You might also want to consider, when you muslin it, tweaking the waist to make it longer. That base pattern is 1860s, which had a waist that was at the natural level or just a tiny bit above it, where as the 1840s were pretty long-waisted. It'll help once you make your dresses! :)Scene in the Pasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152966266473265321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-13022395786053023022013-07-21T19:24:13.001-07:002013-07-21T19:24:13.001-07:00I'm glad you're making good use of your do...I'm glad you're making good use of your down time. Gives you a great excuse to watch all those movies, and spend hours on end searching books and photos online for your research.<br />I'll try and remember to take some photos w/ my cell phone at CoCo and tag you so you can see them on FB. <br />Keep healing! <br />ValTime Traveling in Costumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353351035426201805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-2501706607280733462013-07-21T07:00:33.359-07:002013-07-21T07:00:33.359-07:00You poor thing!
