That's what I'm going to do too. It's just too tempting an idea to say I've made the dress from an actual pattern of the time :-) > I found the side seams of the skirt matched up nicely to the side > back seams of the bodice which meant the fullness of the back of the > skirt is arranged into a very narrow space. This won't work for me, though. The front panels alone are wide enough to go completely around my waist. I'll have to pleat at the sides as well as the back. > http://costumes.glittersweet.com/sca/valoisdiary.htm Wow, cool!

I was thinking it looked English. In any case, it looks Northern to me... Thank you!
