This was posted today on the H-Costume list - for those of you who aren't on the list - there was recently a discussion on Arnold's patterns and her "credentials" as a historic costumer. Rebecca of Twywn Because of some of the confusion over her writing, Janet Arnold asked me to post her bibliography here for those of you interested in finding some of the articles, etc. published in the past. Because it is so long, I'm posting it in two parts. This message includes books, published conference papers and contributions to exhbition catalogs. The following message will include articles in periodicals. And in answer to some of the questions about her background and sewing skills, she holds a certificate in arts and crafts, a national diploma of design in dress, a certificate of education, and art teacher's diploma. She worked for about ten years cutting period costumes and working in the wardrobes of several theater companies in England. She also has industrial and couture experience in cutting and sewing. She is not a conservator, nor is she a curator. List of Publications: Janet Arnold FSA BOOKS [Patterns of Fashion 1] (cut and construction of women's clothing, 1660-1860) --Wace 1964, Macmillan 1972.
