One of my dummies is on display at the Riversdale House Museum, wearing a dark brown short gown with dark blue floral design and a dark blue wool petticoat--this is one variant of the dress of enslaved African Americans in the early 19th century. There are four other figures included in different outfits.

It's that time of year when the calendar is full of spring teas, ummer holidays, Titanic era parties, winter balls, company dinners, he spring theater season, LARP goodness. You might even be planning a ojourn to thrilling foreign locale. Whatever the reason, h-costumers re probably making something. So, what's your dressmaker's dummy earing today? -cin ynthia Barnes inbar...@gmail.com PS. It's ok to run into the sewing room, toss something marvelous on he dummy and *then* tell us about it. It's also ok to tell what's in our design sketchbook, on the worktable, in the quilt frame, at the ewing machine or in the embroidery hoop. ______________________________________________ -costume mailing list -cost...@mail.indra.com ttp://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
