If you were here I would smack you in the head for starting trouble like you do. I know my Brother to be a fool, but stupid....no.

Marriage is for the getting of heirs.... think on that when you look into the eyes of any would be future wives. Besides you will tire of her as you do with all of hem.

I have a lovely new Lass fresh from Derbyshire with rosy cheeks and hair like silk. Her father gave her to settle a bill and she is ripe for the plucking. Shall I save her for you dear?

Who? Me? Start trouble? Never! I just manage...to ahem... um... find myself in the mix..And my dear Sister, just who are ye calling a foo ..... did ye say new Lass? Ripe?

Yes my pet, you'll really enjoy this one. Stop by when next in port...as always. You'll see fer yourself.

Thank you Lady Constance. Yes, I posted a few shots in this thread earlier. Here's the link.

Post #70 - In this thread - shots of back of Mantua

The back starts with a box-pleat, slightly on an angle, then the other pleats work off of the back center seam and should work themselves outward towards your right and left side - thus, you should have x number amount of pleats folded towards your left shoulder and X number of pleats folded towards your right shoulder.

One of the most important things I've learned about this garment. There is a proper order of assembly. If you don't do the right order...there will be confusion down the road!

::: rolls eyes::: a girl unpluck be worth more than one plucked. But, aye, Madame Rose... I'd say would be simple from my end... any lass possible t' whisk away t' be placed into a Gents possession that comes at a good price. <_<

:::loks at Sterling::: Oh, innocent at ye may be, Captain. Haha... trouble is yo'r middle name! :P

Cheeky... tis an absolutely gorgeous mantua, lass! Ye look like a fresh snowflake. So pure an' elegant ye be. :::applauds::: m' compliments to ye. Best mantua yet. :(

Cheeky you are GORGEOUS. and the dress is pretty too!

Thank you my dear Lady Brower. At least YOU know the meaning of Expensive Taste when you see it…. Sadly, some of us are just ‘blind’ to fashion, eh Captain Sterling?

Oy! At least she has th' coinage t' be tossin' it away. :) What Actress & Courtesan would she be if she didn't keep up with appearances? ;)

Aye, Cheeky... Gorgeous indeed. And mighty radiant there in that image, too. ;) A Gentleman would be right good t' snatch ye up.

;) Inside more than outside? Ooooh, Good Lord... Sterling... I am NOT gonna touch that one. ;)

An' she bein' a Lady of stature... if she dressed in yo'r attire... there would be some wonderin' "what th' bleedin' hell?" I think it odd that Mistress Lily would be galavantin' about in yo'r clothin'. ;) Then again, that may leave ye naked. :o

;)

Hmmm, now there is a thought, Lady B. To wear the habit of our good Captain?!....Yes, I could do "The Mad Dane of Denmark" or perhaps...MacBeth!" What a clever Lady you are!

Fontage... birth control? Haha, I hardly think it would deter a gent from enjoyin' a woman. Unless it be pokin' straight out into their eyes or used as a "belt".

Clever? Awww, Now ye done made me blush, deary. :)

T'would be interesting. Course... they may mistake ye for th' Captain an' hang ye instead! :rolleyes: Wouldn't want that.

Oh, come now, Syren! Wench auction? As long as Sparrow keeps his grubby paws off th' girls... they fetch a good price. Especially them Persians an' th' sort. They always be needin' Harem slaves. Or someone fo' a Gentleman's Plantation.

Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

So... If Fontages are so ugly, what would be an attractive way to do a fancy period style?
