Literature

As I dont read much I have decided to make a late 18th century Fishu - Handkerchief  which I hope to wear with the 1790's Caraco dress (the petticoat and shoes I have already made) and as I dont have the corset made yet so I cannot make the Caraco jacket it should get made soon I hope.   The only thing left to me was the Fishu









I am really sorry about having to put a seam down the middle of the back but I had no choice as 
I did not have that much material.
