Re: [h-cost] Can you help me with this costume?

c1850. It was on display at the Museum of London recently. You could tell everyone you were a Victorian doing 17th c styles. grin The above writer is correct, a lace collar or bertha would be the big visual clue, as would a wig of bouncy spaniel curls. Have fun at the party, --cin Cynthia Barnes
