Costumers ARE consumers! Somebody or something is going to be wearing the
product, right? Even if it is made for display on a mannequin, that is
consumption.
And re-making something isn't destroying it.
But I don't collect vintage or antiques clothing or textiles, either. I just
admire others'. I'm strictly making period style things from modern materials.
I have been known to buy 1950s and 1960s era things from thrift stores, though,
and altering them to fit to wear for costume.
So, how far do we go? 1950s? 1040s? 1920s? ????

And here I thought this list was for *costumers* and not consumers and
destroyers.
