I think you're thinking of the other sketch. There are two sketches on the Pskov site. One is the main sketch, which shows the overdress hanging in deep folds in the center. The other is a half-size inset sketch, which appears to show three brooches--two tortoise brooches and one smaller round brooch in between them. It's the second sketch I was talking about and that I think Gytha and several others were discussing also. -- Cathy Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny."--Edmund Burke _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
