New, here!
My almost 14-year old is interested in getting involved with living history - I have a friend who is a seamstress (she and her husband actually do French and Indian living history, so she's familiar with the importance of era-accuracy!), she just needs a pattern. My daughter is interested in portraying a girl Tillie Pierces' age/class of society - is this the best place to get a pattern, and since I don't sew, is there anything in particular I need to know when ordering (is there a difference in skirt length, etc?)
