuff in this show will trickle down to ready to wear.? You will
see elements of it featured in various lines in the malls and discount stores,
such as the beading, hem lengths, sleeve treatments,
Thank you so much.? I really needed that.

This type of fabric is primarily used today for little girl's outfits, as well
as for babies. I guess that is why there is a primarily pastel palette
currently available.

Lovely. That is just what I want to hear when I am walking down the street,

Hey, I have seen the Titanic Musical, and it is wonderful. I saw both the
movie and the musical, and believe me the musical is worth watching, assuming
it is performed by a competent ensemble. The only thing it has in common
with the movie is the name of the ship and a few characters.
I received my copy two days ago, and have already thumbed through it on
multiple occasions.
I have to say that it is wonderful, beautifully illustrated and richly
detailed. The documentation brought a smile, and I was thrilled to see so

It looks to me as if the front could be a very deep sort of box pleat, with the
front edges of the pleat forming the CF of the skirt. I am not basing this on
any knowledge of the period, just how the drawing looks.

I have never really used commercial patterns for historical costuming, but have
drafted my own based on pictures of period pattern pieces. When I bought this
set, I was hoping for more detailed directions, perhaps more period methods of
assembling the garments. I was extremely frustrated
I just bought and made that pattern in November, and found that there were
several corrections to pattern pieces, directions left off in some places, and
at one place outright wrong directions. Off the top, I cannot remember what I

I would use it to make 16th century British dresses for my daughters. Not
nobility, merchant class I suppose. I say this without knowing if the shade
you have is compatible with that time period, but if it is what I am thinking,
then that is what I would do.
