Simplicity has just released a new mid 1850s pattern
http://www.simplicity.com/dv1_v4.cfm?design=3855 (Simplicity calls it 'Civil
War' but it's clearly a fashionable 1850s style) I'm not questioning the
design (the basic design looks good though the one in the photo doesn't seem
to fit the model all that well, but it wouldn't be the first time a good
dress was let down by photographers who didn't know what it was supposed to
look like) but I was wondering if anybody has heard of the designer, Deborah
Woodbridge? just for curiosity's sake as given the 'museum curator' tag it
looks like they plan to make this part of another set relying on the good
reputation of a particular designer to counteract the fact that it's a big 3
pattern and most major commercial patterns should be avoided if you want
accuracy.
