Yep, incredibly cool. I made a large soft sculture doll that wears infant size clothing. When you start the doll you don't know the sex until it just takes on its own as it is finished. Can't say going to make a girl or boy because what you get is what you get just like real life. Enjoyed your site. Lady Von Yeah, it's incredibly cool. (The same sort of technique seems to have been used for beaded-net sarcophagus covers that would include a facial portrait of the deceased.)

Hey, we all have our individual way of sewing. When I think of a garment sewing time I think about everything involved from the laying out of the pattern to the last detail. I thought the garment in question was gorgeous not thinking about the authenticity or anything else, just first impression. I use a regular ol sewing machine and such and I don't sew on a large scale. Those who do are to be complimented for their ability to do such and create beautiful authentic or just Ren garb.

The website didn't say anything, that I recall, about types of seams used, or finishings on the insides, outside of the mention of the dress being half-lined. So I more or less assumed that it was serged or something similar. More labor-intensive, detail-oriented choices would of course take more time! And I certainly wouldn't want anyone doing this sort of work to under-pay themselves! It's just that I've only ever done sewing as either a strictly recreational thing, or in an industrial setting, so my costuming experiences may likely differ from other people, who are doing it on a more of a cottage industry scale. --Sue - Original Message - From: Sylvia Rognstad To: Historical Costume Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 8:25 AM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: gores in skirt in late Middle ages???

Re: [h-cost] Re: gores in skirt in late Middle ages???
Aren't gores the ones that start at the waist and godets the ones that start somewhere around the thigh? Anyone know the difference, if any?

Re: [h-cost] Other resources for 1800's gown
I am constructing a dress simular to this one except my dress has princess front and squared neckline and a detatchable cape. This one is gorgeous. Hope mine looks as good!

What I am specifically looking for are headdresses which would be worn and information which might tell me if the under dress for this gown would have been full length. (I have seen some illustrations that would indicate you could see the lower leg of the woman under the outer dress - and the cut off of the under dress is visible.) Also, does the train necessarily indicate that it was a court dress? Oh and also what the gloves would have been made from? (I have all the standard pattern books, Waugh, Arnold etc. and the standard general histories of costume, Davenport, Payne, Boucher) I just got this one through bookfinders: The Age of Napoleon: Costume from Revolution to Empire, 1789-1815) Any others you would recommend?

Re: [h-cost] white embroidery
It is beautiful! I would wash with liquid specifcally for delicate in cold water. Definitely use a towel and iron from the back. Just be sure everything is smooth before you put the iron to it.
