The Shippensburg Fashion Archives and Museum has a really nifty tote bag
(uh, if I do say so myself since I designed it) for sale on their web site.

Looks wonderful, Martha. Lovely design.
Is there enough of the back bodice pattern showing that it could be

The pattern on the tote bag is just for decorative purposes, so I used the
pieces that fit in artfully.
The pattern for the dress is real, however and one of a series of patterns
Shippensburg Fashion Archives and I (my alter ego Martha McCain) will be
making available next year. The patterns
When we have some of these patterns ready to put on the website, you KNOW
