"admom" wrote in message ... back in the twenties and thirties this was such a common practice that the tiny pins were marked under the name "beauty pins", and were usually brass or gold colored, so they were fancier than the usual safety pin. admom You can take safety pins back further than that -- in the middle ages they were used to pin the sleeves to gowns and considered proper to show. Giselle (sleeves and gowns were usually seperate items and worn over the chemise that showed through the gaps in the sleeves) |

Hello Giselle,
the waist minus 10% is what I always take for the elastic. When you are going to use the method of the buttonhole elastic, the most beautfull way (imo) is to fasten it at one side and to make a buttonhole at the other side. kind regards Fran=E7ois |
