Jen you can find these at: http://www.profbloodgood.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc? I haven't ordered from them, but I've looked at the website before and they have all kinds of wardrobes from different periods. They have a wonderful selection, but are pricey. If you know of anyone who sews, there are quite a few patterns available. If the outfits are meant to be in more than one piece, such as skirt and boustiere, have them sew these together to make it all as one. Then have a straight seam cut midway down the back and run stronger fabric down each side. You can then put metal grommets (like a shoe lace would go through except bigger)down each side and run strong lacing through. This is the method that I have found work best if making them or having them made. There are even patterns to make hats for that period. Good Luck. If you start doing it let me know how it goes. This is one of those things I've been gathering props and costumes to try out too. Liza

Jen, You inspired me and I hit the thrift stores yesterday looking for already made clothes that I could alter. That is my project for tonight. One dress is almost done. I should have done a before and after, but didn't think of it. The dress cost me $5.00 and I think I spent another$5.00 on trims. Tomorrow I have to work on the back lacing. I prefer lacing to ties because I think they will hug the curves of a lady nicer that way. Ok, I'm back to work now, I was just excited and thought I'd pass this along.
