>I have a fashion print showing "historical" outfits for a fancy dress >(costume) ball in the 1880s. It's hilarious from a costumer's >viewpoint. Imagine Mary Queen of Scots with an 1880s shape. :-D Very funny. I have several fancy dress fashion plates, too. My personal favorite is the "kimono" set of curraise gowns entitled "Receiving in the Japanese Room" (peterson's 1879). The dolmans are a marvelous combo of geisha & victorian. It's so well loved it's on my wall in the dining room. At the Pitti Palace in Florence, there was a small collection on display of 19th repros of earlier styles. I loved the 1840s(?) version of 15th c Florentine. It's in the Galleria di Costume catalogs. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
