Hi Cathy, Come join us on 18cLife!
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/18cLife/ Also if you are near Yorktown, you're also close to Williamsburg. Burnley & Trowbridge: http://www.burnleyandtrowbridge.com/ offer wonderful workshops. If there's not a useful one coming up soon, they may be able to direct you to someone in the area who knows how to drape and fit a gown. -Carol > I have an occasion coming up next month where Revolutionary War dress is > encouraged, and I have nothing to wear!
