Welcome aboard! You'll find a number of 16th century/Elizabethan costumers on this list, including myself (though many are more able/prolific than I)!
I too am developing an interest in the social/political conditions that led the English to colonize the Americas, mostly fueled by a recent trip to Jamestown (1607). There was a tailor among the original colonists and a number of clothing/sewing related artifacts found at the fort site (thimble, doublet buttons, even a poking stick). What are you currently working on? Allison T. On Jan 4, 2008 1:32 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Send h-costume mailing list submissions to > h-costume@mail.indra.com > > 1.
