I'm going on a cruise in April and need to create a very sophisticated costume. I am considering a Byzantine style costume; because it isn't tailored. Gave anyone give me any leads, or links, to places that might be able to help? Things like pictures, patterns, etc. Michael

In the big four pattern cataloges are the costume section. They are the king aurther type. They are not to hard. Did a whole school play out of them.
The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!
