Re: [h-cost] 1000th Post On All The Pretty Dresses
your site is marvelous! I was a tiny bit surprised to not see ANY Rational/Aesthetic/Pre-Raphaelite type things, but then I went out and hunted up Pinterest pages with those terms and found sufficient to satisfy, 8-) I did really love the older things, the Regencys especially. The gentleman's frock coat, oh my! that wisp of a Regency corset!!! thanks much! it's a great idea, and you're doing it very well, IMHO. chimene On Jan 9, 2013, at 7:23 AM, . . wrote: > > I know some of you know of my blog but I'm sure there are some that don't. > I've been "collecting" images from auction sites like ebay where vintage and > antique clothing pop up but disappear after a couple of months.

Re: [h-cost] 1000th Post On All The Pretty Dresses
Hi Marjorie! When you clicked on an image it took you to pinterest? I'll check on that when I get home. It should only do that if you click on the "P" that happens during a mousehover. Anywhere else on the picture should just bring up a larger version of that picture. If you want a larger version of any of the pictures, let me know. I do have an archive of them. What drives me nuts are the sellers that say you can cut up these lovely gowns for doll clothing. Sellers advocating the destruction of what are in many cases some of the few remaining examples of a specific style is irresponsible to me. I allow anyone to comment on any of the posts. If a seller sees one of the gowns they sold up, they are always welcome to comment or add any further clarification. I also love it when others comment for further clarification on various items I put up. I do sometimes email the sellers to tell them what time period their piece is from but well, some were very insistant that it was Great Aunt Mertyls that she wore to her wedding in 1923 despite the clearly defined waist, above the knee length skirt, and wild colors only seen in the 1960's and never again trimming. ;-) Sincerely, Isabella > Message: 2 > Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 08:42:43 -0800 > From: Marjorie Wilser > To: Historical Costume > Subject: Re: [h-cost] 1000th Post On All The Pretty Dresses > Message-ID: <0e360796-9e48-4943-ab53-9ca4ec227...@gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes > > Hi there Isabella, > > What a great idea-- those are indeed ephemeral and will disappear > into-- buyers wearing them, possibly .

Re: [h-cost] Is anyone there?
I made a 14th c. hood for a friend, with these nifty cast buttons (made by someone else and painted by me) and there will be photos eventually, but I didn't *get* any costume goodies. Then again, we didn't really exchange gifts this year anyway. I did finally find fabric for the lining for my winter coat (why yes, this is the second year of winter sans coat so far, why do you ask?) and it was ALREADY IN MY STASH So that was kind of like a present. :-) Jen We've seen no messages since December 18 - is everyone really that busy? Typical post-holiday question - What costume goodies did you get this year? I got "Steampunk Fashion" by Spurgeon Vaughan Ratcliffe. Also a bunch of cooking gadgets. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Hi there Isabella, What a great idea-- those are indeed ephemeral and will disappear into-- buyers wearing them, possibly . So you are recording the doomed before they go away forever. One can only hope the buyers might be responsible collectors rather than consumer/wearers. I will confess to disappointment when I clicked on one of the earlier images to find Pinterest expects me to join it to see them. I'm so tired of joining sites and logging in with "secure" passwords I could scream, so I sadly did not join and get to see the lovelies up close. I notice you let the sellers speak for themselves. Might you be adding comments later on? Some sellers of these kinds of things are (to put it kindly) rather ignorant of antique sewing techniques and styles ;) == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= http://3toad.blogspot.com/ "Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement." --MW On Jan 9, 2013, at 7:23 AM, . . wrote: Hello All!
