Hello,
I hope somebody can help me a little.
I am draping the toille of the sack backed yellow chenille dress.
Then i have a little problem with the sleave fitting.
Is it ok that my armscye overlaps the shoulderstraps of the stays at
the top? I might have made the shoulderstraps two wide at the top
and wondered if it matters? If i make the armscye to the edge of the
shoulder straps, my sleave dont get the right angle i think.
Any ideas greatly apreciated, thanks
Bjarne

If you have, or can get, a copy of "Period Costume for Stage and
Screen 1500-1800" by Jean Hunnisett published by Players Press, you
will find that she has clear instructions for draping a mantua and
for a sack, with clear drawings (by Janette Haslam). The title is
misleading, as all the patterns are based on thorough research of
original garments wherever possible.
