Dear Penny and Sunny (and others),
Costume is an academic journal and so more likely to be found in an
academic library. You can ask your [college or public] library if
they will do article requests via InterLibrary Loan. My library gets
them electronically and sends the patron a link; it's up to the
patron to Save the file or print it. You can see the contents of the
volume (note that there is a typo -- vol. 41 is the 2007 issue) at
http://www.costumesociety.org.uk/journal.html
The IngentaConnect website -- the platform that makes Maney
publications available electronically -- indicates that it is
possible to buy articles with a credit card... I haven't looked into
this but I suspect that it is very expensive. :-)
You can also look up (or ask your librarian to look up) the journal
in WorldCat and find out which library in your area has a
subscription. Then make a trip over there and make your own copies!
I searched for "Costume the journal of the Costume Society" (because
"costume" is much too broad a term) and found that there are 4
libraries in my state that have subscriptions -- 3 of them are state-
supported schools and so I have the privilege of using their
periodical reading rooms. Also, some states have a State Library
system that can do ILL for any state employee -- it's worth checking
into, if you think you qualify.

And for those of you who attend the International Congress on
Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo in May: last year, Maney had a table
in the vendor hall and they just happened to be selling copies of the
latest issue for $40. I have my fingers crossed that they will be
offering vol. 41 at the next Congress!

p.s. Penny, don't worry about RSS. It's just another way to get
early notification of things that interest you. Your kids (or
librarian) can probably explain it to you. :-) And vol. 42 of
Costume won't be published 'til next summer so I think that website
is suspicious.

Sunny,
I checked into this for a while last night. I was confused like
you. I also do not understand RRS. I found Vol. #42 on a website
for almost $75 USD. To become a UK Costume Society member from the
U.S. is $50. This price includes the journal.
I am interested in the journal's article about first communion/
confirmation dresses.
Penny Ladnier,
