Hi I was wondering if there have been any papers or research done on a

compare with her anaysis IF there are any serious papers or articles
What class are you teaching? Theater costume, history of costume? Seems to
me, you can rate how good the costumes are by comparing to known English
dress of the period, and thus determine how good your student's analysis is.
However, as has happened with many things, I think the whole

My plan for now is to get a Uniquely You dress form at
my hoped for future size (or smaller), a different
sized cover to fit the current me, and pad it up to

I have the Uniquely You form also and my plan is to saw off the perky bosom and
add one of my bras stuffed to match me. I think that will squish just fine

I remember i saw a tv programme from the workshop at Chanel where all the work

Depends on the fabric, I think. I work mostly (embroidery-wise) on linen

Hi,
I remember having heard that blood stains can be
removed with milk, but I don´t know if it works.
And it´s probably not done at Chanel, because it
might leave marks on silks and such. Like Liadain
said, saliva works well for fresh spots. Some
dressmakers use a long thread of basting
Heh. This sounds a lot nicer than just spittin' on it...G

Hi Laurie,
Have you tried simply steaming the wool, and letting
it sit to dry, steam, dry... maybe even using a
toothbrush or other brush to gently bring up the nap a
bit? Steam on wool has done wonders for me.

If the blood is fresh and scant, spit sometimes works on cotton and
linen. However it can still stain. I'm sure we've all experienced this

Some Victorian and Edwardian books on household remedies do include
natural cleaning remedies. I've heard of
