Oooh me too!  I sincerely believe that aprons were worn in the way depicted, but in this case it wouldn't even lie neat and flat with the sagging overdress underneath it.  The silk on linen is fairly stiff and would not just lie crumpled flat.  Gytha - Original Message From:

I like your thought about how the third brooch might work.  I'm wondering if the absence of the third brooch might be explained by the fact that this dress was not being worn, it was found in a box.   Gytha - Original Message From: Anne [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Historical Costume [EMAIL

No, some words don't seem to translate, like their word for fibula, which is similar, but different, but there was no particular untranslated word that would appear to describe the weave. I used to pieces of Thai silk that I had... simple tabby, and a weft-faced patterned silk for the patterned

Thanks for the link!  I know I read somewhere about the middle panel being patterned... and that it was 100 years older than the rest of the garment.  The abstracts are great and I think I need to buy it!   Kathy - Original Message From: Catherine Olanich Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I saw the exhibit in Los Angeles and enjoyed it very much. I hadn't seen previous exhibits, though I've seen the magazine pictures and the gold mask was there. In terms of history and costume (particularly jewelry) it was very nice. I would recommend the effort! Kathy - Original

any book about Tutankhamon and seen any pictures, you can almost guarantee that you'll see it in the exhibit -- and things you've never seen before. Except the mask. LynnD On 8/22/07, Gytha Stonegrinder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I saw the exhibit in Los Angeles and enjoyed it very much. I hadn't
