"Period Costume for Stage and Screen 1500-1800" by
Jean Hunnisett is the book, and should be in your local library. ;-> If you
have any questions, I'm sure a lot of us can help you out.

How might I get that pattern? Is it in a book I might find at the library?
It seems I need to find the library that has all these costuming books. I
plan a day to go over to Lancaster, PA to visit one of the libraries
recommended for me. I'll ask my local library if they can borrow the ones
we can find in the area.
I appreciate the help. I know what I want to make just not sure how to
MAKE it work.

I have used Ms Hunnisett's 18thC hoop pattern, it balances beautifully!
All I did was scale it up! At the bottom edge mine is 2 yards across.

Thanks. I'll look for that one at the library too.

I have to design a "Mother Ginger" costume for this Christmas play of
the Nutcracker. I have many ideas from various sites. I see how to make
the hoops atand out at different angles. I've thought about this since
the first of December!!!! I work on it in my sleep. I've looked
everywhere for a pattern to use but so far nothing is as large as I
need. BUT some of the pictures I've found have been very helpful.
Yours has helped me to see how to put it together. Any suggestions on
how to make the underpinning hoops or farthingale that is 2-3 yards
across? It has to be large for that character.

If you get a copy of "Period Costume for Stage and Screen 1500-1800" by
Jean Hunnisett there is a pannier pattern in there that you can simply
widen by folding the pattern and cutting extra onto the folded, centre
front and centre back edges. You will have to enlarge the pattern as it
is on a grid, but I am told that you can do this at "copy shops" and on
a computer. I have never done this as I enlarge direct onto pattern
paper, but there are various methods that will work.
