It would be snug in the chest area. I have an apron dress that is snug in the bust for a wee bit o' support. The weave of the fabric allows some give so that you can pull it over the head. This is similar to the pattern I made. http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/mjc/sca/aprond.html

De -----Original Message----- Hi, a friend of mine has asked me to sew a viking apron dress for her. But the thing that makes me wonder is that she wants it to be fitted, which would most certainly mean a fastening. Now that's the trouble: I've never heard of any viking fastening but of a brooch or something. Do you know something about that? Were all viking dresses so loose that they didn't need any fastening? If not, what would the fastening be? Many thanks, Zuzana _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
