Re: [h-cost] HELP: What event is this worn to?
Dans la Tribune des Dames le jour des Drags What event was these hats worn? If I put in Google jour des Drags images come up like equestrian events. Was/Is there an equestrian event called Tribune/ Day of the Drags? I am just guessing...so the French speaking list members, go on...fall off your chair laughing at me. La Tribune des Dames could be a newspaper, but most likely... it also means a place to sit/stand, reserved for women. For example in the House of Commons, there was a place reserved for women who wanted to attend. I'm sure the same term could also be used to describe a stand space reserved for women who want to view a race, for example. As for the Jour des Drags... Drag is not a French word, so this makes matters slightly more complicated. However, it seems like all I can find agrees with you: horse races.

WOW! Look at those gloves! Ok, different question completely from Penny's, what is the first lady on the right wearing? Is that an over coat with netting in the center over her dress? ♫ Chiara Francesca -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Audrey Bergeron-Morin Sent: Friday, October 17, 2008 12:02 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] HELP: What event is this worn to?
