Is there somewhere in the Puget Sound area to buy a nice ready made Regency gown?
I am an awful seamstress and the gown that I had custom made still does not fit (even though I have loss 35 pounds!).

Yes-- Tamara Somerfield takes custom orders - she is one of the makers of the La Mode Bagatelle pattern - you can usually reach her at Nancy's Sewing Basket (206)282-9112 where she works or I can send you her email privately if you want. Also - Nora in Portland does custom orders when she is not on vacation (which she is at the moment)

Wait a second, one of the *makers* of the La Mode pattern works at Nancy's Sewing Basket?? Oh my gosh what a resource!!!
