    Ah yes - I used to work in the lab of a factory doing metallurgical supplies and had my own personal toilet, so I understand about gender ratios.

    If you do, for instance, stick to lighter weight fabrics there is no need to cut out the pleats which means that if you decide that you want to alter a skirt then it is a fairly easy task.

    I used to make my clothes for when I tagged along with John Lilburn's Regiment of Musket and Pike, English Civil War re-enactors in the English midlands - quite close to Naseby - there was a battle there. My grandmothers were both very able makers, but my mother was not, so if I wanted anything made then I had to do it myself
