I've seen some seriously tacky [EMAIL PROTECTED] aimed at the non-sewing SCA crowd (and, I assume at other non-sewing reenactors/hobbyists of relatively same time frame and required authenticity level), and that particular gown's right in there with the "please, god, make it go away" stuff.... IMHO, of course. --Sue, needing to go fondle some of her wool flannels just to take the taint away ;o)
