We had family friends in Norway (my father did military service there in the
aftermath of WW2). I've heard it said that in later life Queen Maud used the
public passenger ships to visit England and would sit in the lounge knitting.

Today our The Costume Gallery Websites 15th Anniversary. Hard to believe
that we have been online that long. I started the online Research Library
as a college student. This was also my first year on h-costume. I hope
some of those members from then are still on h-costume. If so, many, many
Congratulations, and thanks for the free access, Penny.

Do you think it is one of those situations where they had gowns designed to be
identical? Princess Alexandra of Wales (mother of Maud) and G.D. Maria
Feodorovna of Russia (aka Dagmar of Denmark) did that even as adults, but they
were sisters.
From: R Lloyd
This is a possibility for sure...she and her sister certainly dressed alike
into adulthood. But for me, I find it strange that a Worth gown would be copied
for two prominent Queens who might wear IT for very public occasions. Their
unique style of Dress was important to both these women. I am
Congrats and thank you, Penny!
Has it been that long? I remember back when you did the directory of
H-Costume members. Was that around the same time?

Thank you Carol. I did the h-costume directory in 1997 or 1998. I had
forgotten all about the directory. That was fun! It is so hard to believe
it has been 15 years online for my business. My daughter Katie was 4 years
old when I started my business. She would fall asleep in my lap while I
WOW What a beautiful dress!

So who are the old-timers on h-costume that are still here? What year did
you join h-costume?
Don't remember the year, but it was right after the group started. The
vintage clothing list (now defunct) preceded h-costume, and the founder
of h-costume mentioned the new h-costume list there.
I think Margo is still on here, as I remember her posting something not too
long
ago.
I remember joining sometime in the mid to late 90s, but I don't recall which
year. I used to save off and print out the old posts to keep as a reference,
but
now I just keep interesting ones in its own
I was there, but infrequently. Life blew up in my face about 1997, so
maybe I missed the directory.

Hi all,
I've been reading through the old Plymouth Plantation embroidery blog for their
reproduction embroidered jacket, and they were talking about waistcoats and
jackets, but in a way that made them seem interchangeable. I've tried googling
their blog directly to see if they explain anywhere
Yea Kimiko! You are in the h-costume old-timers club! Do you want a walker
or cane? I remember when Margo was going through the process of developing
her business. Wonder what year that was.
Thank you for your work when an intern for my Library!

I am very, very new here, but... I remember when many member websites and
businesses were in their infancy. I really enjoyed discovering them, and I'm
so grateful to everyone who unknowingly refined my love of costuming.

As far as I am aware, a waistcoat was a 'coat cut to the
waist' i.e. a jacket. It would usually have sleeves but sometimes
removable sleeves. These were worn by both men and women.

Somewhere in my library there is a note re waistcoats and jackets that
describes the diff as being with or without sleeves. Any one else have seen
this listing?

Hey, stop callin' me old-timer!
I checked the archives found my oldest post from 24Jan1994. I was
on reading the list before that date, maybe Nov93. Somewhere in
there the first h-costume outing occured. It was to the costume shop
