I joined sometime last year. The only way I found out about this list, is
from the search result regarding the Gothic Fitted Gown. I've my degree in
Theater, with focus in theatrical costuming. However, I am very interested
in the historical aspect of things - why things were worn as such, how
of an arguement on here!

Why must they be nasty arguements? While it's unfortunate some people react
that way, if there are valid arguements to be made which can be supported
through either research or even experience, and we can remain civil - isn't
that what constitutes a good discussion?

I agree. That level of maturity is what needs to be kept. It's all about
meta-cognition. You have to always consider where someone is coming from -

First, I don't think there exists a state that actually has money right now

courses offered by fabric stores - unless one is an absolute complete
beginner and even then, the projects are way too simple.
