Let's not hold the fact that the author is an East Kingdom Laurel (I
think) against her, eh ;-) ? I, of course, have no prejudices in this
area.

The basic design is great for using virtually all the fabric you'd
need anyway, even for a very simple tunic, and allows for a snugger
fit, but with great freedom of movement, than you'd otherwise get. In
other words, as I mentioned elsewhere, transition from early draped
garments to tailored ones, albeit very simple tailoring. And welcome
to the magic of bias-cut, elastic panels ;-).

Uh, sorry, can't help you with that. All the angels I've ever seen
have been wearing bla... ahem... um... I've never seen an "angel
dress".
