How about the portrait with the young man standing under a tree, by Nicolas

Hi,
My current projekt is making a francaise dress in red silk taffeta.
I have used the cut from a book called "Histoire du Costume" by Maurice
Leloir. It s an old book, and mostly with drawings. I have copied the
drawing of the dress and the pattern draft from the book:

Hello all
I was wondering if anyone could share any knowledge or tips about making
repro regency hats and bonnets. I have tried a number of things over the
years, from buckram brimmed to altering straw hats but I have never been

I have a roll of hat material. It looks like straw wich is wowen by the
yard, but its not natural material. It is used by hat makers. I use it for
