One last question for the night:

A friend helped me drape a pattern for an early 17th c. fencing
doublet. For protection and support I want to cord the
lining/interlining like the corset described here:
<http://homepage.mac.com/festive_attyre/research/cording/cord.html >

before adding quilted cotton padding/outer layer.

Does anyone have any experience with possible shrinkage? The site
mentions no exact numbers and that it's highly variable by fabric
type. I'm planning on making the "corseted" part out of cotton canvas.

Thoughts?

Thanks again,

Allison T.
