Partlet help!! was created by Morwenne
I am driving myself up a wall trying to find a partlet in time for the ball. I found one back in August, but like a dunce, I forgot to bookmark the site, and now I can't find it.

If anyone knows of a reliable source I would be more then appreciative. Mostly I'm looking for one with a ruffled collar, which seems to be this side of impossible. Mostly I really really don't want to have to make one because smocking is the devil.

Any help would be appreciated!

Here's what I could find via a quick Google search.  I think the "verymerryseamstress" used to be a weblink on this site under the Garb section.  Not sure though.

Honestly at this point, I have exhausted google. I'm now trolling SCA listings ;)

I do appreciate the links though!

Are you looking for the dickey type or the blouse type?

If you DO end up having to make one, here's a lovely simple pattern that requires no smocking, just the simplest machine gather for the ruffle. The way it is worn and tucked will control the drape/pleating.

Hey, I know this doesn't help you any, (pointless post), but I didn't know what a partlet was until this post! So thanks for that  :)

If you remember Ophelia's from the ren faire, they had partlets, may just wanna do a quick search to see if they are in business.

If you are still unsuccessful at finding an already made partlet, PM me (kingfisher215@hotmail.com or call 267-261-7575).  I'm pretty sure I could make one for you without much trouble, especially if you want something like the photos from lady-faire.com.  Big "hang-up" might be fabric but many things are possible!  I could mail it to you, or if you can stand to wait, Charlie (AKA geezer and Fr. Edwin) could bring it to the ball... estimated price = $40, if I use the cotton lace I already have.
