p.s. Actually, now that I get to musing about this, maybe those "yore" costumes aren't as far off as we think....aren't designers' models and chic young things walking around in very "now" outfits that mix nineteenth-century skirts, 'twenties jewelry, bustiers (fantasy out-of-time corsets), generic modern T shirts, traditional Indian sandals, flower-child crocheted fringed vests, and hats reminiscent of caps worn by working-class men 400 years ago?

After looking at how some folks today build their 'historical' costumes, I expect to see 3pc suits made out of denim, worn with grunge flannel shirts, 80's gel shoes, 70's long hair, and the occasional body piercing.
