Working Women's Flemish

[mrsbrown]

I shouldn't be looking at this stuff - I really need court appropriate garb- that I can pitch tents, watch dishes and feed a baby in, hmmm...

Anyway, doushkasmum wanted to find the Working women's netherlandish that I've talked about a few times. The bodice is made with a single rectangle of fabric.

There are four posts -

I had looked at it this morning thanks to your pointers last night. It looks like it will be easy to make up, only hiccup might be that it may only really work in wool. I suspect the answer is suck it and see.

I was about 1/4 tempted to buy the pattern, I like patterns. $30 US is quite a bit. (+ postage) and I assume I wouldn't get it in time to make it for festival. (Don't need the dress pattern, it was the accessories like the jacket and the hat that were tempting.)

I ordered the pattern (because the jacket is very tempting) I'll bring it along on a Tuesday night for looking at, whenever it arrives.

Ooooh! yes please. I hope the post is fast!

It arrived, the jacket pattern (which I had suspected) seems to be a modified Dungiven-jacket type of pattern.
