Re: [h-cost] OT: corset and breast augmentation surgery
A friend of mine had this surgery done a few years ago, she was very tender through her pectoral muscles and chest for quite a while, it might be a month or two before she can deal with the compression for any length of time. Even lifting her arms up hurt a lot. You'll have to play it by ear, it will depend on how fast she heals, and how fast her body and muscles adapt to the implants. Sheridan P.

A friend to whom I've promised a corset is having breast augmentation surgery: a boob job. How will this affect her wearing a corset? Is it a matter of days, weeks, years? Can I fit her if she doesn't wear it long? She's planning on asking the doctor, but I fear the doctor may not have experience with costuming. Thank you for any advice you can give.

Re: [h-cost] OT: skin tone mesh long sleeved shirt
To narrow your search, look for Bellydance costume makers/suppliers. Belly covers would be a good search parameter. I have the name of the place I bought mine from at home somewhere - Sugar petals is another one - I'll look it up for you this evening when I get home.

I'm trying to find a skin-tone mesh top of the kind that would be worn with a stage costume; but I would prefer a long-sleeved shirt (even better if it buttons at the crotch) to buying fabric and having to sew it myself. Does such a thing exist? And if it does, where can I start looking? Right now I find absolutely nothing and I simply can't believe that nobody else has a need for something similar. Thank you!

Re: [h-cost] Vintage police uniform
Have you tried your local city archives? Your local police may also have their own museum/archives you could check out. Good luck! Sheridan P Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:10:35 -0700 From: galadrielfi...@yahoo.com To: h-cost...@indra.com Subject: [h-cost] Vintage police uniform A co-worker of my mother-in-law has recently bought and renovated a 1929 studebaker and would like to have a matching vintage uniform to go with it. Does anyone have a source for online vintage police uniforms? Or, barring that, a good place for research? Ultimately I don't want to have to make it because I don't really have the time or set-up for it (my sewing supplies are all in storage in another state), but if I can at least give some pointers... Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [h-cost] Trade Journals
If I had to hazard a guess d-b would be double breasted. And even more of a guess, weren't all the old tennis sweaters v neck? Just my unedumacated guesses there. :0) Sheridan P From: pe...@costumegallery.com To: h-cost...@indra.com Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2010 22:32:59 -0500 Subject: [h-cost] Trade Journals I have been reading industry trade journal Clothes from 1968. There are a couple of terms that I haven't come across during this time frame. What is a tennis neckline for women? Can someone please point me to an image of one. Menswear: What is a d-b blazer? What does the d-b stand for? I have been looking to purchase more of these journals for years without luck. I can not find what was the run time of this publication. My issue are Vol. 3, so I assume this was the third year of publication. The publisher is PRADS and the magazine was produced twice a month on the 1st and 15th monthly. I really like the trade journals for the history of fashion industry. I have some 1890s Dry Goods Economist journals. Also, I have two Edwardian era books published by the National Wholesale Dry Goods Association...these were their annual symposium meetings and reports. I have a few National Association of Retail Clothiers trade journal from the WW1 era. Are there other trade journals that I should be looking for pre-1970?

[h-cost] Needed: Pattern for an adult sized muscle suit
Sorry, not very historical unless you count the 1990's. :0) A friend of mine has foolishly agreed to make her brother a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume for a local Comic con this fall. I found a couple of online links, but all the old ones I used to know of seem to be long gone and/or broken. Online is preferred, she wants to start this as soon as possible, and is for a 29 year old guy who doesn't sew. Thanks in advance!
