I have 2 pr of Oxfords very similar to the Jade referenced one-- only less
ornate. I purchased them at a Clark's shoe store a couple years ago. They

She earned fifty-cents a week, which would buy three yards of
ress goods to make a work dress.
Given that the fabric was probably no wider than 36 inches, I don't see how
three yards would make a dress as described.

Aha. Thank you!
So, in the example (trying to visualize those 12 leaves/6 picks). . . ?

See the next page (Drap de Milord) where it talks about fabric having
12 leaves and 6-12 picks per repeat? Or, Drap de Prince with "8 leaves
and 3 picks."
Are those weaving terms? If so, what do they mean?

I've seen references in Regency novels to dogskin gloves, which I always

I'm directing a production of Conor McPherson's The Seafarer, and one
of the characters claims to be wearing a Versace jacket made of
