1. Be Excellent to each other!
2. Advice, suggestions and Instructions may be freely dispensed here, providing that your words and your work is your own. Otherwise, credit the creator.
3. Feel free to promote business and trade! If you'd like to share your wares, or solicit a commission either is fine.
4. Please don't slander anyone else's work, mock, "spork" or otherwise condemn another person's creation. Criticism should be constructive and you never know who's going to look at something you say on the internet so it's not very nice to giggle and point at strangers.
Nothing everyone didn't know already, I'm sure!

I am in the design phase of what I hope will be in interesting jellyfish kind of costume with a very short teacup shaped hoop skirt. And pretty flounced pantelettes with spiral flounces. Does anyone have any idea how I can stiffen the hanging spiral flounces?

The tail on the vest looks like a mini-bustle kind of thing, I like it. Definite inspiration.
(Sorry for the delay of response. My internet has been down.)

I don't see why not, the waistband has to hit at the high waist though. Maybe Goodwill for a pair. Then just make sure you keep the inseam straight or the legs will look funky.

Looking at the riding pants, I was just wondering if there was an easier way of making those. Do you suppose they could just be made by taking a pair of baggy slacks and taking the fabric in just below the knee?

And here is the link:

It is volume 3. You will need to scroll down a little way to find the download button.
Cheers!

Ms. Quillen,
See if you can find a scanned pdf document called "The Cutters' Practical Guide to the Cutting and Making All Kinds of Trousers, Breeches & Knickers". I think that I found my copy via one of the threads in this Group. If you can't find it, please let me know (it is 13MB so I hesitate to post or mail it). If I am able to find a link, I will post it here for you.
All the Best,
~~ Cruize ~~
