Subject: [h-cost] Your dream costume
I was thinking of what my next costume would be and I came to an
interesting question.
What would be your dream costume?
If you wouldn't be limited by money or your own expertise.
you mean just one? um, well probably something Tudor but what I would really
kill for is the knowledge of how a proper c.1530-40 woman's gown was really
constructed, I like the Tudor Tailor but actually knowing for sure that
this is the right way would be my ultimate dream. My forays into 19th
century have shown me just how easy the research can be when you can prove
something simply by pointing to one of thousands of extant garments or even
buying one of your own off ebay or one of the other antique clothing
websites, (if you have the money). There's no speculation or guessing or
making assumptions you actually _know_ the way it was done.
