- Historic Costume Maillist:
- Contact: h-costume-request@andrew.cmu.edu
- Purpose: This list concentrates on recreating period elegance, from
- the Bronze age to the mid-20th Century. Its emphasis is on accurate
- historical reproduction of clothing, historical techniques for
- garment construction, and the application of those techniques in
- modern clothing design. Other topics appropriate for discussion
- include adapting historical clothing for the modern figure, clothing
- evolution, theatrical costumes, patterns, materials, books, and
- sources for supplies. Members of the SCA should note that this list
- discusses historic costume of all eras, not just the SCA period.
- General conversations about the SCA are not suitable for this list.
- Other topics not suitable for this list include halloween and
- children's dress-up costumes, and advertisements for vintage clothing
- (for sale or wanted).
