I missed the first part of this thread but this caught my eye. In saying "Renaissance Faires, BTW, are another outgrowth of the "hippie" movement. Fran"
I come to understand that you may be saying that SCA came out of the "hippie" movement. If I am understanding correctly, I would like to say that SCA was not an outgrowth of the hippie movement, it grew from a history club at Berkley. I will say that the clothing in the beginning and even today is a blend of historic and current style. The current style usually comes from those who are just getting started or couldn't care less about costuming and cared more of whatever arts or sciences they be interested in. In early SCA costuming information, books, pictures were few and far between. I remember when I joined in `81 a woman who had no costuming experience was telling me that this http://realmofvenus.renaissancewoman.net/wardrobe/VENETIANLADYDurer1495.jpg was a fantasy dress. A Victorian drawing of what was thought to have been worn. Oh yeah, and I was told that pink wasn't period.:P De my .2 _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
