I am not sure. It's one that's probably way outside the scope of this list, at least as it's phrased. Discussing strictures, sumptuary laws and appropriate dress for a period may be appropriate (and necessary to understand how to recreate historical costume properly) and it may be possible to have a dispassionate discussion about the cultural circumstances in which historical costume developed... ...but gross generalization is always inappropriate. andy _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
