Very nice. A friend told me to take a portable lighter along- if you aren't sure if it's polyester, get a sample, take it outside and burn it.

So with her in mind, I am working on a quick guide that she, and others, can print out. I am sure I am leaving out important information so if you could check it out and let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it. The intended audience is re-enactors without much experience with fabrics or sewing. http://www.alfalfapress.com/dress/quickie_textile_guide.html This is my first draft, so any input would be appreciated!! Thanks!!
