Jennifer,
I must express ignorance of how Australian garb of that period differed
from US or European but there is a great pattern source I'm going to
recommend. They have a vast array of historic patterns, US, European
and a host of other areas. I called them this morning and they're
airmailing you info on their catalog of patterns (I hope your address
will get it to you.) The woman with whom I spoke said they already have
lots of customers in Australia. The company is
Amazon Dry Goods
2218 East 11th St.
Davenport, IA 52803-3760
Hope some of this will work for you.
