RLloyd, (sorry, not sure of your actual name),
Could the issue with McCann be perhaps she has a longer waistline than
usual? I know that I am _short_waisted; I'm usually allowing less
bodice length for any pattern I'm using. I'm glad to get your comment
about McCann, as I'm about to (early next year) make her Shinrone
Gown. It got put on a back burner but I'm about ready now.

I have also experienced the difficulties of trying to fit the
historical pattern to the modern body. One of the problems of making
a dress from 'McCanns wonderful researched designs is that the
bodice is too long for the proportion of top and bottom of the
garment.? This is an aesthe
tic problem and not based on measure.
