I put this on the Renaissance Tailor site, but it might be of use to someone here as well:
Subject: RE: [TheRenTailor] "Dress at the Court of King Henry Viii" I got mine early because I used bribery and corruption. The publication party for the book was to have been 1 October in England. Which is why the books are only shipping in time for Christmas. It is available in the US for $98 for the slipcased Paperback edition (as large as the clothbound version in that it is larger than 8 x 10") from http://www.oxbowbooks.com/results.cfm/q/Dress%20in%20the%20Court%20of%20Henr y%20VIII/qt/All/ST/QS/StartRow/1 (David Brown Book company the US distributor Look for Oxbow books and click on the $) Another nifty is Costume: The Journal of the Costume Society (also a Manley publishing item). It is a Quarterly Journal of the Costume Society www.costumesociety.org.uk . You can subscribe, or buy individual articles. I got involved because one of the articles in Costume Volume 41 (the present one) had the Janet Arnold work on the Effigy Corset. I'm not a penny pinching young student, but an employed and old student working on my MA as an Independent Scholar with my local university. This is why I paid the Student rate when I subscribed. The individual article is for sale on-line for $25. The writers frequently have access to items that I didn't even know about. The color chart is something I've been needing for years (and is pronounced by one of my professor friends as a very good rendition.) If you can't afford it, you can't. That means you know what to ask your Liberian for. Old issues are available as are individual articles. As you can see from the Table of Contents below, the Journal ranges over a wide range of periods and places. Wanda Included in No. 41 are: The pair of straight bodies' and a pair of drawers' dating from 1603 which Clothe the Effigy of Queen Elizabeth I in Westminster Abbey by Janet Arnold 'To Cap it All': The Waterford Cap of Maintenance (Henry VIII timeframe) by Cliodna Devit 'Rainbow for a Reign: The Colours of a Queen's Wardrobe (Queen Elizabeth, with a color chart to give you an idea of what the name actually means - such as 'maiden's blush' etc. "The Merchant Taylors' Company of London under Elizabeth I: Tailors' Guild or Company of Merchants": By Nigel Sleigh-Johnson "A Fashionable Confinement: Whaleboned Stays and the Pregnant Woman" by Harriet Waterhouse (not Elizabethan) 'Over what crinoline should these charming jupons be worn?' Thompson's Survival Strategy During the Decline of the Crinoline by Lucy-Clare Windle "The Dress Must be White and Perfectly Plain and Simple: Confirmation and First Confirmation Dress, 1850-2000 by Anthea Jarvis The Wearing of the Red: The Redcoat and the British Brand" by Nigel Arch "A clinging Liberty tea-gown instead of a magenta satin': The Colour Red in Artistic Dress by Liberty & Co.' by Anna Buruma "Modern Fashions for Modern Women: The Evolution of New York Sportswear in the 1930s" by Rebecca Arnold "Chained Melody or Putting Paco Rabanne in his Place" by Rosemary Harden (my personal opinion is that his place is probably face down with a steak through his heart - Wanda) New Books and Articles by James Snowden and Naomi E.A.
