I'm looking for a catalogue/online source for some interesting clothing for fun and for stage. Ethnic, peasant blouse sort of clothing that was everywhere in the 70's. Where did it all go? Does anyone know?

Thanks.

Emily

Peasant uni-sex shirts are great at Deva Lifewear. Their clothes are VERY comfy and last for years and years.

Do a Google search for renaissance clothing. That will get you a large number of people who cater to the renaissance faire crowd.

These patterns are for old timey clothes...
one web site is the main one that makes them
http://www.folkwear.com/
the other site has scanned the covers of the pkg.'s

If you have an item you really love, but has fallen apart or is wearing thin, you could ask around for a seamstress who could cut a pattern from the garment and make you up some new ones.... it's what I do with my favourites.

Thanks everyone for all the great advice and sites. I knew I could count on mudcatters for help. I will have fun surfing.
Thanks again.
