Re: [h-cost] Sharpe BBC(A) series
I thought the Sharpe stories were set at various times during the Peninsular War (1808-13) and after. I believe the military uniforms were pretty accurate. Kate Bunting Librarian and 17th century reenactor Elizabeth Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/08/2006 23:14 BBC America's Playhouse show has been running the series of 2 hour Sharpe movies lately. All 1813. What do you (collectively) think of the costuming, both civilian and military? I like it, but what do I know? :) liz young ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume __ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Re: [h-cost] Costume College 2006
What and where is Costume College? And the GenCon that everybody was going to last week? Isn't there some big deal in Kalamazoo, MI in the spring? As I am just getting into historic costuming after years of sewing, I would love to meet others with similar interests and learn new things. Is there like a master listing of this type of event? Where could I find more info? Rebecca --- MaggiRos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else is going to be at Costume College this weekend.

The women's falls somewhere between mediocre and appalling. I've never read the books, but from watching the series (mainly to drool over Sean Bean) I suspect this is an accurate reflection of the relative importance of the female characters! -- Jean Waddie ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] little note....
Thank you Bjarne. I will certainly try to get to it. Beth Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2006 20:13:04 +0200 From: Bjarne og Leif Drews Hi, I read in an antique magazine about the exhibition. It says the exhibition is on now and last the rest of this year. Its at Rosenborg Pallace in the heart of Copenhagen, so it should not be difficult for you to find it.

Re: [h-cost] Costume College 2006
http://www.costumecollege.org/ I believe they're going to be changing the name for next year, but this link will tell you everything there is to know for now. Unfortunately, it's so popular, you can't just drop in. No memberships at the door, not even for the day! But if you happen to be in town, you can drop in to the Dealers' Room without being a member. I live practically on their doorstep, and I've never gotten around to going until now. Which is especially weird since I do so little costuming anymore. Oh well, it will be nice to see people, at least! Maggie --- REBECCA BURCH [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What and where is Costume College? And the GenCon that everybody was going to last week?

They host, among other events, a Masquerade on Saturday evening. It's held these days in Indianapolis, where they have a contract through at least 2010. It begins this year on Aug 10 and runs through the 13th , and you can buy day passes at the door. www.gencon.com Dawn ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] Cotton gloves?
Hi all, I remember someone telling us (maybe here, maybe on another list, but this one has more members so I'll try here first) that to embroider and embellish fabrics and not get them dirty, he/she cut the tips off simple white cotton gloves. What kind of gloves did you use, and where would I find this? Thanks, Audrey ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
