I love living in NZ. When you say you are having chips for lunch, it's all
in the context.
Well, sometimes we say "hot chips" to distinguish the one kind from the
other. And some people in the South Is
Have used a reed/steel combination for my fully boned 18th century stays. Even
though I used steel only at strategic places (all channels where pieces were
joined together, 4 pieces in front to simulate a small busk and of course at
the back where the lacing is) it is quite heavy.

It just means that the inventory of the wardrobe still exists. We
don't have very many extant (i.e., surviving) clothing pieces.

I used 1/4 inch half round basket making reed. To me it came out nice looking.
and It looks like the pictures's ive seen. Sometimes I used two strips in a
channel, sometimes backed the reed with a piece of steel boning. The reed is
really firm, especially the channels with two pieces.
A good friend of mine is going to Tuscany in April and the
gift-ideas-for-Brits made me wonder if anyone has suggestions for small
gifts she can take that Italians might appreciate?
Also, any must-see costume or embroidery resources in this area that
she can checkout for me :)?
