To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, November 17, 2008, 5:49 PM Hi Folks, Friends and I recently watched the 1935 Midsummer Night's Dream, and have been puzzling over the construction of Titania's costume. Does anyone have ideas?

I've been wondering if they might be strips of cut metal foil, like my parents' old real-metal Christmas Tree icicles: heavy, shiny, soft.
