Yes. I've read just about every document on how to make these period
costumes. I searched online for images and dairies for help. I found
the diaries very helpful. I borrowed a copy of Queen Elizabeth's
Wardrobe Unlocked from a library. It had lots of details but not
what I wanted... suggested patterns. Quite a heavy book!
I've seen the eyelet and ribbon attachments on several examples. I
saved where they were and images to a disk so I have a collection of
parts to use for my costume. I have patterns to use for parts and I
guess it'll be a pick-and-choose to get it all like I want.
Have you checked out Margo Anderson's Historic Patterns? She has
complete packages with sizes from 2 to 30. I have the original set
of Ladies' Underpinnings, Ladies' Gown, and Accessories. Her web site
is http://www.margospatterns.com/mainframe.htm .
