Appalling combos on most of mine: Euphrosnia: 1830s bodice of giant cabbage roses (a repro of an 1835 calico in the Smithsonian). She this bodice over a huge pointy silly chemisette waiting to be marked for the drawstring waist ties. She wears this over an 1860s hoop and and an 1861 skirt waiting to be marked for a hem.
Aglaia: 1912 winter dance frock in deep burgundy with small geometric patterns. She's oping someone will come along and finish the sheer chiffon "kimono" sleeves and finally attach that velvet waist so it can be done. Her neck stub sports a 1920s cloche in bubblegum pink & light grey silk satin with a "propeller" bow as trim. Adonis: a large vintage passementerie of glass jet probably from an 1890s cloak. Needs repair. Anne, Katherine (2 of the heads) are wearing an 1912 feathered headdress as worn the Last Dinner on the Titanic event this year, and a charming 1940s black wool felt hat found at the San Jose Historical Museum yard sale this summer. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 10:59 AM, <annbw...@aol.com> wrote: > Alas, nothing right now, except a couple of my husband's suits to mend (he > started a day job again this week.)
