****IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE JOINING THIS GROUP**** In order to join this group you MUST have a Yahoo! Profile with some basic information about yourself. The reason this is required is to cut down on people joining under false user names in order to spam the list. This list requires moderator approval to join, but don't worry... I won't leave you hanging for weeks on end. I check my email compulsively and automatically accept people who wish to join as soon as I recieve their application.

I WILL DENY YOU IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A YAHOO! PROFILE!!!

I have a zero tollerance with spammers. If someone still sneaks through and manages to spam the list, I will remove them from the group without any warning.

To clarify my definition of spamming: Anyone who sends off-topic, unsolcitied advertisements for websites, services, businesses, etc. that have absolutely nothing to do with costuming. Simple as that.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS GROUP is to fascilitate the study of historically accurite clothing in 16th Century Western Europe. We are not strictly limited to only Elizabethan clothing styles, as the Elizabethans themselves drew from a diverse pool of fashions throughout the reign of Elizabeth I.

If you recreate Elizabethan clothing, this is the place for discussion, study, conversation and critique by your peers (constructive critisism ONLY). Please join!
