I've been away from e-mails for a while, but am trying to re-activate my seemingly dormant creativity by doing something that seems really fun to me. I'm hoping that maybe this will be a project from the cover of a book, but I'm running into an early quandary.
Does anyone have Garment Patterns for the Edwardian Lady by Mrs. Thompson, ed. by Jules & Kaethe Kliot? If so, I'd love to have your thoughts on the cover outfit of that book. I can see a likely pattern for the skirt within the patterns in the book, but I'm not so sure about the jacket, and it is the jacket that I really love. I can probably figure something out for it, if not from this book, then from other sources, but I wanted to make sure first that I am not just overlooking something obvious in the book. Any thoughts most welcome.
