I am working on my first attempts at civil war era and at
corsetry. I am using a pattern from one of the big 4 with some of my
own engineering. I mean bones and a busk and layers geesh.. but it
is coming together. Then I realized I can't finish it until I have a
chemise to wear under it. But I am starting to see the semblance of
a garment so there is hope. I have some blue and green plaid silk
kind of a taffeta but not very stiff that I was going to use for the
gown. That should be ok for a civil war I think. I don't really
know too much about that era but I an going to costume college in
August and wanted something in the theme. I was amazed at how many
patterns there are out there for that era at Joanne's I made a
killing at their $1./pattern sale I think it was for simplicity. I
hope I finish on time!
