Farthingale

[Rowan MacD]

When I make Farthingales, I use Heavy 100% Cotton Drapery Lining and Bias Tape for the Boning Channels. No pattern because I draw it out on the fabric.

It's the Hoop wire that is expensive. Which reminds me, I have to order some.

Dos Sophi's still use the Tube? I saw one of her Farthingales back in 2004 at a Trade Show and was not overly impressed with the Tubing she used.

I ordered 2garments of hers,NOT IMPRESSED at all ,,,
Never ordered again

By contrast,  I've never had a bad experience with SS.  I have only bought chemises and skirts (5+thus far) but they have all been way better made than any of the imported crap.
  For gowns I stick with Likely Lotus, and I buy from their shoppe at the DMRF.
