RE: [h-cost] Costume related Thesis of interest
Thanks for the theses list. I do interlibrary loan and getting a thesis loan from another library is about a 10%-25% success rate at best. Dissertation Abstracts International is the best source to actually purchase a copy, but there are many theses that simply aren't available, especially anything older than ten years. And they aren't cheap. I purchased a bound two volume thesis about 25+ years ago I badly needed for a paper and it was $30 then. No, it wasn't historic costume related, but I still have it(Like this cost me a whole $30 and I had to eat peanut butter sandwiches for lunch for a month to make up the cost of it and the rest of my interlibrary loans for the stupid paper which I did snag an A for anyway!).

I'm surprised the degree has such a late date on it, as this is the work that got Margaret Scott the job of writing the 14th-15th c. volume of the Visual History of Dress series in the mid-1980s. She studied at the Courtauld, and IIRC almost no one there was doing work in the medieval period at the time. I don't know if anyone else has ever done an in-depth study of Scottish medieval dress. Among the little I recall, she showed how Scotland got much of its influence from Flanders, as England got its influence from France. I've noticed that bits and pieces of this worked its way into her other writing over the years.

I was just in Hawaii--the same area in November/December. The Aloha stadium has the market but on game days it closes at 2 pm the other days it is later-- Open every Wednesday, Saturdays and Sundays from 6am-3pm. There is a $1 fee per person over age 11 also. There are a number of booths that sell clothes and a few that sell Hawaiian print material there. Their website is: _http://www.alohastadiumswapmeet.net/_ (http://www.alohastadiumswapmeet.net/) Hilo Hatties (_http://www.hilohattie.com/_ (http://www.hilohattie.com/) ) is another great store to got to. They are a good place to get food at plus coffee. If you want to bring home pineapples this is a great place to get them as they are packed with the approved agricultural stamp for customs--this applies for anything going out of the state--even to the rest of the US. Each airline allows for so many to be brought on the airplane in addition to your luggage without a penalty--they will tell you the current regulations if you ask. For an added fee they will mail them directly to your house also--their name brand stuff can be mailed home also. If you check in the discount area of Hilo Hatties there might be some wrap skirts that are on the larger size but for a great deal. I bought one of those to remake into something my size as I loved the print and the price was right.

Just a comment from the university point of view on the question: Very often the university has only a single copy of a thesis available to the public -- I know U.C. Berkeley only as a single copy of mine. And that one copy is the proof that it was ever written in the first place. (My department also has a copy, but it isn't for public circulation.) So the consequences of that copy going walkabout while off on interlibrary loan are fairly dire. This might explain why they're a little leery of lending them out.

I'd dry clean it also. However, do you have a cleaners that uses the CO-2 cleaning method? It uses far less chemicals and lower temps than regular dry cleaning processes. Since we got one in our town (Here in Lincoln, Nebraska, the chain is Hangers), I haven't used anyone else, and have had good results, including getting cigarette smoke smell out of a wool beret. Another argument for dry cleaning - rayon can shrink, even in cold water on gentle - I washed the top of a rayon pantsuit after spilling something on it - it shrank enough that I couldn't button it after. It might make your dress look like it was made of bubble fabric - not a good thing. Sandy At 08:34 PM 2/8/2008, you wrote: I just bought a nice dress that is 75% rayon, 25% polyester.

monica spence wrote: I'd dry clean it. Rayon sometimes is not colorfast to washing. If the tag says dry clean, then dryclean. Most of the time the tag says dry clean because the manufacturer doesn't know how to clean it, and dry cleaning is safe. They are required by law to put care tags on the garments, but for many it is too much cost and effort to research the best method for a particular fabric or a line of clothing. So it says dry clean and they are covered. It's probably ok to hand wash it in cool water with a mild soap. If you are concerned about colorfastness, test swab it with a damp q-tip or cotton ball.
