But it's true, you never know where your costumes will end up. I made a pile of costumes for the IMAX movie they use at Hearst Castle (don't ask) about the life of W.R. Hearst. The clothes barely appear in the movie, but one of the outfits went from Cosprop (the supplier) to ABC Costumes, a hire house, to a school hire department - schools hire costumes from there for plays!

[h-cost] OT: ISO scan of a Morris tapestry
I'm looking for someone who has a better picture than I do of the 19th-century tapestry from Morris Co. called Adoration of the Magi (designed by E. Burne-Jones). All the pictures I can find on the Internet are tiny (400 pixels or so) and all the details of the original are invisible. I need a better look at this, so if anyone has a book with a better picture in it, I'd love to hear about it. This was one of the most popular Morris tapestries, so I know there are examples out there and some of them have probably featured in books.

Re: [h-cost] my very first francaise dress
Hi, Yes you are right about this, and the bad thing about the ghost story at Selsø is that it dont fit with any of the persons who lived there. There is a tale about a wife who killed her husband in the bed, because she was so jealoux about his life with other wimen, later that night she regreat her deal, and threw herself out of the window down into the water where she drowned. The story points out that it was the wife of a person who rebuilded the castle in the 1730ies, problem with that is that he was a widower, his wife died before him. I can only laugh at such people who think they feels other things than the rest of us, they are not telling the trouth. My dress ended at the castle because i gave it away to them, so they could exhibit. They needed things, because it was almost empty of interriors.

[h-cost] Interesting 1890s Group Photo
Today I purchased at an antique store a really nice large group photo. I thought you all would like to see it. The cabinet card photo's back is written Uncle Lem Donahue's home at Sandyville, West Virginia. The raw image is at: http://www.costumegallery.com/Photos/WestVA.jpg Same image with markings of interest: http://www.costumegallery.com/Photos/WestVA2.jpg The photo images are really large for you to view the details and compare the two images. If you are viewing the Internet Explorer, make sure to place your cursor on the lower right corner. Wait for the little box with arrows to appear then click on it for the enlargement. I do suggest to open two windows to do the comparison. I am trying to figure what is the occasion/event of this photo. Details: A. Two girls holding porcelain dolls. B. Two elderly women holding bonnets in their hand. C. Two men holding up papers in a display manner. D. Toddler girl in a floor length dress E. Baby in a long white dress F. I don't know if this is a ghost part of the photo or a blur. It is of a man on a horse. G. I am not sure if this is two ladies or one lady who moved while the photo was taken. OVALS: I placed ovals or circles around what maybe flowers/corsages. A couple of girls are holding flowers. Several of the children at wearing hats and some boys are holding theirs. I wish I could find a group photo like this of my family. Maybe this photo can make its way back to Uncle Lem's family or if I can find the county's library and send it to them. The dealer told me that he had looked up Sandyville, WV on the internet. He said it was a community not a town.
