And lots of tortured bows can be pin on from behind too. It's a shame, since you already have the correct underpinnings and a pattern you know works, you cannot just get some fantastic fabric and make a plain gown to wear. Y'know, not a bunch of flounces and ruffles but a striking stripped down elegant gown is some fabric that is itself the design and the draw...a rich green cut velvet or a red and gold satin brocade. I bet you could whip it up in a matter of hours. But 8 to 10 yards of such fabric adds up fast! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
