Sue Stone@jtheseamstress Am I weird that after seeing this lovely dress and admiring it, the next thing my eyes and brain go for are for clues about how it was constructed? Thanks for sharing!
@knittingknots Not weird at all! In fact, that's what I do too :D I'm often more interested in the construction and the makers rather than the wearers of historical dresses.
@jtheseamstress I do a little historical recreations (at one point I was an active reenactor, and still think like one!) And yes, I love learning about the people and how they did their stuff!
