Re: [h-cost] robe a la francaise
Hi Becky, Is it an oval pannier you are looking for? Should it be straight at the top, or curved in the sides? If you are going to make such a huge frame, i would suggest you to use another hoop wire. I have used Wissners krinoline wire in the heavy weights, but if your frame is going to be straight in top, it will not hold. I would suggest you to use a thick cane in stead. Jean Hunnisets panniers are good. If you want the french shape, the top hoop hangs two far down. I have altered the frame because i wanted it to be at elbow hight.

Any suggestions on how to make the underpinning hoops or farthingale that is 2-3 yards across? It has to be large for that character. - Original Message - From: Bjarne og Leif Drews [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 5:55 AM Subject: [h-cost] robe a la francaise If you get a copy of Period Costume for Stage and Screen 1500-1800 by Jean Hunnisett there is a pannier pattern in there that you can simply widen by folding the pattern and cutting extra onto the folded, centre front and centre back edges. You will have to enlarge the pattern as it is on a grid, but I am told that you can do this at copy shops and on a computer. I have never done this as I enlarge direct onto pattern paper, but there are various methods that will work.
