Val, I'm so glad you didn't have to suffer seeing "mean Mrs. Spring wear it as a tucker"!

I have been wearing the mantua maker pantelettes for a few years now.They are quick and easy to make and don't wear out as quickly as my victorian ones, probably due to the reinforced seams. I use handkerchief linen.
Cheers, Aylwen
