I have made some dresses, and I've avoided the whole lace up thing altogether, as I'm not trying to make a period replica, but rather, to make this style work for every day in my life. I would like to read more about it, though, so I'll look at my library to see if they have the book you mentioned! Thank you very much. Love, Wardeh Carrie, Thank you!

It was the transitional step between the Cyclas and the full-out sideless surcote. Also making your underdresses lace up the back would be a viable option. Most people probably didn't get sewn into their underdresses every day as it would wear out the fabric and fabric was a valuable commodity. Good luck and God bless.

I just bought a shirt yesterday (on sale?) made of merino wool, so I could try it out. They are VERY expensive, so I see why you are making your own. I may have to venture and try that myself. Love, Tiffany <em>Tiffany, there's nothing like sewing with wool! It is easy to sew and to get such quality garments for a fraction of the price is very exciting to me! Enjoy your new shirt! Love, Wardeh</em> Wardeh,

Are you going to make the grey part or both parts. I see the outer part has ties on the side. Are you going to make it like that? It does look comfortable and I am looking forward to seeing it done. :) <em>Michelle, I'm going to make both an underdress and overdress for each of us. I think I will do the ties on the overdress, yes. The underdress will probably be wool. But since I just got the roll of merino wool that I've been waiting on for a couple of months, I'll have to make baselayer tee-shirts for my husband and the rest of us first.
