Does anyone have a copy of the yardage for the La Mode Bagetelle
Regency Wardrobe pattern they can scan and email to me? I believe it
is on the back of the envelope, I can't find it in the instruction
booklet.
Many thanks, Aylwen

When an era is the current trend, then we have shoes available, as
well as fabrics and the occasional ready-to-wear item that will do
for the historic look. But yes, shoes especially! Most reenactment
shoes are pricey,
I am studying the Danckaerts system to draw patterns and my teacher
asked me to make a dress from the time she invented the method.
She and her husband created the system in 1895.
I never made anything from this period before.
I found a book The keystone jacket and dress cutter
an 1895 guide to
Period Costume for Stage and Screen: Patterns for Women's Dress 1800 -
1909 by Jean-Hunnisett might help.
