I made up the Laughing Moon Sporting Costume as a bicycling costume but have worn it to a SteamPunk event. It is actually a fun pattern but I did need some help fitting the jacket. The skirt, leggings and spats went together quite easily. I would recommend that you measure your calves before making the spats just in case they are not the right size for you, it's easier to modify them before cutting the fabric! (as is the case with all patterns)
There are actually a few silly pictures of the outfit on this page http://homepage.mac.com/gawne/PhotoAlbum14.html hope that helps...

I plan to do a sporting-type suit, and was wondering if anyone knows about Truly Victorian's split skirt and 183 Riding Habit Bodice or Laughing Moon's 1890's Sporting Costume with Leggings patterns? I have never used either maker, but I am a very experienced historical costumer. Ever, Regina in L.A. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
