years ago. But they don't sell only magazines, they also sell books -
f.ex. book on making evening dresses. These books are actually
collections from the magazines in which there was a section on the
corresponding topic. The good
new is that they have books on costumes, too! One for women's costume
and one for men's. The periods they cover are all from renaissance to
the beginning of the 20th century. The patterns out there are
surprisingly good and the final shape looks quite period, the seams are
all on the good places and the shape of the pattern pieces looks very
accurate. There are, of course, little mistakes, but not very significant.
-----------------
Could you post the titles, authors, and any other relevant publication
data on the books?
-----------------------
I've once found an ordering/subscription card and all the books and
things you may purchase from them on the internet, but I think it isn't
there any more or at least I can't find it. Again, if very interested, I
could scan it for you, or send it to you by post.
------------------
Yes, thanks.
