Hello
My name is Sharon Doig and I am going on a textile tour to Gujurat, India. I
like making Victorian, edwardian, 1940's, medieval and tudor gowns and hats.
It's my first trip to India. Does anyone have suggestions, about what kind of
things to buy or look out for when visiting a bizzar
I agree, 30's, raglan sleeve era and those nip tucks under the boobage. But
eally now, velvet? Sigh. This would hang so much better with bias cut bridal
ilk.
Well, there are velvets and velvets--some are pretty slinky. I have a dress
that belonged to my husband's grandmother, very similar
I agree with De. I think it's late 1930's. I've just written Customer

But I agree with the other poster on a different thread who saved her mom's

What to look out for...besides pick-pockets, which I'm sure you've already
thought of. :P
In Gujurat you might find Rajasthani block and roller printed cottons, seeing
as Rajasthan is just a state (or 2?) away. You'll definitely find fancy woven
or beaded or embroidered (or any combination)
Pickpockets.

Not really any more accurate than any historical patterns from the big
companies, but classic 30s.
There was a huge vogue for 'medieval-esque' dresses in the 30s that could
have fitted quite happily in earlier periods (in terms of some design
features).
They were largely made in
Hi,
I've got two magazine boxes (upright-on-the-shelf type) full of Peterson's
Magazines, late 1800's but missing covers and color plates. They're
generally in pretty poor condition. I'd be willing to bet that there are
quite a few surviving copies of Peterson's in much better condition than
Good evening,
Does anybody know where I could buy split rods for making velvet or
other piled fabrics? I mean the ones with a groove to cut the pile
loops?
Thank you!

1. The magazines are yours. You can do whatever you want with them. Why
worry about conforming to other people's unwritten rules?
2. Yes, Peterson's is a very commonly found 19th-century magazine and
Hi Fran,
Well, I just so hate to throw anything out that might have any little tidbit
of historical value. Goes right along with being an incorrigible packrat.
Yes, they're mine. I can do what I want...but it's not easy to toss out
parts!
I too sometimes get sucked into the fiction, not often,
The pattern is not trying to be medievaloid. It's very Hollywood starlette.

I've seen lots of ric-rac sewn together into garments or trim in the
1880s. I've seen at least two entire dresses made this way. I think
it's totally silly, which makes me want enough white ric-rac to do

Aw. Well, thank you... Looks like I'll have to find other ways of doing this.
Any ideas? I'm looking for a short pile, at *most* 3mm.

And you will need to have a narrow ground warp, no more than about
22 wide, due to the limitations of weaving in a fine, stiff
