Welcome back! I've seen stuff on leading strings in one of my (very few) books on 18th century costuming for reenactors, but nothing for earlier time periods, outside of those embroidered bands in the book on the embroidery of Mary Stuart. There was a recent thread concerning children's clothing and patterns--I'm pretty *sure* it was on this list. Burda as the manufacturer, maybe? It's not something I saved, or paid too much attention to, so hopefully someone can give you more details.... --Sue in Montana
