Well, there will of course always be a Mickey… Wayne has a protégé’, ready to step up and take over just as Wayne himself did back in 1977 from Jimmy who had taken over from Walt himself. Still… hard to think of Minnie as a widow. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, Iron Bess. It is always hard to hear of a friend's passing. On another side note...When did Mickey and Minnie get married??!

It's got to be the fabric?! I think if one keeps with the look of the green/pink fabric...everyone will be calling the wearer "Lady Davenport"

Cool! I just saw this. ...I'll spread the word!

I don't know why, but every time I look at the marketplace picture of those ladies buying those foundation garments...I always think of this...

...I was always a fan of Cesar Rodney... maybe now we have something in common. Cesar Rodney? You mean the guy from Dover Delware (American Rev)? I hear he was a real looker ( )...

QUOTE (Cheeky Actress @ May 20 2009, 11:42 AM) This late 17th Century Dutch gown was a fairly current fine (3 months) ? Find by whom? I meant "I found it approx. 3 months back....just brought it out of the 'wouldn't it be nice to have this' project file.

Wondering what it would be like to live in Denver, CO.

Thank you Captain... Well Lady Brower...that would be a "YES".

Silke, I'm surprised at you...owner of an Ordinary...asking for hand outs?! Perhaps you should increase your prices...except for us Pyrate Hunters!

Here kitty...kitty...kitty...uhm?! Ooops - sorry! Come here Boy! I want to wish ya a very Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great one!

You know...I had a feeling you were going to ask this. As of the moment, I cannot say that any of the ladies in our crew wear one, (Cheeky rolling her eyes and whistling), but I do on occasion wear a bustle/rump. But I would have to say, Yes, for the later period GAoP. (Maybe I should make one for example...?!?)

LadyBrower, here is the etching/drawing that Mickey and Captain Sterling are referring to... The dates listed are 1719-1720.

Thank you Lady B. It is very pretty, isn't it? Sadly, there is no pattern as of yet. This late 17th Century Dutch gown was a fairly current fine (3 months) and I still need to research the various lines of the garment to figure out which 'existing' pattern I can use to modify it. It's gonna be a while! Looking back at some of the pictures of the POTC gown Miss Swan wore, it is in no way similar. The costume design crew pretty much took a mid-1700s style gown and copied it. Remember this Mantua is a Dutch interpretation of the French courts design...there are going to be some differences... When I do finally have a pattern of this, I still need to find a similar fabric. Here is a good example of the fabric up close. As you can see it is a lovely green and pink...(or should I say moss and salmon). It's gonna be baby-steps...but I have my hands full as of the moment with Fontanges.

Well...there's an old saying....if you make it...they will buy it! And I am sure that I could find something similar to it if I looked hard enough. There are all sorts of places that may have something very similar, but it's the $$$ that I would be concerned about.

Oh, thank you Lily! Now...if I could just get my waist to be that small...i'd be all set!

LOL! Gosh, the two of you are so gun-shy ! Okay...seeing that I am a glutton for punishment...here is something that I've had in the back of my mind for some time. Though it is a little different from the cut we've been use to...it is still within the GAoP! TADA! The Valdemar Slot Gown/Mantua The dress originally is said to belonged to Christine Elizabeth Juel. She was married at Valdemar Castle in 1695, and this gown is said to be her wedding dress. At Valdemar Castle, she and her husband lived a French inspired court life, and the dress is fashionable continental in style. She was widowed in 1709. And yes, I know...it looks like a couch, but I am thinking a smaller pattern and a different colour

I am assuming that your DH is Navy then?
