Re: [h-cost] New to me - Historic Clothing Reconstruction
I think this is the same exhibit that was at the Italian Embassy in DC for a couple of weeks in 2008. It too wasn't well publicized - I only found out about it by luck and had to make an appointment to see it. Very, very good, because I could get very close to everything and even back views of some of the reconstructions. I have photos; if there's interest I can put them on Flickr or the like. Allison T.

Re: [h-cost] New to me - Historic Clothing Reconstruction
I saw this exhibit at the embassy in DC. Most of the reconstructions are very good, but one had me wondering -- the gown was actually below the bosom so all you saw on top was the chemise over the mannequin's boobs! The neckline of the gown was at ribcage level. Kathleen Novell -Original Message- From: A.

I would love to see the photos! I almost made an Eleonora gown as part of my final project in college. Katy On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 2:46 PM, A.

Re: [h-cost] New to me - Historic Clothing Reconstruction
It was a amazing exhibit, but not well publicized. It was held in the CUNY Grad Center on 5th Ave. I went several times. The curator guard/ lady watching the stuff allowed me to crawl around the Eleonora de Toledo gown-- and she was wearing a farthingale, just as Janet Arnold said!
