I passed on this one, cause the back was not even faintly like any 18th Cent
garments I have come into contact with. It did not even meet the "Oh it's
only $1.99/.99 and I can do something with it." criteria. But my direction is
more authentic than costume. I did get the accomanying stays pattern because
is WAS correct in shape.
If you are looking for a good pattern and more in the authentic line, you
would do better with one of the smaller companies. You would even do better
enlarging from a book (yes Bjarne, cutting and draping is easy too, but you
have skills way beyond my humble talents. All I can make without a pattern is
a petticoat!!)
Seems to me I remember hearing rumors that one of the OTHER pattern
companies, Simplicity in the Martha McCain/Fashion Historian line was thinking
about doing something 18 cent. in the near future. That might solve your
availability problems since doesn't Simplicity sell in Australia??.
18c Cent Mia in Charlotte, who was 1890s Mia last weekend.
