I once did a study of pleating styles, and I could find every other pleating style in German pictures *except* cartridge pleating! I can't wait to see pics of your rolled pleats on your new dress.
There are a couple of different hat styles, some have "petals", and some are just a disk. The "petal" type of barett (the period name for the hat) are much more more common than the type that's just a disk.
Few people seem to want to do their own research, or they're intimidated, and it's always easier to have someone else say, "Do it like that" and be done with it. I think this is the heart of the problem, people just want to be told how to do it. Can't blame them really, its so much easier that way. Unfortunately, so much of the How To's or instructions are not from a authenticity point of view.
