Costume doesn't have the same ambiguity for British people, as we would call
the sort of thing Americans wear at Hallowe'en fancy dress (though my late
father, born in 1907, used to call a woman's suit a costume).
In my re-enactment society we, too, call our period clothing kit.

All,
I'm needing a good number of buttons in very short order. Finding something

Humm, fascinating. I never used one of the tools shown for finger braiding

Prices were outstanding.

I think I know what you're talking about -- is it this?
Thanks Chris. How very interesting! I haven't done plastic cording weaving

know it still existed, much less had a name. It was just what you put your

our Scout Troop. We have found that it really doesn't meet the Troop
Just curious, how is it not meeting the troops needs?
