I made the mistake of being a female and a Laurel (music stuff). Getting constantly bombarded with costuming questions made me determined to learn as much about it as possible without sewing which I don't have time for--see aforementioned music stuff. ;) The historian and researcher in me wants to know and understand both conceptual and practical approaches. I've learned a lot from a number of Ithra classes and tons of good info from this list. :-) > It should be obvious by now that my lectures are really all just > "research > methods" classes in disguise.

You're singing my song, Sister! :-) Arlys _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
