Thanks, both, for the specifics. That gives me a place to start. I do like the look of the Truly Victorian bodice more than the Wisconsin Historical Society one.

The day bodice went ogether very quickly for me and gave a good result. The skirts did as ell. As for the blouse waist, don't try to make it up in a heavy abric--it's not meant for that (and the result looked kind of weird). - athy Raymond [email protected] "Even imperfection itself may have its ideal or perfect state." -Thomas de Quincey ______________________________________________ -costume mailing list [email protected] ttp://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
