First, I want to thank everyone who helped two weeks ago with the dance terms
and origins from the Ringling Mansion's Ballroom murals. I compiled most of
your answers and put them on the slideshow. I know have a website for all the
slideshows. You can see them at www.costumeslideshows.com .
About how many costume/fashion related books or magazines do you own?
About 30-35 (but 2 of those are Moda a Firenze and QEWU (bought from
Amazon/Canada for $192, which included shipping)
What was the first one you purchased?
Historic Costume for the Stage 1974
Where did you purchase it?
I don't know about Image 1, but Image 2 is bordered by
what my Grandmother called lattice work. I don't know
if that is general usage, but that is what I know it
to be.

Far fewer than I used to. In a fit of anti-consumerism a few years ago I
gave away a substantial portion of my library. Now I simply rely on the

I hate to say: I gave them away (I hate to admit to foisting them off on
some unsuspecting person) but they included Norris and
Wow, the Fleming Museum. I spent many days there when
I was a kid. My dad taught at the UVM College of
Forestry in the 60's and we would play on the grounds

I ask people to e-mail me first before sending, and then I can check. They're

art, history and costume.
What was the first one you purchased? 197O (when I was in college) Where
did you purchase it? Have no clue. Memory fails
