Applied? Really? I hadn't ever thought of that as an option--figured it was
either woven in, or fabric sewn in strips, like the later one of Lucretia?

I wonder if it was a regional style or something

One of the mistakes a lot of travesties make is that they use to much
makeup.
And colors that are too hard.

There seem to be a couple ways to wear drag. One is as a serious
attempt by a male to look like a female; the other is camp, or
essentially a costume joke. I still remember the team of (all genuine)
ex-Marines in miniskirts who had an act goose-stepping balletically
together down Market

The thing is--the modern costuming community is subject to trends and

other kind is. It is, however, incorrect to assume that a corset needs

In English, the words travesty and transvestite are closely related.
In older theatrical performances (Baroque, I know for sure; I haven't

Not offended at all! Some of us native English speakers assumed it was a

Who is the publisher? If they have a website, we can check for
publication date and price as the publication date nears. This would be
a dream book for me if the price isn't too high.

Pixel, is there any way of knowing if the sumptuary laws meant woven-in
stripes, applied stripes or pieced stripes?
That painting with Mary Magdalen looked like they might be applied.
Thanks to everyone who responded! I love this kind of conversation

It's still hung up in legal issues - estate, copyright, permissions... the
typical yadda yadda for publishing a book of this nature. It happens that my

However, whalehone, like plastic, adapts to the body shape
over time; and I have some old instructions about turning the bones
over when that happens.
That's why I thought about combinating plastic and metal. At least for the back
