Okay-I am WAAAAY out of time period that I know anything about, but
I found this beautiful calico that I just HAD to have. I have a
book on appropriate patterns on order from ILL, but I just can't wait! :-D
I am sure it certianly isn't a reproduction calico...I was just
curious what folks do for calico dresses. Is there enough
reproduction calico that you all aren't wearing the same prints, or
do you kind of go for what "looks okay?"
I don't know if I REALLY want to know the answer to the next
question, but I'll ask anyway. :-\ What do you think of this
pattern and colors for a 19th century gown-

I have bought 7.5 yards of it and probably need another 5.
What part of the 19th century are you going for? This one looks like
a decent mid-19th century print for a work dress (won't show dirt too easily).
