[h-cost] Another Historical Wedding Question
Hello! I am doing some digging around for rules concerning types of marriage in the British Empire in the 1870's. A Google search for British Common Law Marriage got me a Wikipedia entry that had a reference that mentions Marriage By Correspondence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_the_United_Kingdom#Scotlan). However, I have been unable to find any other mention of it. Do any of you have any more information about Marriage By Correspondence?

The $3.95 fabric there isn't really as unusual as it sounds. They also had some flat fold 3 and 4 years stuff for $1.95. Even better they have a HUGE selection of buttons (think of a post office package trailer about 3/4ths full). Good thing we had the munchies or we would have had to take a look at what the New Year would have had for us at the other store in Portland. Beautiful Cobalt blue, teal, dried blood red, pink, gold, etc. And we bought it all! Now we need the Sewing House Elf! Next stop JoAnns where I can pick up some 60 fabric cores to wind it all on and set it upright in the attic (no light streaking) in the big plastic tubs.

My name is Sarah and live in central Wisconsin. I first really got involved in history while walking with friends around Heidelberg Castle in 1992 and picturing people living there. I have been involved in living history since about 1994, mainly US Civil War but dabbled in other periods and most recently WWII. I keep coming back to Elizabethan and earlier, however, and most recently while doing my genealogy research (most interesting related to Henry VIII is an ancestor of mine is the grandmother to Catherine Parr). I have participated off and on with the SCA (more off than on) but am hoping to get involved again due to the focus on research and practical application (if that makes sense!). I am most interested in the social history of 16th Century England - especially that which caused people to head across the pond to the colonies. Right now I'm going through my fabrics and determining what I have and what I can do with it. I have some good sized pieces of wool flannel, linen, and definitely cotton. The silks I have are more 1860s pattern/ plaid and would not be appropriate for 16th Century. I am looking forward to getting started - and participating when I can. :) Sarah Sarah, Allow me to introduce myself especially to you. I am the Chairman of Costume-Con 28, which will be in Milwaukee in 2010. I am also affiliated with the ICG Guild in Chicago. If you are not aware of it, there is a growing general event in northern Chicago in early February called Reenactor Fest. http://members.aol.com/reenactorfest/chicago.html I will be there for the weekend and, if you want to use my room for a bivouac for a day, if you come, that would be OK by me! Just don't mind my other friends who might be doing that, too. Contact me out of group if you are. Or if I can be of any other help!

Re: [h-cost] Milwaukee/CostumeCon... Raphael?
And the museum is easy to get to from the CC28 hotel. You can either go out the main entrance, turn left, go to the end of the block, turn right and walk about a mile, or go about a half block and catch a city bus that will take you most of the way. The museum also has many other nifty bits of art that are worth wandering around and finding. Also, the Milwaukee Public Museum, www.mpm.edu, is maybe about four blocks away. The Streets Of Old Milwaukee are a great place to go in Victorian garb. If you have other questions about Milwaukee, let me know! Henry W.

[h-cost] Movie Recommendation from a Spy
Hello! I just saw Sherlock Holmes this morning and I recommend it! I am not a huge Holmes buff, but have seen various incarnations of it. I get a regular fix thanks to one of the local PBS stations running the good ole Jeremy Brett version all the time. I did have my doubts about Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes, but he does a good job and maintains his accent all the time, unlike one of the supporting cast. The men's fashion wasn't that exciting, but the women's was. I have to go see it again to see a dress that I missed during the scene that occurred when I ducked out for a moment. The technology was good and period possible. Although I have doubts about the taser that appeared in a lab. But its use was well done. There is even one gizmo that mixed all tech of the times. A definite good choice in this movie was Guy Ritchie as director. He is the one you did Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and Revolver. He is good at twists and turns, and then explaining it to the viewer in such a way that does not seem like a cheap plot device. Next weekend, I am catching Young Victoria. Henry W.

