What part of the 1870s do you mean?
I mean early 1870s, and sorry, Fran, but I don't want to go to all the work of
enlarging something--my time is so limited for this project that I definitely
want a full-sized, printed pattern that I can more or less run with! Besides,
as I said, for Steampunk, I am fortunately not as bound to 100% authenticity as
I might be for another time and place.

What part of the 1870s do you mean? The "natural form" of the later
870s does include overskirts and yes, even bustles, but it is overall a
arrower silhouette than that of the early and mid 1870s.
I put many patterns for the late 1860s in my book Reconstruction Era
ashions, and many late 1870s and early 1880s patterns in my two-volume
ork Fashions of the Gilded Age.

Okay, folks, I may be getting a Steampunk urge, since a big event is right up
he road in May. I long ago wanted to do an 1870s bustle style and this seems
ike a good opportunity.
