Sorry about the other post, I hit send accidently :~< If you think the mounting was bad for that one, check this one out: http://www.vintagetextile.com/new_page_431.htm I LOVE this jacket, but it looks so awful there! > If you are interested in more information about dresses from this time > period, check out Janet Arnold's book on this period, I have it but I don't remember too many pictures with construction details.

Thanks! I will look into that. Costume Close-Up has been helpful for construction information but they only have limited close-ups and usually only one per garment. But every little bit helps!
