Looks wonderful, Martha. Lovely design.
Is there enough of the back bodice pattern showing that it could be
sized up? Just in case anybody wanted to actually _use_ the
pattern? :) Looked as if that's a piece that isn't quite all there.
The photo is stunning! How big is that hangtag?

The Shippensburg Fashion Archives and Museum has a really nifty tote
bag
(uh, if I do say so myself since I designed it) for sale on their
web site.
http://webspace.ship.edu/fasharch/. The bag's graphics are a
pattern "in
the Janet Arnold manner" for a dress in the SUFAM collection. The
hang tag
is a picture of the actual dress. We're really proud that this bag is
totally manufactured by loving hands in the state of Pennsylvania.
The
printing was done in Chester and the sewing is taking place near
Shippensburg right now. It's 100% cotton canvas - grown in the USA,
though
probably somewhat south of Pennsylvania. All of the profits will go
toward
the preservation and exhibition of garments in the remarkable
collection of
this small museum. There is also a shoe bag and a jewelry bag
available, not
to mention a couple of wonderful catalogues written by the museum's
curator
Dr. Karin Bohleke.
