Re: [h-cost] mystery term
I found this... Full text of Modern dancing / by Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle ... www.archive.org/stream/danceman240/danceman240.txt The Hesitation Waltz-The Waltz Walk- 66 V. The Tango Argentine-The .. that flare out full at the hem of the skirt to give the wearer room to dance; ... One might go on indefinitely telling of these things; of the return to fashion of the ankle-length skirt and of the new Paris frocks that flare out full at the hem of the skirt to give the wearer room to dance; of the new lingerie, in which everything is combined in one garment, easily slipped on, so that every muscle of the body may have full play for the lithe and lovely measures of the Innovation Waltz, the One Step, and other favorite dances.

Doesnt the Hesitation Waltz belong to the teens rather than the 30s? --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com On Sat, Oct 8, 2011 at 6:28 PM, Margo Anderson li...@margospatterns.comwrote: On Oct 7, 2011, at 6:19 AM, Astrida Schaeffer wrote: Anyone ever heard of a hesitation hem???

Re: [h-cost] mystery term
Hi-- Thanks to all who've tried to help on this one! I came across the term through a friend who saw a dress exhibited with that as part of its description, and she was curious and asked me the costume expert. (um…). I don't generally deal with this period, and tried searching, and got nothing at all. So at least now I have a little something, thank you! I'm going to try contacting the museum and seeing if anyone there actually can explain it. And if they can, I'll share with the list.
