My dressform is still wearing Dürer´s
"Nürnbergerin im Hauskleid". I finished it in
June for my master craftswoman degree in
costuming and still found no place to store the
pleated apron. Here´s a picture of the costume
"in action": http://s6.directupload.net/file/d/1464/aob843cf_jpg.htm :-)
On top of that, there´s my boyfriend´s cotehardie
for SCA-wear. I cut it two years ago, since then
I learned about proper fitting, and now I need to re-model it...
And then there are two modern panties, which I
want to attach to blouses. I´ve seen blouses with
attached panties with snap fasteners between the
legs and was intrigued- I *hate* it when my tops creep out of my bottoms!

I think you're supposed to be wearing 3" to 4" heels with any pair of pants.
There's no accounting for the other proportional issues. I'm 5'3" and too
wide in my middle aged middle so petit pants are too short in the crotch and
average ones are 4 inches too long in the leg.
