I'm starting from the skirt pattern of the dress I'm going to make (from
_Moden 1790-1840_ by Ellen Andersen, can't remember the page...am traveling
right now and don't have access to my library). I haven't decided what
percentage of the width to use...since I'm making a c1820 dress, I'm thinking
of making the petticoat pretty full - at least 3/4 of the width of the actual
dress' skirt.
Hope that helps a little, sorry for the delay in responding,
-sunny
