Hello Mia and others
Now when i am working on an 18th century sack dress i would not mind to draw
some patterns of this dress. I also have the corset pattern and the pannier.
But i made this dress for a tall lady who also has a tall body, but if
someone was interrested, i would not mind to draw a paper pattern to you of
this.
But as i think perhaps more than one would like this, i would like to have a
favour in return.
I should like if you baught some Eterna Stranded silk floss for me in stead
and have the company send for me.
I dont know how much such a pattern would be worth, but it would take about
an hour or so to make each paper pattern.
Let me know if someone was interrested, and please email me
privately...........
Bjarne

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.
