De4ar Penny,
Here's a few more guesses to throw in the ring.
#4 - looks Aztec or Mayan from the headdresses.
#14 - Hungarian or perhaps Polish? (taking it from the woman's red boots)
#15 - Greek?
#17 - French ? Briitany?
#20? 1770-1790 - this is supposed to be depicting AMERICAN dancing??
I want to thank everyone who gave me some ideas of what to do with my 5+
yards of black linen. It may go for bodice lining primarily, but some of the
other non-monochromatic images were intriguing.
(I have to stop buying material for which I have no immediate use, I keep

My h-costume santa sent some lovely hand made lace sewn to make a beautiful

Dear h-costumers,
As I went about my Christmas shopping with my lists from my college age
children who all want cds and dvds for gifts now, I was at Borders Bookstore
and
(having printed a few cupons from the internet from their site) I was ablel to
get 25% savings on a book and a cd.
I'd be happy to share my script and song list
with anyone wanting to recreate a Victorian parlour and present these
terrific pieces--

I would love to have a copy of your production script! I am always looking

The former curator very kindly arranged for Anne and I to meet with Linda
Baumgarten at Colonial Williamsburg for an hour and a half, where we got to

My husband realised he had been going to costume films with me too long when
his first thought at a lady taking off her bodice in a film was Hey, she's

That's great education! I knew I had hit a high point with my family when we
went to see Shakespeare in Love
If anyone wants further information, I now have an update, which is a
bit long winded, but will happily forward individually if required.
Yes, please send it to me. I visited the Museum two years ago and it was

I got this packet from Australia two weeks before Christmas and had to put it
away so I would be good and not open it before I was supposed to. My secret
