So I'm skeptical about that kind of solution. I agree about being sceptical, but would still consider the possibility og there being a 3rd brooch of some kind. I might have missed something when I was reading, but didn't see any mention of what the body was wearing. Just what was in the box. If that is correct, that leaves 4 options open ; The body is wearing the brooch, it was never in the grave at all,there never was a 3rd brooch or the 3rd possible brooch is more of a multi purpose one worn with different garments. The turtle brooches have a specific function as far as we know and is only used with a certain style of garments. That does not exclude other ornaments being worn with the apron dress. Making a similar aprondress with the same aproximate width, lenght for your own body with the same quality fabrics would probably go a long way to solving the question. Or not. Looking at the width and the fact that the garment would most likely sag if it was folded at the middle front, I'd look for ways to solve this problem. A brooch would do less damage than basting. I would also look at the weight and stiffness of the material to see if that in itself would would keep it folded , unsagging and reasonably flat. And if not, what do I need to do to keep it from sagging without doing damage to the fabric. I'd also like to see whatever other evidence they might have, that makes them draw in the 3rd possible brooch.

[h-cost] fabric search
I am searching for wool (coat or blanket weight) in a red or blue plaid. I'd also accept heavy weight flannel in red or blue plaid. I've looked through all the plaids and the wools at these vendors: fabric.com denverfabric.com joann.com hancock fabrics.com trimfabrics.com as well as the local Joann and Hobby Lobby. We found the perfect *color* plaid at Joann, but the fabric is a slippery, stiff taffeta which won't do. At this point, I'd even buy an appropriately colored polarfleece product, but that would be a last choice. Does anyone have a suggestion about where else to search? Thanks!

Fashionfabricsclub.com (which is now the same as denverfabric.com) and fabric.com get new stuff all the time, so your wool might show up if you can wait a bit and keep checking back--I think they get new mill ends from the retail clothing manufacturers, so the fall-winter stuff should start coming in soon. Class Act Fabrics has a 70% wool 30% nylon blanket weight red plaid right now: http://classactfabrics.com/wool/wool_fabric.htm Renaissance Fabrics http://www.renaissancefabrics.net/cgi-bin/showAll.cgi?section=W has an auburn and green plaid 100% wool. William Booth, Draper, http://wmboothdraper.com/ has a red and white bag hose check in wool.

Re: [h-cost] fabric search
Thank you so much for all the links! The fabric is for my teenage daughter, and if you think sewing for a customer can be a PITA, wait until you try it for a picky teen who lives with you... uhh! She finally decided that the Stewart Tartan plaid is closest to what she wants, but I'm simply not willing to spend $35 to $70 per yard. I really liked that blanket weight piece marked down to $15, but she doesn't like that yellow stripe whine whine whine (see my eyes roll) I will keep all these emails and keep checking the selections to see if any fabris are added to the webstores you have shared with me.
