After having thought I'd seen every Henry James film adaptation in existence, I just ran across a "new" one--a 1998 PBS Pictures film of "The American," starring Matthew Modine, Diana Rigg, and others. They took a few liberties with the novel, but it's a good film. It's set in the later 1860s

"The American" is on DVD if anyone wants to see it. It is hard to find on Amazon, there are a ton of films with "American" in the title, but it is there. You could try looking for the stars' names. I have "The Woman in White" on VHS tape. The novel is by Wilkie Collins. He also wrote "The Mo

I have found that with many old corset patterns in general, I have to take in the bust gores considerably. I didn't use this particular pattern, but I did put together another ageless pattern corset and that was the easiest way to fix the problem of the overly-large bust. I can't say that my meas
