I've been really curious about that Period Impressions polonaise pattern (say that three times fast, lol). If you use it, please do post snippets of your progress and thoughts on how user friendly and/or accurate it is. The last 18th century dress I made that was similar, but with an En Fourreau back, I had simply draped on my dress form. That blue one of mine: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u49/ViennaRouge/blue.jpg It turned out fine, but I'd really like to have a trustworthy pattern if I'm making something out of the silk I've been saving for such a project. There's a Scarlett Pimpernel ball coming up here in Feb. It's a good excuse to make something new just for the occasion ;-)
