Re: [h-cost] your dream costume trip
If I had three months, I have always wanted three months to research in Egypt. Within the next month or so, one dream trip is coming true. I am going to Philadelphia to see the King Tut exhibit. I would also like to visit the FIDM during Oscar week to view the film costumes nominated. Then watch the Red Carpet for the Oscars to see the fashions worn up close. I would also like to see Debbie Reynolds film costume collection I have also wanted to go to the Costume Institute at the MET, then see the Lion King play. I would love to go to Mexico for Day of the Dead. I saw a mini-version when I lived in New Mexico. I would also like to go back to the Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe, NM. This is one of my favorite museums. The displays are the best I have seen in a museum. Go to Carnival in Venice. Also, go to Rio for Carnivale. Another carnival related one, Gasparilla in Tampa, Florida. I would love to see the pirates taking over the city! I was so close to going to Gasparilla and couldn't because I was teaching at the time. These celebrations are actually high on my list with Egypt and the Oscars. I party hard when away from the kids! Those who have been at CSA symposiums know that I travel with a blender! Last weekend, another dream trip happened...not so costume related but fun! We went sailing on one of the tall ships. We took a short cruise on the York River from Yorktown, VA. We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary on a sunset cruise. I would also love to go to the Vatican to see the art collection and the castles in Germany. My husband has been to Germany several times and has been most impressed with the castles. I am known for getting kicked out of museums... not for my partying or my blender ; ! I stay in museums and state libraries until I am the last one there. I always get a guarded escort out. I just don't want to leave until someone says that I HAVE to leave. Well, last week, I got kicked out of the National Archives! A new notch on my belt. LOL! I have been to the archives several times to research but had never seen the exhibits. So far I have been kicked out of: ***London's National Gallery, the Portrait Gallery, Tower of London, VA, St. Paul's Cathedral ***Liverpool's Cathedrals (I'm bad when I get kicked out of the Catholic and the Church of England's Cathedrals) ***Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh: Guards followed us around because I wanted to look up close to every brush stroke. I believe another he-costumer was with me for this one! ***Williamsburg Museum: I didn't get kicked out, but I was setting off alarms from getting to close to the needlework samplers. I just wanted to see the stitches up close! ***Virginia Historical Society: I was drawing floor plans for a class. ***Virginia Museum of Fine Arts: This one was not my fault... #2 son was a baby and wouldn't stop crying. Irony, he majored in art in college. And he is a big art critic! BTW, this was my first museum to be kicked out of. ***Library of Virginia: too many times to count! I was doing research. ***LDS local Library: many times! ***I even got kicked out of the Painted Desert. I will retract my VA Museum of Fine Art response about my first. The Painted Desert was my first! Believe it or not, the Painted Desert does close. I asked the ranger if they draw a big curtain around it. My husband and kids thought it was funny. But the ranger didn't and escorted us out.

So let your imagination fly and come up with your own list Elizabeth In no particular order, and assuming I would be allowed into the archives/stores, I think I would need longer than three months. But, supposing I had time Kyoto The Hermitage in St. Petersburg - I've seen some of the clothes from there - more, more!! The Collections in Florence (Pitti Palace, Uffizzi etc.) Musee des Arts et du Textiles in Paris Musee Galliera also in Paris The museum in Holland that is twinned with the Paris set up Musee du Tissus in Lyon - all that silk Platt Hall in Manchester The DAR Museum in Washington - I only saw the stores, not what was on display, and left 30 minutes after the place closed, and 3 hours after the curator left!! The Met in New York Colonial Williamsburg - I was there for about 75 minutes and barely shifted the covers, let alone scrape the surface LACMA, where almost nothing is on display, but they have a huge collection And that is just clothing.

So if you had 3 months (just to set an arbitrary limit to what you can see but feel free to ignore any time it might take to travel between museums/countries) to travel the world and see every costume related museum you could what would you want to see. I'd prioritize several ways. Places I havent been: Museo de Traje (Madrid) Palais Galeria(?) sometimes there's fashion exhibits at Gallerie Lafayette (Paris) Musee de Tissu (Lyons) Tessuti The Lace Museum (Venice) Ranger's House jewelry collection (Greenwich, UK) Museum of London (London) Manchester all the costume collections in the UK that arent in London Bata Shoe Museum (Ontario) Stibbert (Florence) Forbidden Palace Museum (Taipei) Museum of the Confederacy (Richmond VA) that ones in Barcelona, St Petersburg Brugge Amsterdam and Bjarne's living room so I can see his work up close. Stuff I dont even know about in the US: (I'll wait find out what the rest of you list to fill this section in.) Places I have been, but the venue is small the collection so large that when it changes there's a whole new experience: Pitti Palace (Florence) Kyoto Museum of Costume, Nishiki weaving district and Kyoto School of Kimono (Kyoto) Musee de la Mode, Louvre jewelry (Paris) Bunka Gakuin and TNM (Tokyo) VA, Brit Museum jewelry collection (London) The Met, FIT (NYC) Eretz Israel ethnic costume collection (Jerusalem) Places that I've been, like the collection, but it's really an excuse to hang out with other stuff in the area: Benaki Byzantine Museum jewelry collection (Athens) Thessaloniki Archaeology jewelry collection (Thessalonika) Topkapi Palace jewelry collection (Istanbul) Provence Musee de Costume (Nice) funny, these are next to beaches in the Med! --cin Cynthia Bar,nes [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

