Well, if you hadn't been reading the news, last month Topeka, KS renamed itself to Google, KS in hopes of attracting Google's attention and their prototype super-broadband free network project. They obviously got the attention, but I'm wondering if this is a hint they're not in the running for the project. andy ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] 1880's ball dress
Should I ultimately just drape strips of fabric along the edge and sew it down? I would. After the gown is all made up, I would just actually drape what I wanted and baste/ hand sew it on. This is often what they did. And it can be removed or changed later easily of you want. It's not structural so it doesn't need sturdy sewing. Unless you want it somehow coming from a seam or something, I would just treat it as an applied decoration. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] 1880's ballgown
I would be prettier if your strips were cut on the bias. They would drape better and the edges wouldn't have to be finished off, just pressed lightly under.

What period/year 1860's??? Definitely. Even though she's appears to be sitting, the waist looks a tad high. This would put it towards the end of the decade ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
