I joined sometime last year. The only way I found out about this list, is from the search result regarding the Gothic Fitted Gown. I've my degree in Theater, with focus in theatrical costuming. However, I am very interested in the historical aspect of things - why things were worn as such, how they were sewn, what did they wear underneath everything to give the right shape, etc. Even for my designs, I always prefer to go the historical route versus the theatrical route. Not always possible, but I at least make good arguements for doing so. I also have projects I'm working on on the side, those I focus on the historical point of things. I enjoy this list because, as many others have pointed out, it is a general list not specific to eras. Any question I have can usually be answered. I also do not have the time to read all the blogs or lists out there so I must simplify things and go with this one.
