nuranarQuestion. The c. 1795-1805 bib front dress in Janet Arnold (POF 1) has "worked loops" at the back waist to keep the ties up where they belong. See page 52. What are these?
I've made thread loops before, by knotting over other strands of thread, but that is not how these loops are drawn. They aren't terribly sturdy, either. I need loops on the red wool dress, but I'm 90% sure that one or more thread loops would pop off or break the first time I wore it. Opinions?