RE: [h-cost] your dream costume trip
Interesting how different people respond to different things. My all-time favorite costuming stop was the Museum of the Confederacy. Go figure. I found the curator VERY accommodating--our scheduled half-hour behind-the-scenes-down-in-the-archives trip to look at a maximum of three items turned into a four hour quick and dirty look at every single piece of fabric in the archives. It all depends on what you are looking for, I guess. My husband and I are both very interested in military uniforms, which is much of the focus of course. However, I'm also an avid researcher of the city of Winchester, Virginia vis a vis the Civil War. One of my favorite diaries from Winchester was by Cornelia Peake MacDonald. Mrs. MacDonald had a new bronze silk dinner dress made in anticipation of a scheduled dinner with her husband's commanding officer, General Stonewall Jackson. Instead, Jackson was wounded at Chancellorsville and subsequently died of his wounds before the planned dinner could take place, and Mrs. MacDonald carefully packed away the bronze silk dress unworn. Finding it on display at the Museum of the Confederacy, along with Mrs. MacDonald's daughter's beloved doll which she also mentioned in her diary, was worth the trip for me and brought me to tears because I knew the story behind the scenes as it were. My husband, by contrast, had been reading a specific soldier's diary on our trip, and was thrilled to find the man's uniform coat down in the climate controlled storage units.And if you're looking for pretty stuff, the Valentine Museum is just down the street from the Museum of the Confederacy. They have one of the largest collections of women's historical clothing in the United States. They are also amenable to scheduled trips into the archives to examine their pieces. And again, we found the museum curator VERY accommodating, and spent several hours examining any number of garments over and above the allowed number before we adjourned for an impromptu lunch to discuss historic clothing. One place I haven't heard anyone mention is a bit off the beaten path. About four years ago, my girlfriend took me to the University of Rhode Island to see their historic clothing collection. I found a fabulous variety of women's dresses, outerwear, bonnets, shoes, accessorites, etc. that was very comprehensive between 1800-1920. Again, we were assigned a graduate student who was very accommodating and basically turned us and our cameras loose to spend a wonderful afternoon playing in the store room. I couldn't tell you the exact number of items they have, but I know I burned through two 1 gig memory cards in the digital camera in short order, and had to go down and get my friend's digi out of the car.Bottom line: I guess you get out of something what you're willing to put into it. If you're well-versed and interested in what a specific museum has on display, you'll probably go home happy. If you don't have a specific knowledge or interest, you're far more likely to go home disappointed. A friend just returned from a trip to China. She now regrets that she didn't learn more about Chinese history and culture BEFORE her trip, because many of the things she saw had little significance for her without the background knowledge.One other place I just remembered--if you're interested in historic military uniforms, an absolute must-see is the Artillery Museum in Newport, RI. Absolutely wonderful, lots of great things on display, and once again, tremendously accommodating docents and curator.LuAnn Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2007 14:31:13 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [h-cost] your dream costume trip To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC:--- Cin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:travel the world and see every costume related museum you could what would you want to see.I'd prioritize several ways.

Re: [h-cost] Your dream costume
I love the red dress from Bram Stoker´s Dracula. And I am fascinated by those medieval grand assiette sleeves. My dream is to be able to flat-draft the pattern for every measurement someday. But that´s just the skill and not the costume of my dreams... Hanna At 16:54 18.06.2007, you wrote: I was thinking of what my next costume would be and I came to an interesting question.

You mean, I have to be limited to just one? :-) Probably the costume I've been dreaming of for the past 5 years: a complete Birka Viking costume, with a caftan, a diamond twill apron dress, a wool tunic trimmed with wool and silver broacaded tablet weaving, a finely pleated linen shift, leather turn shoes, and sewn (or nalbinded) socks. Appropriate brooches, beads, etc would be a given. -- Cathy Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] You've got to have the proper amount of disrespect for what you do. -- George Mabry ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
