Andy,
Have you tried contacting WWI reenactors? There have to be some out
that way. Also, check out http://www.ima-usa.com/. And, have you asked

What costume things did you learn in the 60s?
Tempera paint crayon masks, cutting holes for eyes in sheets. I
think I learned to crochet about then to make bridles for my Breyer
horses. I was a small kid in the 60s.
PS. Really enjoying stories of what the college kids were doing in the 60s.
Betsey Johnson had some cute, Laura Ashley-ish patterns; I still have one!

Wow, I thought it was grim enough. It boggles my mind to think of people

I had a Barbie doll dress kit. You cut out the fabric, but instead of
sewing, they had little, tiny, thin, twisty, hard to work with (can you tell
I hated it) double sided tape, which you were supposed to use to put the
thing together with. It never stuck correctly. I was bummed.

Thanks. If you can't dazzle 'em with your brains, baffle 'em with embroidery.
Very handsome it was, too.
I wore one of these to CostumeCon this year,
including lots of cross stitch.
