Well, crap!
When the TT ladies came to CA, I bought their underthings pattern, because it had the French farthingale, which I knew I was going to be making. That it also came with the Spanish farthingale, and a small pad was nice, but not needed. I did this, so I wouldn't have to wade through making up a pattern for me to wear. Yes, it is a simple one, but one less step would be nice.
Well... after pickle juice (which hasn't affected the actual pattern any), runny instruction page, and ruined cover envelope, I finally actually open the pattern page itself... and found the Spanish farthingale all on one sheet... and no sign of any part of the French one.
So. It looks like I will have to draft and resize up the pattern piece to fit me, anyway.
So... lesson to be learned here... make sure when you buy a pattern, that you have all the pieces you need before you drive away. Especially since they are in the UK, and shipping for that extra page is not worth the hassle.
