Our local Wal-Mart opened without one, and doesn't even carry much in the
way of notions.
Anyway, a letter-writing campaign may be in order to save what is left.

the other three local WalMarts.

Hi,
I am planning to spend some money and I have a real dilemma. I am hesitating
between Moda a Firenze and Queen Elizabeth's wardrobe unlocked. I've heard very
good reference on both. I do not have any special area of interest, so Florence
or England are both interesting to me, but I would

My vote would be QEW. It meets your requirements and has just great
fundamental knowledge that seems to be becoming the standard. The other book
is lovely too, but if I had to pick it would be QEW.

All other things being equal, I would buy Elizabeth and save up for
Moda next time. Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe has more of the wonderful
details about who made what and with what tools; it's more of a
snapshot of Elizabethan clothing industry, with an emphasis on Royal
clothing.

originals, or by using some period millinery manual? When will the
articles be published, I'd like to read them?

I don't know the answers to your questions (I didn't go to her turban wrapping

Hello all,
Good idea to stay clear of Wife Swap. I'm on a local SCA (Medieval) list and
ABC tried to find takers last year or so for I guess another angle on the SCA.
After being told no, ABC tried to contact others by using different names and
reasons for the contacts. Everyone on the list
I'd check the local library to see if they have one or both. Look at them and
make a decision. If they only have one, buy the other one. That you'd have
access to both editions.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Rautine

QEWU would be my choice, mainly because I am focused on English, and it

But Moda really is worthy in its own right.

Not all the QEWU pictures are black and white. There are a fair number
of color photos in the volume. All the photos are documented, so if you
wanted a color image you could track them down.
Thanks!

It kind of depends on what you're using it for.
I have some that I bought from another company and I washed it in warm water
and dried it on low. It has since been washed on gentle in cold water and is
hung up to dry. I made a cotehardie with it.
