Hi,
Blanche Payne made a draft pattern of the pannier in her book "History of
Fashion" If some of you saw the exhibition Fashioning Fashion they had a
very intricated pannier pleated into the french shaped pannier, the pannier
of Louisa Ulrika is excactly like this, only larger off cause. It is this
pattern i have had blown up. I made it for a Dollfie doll and it worked very
fine.
I have baught extra wide krinoline steel, its almost an inch wide, and very
stiff.
When the time comes (two manny commissions to make first) i shall off cause
make a website with the projekt.
I plan to contact some castle museums, and ask if they are interrested to
have it exhibitted for some periods, before it goes to Gammel Estrup, who i
plan to donate it to. I make it in the meassures of a girl who is working at
Gammel Estrup. I imagine it is going o look very nice when standing in the
big dansing room there.

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.
Bjarne, Are you engineering the undersupport yourself? I'll be very
interested to learn what needs to be done to support something that
large. Hope you have lots of pictures of all the stages. Kathy
