Hi Kitty,
First I would recommend the 18th century woman list which is a
Yahoo Group - 18cWoman. There is a concentration of people who just
do that century, so lots of knowledge and information.
Approximately what year of colonial does your friend want?

But of course! There're large women everywhere at every time. And mid 18th

Hi all,
I have a friend who wants to make a colonial costume.
She is as heavy as I am, about as wide as she is tall in the body, but
has a short upper body compared to mine.
She wants to do a stomacher to minimize the width, and wonders how her
skirt should look. I can't find any pattern
