		<description><![CDATA[Nothing makes a pant look as fantastically olde-timey as a fall front. Unfortunately, a real fall front is a pain in the patouty to sew (trust me), and it&#8217;s not something that can be added in after the fact in any sort of historically accurate manner. Fortunately, if you&#8217;re not 100% concerned about authenticity, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, Laura said she was looking forward to a demo on how I made the Frock Coats for 1776.  I used a pattern. (What?! Missa? Are you feeling ok??) It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m not all about cheating, or being creative, or drafting patterns. It&#8217;s just that it easier to a pattern that already exists and [...]]]></description>

(No, really, that&#8217;s all they call him in the script.) He&#8217;s an army courier who brings messages in to the continental congress.

		<description><![CDATA[Oddly enough, I needed 19 pair of Colonial britches to go with my 25 Colonial vests. (Because I had much better luck renting britches than vests, not because I let anyone go pantless.) This is very similar to the trick I used for the Oliver! knickers, but they need a slimmer fit and different length. [...]]]></description>

Because I wasn&#8217;t sure that I&#8217;d get round to making a coat for everyone, I wanted vests that weren&#8217;t faked out in the back, and I needed them to have structure and to be long enough to cover the obviously modern fly fronts on the britches I was [...]]]></description>
