Tell me one thing. How would be the situation if I asked the museum for close up photos of the fabric? I would do the design with help of these pictures. The result would be the same. Maybe I will do it, I will ask the museum for close up pictures for me to see the original. How on earth can you say which material I used in the end to produce the design given to a commercial weaver? Is there any copyright law regarding reproductions of extant garments/textiles? ___________________________ Sartor...custom-made costumes www.sartor.cz
