I'm still here, and my first project for the new year will be a very late 1500s-early 1600s middle class outfit from the skin out, for the Jamestown Foundation's Historic Clothing Conference, "Tailored to a New World", coming up in June. To avoid conflicts for Jamestown visitors that weekend, conference attendees have been asked to wear modern clothing while attending classes, etc.--but there is a Fort Frolic one evening, where period clothing is encouraged. I'm working on the research phase of what a middle-class woman would have worn to such a gathering, and want to make it as historically accurate as I can, within time and ability constraints. Nervous, but quite chuffed!! :)
Hope you're all having a pleasant holiday season! Sharon (aka Meli ferch Iasper ap Dafydd Du) _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
