I happen to have living with me a German exchange student, (is that serendipitous, or what?) so if you don't have anyone to translate the Vendish site, I will ask her to do it. Sharon Collier

I would prefer to buy from US or Australia, not the UKas our dollar is too weak against the pound & euro. I've found a few pictures of what we need. The bodice/waistcoat will be black, blouse white cotton with cotton lace (so it can be bleached later) and the full circle skirt purple with gold trim. Ideally bodice black wool, but that may be too expensive, so a solid cotton twill lined with cotton, black eyelets for lacing up. If anyone cares to quote for a whole outfit that would be fantastic. We need 15 of these but have a limited budget, so we can sew trim on to save costs & hem the skirts. I have to pay for all this myself as the students can't afford it. If I can pay off in instalments that would be perfect, and we'd need to do one as a dummy run to make sure its okay. I'm happy to pay for that one as well. We need to have these done by the end of July, so there is not much time. We want to use them in August and will be touring to New Zealand in September. http://costumes.lovetoknow.com/images/Costumes/0/0d/National_costumes.jpg http://www.pirkadat.org/photos/20041209/cp5+.jpg http://www.dvorana.cz/costumes_jp/turnov/tur-celek-1.jpg Cheers, Aylwen ps. so we get this off the list, please reply to my email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
