This looks like the reference book that all designers should have. I want it so bad!!! If I don't win I'll remind my daughters that mothers day is coming up. This would make a great present

Congratulations on drafting and sewing such a good reproduction!! I have worked for 24 years as a "historic costume specialist" at a 1860's living history museum and I don't think I could do any better. You are more than a seamstress you are a clothing historian keep up the great work
