Hi,
I have not Blanche Paynes book, but i think i must have it, is it still
available?
It is out of print and has been for a very long time (the 1st edition
with diagrams) but you can find used copies online if you search on the
title.
If it is a danish mantua you are reffering to, it has a pattern draft of
it in: Ellen Andersen "Moden i 1700 årene"
...
This dress is the eldest whole garment in Denmark. It was exhibited last
year on the national museum where they had an exhibition about the
danish manorhouses. It also is very heavy because of the gold threads.
In the underskirt it has pockets - yes real folded pockets in the side
seams. It is my favourite museum dress.
I would love to see any pictures of the original or your reproduction,
or any diagrams you might have.
