The marketing prose strikes me as pretty tame and tasteful as print or Internet marketing go. Of course, everyone's mileage will vary on that sort of thing. I think I'm reacting to the fact that the marketing is so targeted to a beginning audience. However, much of the website is targeted

My impression is somewhat different--but then, so may my definition of beginner. To me, a beginner is still learning to sew, let alone apply that knowledge to historic clothing. I'd say beginning costumer. I think they are right in focusing the site on costuming and not on sewing basics per

I've met the site owner, when she came to Costume College last year and wore her incredible Worth gown reproduction, and taught a couple of classes. She also has a LiveJournal blog that she occasionally will post to. I don't have an opinion of the site itself, as it mostly covers a time period
