It was a loose gown, from what I remember. It's in Janet Arnold's book, don't recall which number or page. The loose gown with the cord trim allover and silk appliques. I remember it mentioning paper as the backing when I was making something similar (tho not as complex). Not sure what kind of paper. I went for a modern product instead (steam a seam 2) as I had no desire to use paper for a garment I wanted to wash more often. Amusingly, the gown is not actually washed all that often, so the paper might have been fine. Kimiko Small http://www.kimiko1.com "Be the change you want to see in the world." ~ Ghandi
