Just a heads up. If you follow the first "extra info" link to http://
www.vikinganswerlady.org/, you will get a rather nasty site that
tries to put malware on your computer. I'm on Mac, so it didn't
manage to do bad things, but I had to hard close my browser to leave
the site. If you know who links to that site, you might want them to
update their links.

This is similar to the pattern I made.

I had another site earmarked but can seem to find it.

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
