I believe that's the Swedish national costume or court dress... Argh, I can't recall where I heard about it, but it may have been Bjarne Drew's site. Basically the ladies are all in 18thc versions of Renaissance gowns, and the gents are all in black piped with red... except for some people who are in black with blue, or red with blue, or blue and white. This is my lack of bookmarks speaking. :\ I believe this was instituted by the monarch at the time. -Laura _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
