I would say it is definately worth getting, but not at that price! It was also
published in English as The Pictorial Encyclopedia of Fashion and you can find
it on Amazon for a much better price and only $4 shipping from the U.S. vendors:
The time frames I am looking at are 1450-1500 Italy, and various aspects of
the
Victorian/Civil War era, in case folks have book suggestions for those.

Only a few years later, you find the infamous Spanish diagonal plaids.

They still don't answer the question of cut on the diagonal or woven that
way? but they don't seem to be an artistic convention for heraldry. They
could not be stripes tacked on
This is too modern for my interests but I thought some people would be
interested. It sounds like a lovely book.

While checking out the latest list from Michael Shamansky, Bookseller, I found
something that should interest the medievalists, especially if they can read
more than 1 language:

I haven't read any of these books but I used to carry Joan Evans' History of
Jewellry when I was selling books and I wouldn't recomend it for what you're
looking for, especially at that price. 7000 Years of Jewelry is listed on
Amazon US, and some of the pages are shown. Great shots of
My former mother-in-law would take everything that wasn't nailed down at a
restaurant visit. One time she slipped several of those little containers of

Thanks for the links to interesting images that I hadn't seen before.

If you look up Ages of man you'll find a lot of images of a baby walker. It
is the visual reference for just past infancy and not yet old enough for the
hobby horse stage.
This post seems to have lots of images to show what you are talking about;
however I can not access any of them - I ge a forbiden note at the top of
every page. Is there another way to see these images?

Your best bet is to cut a modest size square, measure it and then wash it the
way you want. Measure it again afterwards and see how much it has shrunk up.
Personally, I would wash it in cold water gentle cycle and hang dry (not easy
when you have 10 yards of fabric, but much safer!)
This is another site with pictures and discussion of the new find.

Our next trip will hopefully be to Pennsic or World Con to photograph
costumes. We are trying to figure out which one is better and the expense. We
have to travel to Mississippi the prior to take our son to college. Following
Pennsic or World Con week, we are in Scranton, PA (hubby's
guessing on that one, as it's been years
since I took that route.)
Is this your first Pennsic? Be warned - once you get there, you may not want
to leave to go anywhere else!

A Villager shirtwaist was a dress, usually cotton, with a full skirt.
Villager was the brand - they had a whole line of rather preppy style clothes
that were more expensive than other clothes and only were made up to a size 11.
