I'm making good progress (in what little spare time I have) with my 17th
century jacket. The triangular gores worked out all right in the end - thanks
to all those who sent me advice. Now I need to scour the charity shops for some
fur to trim the edge with.

I am working on my first attempts at civil war era and at
corsetry. I am using a pattern from one of the big 4 with some of my
own engineering. I mean bones and a busk and layers geesh.. but it
is coming together. Then I realized I can't finish it until I have a
chemise to wear under it.
