Re: [h-cost] CostumeCon 27 website
Just a quick suggestion - could you put the dates and city prominently on the home page? I had to finally go to the flyer to find out it was in Baltimore.

I went over to their webpage and it was nearly a blank slate. There's almost no info except for non-costume things like a quilt competition. Oh, sure lots of headers but all follow-on pages are blank. So, either I'm on the wrong site or there's no info out. Where's one to go for class panel info? Where's one to go for hotel info? Where are the future fashion folio designs? check again - it is all there (just unfortunately hard to read). All the masquerade info is under Events. I know all the Historic stuff is up, because I'm the director and I put it there long ago. Textile Arts has the info about the quilt contest, the Future Fashion Folio info is up (and ends Oct 1!), both the Historic and SF/F masqerades are under Stage, and the Single Pattern Contest is a link on the main Events page as well as by a yellow sticker on the main page. As to hotel info, see that annoying red blinking line about the free wifi parking? it says hotel just above that. And Registration info is under How to Join near the bottom on the left. And apparently the programming folks have made up a questionaire asking for ideas of what you want to see that has a link under programming - beside another yellow sticker. They'd love to know what people are interested in going to. yeah, I agree, it's not the greatest design in the world, and the background keeps breaking off any time the webmaster tries to make a change... but much of the basic early info is there. Actual forms will be posted as soon as the forms guy sends them to the webmaster sigh. Make sure you're going to the right page: http://www.costume-con.com/cc27/INDEX.HTM Oh, and I have been slowly posting bits of info as it comes out on the costumecon LiveJournal community. You can find stage dimensions in a post earlier this year over there. -Judy Mitchell ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

I can pass on the request - I'm only the Historic Masquerade Director, so I have no effect on the website. Actually, the date is on there in the red line in the lower center, but I agree it's hard to find (like a lot of things). Hey, Im trying to get him to turn the annoying blink off! People can always contact the webmaster, he might listen to people other than the 'routine nag' (not trying to pass the buck, but you know how people are when they only get feedback from one nagging source ;-) ). all the contact addresses may be found on http://www.costume-con.com/cc27/contact_us.htm .

Re: [h-cost] CostumeCon 27 website
Ayes, one of those. I understand, and will (in my spare time! Ha!) try to send an email to the webmaster to try to convince him that making the website more user-friendly will make attendance much higher! :) Rebecca Schmitt aka Agness Cabot, Guilde of St. Lawrence, Bristol Renn Faire * -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Judy Mitchell Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 9:25 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] CostumeCon 27 website Rebecca Schmitt wrote: Just a quick suggestion - could you put the dates and city prominently on the home page?

Re: [h-cost] wrinkles out of silk
I hung the skirt on the back of the bathroom door and just one shower was enough to loosen most of the wrinkles out of both layers of the silk! I have some modifications to do to the skirt hem and I'll press to get the creases that I want, but it looks like there's little to none of the other creases and wrinkles. alex always happy to find a process that requires minimun effort on my part :) On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 2:54 PM, Dawn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dampen and toss in warm dryer? Press with a higher heat? Use Steam with higher heat? obviously I don't want to ruin the fabric and I definitely don't want to lose the crispness of the duponi. Don't do the damp and dryer thing, that will just make it worse and you will lose crispness. I have good luck with a little steam, it doesn't have to be super hot. I use a lot of dupioni remnants for linings and they are always wrinkled. If you can press on the wrinkles with the creases pointing up, like this ^ it's better than pressing them the other way. If you have a small bathroom and can get it really steamy, you might try just hanging the skirt and seeing what will fall out of it that way.
