Oddly enough, I just made a frock two weeks ago, from this Simplicity pattern:
http://www.simplicity.com/p-1806-men-costumes.aspx The seams are all in the right places, which surprised and impressed me. It went together easily, but I used real interfacing, not the iron-on crap the instructions call for, and I pad-stitched the collar. It includes two vests and a shirt, which weren't needed, but they look pretty good, too. An additional advantage of this pattern is that it's locally available and often on sale. (JoAnn's was running a 5 for $5.00 promotion.) Good luck with your project, -Helen/Aidan _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