[h-cost] Places to see while at Costume-Con 28
Hello! While in Milwaukee next month, here are some places that I suggest you visit while here. Just four blocks away is the Milwaukee Public Museum, www.MPM.edu. It is the birthplace of the Diorama, which is still on display, and has an Imax theater. The Streets of Old Milwaukee are a great place to take photos of yourself in your Victorian or Steam Punk outfits. To the east of the hotel is where you can find the Milwaukee Art Museum, www.MAM.org. the Betty Brinn Children's Museum, www.bbcmkids.org, and Discovery World, www.discoveryworld.org, all on Milwaukee's Lake shore. To get to them, you can either walk or take the public bus. Just south of Milwaukee's downtown area is the Eisner American Museum of Advertising and Design, www.eisnermuseum.org, if you are interested in industrial design of the area. Also located downtown is the Milwaukee Historical Society, www.milwaukeehistory.net. Their museum is small, but filled with some interesting displays about Milwaukee's history. For those that are especially creative, there is store in town for American Science and Surplus, www.sciplus.com. The one here in Milwaukee is larger than the ones in Chicago, so they have things that were in the catalog, or never show up in the catalog. For years, people in Milwaukee have been going there to get odd things that have other uses. I'd also like to mention something that most people here have grown up with. Its the phrase Cooler by the Lake. Milwaukee is situated on the shore of Lake Michigan. Downtown Milwaukee can be 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the rest of the city. So, despite the forecast for the time of year, I'd suggest you bring a jacket or sweater. Of course, there will be an outing to The Safe House, www.safe-house.com, on Thursday night. If you are interested in this outing and have not contacted me that you want to come along, please e-mail me at cc2010m...@cs.com. Be seeing you! Henry W.

[h-cost] Another place to go while at Costume-Con 28
Hello, again! I have found out that Canvasbacks, a company that had made high end women's clothing, that now mainly sells their remaining fabric from Europe, will be open the Thursday and Friday of the convention. With the exception of the fabric for ties, everything is 60 inch wide. The prices range from two dollars to twenty dollars, with a few things higher than that. They have wools, satins, silks, cottons, all in patterns I have never seen any where else! They will be open 10 AM to 2 PM, but, if they know there are still many coming from the convention, she will stay open a bit later for us. They are at 1039 South 2nd Street, which is about five minutes from the hotel. We, here in Milwaukee, have been going there for years and hope they continue. But they may close at the end of May.

Hello! I bought a Campaign hat from Janet Wilson Anderson, Alteryears, at CC30. The brim is not as stiff as I would like. I was thinking spray-on starch. Any ideas? Henry W Osier ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

I think it has a plastic ingrediant that may work..? Other wise, try edging the brim with hat wire or 18 guage wire which is whipped on the edge by hand...unless you are adept with a zigzag on your sering machine. Tedious, but sure. Stiffy sounds like a possibility. Thanks for the suggestion! Henry Osier ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

[h-cost] Terms for men's pants
Hello, Last Sunday, a friend came to a Steampunk St. Patty's Day party sporting knickers. I am in the habit of calling them knee-breeches from my Rev War days.

Re: [h-cost] New York garment district
Oh good lord! Just two? MJ Trim is a great shop. They have a website, fyi. Nearby, there is a block or two with little fabric store crammed to the gills next to another little fabric store crammed to the gills, next to another one. All of them have slightly different fabric. And they make deals for cash. It is on the same street as Beckenstien's, http://www.citysearch.com/profile/7085136/new_york_ny/beckenstein_s_men_s_fabric_czar.html which has men's suiting and makes suits for the stars.

[h-cost] Lincoln Funeral Reenactment
Hello, I found out about this recently. They are doing a reenactment of Lincoln's funeral in Springfield, Illinois the first weekend in May. People can join the mourners as long as they approve your outfit, and you pass a security check. That is because President Obama and other high ranking political people will be there. They even have a perfect replica if the hearse! For me, I am going to try to go, even as a spectator. It is about two weeks before Costume-Con and I only have a limited amount of money. Henry W.
