I have never seen any good evidence for back lacing of fitted dresses in the 
period of that fashion (roughly 1350-1450). I have only seen secondary-source 
references, in which costume historians assume that back lacing "must" be 
there in images that don't show front lacing.


If you do find anything solid, please let me know. My working assumption at 
the moment is that back lacing, if it was done at all, was rare and atypical.

Yes charlene, but you will learn eventually, be patiente.
And by the way i could take one thread of the time out of a 5 meter skein, 
just use a lot of floorspace and hold your tongue in the center of your face 
:-)

Bjarne,

O.K.  I have it now.  You don't have to move the whole frame, just the 
circular part--still a pain.


As Claudine suggested, I will clamp my frame to the table. Mine did not come 
with clamps but they are easy enough to find in a hardware store..


And it's floche #16 for the whitework and two strands of ordinary embroidery 
floss for the coloured work. I can just see that getting snagged in the 
needle!  It will also be a chore getting the two strands separated from the 
skein.  You must cut fairly short lengths to accomplish this.


I shall give each a try.

Many thanks for all the suggestions.

Charlene Roberts
