You're an > excellent researcher and presenter--keep up the good work! :-) <blush> It should be obvious by now that my lectures are really all just "research methods" classes in disguise. Talking about sewing the clothing is a very minor part of them -- it's all about looking at art, documents, artifacts, etc. to determine social context, aesthetic sensibility, and development of a style. The mechanics are only one small part of that understanding. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
