Re: [h-cost] Queen Maud's wardrobe
We had family friends in Norway (my father did military service there in the aftermath of WW2). I've heard it said that in later life Queen Maud used the public passenger ships to visit England and would sit in the lounge knitting.

[h-cost] 15th Year Anniversary
Today our The Costume Gallery Websites 15th Anniversary. Hard to believe that we have been online that long. I started the online Research Library as a college student. This was also my first year on h-costume. I hope some of those members from then are still on h-costume. If so, many, many thanks for all your support while I was building my first website. In 1996, there were only a handful of costume related websites. After having trouble finding sites to research, I started the online Library and purchasing old costume history publications to put on the website. I rarely give my own opinion on the sites' content. I save my opinions for Facebook. My goal all these years with the websites is to present the resources for others to research. To celebrate our anniversary, we are opening up free access to the public for 13 of 14 websites. The Costume Classroom is only open to our students. Please let your friends know about our free access. Our Anniversary free access will end Friday night, 10 PM, East Coast U.S. time. Passwords and details are below.

This is a possibility for sure...she and her sister certainly dressed alike into adulthood. But for me, I find it strange that a Worth gown would be copied for two prominent Queens who might wear IT for very public occasions. Their unique style of Dress was important to both these women.

Re: [h-cost] 15th Year Anniversary
Thank you Carol. I did the h-costume directory in 1997 or 1998. I had forgotten all about the directory. That was fun! It is so hard to believe it has been 15 years online for my business. My daughter Katie was 4 years old when I started my business. She would fall asleep in my lap while I was on the computer. Now she is in college. Drea Leed started her website just after mine. Costumes.org was after Drea's. Julie Zetterburg Sardo of The Costume Page and I finally met at the last Costume-Con. We talked about what were the first mega costume history websites. Hers was the first site. Mine was third or fourth. I can't tell you how excited I was to meet Julie after talking online for so many years. I also finally got to meet h-costumers old timers Sandy Pierre and Robin at the same Costume-Con!!! What a blast! So who are the old-timers on h-costume that are still here? What year did you join h-costume? I joined in 1995 while taking my costume history classes in college. I was so excited to find out there were people all over the world who loved costume history. Today I guess people a lot of people do not understand how little about historic costuming was online in the mid-1990s. H-costume was the only email list that I could find around the time. Oher lists followed h-costume like Vintage clothing, f-costume (fantasy) and h-needlework (historic). F-costume is still around on yahoogroups and h-needlework is on ansteorra.org. I miss some of the h-costumer old-timers who are not on the list anymore like RL Shep, Margo, and Teddy. I can't tell you what an important part of my education that h-costumers played in my life.Shep used to give me so much good advice about publishing in this area.

Re: [h-cost] 15th Year Anniversary
So who are the old-timers on h-costume that are still here? What year did you join h-costume? Don't remember the year, but it was right after the group started. The vintage clothing list (now defunct) preceded h-costume, and the founder of h-costume mentioned the new h-costume list there. Are you sure Margo Anderson is not still on h-costume? As for Robb Shep, he retired years ago. But yeah, it used to be that anyone having a costume web page, or any kind of web page, was much more visible than now because in the early Internet there were comparatively few web pages.

[h-cost] 1620s jacket vs waistcoat
Hi all, I've been reading through the old Plymouth Plantation embroidery blog for their reproduction embroidered jacket, and they were talking about waistcoats and jackets, but in a way that made them seem interchangeable. I've tried googling their blog directly to see if they explain anywhere what the differences or similarities are, but all I found was one article that mention jackets, while the links themselves mention 3 waistcoats and 1 jacket. http://thistle-threads.com.mytempweb.com/blog/index.php/2009/01/new-jackets-to-view/ There was an earlier article where they said that the women would wear their smocks, petticoats and stays while indoors, but would not leave their homes without wearing a waistcoat or a jacket. I had thought waistcoats were like vests, but this is a time period that is new to me so I am not sure what they meant by waistcoat. Would anyone here be able to explain what the differences are, if any?

Re: [h-cost] 1620s jacket vs waistcoat
As far as I am aware, a waistcoat was a 'coat cut to the waist' i.e. a jacket. It would usually have sleeves but sometimes removable sleeves. These were worn by both men and women.

Hey, stop callin' me old-timer! I checked the archives found my oldest post from 24Jan1994. I was on reading the list before that date, maybe Nov93. Somewhere in there the first h-costume outing occured. It was to the costume shop wardrobe department of the now defunct American Musical Theater of San Jose with lunch and costumer's brag book showing at a nearby Chinese restaurant. (Back then, you may recall, we had real albums with paper pictures, not just albums on Facebook. I laugh to think of the changes.) I've learned alot, bought a lot of books, made a lot of gowns alot of h-costume friends since then.
