It was exciting when I worked at the MFA in Boston when Janet Arnold came to the textile Dept. to study some items for her next book, the Renaissance PAtetrns of Fashion (she was also doing the final edits on Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe). It was fun to see Janet Arnold drawing Janet Arnold pattern diagrams in front of my eyes. She was such a nice lady.
