Gorgeous! Inspiring!
This is hands-down the best reproduction of this find I've seen. Absolutely gorgeous-- great job! I hope mine turns out near so well. :D
It must be used in mass production
I've been waiting for someone to try this. Excellent!
When are you going to start selling these?!
looks so comfortable, nice work.
I really like this. It's still useful *and* quite nice looking. :D It's great to see awesome reproduction pieces!
Love this! Amazing job! Well done!
Love your work and am in envy of your talent. As a SCAdian, I've been trying to find the source - all I have is the original article (bad picture). --Katrinka

Your design caught my eyes right away. I am trying to do bras and just looking at your design helps a great deal. It is very nice and educational. LOVE IT !
I have been thinking about creating some linen undergarments too! I love what you did here. It's both functional and a bit nostalgic! Nice!
