Hi, this is OT, but I know you guys know a lot. I have been asked by an 8th
grader who is over 6 feet tall to make a graduation dress. She doesn't

Yes, but I was judging just by the general cut of the pattern pieces.
Most of the commercial patterns are designed for the non SCA, non
historically accurate people who want to dress in an approximation, and
the fewer layers they wear, the more comfortable they are. I wasn't
going to slavishly
Actually, you can buy this in any scrapbooking store, or any craft store that
