I know some of the costumes from The King's Speech are okay as they are on display at FIDM, do I guess that is a lucky thing.

John has been in contact with various dance groups and is organising some teaching and dancing spots but as the eternal historical costumer, I'm looking for something to do as well as dance. We're teaching a dance workshop at the San Francisco Free Folk Festival on the 25, so there's a bad clash with the wig workshop. Sad, as I just received some wigs to practice on after chatting with the wigmaker at Williamsburg and it would have been nice to improve my skills a bit more.

RE: [h-cost] When and how did you start making costume?
When? 1994 or A.S. XXVIII, I was married and I wanted to be Elizabethan and I did not know how to sew. I priced some gowns in the marketplace, but they were not authentic enough to please me nor was their price in my range of life. I was living in An Tir, in Adiantum. I was approached by a lady there, and she said she would 'help' me to learn how to sewand so I purchased a Bernina older sewing machine for $75.00, but did not know how to use it! As time went on I found out I was on this journey by myself, and I made a lot of mistakes and tragic outfits. My poor Hubby and kid looked pretty badly most of the time! But I hung in there. I own a Husqvarna Designer SE now, and I have had compliments on what comes from my sewing roomno longer Well it was a good effort LOL!!! I still want to do better, and I shall continue to strive!!!

RE: [h-cost] filigree metal plaques...
I would also love to hear of anyone who has wholesale or inexpensive pieces. I go to the gem show and they have some but it is about 89.00 for what I need. They are not very big either. Also? Does anyone know a place that sells pearls on chain?

Hi, Does anyone know where you can purchase filigree metal plaques for making a Tudor / Elizabethan girdle? I'd like to be able to glue stones to the plaques to dress them up. I know there are people selling these girdles premade, so they have to be getting them from somewhere. Thanks Melody - Love cheap thrills?
