Re: [h-cost] wire frame

[Saragrace Knauf]

I use the heaviest gauge of millinery wire for mine. I am talking about the 
sort of headdress you see in Holbein's Wife of an English Burgher. 
 
There is a photo somewhere in one of my books of a frame (I think it was for a 
collar support) wrapped with fine thread.  It makes sewing the fabric to it 
much easier!
