Re: [h-cost] Moda da Firenzie: Cosimo I
When the first book came out I ordered a dozen directly from the publisher and got a really good discount. They sold so quickly I regretted not getting more. If you have a group of friends who are interested, you might consider gettting them from the publisher. --Charlene On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 7:05 PM, Wanda Pease wan...@hevanet.com wrote: Did I miss this one, or has some mentioned that the companion volume to the Eleonora of Toledo Moda a Firenzie book is coming out this spring/Summer.

Those who love Norse may become deeply indebted to them. It's in this leaflet. I've written to Ian Stevens about missing out on telling me the second it was offered, hoping to reserve a copy. Anyone going to KZoo might be able to sneak a peek at the David Brown table.

I couldn't understand why it was so hard to get them to take my money by credit card, by Euro-check, anything! I wonder if there are enough Italian Renn types in the local area with money (the with money is the real hard part at the moment) to let us get up a larger order. Otherwise it's talk sweet to Ian, and let everyone who has to buy in onsies and twosies that David Brown has it. Besides, I want Ian to be able to buy David Brown. Then wheedle him into getting me an unsold copy of the Huge set on Elizabeth put out by the University of Warwick based on the three enormous volumes put together by J.D. Nichols from original documents still extant in the 1780's! I knew when they took this project on it was going to be bad, in fact so bad that no individual would be able to afford it (why couldn't they have done it on CD (because the original is 3,000 pages and ... Sigh) but $1,000.00 is just not going to happen. Not just the original information, but scholarly glosses on each item.

Re: [h-cost] 15th c sewing technique
-Original Message- he kirtle evidence sounds interesting. Do you remember which list you saw it on? (I'd love to check back to find the source.) -- Cathy Raymond ca...@thyrsus.com This would have been about 6-8 years ago. I am not sure which list. I was going to say 12th century yahoo list but I was only on that list for two years. Might have been the SCA garb list. I remember that the kirtle had portions missing but it did have some of the buttons still attached which is why I remember it. The buttons were not sewn onto the front of the kirtle fabric but along the edge. I usually gather info for myself, I usually don't think to record it as I think that most here already know most of the things I come across. It is very rare that I know of something that others do not. De ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] Exhibition of English wedding dresses since 1780
A new exhibition has opened, showing a collection of wedding clothes between 1780 and 2006. Although I haven't been able to visit it myself, I hope the information may enable others to do so.
