Hi all,
I have a friend who wants to make a colonial costume.
She is as heavy as I am, about as wide as she is tall in the body, but
has a short upper body compared to mine.
She wants to do a stomacher to minimize the width, and wonders how her
skirt should look. I can't find any pattern sites with a stomacher for
colonial patterns, and my best guess for her is to make an over skirt to
draw the lace overlay from the stomacher to the skirt and keep the eye
moving and not fixated on the width.
Any other ideas? I'd like to be able to email her some photos or sites
to help her visualize the ideas if anyone has anything to help her.
thanks, Kitty
Oh. she is basically doing an impression, not perfect accuracy. She's
never tried a corset and I'm not sure if I should offer to let her try
mine. LOL I think mine might be too long anyway.
Any help gratefully recieved, thanks, Kitty
