RE: Making a dress pattern...a.k.a. what in the world am I doing?
I never have done a study on the electrical frequency of wool and linen, it sounds interesting! I have been told that sleeping on 100% cotton everything makes for less static electricity which is better for your body. Interesting!
I see it is probably the area I'm in that makes my thrifting short lived. Wedding dresses I've looked at in thrift stores in my area have been upwards of $80, and I can get better deals on the actual fabric other places. I am also a lace snob...:( Antique lace is my thing, and I mean at least 140 years old. I like SOME modern laces, but not many. I'm so glad you're enjoying my posts! I'm enjoying yours as well!
Lol. A lace snob. I am in such awe of antique lace, especially if it is hand-made, but I do not have any, and probably never will. Just knowing that someone knotted such beauty is awe-inspiring to me. Fine handwork, crochet, lace-making, tatting, embroidery, or any fabric craft causes me to stop and admire the skill, time, and effort it took to produce their art.
I have some lace that was my great-great-grandmothers! Like I said, my Nana saved things. :D I don't have any of the very fine antique lace, but I look at pictures and drool sometimes...during research I've found lots of examples while looking for other things. There is a huge difference in the lace when it started being machine made! Hand tatting is amazing to me, and crocheted lace...! So many people are artists in their own right.
