I never quite thought of it that way, but you're right! I just really grooved with the 16th century because it was there that I found that I could make clothing that looked good on me (sort of a major revelation), plus, I got into monochrome embroidery in a very major way. It's what I'm mostly known for in the SCA (at least, I think so! ;o) And of course, when I started down the slippery slope of historical costuming, a couple of decades ago, most of what I could find for good sources on pre 17th-century clothing were are later stuff. Now, though, I've been tempted into earlier paths. I've kind of turned into a pan-european/medieval clothing and fiber geek. Most of what I'm doing is much earlier, and then there's the eventual 14th century wardrobe ;o), and the 16th century Venetian outfit to go with the blackworked camicia.... Never mind fibery pursuits like wanting to weave my own fabric for historical clothing.... Geez, I think I need to win the lottery! ;o) --Sue
