The tall lace at neckline I believe would be on A but you would most likely have a different closing. The skirt of B would only come the side seams would be to match the pink gown's train. The bodice front would be open more. No darts in the back but back side seams, back neckline would be wider and lower (if doing the "jacket" bodice style). Or use the "skirt" of B and sew on a "waistband" with matching arm loops (or if appliqué' on the train, have it go up and match it on the arm loops. Think simple harness with train attached. The trains were usually ceremonial. http://www.centraalmuseum.nl/database/Item.phtml?ItemId=21&Terug=1 A variation, coat style http://www.musees-nationaux-napoleoniens.org/pages/page_id19241_u1l2.htm I have my doubts about the hook and eyes to hold up the train. I think it will hang funny. De _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
