new costume site

Thrednedle Strete Clothiers - this might be good clarification for some of y'all who read my journal and wonder what the hell I'm talking about when I say "points", "aiglets", "partlet", or "farthingale" - just check out the glossary. There's also a lengthy explanation of why Janet Arnold is (was) The Man if you're an Elizabethan costumer!

Worthwhile site, if only for the downloadable zip files of Stubbe's "Anatomie of Abuses", a Puritan rant on the excesses of English fashion in the late 1500s. I love the public domain :)
