He said his tailor is in Thailand and speaks no english. That he was
going to personally deliver the fabric, and pick out his pattern when he
got there.

The entire thread can be viewed here:

Now that's really funny! You even linked to the same Vogue
pattern I used here in trying to guesstimate. Wonder why he felt
the need to start a new thread here, after he received such good
advice in alt.gothic.fashion???? Maybe he's just a troll....

the reason is that i have not had time to get back over to the fabric
store to check on the width sizes of the bolts.

and I wanted to wait until all the responses came in before responding.


if this process upsets you, you don't have to post any further.

And yet you had the time to start an entire new thread *here*.

Nor do you. Seems to me that you are quite snippy for a newbie
to this group.

Get over yourself. While I am not as experienced as some on this group
I am quite competent, and already spent time trying to help you. And I
have a great deal of respect not only for the other group member's
professional skills, but for the value of their time. A review of the
ground already covered was entirely appropriate.
