Unravelling Textiles: A Handbook for the Preservation of Textile
Collections, Foekje Boersma
Can anyone comment on this book? I'm looking for one on this subject,
but I'd like one that is focused on practical application of

I'm sorry to come so late to the discussion - this may now be
irrelevant. I believe Nancy Rexford was right, these are sacques, used

Can anyone direct me to a source for velveteen? The washable, apparel weight
kind. Way back in time I could find a variety of colors, including the soft
muted shades I'm looking for, at chain fabric stores. Then maybe on ebay.
Then sometimes online fabric stores. Now I can't seem to find it
Thanks for all the leads, I'm going velveteen shopping!

Does anyone know of researchers who are currently studying the history of
pattern making? The only scholarly books I have on the subject are
Kidwell's (1979) and Seligman's (1996), nothing more recent, and I don't
know if anyone is doing similar research any more.
thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it - sometimes I get too serious and need to remember I do
this because it's fun!

They have a new series of videos showing some fabulous mid to late
19thC dolls and costumes from the Hanne Büktas collection.
I think episode 5 or 6 focuses on costume, but they all have plenty to see.

This question made me curious because I've seen so many photos labeled PM
when I thought they weren't. And of course I stare with same morbid
curiosity as the next person (Thanatos?)! But standing poses - I don't
know. It's practically impossible to hold an unconscious person upright - I
know this
Brilliant!
