[Bordermarch] Terry's Italian Ren

[benliz]

Theresa calledthis evening on-her-way-to-armoury meeting in Kileen, 
asking about how to "fit" her Italian Ren bodice in the front "without" 
darts (which are not period.)
It was so good to hear her voice.  She sends loves and misses, the guys 
are fine, and that she will be here Jan 8.  Yippee!
I had a reference book of pattern making to read her and tell her how 
Leah made my black and maroon Ital Ren without darts in the front. I 
also suggested tha Terry do an on-line search for making period Ital Ren 
without using a modern pattern.
 
I figured Caitrin or AmberLea will also know much more about the actual 
construction than I do. If you ladies could please take a few minutes, 
could you give Terry a response.  She is subscribed to this bordermarch 
line.

Ebhilin, who was the seamstress of your georgeous blue/stripe Ital Ren 
with the silver cord trim?  Could you respond to Theresa or put Theresa 
in touch with some help that is more knowledgable than moi?  

Thanks.
Peaceful Night,
Tessa
