Re: [Mid] A+S Documentation

but it can be such a pain to try to document something after it is done
because then you are sitting there trying to justify why you deviated
from period technique where if you had simply looked at a few things
before you had started you might have found that it was actually just as
easy to do it in the more period way. >>

And this is what made my dress documentation so easy. I got a book for
Elizabethan portraits from the library, turned the pages saying "Oh, this is
pretty." and "How nice! I'll do that too." I picked sleeves from this one,
bodice from this one, headdress from another, etc. So, I went costume
shopping in a book of portraits.

I don't believe I learned much, but the dress looked great, and everyone who
looked at my documentation said how good it was.
