Sounds like a fun project, Sheridan! Is there a website or a reference where we could see the "bra finds", and will you post pics of the resulting shift? A Cranach gown has been on my Wanna Do This List for ages. :) Cheers, Meli On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 2:00 PM, Sheridan wrote: > > Currently I'

I already have the Period Patterns one, but my previous experience with them is that it is so much work to refit the pattern that I could just as well create the pattern from scratch. Which I might just do. ;-) Otherwise I may get Kass' german ladies pattern. What did you use? Also, I was
