Evening clothes haven't changed too much really. I mean is it black tie or
white tie? Rent some evening wear. Lapels are wide, waists nipped (and at their
real level), and pants are pleated, wide legged and cuffed. Is it a dinner?
Dinner jackets have shawl collars, and I believe they can be

Hi All,
Has anyone got any firm research on how the Romano-British small animal

With a whole lotta hand work you could bead onto chiffon with strings of

beads? Or maybe strings/threads of a lame'-like quality? Just guessing from
