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.

It is not possible to copy something exactly. You will choose different fabrics, assemble the garment differently, make different choices based upon your skills and limitations. Add to it the chances of being the exact same size/measurements as another costumer, and it can only ever end up to be "based on the same reference".

And what [Bad username or site: the=aristocat @ livejournal.com] said above - just don't copy someone else's original modern personal design without clearing with them first.
