Dearest Gisela, I MUST tell you that you have fallen prey to a serious SCA malady. Many a one has been lead to despair by the 'I-don't-Have-Anything-to-Wear-It-With' syndrome. Even I have such an item (fashioned in fact, by the self-same Ld Skerri!) I'm sure there are many who have the 'apron dress' pattern you need or you can avail yourself of the ones on the 'net. Happy Hunting! Aoife
