I dont remember before i left h-costume last, if i told you my plans for making a court dress from 1750ies? I have baught 20 yards of a wonderfull Brunswick&Fils floral silk brokade i want to use for this projekt. Today while i was sitting and sewing on a pannier for a karnival dress, i desided to go to a copy shop here in Copenhagen who has large machines that can blow up patterns. I want to make the pannier worn with Louise Ulrika of Swedens coronation dress. Her pannier is 2 meters wide, but she was a small lady we must remember. I used the center front from waist to ground to calculate the new size its a lady who is 1 m. 20 cm. from waist to ground. I showed the man in the shop the point i wanted to use as blowup, told him i wanted the center front foldline to be 1m. 10 cm. Now i am home and i have off cause tryed to meassure and its going to be about 2 meters wide at waist level, and (my god) 6 m. 80 cm. in cirkumference at the foot bone. I have ben curious about the size for a long time, but i had not dreamed it would be that monster big. I have fabric for it, and its going to be a future projekt, i hope perhaps next year.
