No worries! I think discussing theories like this is at least half the fun of any hobby. ;o) I would not have thought of attaching bits to the corset strap, but I know that could at least, in part, be attributed to me just not running into examples of it. When I was still wearing 16th century stuff for SCA garb, I always wore a strapless corset, so I tend not to think in strap terms ;o). It would definitely be easier to have those sleeves on (one way or t'other) before the gown-and-epaulets went one, I agree! It would be interesting to do a study or project on something like this, wouldn't it? and compare different methods and results? --Sue
