Hi all,
    The thread on lacing was very timely as it got me going again on my late 
1820s outfit so on to the questions.  I'm looking at doing a late 1820s outfit 
from the skin out (I already have Fran's excellent book) and am not finding 
undergarments specifically dated to 1828.  This is a transition period from the 
classical Regency look into the big gigot sleeves so the sleeve heads are large 
but not huge, the waistline has crept down to about the natural waist, maybe a 
little high but not right up under the bust.  Classic Regency corsets are too 
short but a later corset (Edwardian) gives the wrong profile.  Any help with 
links to 1826-1829 garments, particularly undergarment, or good pattern 
recommendations would be appreciated.  Thanks.
