I have several sari lengths which I purchased new on the net; many dreams but no firm plans yet. I don't know if I am glad to know of another source or worried!

Can you address "sleeve shapers" a bit? I have seen them before, and can guess how they work, but do you consider them an essental item or optional? If optional, how can I acheive the same effect with more common equipment? Karen Minturn Brown

I didn't get to see the exhibit; I would love to have the book.

I love Claire's instructions; they are always so clear!
