HI NANCY!!! This is Becky Rautine. I'm in the same costuming discussion
group. I just saw your post and recognized your name. Maybe I need to just
ask you these questions. You'd be my expert... and within reach of my home.
I will share my sketch of the dress as soon as I get it into the computer.
I'd appreciate any advice you can give a beginner. I'm very good at the
sewing and stitchery, but the period costumes are new to me.
I'm making a Mother Hinger costume for my daughter's ballet this next
Christmas. Any suggestions? It's a robe a la francaise type like Marie
Antoinette puffy one.

Subject: [h-cost] "twice-turned dress"
Martha Cratchet, in "A Christmas Carol", is said to be wearing a
"twice-turned dress." This term is new to me. Does anyone know what it
means? Thanks.
Nancy

"But if by 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind,
someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares
about
the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools,
their
jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who
believes
we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our
policies
abroad, if that is what they mean by 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm
a
'Liberal'." John F. Kennedy, 14 Sept 1960
