I have been terrible about posting. I'll put up my pictures of the picnic tonight when I get home.
But first, I've been considering something, but it may be against the costumers code of ethics. Is it ok to male the same dress that someone else did? If you both had the same inspiration piece( extant gown, painting, movie costume, ect.) can you do it too? Or what if you found a period print and wanted to make a certain type of gown, but another person already made that style with the same fabric, it it ok to do it too? And I'm not talking about the curtain a long, where the point is to have the same fabric. I don't want to offend anyone.

I think both are ok. We have so limited resources in both prints, gowns, paintings and also fabrics. Most costumers seem to shop in the same places. And sometimes you've been planning on copying a fashion plate for years or have been sitting on a fabric and then someone else comes along, unaware of your plans and beats you to it. I don't think it would be fair for the first person to have to forget the project because of that.

Only thing I wouldn't encourage anyone to do is to copy another costumer's completely original idea / gown, not based on any plate etc. But that's a completely different thing than the two situations you asked about.
