It was made by Barbara Matera Ltd. in New York (her workshop has made costumes for A Chorus Line and The Secret Garden). It's a good article. I like the information on beading. I've done some beading and enjoyed the results but, I've never tried beading on lace. Has anyone? Any hints -- suggestions -- warnings? The result is lovely. This spring I'm going to be working on a ballgown with a lace overdress and I'm tempted to try some beading on the lace.

I'm looking for something that would have been worn in the streets during recruitment for WWII. Would a shorter jacket-type uniform be appropriate, or only a longer one? Thanks in advance-- stacy bhff@musicb.mcgill.ca ---------------------------- End of Volume 33 -----------------------
