About 2 years ago for Costume College I made the Artistic Reform Dress from the La Mode Bagatelle pattern bought from Ravenrook. I loved it and the instructions were clear and it gave two versions that could be made.

They are actually very comfortable to wear. Or look into corded stays rather than boned stays.

Just a thought.

Are there any pictures of women itting down playing music? I've seen women corsetted when standing up laying the violin, but how did they manage playing the piano? Or are my usicians complaining too much? 'm right at the beginning in my research so far. any thanks, ylwen n 21 October 2013 15:48, Elizabeth Jones <[email protected] >wrote: > Hi Aylwen, What have you tried so far? If we know what's already been tried there won't need to be any re-inventing of the wheel. For anything pre-1600 you are fairly safe to skip boning for anyone who isn't extremely high fashion (and musicians paid to perform for a ball definitely weren't high fashion) Elizabeth On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 2:33 PM, Aylwen Gardiner-Garden <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Friends > Our dance group prides itself on wearing historically correct gowns and > undergarments for our dance performances, but it is not comfortable for our > pianist and other musicians.

I have the Regency Wardrobe pattern package, which I've used several times and like. The instructions are pretty good -- better than most of its ilk. It was worth the price. I haven't used this one, but I have a friend who did and I think she was happy with it.

That one is a fantastic pattern and worth the price because it contains patterns for a bunch of different garments with different options. I love it. I haven't used their artistic reform pattern, but if it is like the regency one, it will be a good investment.
