As far as the comments that seem to disparage beginners,
Uh, when did anyone disparage beginning costumers?

hink they do a tremendous job of
providing information and
instruction on costuming of various time periods.
And now I will step down from my soap box. :)

My impression is somewhat different--but then, so may my definition of
"beginner". To me, a "beginner" is still learning to sew, let alone apply
that knowledge to historic clothing.
I'd say "beginning costumer." I think they are right in focusing the
site on costuming and not on sewing basic

The "marketing prose" strikes me as pretty tame and tasteful as print or
Internet marketing go. Of course, everyone's mileage will vary on that sort
of thing.
I think I'm reacting to the fact that the marketing is so targeted to a
beginning audience. However, much of the website is targeted

Thank you so much for the trial period!

Marion,
Thank you, and all who replied, to my original post. Since I had never
heard of your site, I was wary. So many times I have seen magazines,
websites, and classes advertised to teach period skills I wanted to
polish, only to find the instructions geared for beginners. While I am

Do not let that it may not appear to cover your period push you away. If you
want to see it, ask for it. She is very flexible and s sweet to

Do you know what the contributor payment range is? I don't do much magazine
work any more but if the price is right . . . .

By the way, I'm curious to know what people think of the marketing prose
for this site. Personally, it sets my teeth on edge. It's much too slick
and to me, seems reminiscent of those junk mail letters where they
underline words in red and print little notes in the margin. But then,
what I want
I've had a subscription since the beginning- its been excellent. Learnt
heaps and been inspired to do even more.
Lately its been this site and Open Journal that has kept me going.

I've met the site owner, when she came to Costume College last year and wore
her incredible Worth gown reproduction, and taught a couple of classes. She
also has a LiveJournal blog that she occasionally will post to.
I don't have an opinion of the site itself, as it mostly covers a time period
