Wow, that is one of the muddiest copies I've ever seen of this lovely image. It's like someone deliberately made it into a watercolor image or something, so much of the detail is blurred. There is a nice color version in crisp detail available in _Dress in Ireland_ by Mairead Dunlevy. I wo

Stupid me. I got so involved looking for the picture I forgot the date you were looking for was the 80s. This is, of course, the 60s. Never mind. MaggiRos --- MaggiRos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have this one in a book > http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/images/Fitzgerald,Elizabeth(CLincoln)02.j

[h-cost] Circular cloak hems - what do you do?

Sorry for the cross posts all. I'v just made a middle class full length full circle cape. Of course over the shoulder the cape length is shorter. Do most people hem the rest of the cape to match that length or do they just do an even hem all 'round and allow it to be longer in front and back?
