I just received my order from Fred Struthers' spring catalog, which
included _Louise Augusta Kaerlighedsbarnet_. It's a nice, rather small
book containing color photos of Danish aristocratic and court clothing,
both men's and women's. It includes a couple of pattern diagrams
reprinted from Norah Waugh's _The Cut of Women's Clothes_. And also, a
pattern diagram for an Empire evening gown with multiply puffed sleeves
that is not in Norah Waugh, or any other source I can think of offhand
(I haven't checked all my Danish museum catalogs, though). The text is
in Danish. I don't know if Fred has any left (his website is
www.rlshep.com), but if not, this book may be available from other sources.
