RE: [h-cost] Cape May/Morris Co
Though I have heard it refered to as barding, I have been informed by many a horse person that it is comparisons. Supposedly, barding is in reference to horse armour and camparison is the fabric heraldic garments. But online I find horse people calling it barding. http://ilaria.veltri.tripod.com/ http://www.bayrose.org/Poppy_Run/horse_barding_web.pdf -Original Message- On Saturday 16 February 2008, Rickard, Patty wrote: Do they make costumes for horses?

Kimiko It's an abbreviation for dimidio, or half. In this case , di di quarter is 5/8 ounce (one half ounce plus one half of one half ounce). The quarter di is 3/8 ounce (one quarter ounce plus one half of one quarter ounce). There is a table of measures in QEWU on page 242 that gives the meanings of all these abbreviations.

Thank you to Melanie, Rebecca, and Joan for your help with this little question. I can now understand what is going on with my reading! And thanks also Joan for letting me know about the reference in QEWU, I will pull that book out for further info on the measurements. Thanks all again, Kimiko Looking for last minute shopping deals?

[h-cost] Ball dress:
It is that time, I have to plan making not only my first bustle gown, but probably best if I get a bustle era ball gown knocked out of the way since I do not have one. What is a good pattern to start with? I keep finding a pattern on ebay called Buckaroo Bobbins and it is a pattern for a polonaise and bustle skirt but I am not sure if it would be a good pattern, it could be just as unathentic as the one or two incredibly inaccurate patterns produced by the large companies. The polonaise gown looks easy enough but with out any experience it may be alot harder than thought to be. Would it be best to try out that era first with something simple to get the feel for it? When I do make the ball gown, it isn't going to be an easy 1-2-3 peice like my others to date so maybe if there are any bustlers out there you could share some hints on how to get started and what to avoid/try.

Re: [h-cost] Ball dress:
My two censts is that you peruse the Truly Victorian website. They focus on the bustle era. Their patterns are well researched, fit very well and have excellent instructions. They have everything you'll need, from corset, bustles, underskirts, overskirts and bodices. You can also email them with questions and they are very helpful. Not related but I'm a big fan of their work.
