Ann, if you'd like to wear a fancy embroidered Scarlet H... No time for embroidery--I'm thinking about one of the ready-made applique letters, actually--but I'll see what I can do before tomorrow night.? Need to sew new hooks and eyes on my dress first.

Re: [h-cost] CC27
I'll be at CC27 this year. I will be lecturing on the history of sewing patterns at 9 AM on Saturday and hosting a Hairspray party at 4 PM also on Saturday. I hope to see h-costume folks there. I will be rooming with my Evil Twin Skippy - Cin Barnes who is an active member of H-costume.

Ah, shucks--no Hester Prynne jokes? Ann Wass IIRC, back in the day that h-cost peeps first started meeting at CCxx we chose the Scarlet Letter H for exactly that reason. (Thanks for getting the joke!) Oh, the conversation's probably in the archives somewhere. Should we plan a meet up? Coffee in the AM, perhaps? I'll be the auxilliary backup hostess at the Hairspray party, along with Misch Lee whom I met on this list back when rocks were soft. H-costume is certainly welcome to call that a meetup place.

I was recently reading 'The Gabriel Hounds' by Mary Stewart, which is set in Lebanon in, I think the '60's (1960's that is). The narrator is English but has been living in America and at one point describes herself as 'dressing like an American'. I was curious how differently American and English women might have dressed at this time. Is this another way of saying that she dressed informally? Or wore trousers a lot? --- I spent the 60s wearing coordinated Villager a-line skirt and cardigan combos with Oxford cloth Peter Pan blouses. Of course the skirt had to cover my knees or I would have been sent home from school (and it was a public school). I suspect that was not the typical American costume--in fact, that is more or less how I picture the typical English one--wool skirts and cardigans. But then mine was that kind of small town. Things changed when I went to college, of course, and discovered that you were allowed to wear jeans off the farm. Not sure this helps answer your question, but it was a slice of 60s America. Preppy (though my name is not Bunny and my father belonged to the Lodge rather than the country club) before there was such a thing. Jane in No VA, still wearing nearly the same thing now--jeans, loafers, blazers, and button down shirts. Villager has gone out of business, of course, so I have to make my skirts to get them dorky enough. (Now my 18th century clothing--THAT is another story!) ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
