The 'dummy' I am working with this week is for a 20" model, seated. The project
is an interpretation of Queen Victoria's portrait in the Diamond Jubilee
gallery.? Black satin with antique lace overlay...even have a small piece of
Honiton to use.? Researching the Crown was lots of fun...didn't know there was
so many resources for this online. The model is dated 1984 and dour enough to
be just right. Thanks again to Fran for pattern shapes!

Subject: Re: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker?'s dummy wearing today?Sure is--my
dummy (well, me, anyway) will be wearing a 1916 envelope chemis
e soon, I hope, and then a nice set of high corsets (yay! patents), and the
n I'll figure out the outfit. ;) All for a trip to exotic & far-away Phoeni
x (really Tempe, AZ) for Costume-Con 30, I hope.
Not Titanic, obviously, but the Great War era has been attracting my resear
ch lately.? Hopefully I won't be too distracted by the Fabulous crochet p
atterns of the era.
Also working on a FFF Show entry, which I haven't said yet I'll enter, but
I don't want to promise what I may not deliver. :(
