Thank you Melanie for that clarification. I have the
article in question, but it is in my sewing room pile
of stuff (that I sooo need to clean up), so I hadn't
been able to read it yet.
Also, thanks for the other images to look for. I will
hunt those down, as I know I have one book, and may
have the other (or the library does).
It may not be a general fashion, but it would be nice
to know of alternate styles, if they were really done
then, and not just from a few people's imaginations.
