I have an occasion coming up next month where Revolutionary War dress is encouraged, and I have nothing to wear! What I've seen the women wearing locally appears to be from the commercial patterns and I really don't want to do that. Activities in my area range from re-enacting the Battle of Great Bridge in December 1775 to celebrating the Surrender at Yorktown, October 1781. At this point, I don't need a ball gown, but want something in the mid-range with the proper layers. I'm not a member of a re-enactment group, but need to look reasonably authentic.
My experience up to this point has been mainly Elizabethan and before. There are many web-sites for the earlier clothing; are there any with pattern diagrams for the Rev War? What are some good references? Thanks! Cathy _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
