Speaking of which...what makes an expert? Someone who is already published? Someone who has a degree in history, research, costuming, or? Someone who has access to primary sources? I am reminded of someone who considered "themselves" (grammatically incorrect, but gender non-specific) an expert, but wrote off Mairead Dunlevy's book, Dress in Ireland, because she was "just a ceramics/pottery expert" writing about costume....???

Sorry if this offends anyone...not my intention.
