Re: [h-cost] Yellow power tie?

Kate,
I graduated college in 84  recall being a bit amused  amazed that
all the office guys were wearing pink.  Yup. Pink shirt or pink shirt
white collar  cuffs. Either way, accessorize with a pinker tie.  Med
grey suit.  I'm remembering Wash DC/ Beltway Bandit office wear.
Straight guys, sales guys, IT guys, corner office guys all of 'em in
pink.
After that, moved to Silicon Valley where most arent sure what a tie is.
As for your show, pink might give a different msg given the AIDS
crisis context of the show.

Not hosting Oscars but I am commentating this weekend so I thought I'd freshen 
the look up with a gold brocade waistcoat (oh, and it's almost autumn),

A kirtle and ropa.  I *bought* the ropa, and I want to shorten it in  
the front -- and I'm going to try and take the emblems off (I'm hoping  
that the velvet won't be ugly about it)

Right now nothing, as I'm in the process of reworking the sewing room, but 
the wicker lady hanging from the ceiling has on a 1889 black silk Belgian 
corset.  As soon as I get rework done (last set of shelves to be made 
tomorrow!) I have 2 17th cen. petticoats to have done before the first of 
March.

I've seen that type of tunic called a Norman tunic (as in, the folks who 
invaded England in 1066), and it indeed resembles some of the images in the 
Bayeux Tapestry.

I finally got my new effigy corset (based on the info from Arnold's article in 
Costume) on my dress dummy. No photos of it on there yet, as my batteries died 
and are recharging. But here's the dress diary, if anyone is interested.
http://kimikosews.livejournal.com/tag/effigy+bodies
There are some progress pics there.

Next up is either the French farthingale, or the gown bodice so I can start in 
on the cording and spangles embellishments... not sure which yet.

The various hangers have a couple of Folkwear Egyptian shirts made 
floor length, and a basic tunic with a Grecian feel, both for Costume 
Con in May.
