Thank you Ann. That makes perfect sense. All that weight on one point would certainly cause a lot of stress, especially on some types of fabric. I think I know of the Simplicity pattern you are refering to. It is discontinued isn't it? I have seen it for sale on eBay for either a high price, or used and no return reply from the seller when asked if all the pieces were still there. I've just realized that there is an event in three weeks I would like to have an outfit for and would rather not cobble something passable together out of my closet like I did for the first one I attended. Anyone have any hints or suggestions for something quick and easy? I also have a question about linens - specifically the blended and synthetic ones. What sort of successes/failures have been experienced with these fabrics? The local Joann's often has them in 'suit weight' for less than $2.00 a yard and I was thinking this might be good for a first effort at a sideless surcotte. You could try this site for a couple of free patterns. Sally has done her research, and while some people might not agree with her conclusions, I have heard good reports of her patterns. http://www.sallypointer.com/simplemedievaldress Suzi -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
