Is it me or are the sleeves -- droopy?

I love the mid-90's, the skirt on this pattern seems slightly later,
like maybe a year or three, than the bodice in shape; but maybe it's
just the trim making it look more flared than it actually is. I would
recommend, as a similar pattern, perhaps with fewer
shortcuts/adaptations for the mass mar

Hi Dawn,
I dont know about this, my copy is on its way. Good book i would recomend
with mens fashions is: "Klæder for tid och evighet" by Lena Rangstrøm,
swedish, but gorgeous pictures of real mens costumes. Also "Modelejon" (
Fashion Lions) ditto swedish.
A good american book with lots of fas
This is new, and Wow, I love the sleeves!

The skirt looks a bit odd to me though. Has anyone had a good look at
this yet? Is it based on something real? I see they date it as "circa 1895".

Yes, it works very well. Here in An Tir, I've only gotten a few

humorous, well-meaning people. On the other hand, it seems that, at

"I'm new" is a great defense.
