I think it should look similar to the picture with extra for the front.

I do agree with yo...Samantha, you should make one!<br /><br />I do agree with you, the pattern pieces just really didn't add up. I understood it as they had enough room for the full diagram, but not the full illustration. (I have never had to add anything to a period diagram before.)Usually they work out and look like the picture. :D<br /><br />I also had a hard time deciding if it was intended to actually have a hood, being "bournous." The Burnous hoods were worn by Arabs in the French army and were always hooded. I could see where you would use the "hood" piece as the curved back part but the pattern pieces really weren't adding up.<br /><br />Either way, I think the mantilla in the illustration is very cute and someone needs to recreate it. :DStephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-16988344344634234262011-08-03T22:01:07.143-04:002011-08-03T22:01:07.143-04:00oooh i've always wanted to make one of these! ...oooh i've always wanted to make one of these! you don't seem them recreated often enough.<br /><br />one thing though: after reading the accompanying description, i think it IS supposed to look like the half-trimmed image. the description indicated that they were not able to give the entire pattern piece because of space restriction, and you as the seamstress are supposed to "finish" the given pattern piece to make it look like the other illustration. so the back still needs to be extended to a sort of pointed half circle shape, and the front "tails" need to be lengthened as well. hope that helps!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16817358665338090584noreply@blogger.com
