I think we won't have to go that abstract. Time and skill are probably more limiting than money, though I also wouldn't ask or expect parents to shell out for linen and wool for a quickie, one-time-use costume for a class-only event (as opposed to a show). --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
