David Brown's current listing if for $90 plus shipping (usually $5.00). You need this book. Grab it before it goes out of print and availability completely. It isn't going to get any cheaper to buy ... Actually, all these great imported books are seeing price increases whenever the U.S.

Perhaps you could ask Bella. This is her website http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net/ At the bottom of the page there is a email button. She has the most extensive site on Venetian costume that I know of. Oonagh's site (Deborah Lane) comes in a good 2nd place.

Robin, I'd recommend contacting Ann Rosalind Jones or Margaret F Rosenthal. They have a new book coming out in the Fall on Vecellio's Costume book, here are a few excerpts off of the Realm of Venus site. http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net/library/newvecellio.htm Ms. Jones is at Smith

Yes! That is exactly the right one! When I first saw him - probably 10 years ago, because he was the inspiration for the look of a blackworked shirt I entered in a Kingdom AS - I found him in color - the black and white of the shirt was gorgeous against the red suit. Thanks! AT least I know

Re: [h-cost] drafting/scaling corsets to size,

Hi Zuzanna, I just wanted to post a question about what methods you use when drafting/scaling corsets to size. Any way that works at the time. ;-) Generally speaking I create a proportionately close copy of the original I am working from based on the bust/waist/hip measurement I am aiming for,
