Sunny,
That would be me. I just presented at Kalamazoo on the topic of the Sicilian
trousseau. I do know that the Met will be publishing a major-league
documentation book on the same topic in the coming years, I guess they felt the
need to make me the opening act, rather than the major attraction. *shrug*
They'll cover way more than I ever could afford to do.
Ask just about anything you want, and I'll do what I can to answer. :-) I have
info on the Venetian camicia, the Sicilian trousseau, and the chopines in their
collection.

A while ago, I thought someone from this list went to the Met in NY to look at
extant 16th cent. Italian chemises and drawers, but I no longer remember
_who_...
Hope that helps,
