Well, if you hadn't been reading the news, last month "Topeka, KS" renamed itself to "Google, KS" in hopes of attracting Google's attention and their prototype super-broadband free network project. They obviously got the attention, but I'm wondering if this is a hint they're not in the running for the project. andy ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

[h-cost] 1880's ball dress
Hello, I am planning to take on a ball dress as my next project and wonder if anyone may be able to advise me. I bought the pattern from Ageless Patterns and think it is a lovely gown. However, instead of the plain styling along the edge of the bodice I want to have swags of fabric or something like that along the front, shoulder, and neck seams. This isn't in the pattern but find it was very popular at the same (at least based on fashion illustrations). Should I ultimately just drape strips of fabric along the edge and sew it down? Also, the pattern called for epaulets on the shoulder and pearl bead embroidery which is funny, because I thought by looking at the illustration it was supposed to be just regular embroidery and decided I'd want pearl scrolls since my fabric is brocade. Just comes naturally I guess. Any recommendations on any of the above? Also, if anyone knows how to put long hair into a period style please contact me. Thank you very much for your time. -Regards, Justine J. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Wikipedia has a decent little pictorial glossary of hat styles, although some of their definitions don't necessarily match up with modern usage.

I was thinking of something completely different, the kind of inner belt that some bustiers and strapless dresses have. These look like they'd be comfortable for those of us with bellies. I've been trying to design a modern version for exercise, that could be built into bike shorts.
