I have a red and white striped silk taffeta that is too narrow a stripe for me but, a perfect size for her. I wish we had dance groups and the like out here in Minnesota but there isn't much besides the SCA.

[h-cost] Tea Bodice question
I've just purchased the Period Impression Tea Bodice Pattern #403 and am looking for examples in portraits etc. I've seen a few modern examples, but nothing historical, and want to make sure that I make it to the correct period. I can't find any examples in my godeys picture collection either, but it is not too extensive. Does anyone here know of any pictures that can help me in my research? http://www.jamescountry.com/patterns/periodimpressions/new/ppi45.jpg Many thanks, Aylwen ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

I should have asked if anyone has made this pattern - am I way off in my opinion?

Re: [h-cost] Tea Bodice question
I haven't seen anything extant that looks like the PI Tea Bodice, but I've hardly seen every surviving original garment from that time period. My own experience with that pattern line is that they are basically modified modern patterns--the shoulder line, armscye, side seams, and back construction are not consistent with the cut of garments from the time periods they are attempting to portray, so I don't use this particular line. I suppose it depends on if you're looking for a costume or want to make a reproduction that's consistent with extant clothing examples. If you want to make a costume, it doesn't really matter. If you want a reproduction piece consistent with the cut and tailoring of the time period, you won't get it from this pattern. My nickel, for whatever it's worth.

[h-cost] Researching Folk Costumes
I am currently researching costumes/clothing that would have been worn by the Vendish people. Does anyone here know what they might have worn as a special outfit that might now have been considered a folk costume, considering they have now been assimilated into German society.
