Hi!
First of all, many thanks for the suggestions for the shoulder
decorations, which I have sorted out!
Secondly, just as I solve one problem, I have more questions! At
the end of April, there where some messages about eyelet placing
(safely stored in one of many e-mail folders!), and I wondered if
the same rules apply for my daughters bodice, as Jean Hunnisett
(the pattern is on page 68) seems to have hers matching at the
back, rather than offset, as I have read on this group. The back of
my daughters bodice measures 23cm from top to bottom.
Many Thanks!
Jayne
Remember that Jean Hunnisett's book, while based on making costumes
as accurately as possible from the research she had done, are
actually for the theatre. sometimes, when working in the theatre with
people who do not have the time to learn the "correct" type of
lacing, it is easier to cross-lace, especially if you are touring - I
speak from experience.
By all means use a single lace with off set eyelets if you want to. I
think there are most kinds of lacings on clothing in paintings.
