Usually not the cuffs, unless the person I'm sewing for puts a lot of stress on that seam, but certainly on the side slits.
I will do a bar tack on the seams where they open at the cuffs.... which is not a bride of course. And the side slits usually have a small gusset set into where they start to take the stress. But I also, if I have time, will do a bar tack at the points of all the gussets. I dunno if it's period or not but I'll bet it was done. It's just too sensible. -----Original Message----- From: Carmen Beaudry <moreplen...@earthlink.net> To: Historical Costume <h-cost...@indra.com> Sent: Thu, Jul 1, 2010 11:07 am Subject: Re: [h-cost] Secondary question - bride ? > That would certainly reinforce it.
