Thanks Ladies! I'm trying to stick to modern copies of original garments. Getting stuff out of period sources is outside of the scope of what I want to cover in this workshop. I only have three hours so I need to use them wisely.

Thanks Fran for your carefully scaled patterns.? I have used them successfully for myself and for my "Costumes in Miniature"? The scale works both ways!

I put scaled diagrams in my books Reconstruction Era Fashions, and both volumes of Fashions of the Gilded Age. Other books with scaled diagrams include: Baumgarten, Linda and John Watson. /Costume Close-Up: Clothing Construction and Pattern 1750-1790./ New York: Costume & Fashion Press, 1999.
