I've put the pictures on the Tudor tailor list already.  There will be
a how-to along in a bit.  T'warnt hard.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tudor_Tailor_Reader/photos
If you're a member, look for the photo album named Cin's gowns or
somesuch.  The supportasse is the 1st 2 pics in the album.  I've since
covered the neck edge, but you can still see the wire work and solder
lines in these pics.
No, I dont think the original was soldiered, I just thought it was
easier for a novice wirebender.  I also thought the lightweight
tie-wires might snag my gown or ruff, so I went with a smoother
solution.

I've been in love with this supportasse for sometime, ever since a
friend brought back the Ghent Museum's costume catalog.  When I saw
the bigger pics in PoF4, well, Something had to be Done.

BTW, I just discovered your Compendium.  Lovely stuff and just enough
bite-side info for teatime.

I just got the email today that it was dispatched so I should get it some
time after my last exam is over (this Friday) when I've got free time to
examine it in minute detail. My dad bought it for me as a belated birthday
present (my birthday was in July but he was overseas at the time  I
couldn't think of anything I wanted so I said we'll go shopping when you get
home. Then I forgot  got busy with study  he reminded me that I hadn't
claimed my birthday present just as somebody on this list mentioned how
cheap it was on Amazon UK so I emailed him the link)
So you see, procrastination and indecision is a good thing! ;D

Yup. Mine got here last Friday. Totally cool - all in colour - and
explains all those weird construction bits we've been wondering about,
in detail. Vey interesting :-)

It's here! It's here! It's here

Mine got inspected by customs. Anyone else have this experience?

There is two little folds on the cover where they repackaged. Looks like it 
happened on the UK side. Kinda strange. But then, this happens to me every time 
I order something from overseas, must be my real world last name ... Havas a 
derivative of Hamas. Sigh, darn those family tree limbs ...

At the time I only knew about color. Then this afternoon the very nice
postman handed me my copies and WOW. Yes, color photos throughout the whole
first of the book. My oh my, I have too much to do today to read every word,
but I've paged through it all so far. Damn, I don't even care about 2/3 of
this stuff, but what a treasure!!!
