I also did research into early 19th-century pattern rafting for The Lady's Stratagem and described some techniques there. But, although I enjoy doing the research and have done more than I have ublished, there is not a lot of commercial value in it. Publishing atterns yes; the research per se, no.

The guy called it the Sartor system. I think he self published it. It isn't really a historical study, but it might be of interest. ______________________________________________ -costume mailing list -cost...@mail.indra.com ttp://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
