Oh, fun. I have a "Centennial Dress" from the 1870's that's a really interesting take on quasi-Colonial. I'm still trying to figure out what they were doing with the flat-fronted skirt that has some really odd seams to make quasi-panniers, and the bias-wrapped elbow-triangles are a hoot.

I actively collect examples of this.) oooh fun topic! I'd like to offer one of our California contenders. In one of the California Missions, there is a fashionable Madonna. Now these missions were established by Spanish Catholic missionaries, over the approximate period 1776-1820s for the most part. One of the delightful Madonnas wears her traditional blue robe... with panniers. <grin> I believe it's at Mission La Purissima. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume<http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume> _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
