1. I found a flock of old sewing manuals here: http://www.survivorlibrary.com/?page_id=1379 Perhaps others already know about them, but I thought I'd share for those who may not.

2. nuranar is featured at the top of the Wearing History clothing website. It's a lovely picture. Wearinghistory.clothing

3. The top edge of my 1910's corset is 14" on each side. Three repeats of the lace pattern I'm using block out to 5" so I need eight or nine repeats on each side. I've got five done so I'm more than a quarter of the way through that. jenthompson's original has the lace wrap to the back, but I don't think I trust knitted lace to last long with the corset laces rubbing on it so I might stop it before the eyelets. I guess I need to look at more examples to see what people really did.
