Fran,
Thank you for showing your true colors once again. I'm sure those on this list
that know exactly who I am are laughing hysterically right now at the idea that
I somehow don't know what I'm talking about. We all needed that good belly
laugh.
After all, it's not like having a garment
Something I've been pondering. In what era/decade/year/location/something else
do you consider there to be a development of a separate fashion for children.
By children I mean potty trained age and over.
In the early 19th century there seemed to be a separate fashion for boys but
not girls
Actually, girls' dresses developed in the last quarter of the late 18th century
and then, it appears, their mothers copied THEM. The Lady's Magazine in 1789
observed, All the sex now--from fifteen to fifty upwards (I should rather say
downwards) appear in their white muslin frocks with broad

Come on ladies, this has degenerated into a cat fight. Move on to some far
more interesting topic.
I would have a problem with someone repurposing wearing something from
400+ years ago. Those textiles are scarce and I, personally, would rather
see them in a museum full size pictures shared on
I'm woefully under-inspired by my half-completed ragtime ballgown. So
under-inspired that I have my nose in the Cosimo di Medici book (Moda

Glad of a change of topic,

I'm finishing up my 18th century stays this weekend and a bum pad. Not very
exciting, but necessary in order to move on to the pretties!

Not costuming related I'm afraid, hopefully this summer. This weekend it
was arguing with bra patterns.

I am finishing off the cuffs on a hand-embroidered frock coat and then
trying to make my too-big 18th century gown fit me for a dance display next
weekend. Wish me luck - I've got an exam on Tuesday night so can't do any
more sewing once I've done these cuffs.
Then I'm back to organising/promoting
Finally finished hemming a neck kerchief for my colonial. That's one
long hem, but I insisted on doing a hand hem.

I've always done a lot of hand hemming and hand finishing, but lately I
am having a hard time not hand sewing. I started hand sewing everything
when my Viking's straight stitch went wonky. There was a period of two
or three months where I took it to repair places who did not fix it
properly.
2 sewing machines are the minimum number a real sewer need. And Bernina is
cream of the crop!

I love my Bernina, but the Viking is also pretty good, now that it has
