I can scan pics and send if she needs visual proof - but if she is "all that" which she says she is - she likely has a copy of this book as it is a great visual survey of that time, regardless if you agree with the author on construction or not.
Sarah -----Original Message----- THANK YOU! I was sure I had read that somewhere, but couldn't come up with a reference to suit my friend. If the local group has to have their button holes on the left, fine, but it isn't necessary for authenticity. And I simply don't have time to hand sew miles of loopy braid on the skirt and remake the blouse. Don't you love people who come up with complicated designs two weeks before an event? And that's two gowns, not just one. Thanks for the help.
