That looks like the big ones all right. The smaller 1 volume Pictorial
History was published in the US in English in 1964. This one will go onto
my new Optic Book scanner which only handles 8.5 x 11. The big 2 volume set
are too large to go on any xerox I have access to, so it will be a digital

Hi, Robin,
I love the way you always analyze the cut and seaming of clothing for
its structural purpose -- it has taught me more about how fabric and

any period in the middle ages.
And about the silicone implants?

Hi all,
Looking through The Corset from Valerie Steele, I came to an interesting

Not directly related but somewhat related if you scan the DS 9 sci-fi
pictures of the Dabo girls you can see this effect. Some of them wear this

Robin, the only thing that comes to my mind of a dress that wraps around

Many years ago, a friend asked me to check it out for her, so I found it
