Edwardian LJ community

Huh, you know, there doesn't seem to be an active LJ community for Edwardian fashion that I am aware of. We have several lovely ones for Victorian, which don't complain when Edwardian is included.

Just an observation.

Heather said, "One is the thigh length, coat sleeve, storm collar, fitted coat. The other is the knee length, bell sleeve, notch collar/lapel, semi fitted coat. I am thinking I am going to go ahead and put dart into the other coat and make it fitted too. I really like the fitted look."

The only problem I have with the pattern is that she recommends cotton or calico for the lining. Coats should have a slippery lining so you can easily slip it on or off, shouldn't they? Personally, I'd line it in lining material. Thoughts?
