I'm aware of minor differences between modern dress (mostly having to do with the level of formality people consider appropriate for everyday things) but yeah, I'm picturing the modern day results as being pretty similar. But going back a bit further, I wonder if materials that only became common in the 20th century would have been more common earlier? I'm thinking especially of leather; there's been a lot of discussion of leather being used for this, that, or the other historical garment, and the general concensus seems to be either, "shyeah, right" or later on, "maybe once in a blue moon, but not typically." Right now I'm picturing a deerskin redingote (or better yet, schaube) and liking it... -E House _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
