Thank you Lynn for your advice, TV patterns have a good vibe about
them, people who use them seem satisfied and being that you said they
have good instructions makes me all the more certain that that will be
where my patterns are purchased from. Ageless has all the same patterns
they do, not sure which of their patterns classify as "ageless" as
opposed to TV or folklore patterns, etc. I wonder if there is a haute
couture's secret dressmaking and design bible floating around somewhere
from way back when that has all the good information on how to create a
totally custom style, cause the styles you see reproduced (not to say
there aren't reproductions being made so well you can't tell the
difference) are rarely varied in pattern when there are so many unusual
methods of bustle, skirt, sleeve, drapery and bodice treatments of the
originals. We get to use what is available of printed patterns from
then with inspiration taken from original examples but someone knew how
to create them from their head and that's sweet. Lots of money to the
person who develops the skill of custom pattern drafting in historical
reproduction clothing. :)
Justine.
