I have used Ms Hunnisett's 18thC hoop pattern, it balances beautifully! All
I did was scale it up! At the bottom edge mine is 2 yards across.

Thanks. I'll look for that one at the library too.

I have to design a "Mother Ginger" costume for this Christmas play of the
Nutcracker. I have many ideas from various sites. I see how to make the
hoops atand out at different angles. I've thought about this since the
first of December!!!! I work on it in my sleep. I've looked everywhere
for a pattern to use but so far nothing is as large as I need. BUT some
of the pictures I've found have been very helpful.
Yours has helped me to see how to put it together. Any suggestions on how
to make the underpinning hoops or farthingale that is 2-3 yards across?
It has to be large for that character.

If you get a copy of "Period Costume for Stage and Screen 1500-1800" by
Jean Hunnisett there is a pannier pattern in there that you can simply
widen by folding the pattern and cutting extra onto the folded, centre
front and centre back edges. You will have to enlarge the pattern as it
is on a grid, but I am told that you can do this at "copy shops" and on a
computer. I have never done this as I enlarge direct onto pattern paper,
but there are various methods that will work.
