Thanks so much to all who have replied so far, I very much appreciate
everyone's insights. The books suggested look fantastic; I haven't been

Hi all! I may be going to a masque ball with a London in 1790 setting in
a few months, and I'm wondering what sets masquerade clothes and

Thank you! The book looks scrumptious. :) Do you have it?
Hi all! I've searched the archives but haven't found what I'm looking
for. My group (focused on Norway, 1299-1319) is planning to make an
embroidered standard/banner, as historically accurate as possible in
design, techniques and materials. The details aren't clear yet, but the
project may involve

Oh, is it? I'm sorry, I didn't realize she'd seen the whole text; I must
have read some of them wrong then. I'll certainly take the reading of a

Hi, all! I have a question that's tangentially relevant to natural
dyeing of textiles in the period from 350-575 AD. I know there are many
consummate dyers on the list, so maybe somebody here will know!
