Further to Wanda's post - below - from the 4th November (sorry -
slowly reading through old messages)
If you're connected with an academic institution in the UK and have
or can get an ATHENS password, you may well be able to access, free,
the online version of Costume through Ingenta Connect, the on-line
site that Wanda mentions.

Usually your friendly uni librarian can arrange an ATHENS password
http://www.athens.ac.uk/ and it's extremely useful for all sorts of
sites, but at the same time amazing how many students aren't told
about this service. there may be an equivalent US service. Then you
can download individual articles in handy PDF form from Costume, and
Textile History which is also highly recommendable, for textile
related articles, conference and book reviews. Then once downloaded
and printed off, who knows where copies could end up? (though I'm not
condoning breach of applicable copyright - reasonable use for
research purposes only!)
Typical - I don't post for years then do two at once....

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.
