What a great idea! Restoration Hardware and Pier One both had really nice Indian cotton panels a few years ago--sheer with a heavier thread woven in. Four 84" panels were plenty for a Regency dress. They don't seem to carry them any more. Got a set from Target last year--they are okay, but not as good a quality as the others (of course, they were a lot cheaper, too). But I guess quality varied significantly during the era, too. Didn't Jane Austen complain in one of her letters that if you buy the cheap muslin, it falls apart in washing?
