Greetings,
For those of you with an interest in the works of the late great British
costume historian, Janet Arnold, I offer the following news. I have today,
received a letter from Santina M. Levey, (the executor of Janet Arnold's
estate) updating me on the work that both she and Millie Jaffe' have been
conducting, to assemble one last final volume in the "Patterns of Fashion"
series.

Those of you, who have followed my previous posts, will remember that Ms.
Levey and Mrs. Jaffe' have been working with previously unpublished
research materials of Ms. Arnold's, relating to fair linen - coifs,
shirts, shifts, ruffs, collars, etc. which were left as part of the
estate.

Originally, they had hoped to be ready for a publication date of late 2003
or early 2004. Ms. Levey informs me that unfortunately due to "personal
reasons", there will be at least a one year delay until the new volume is
published.

She goes on to say the the new volume will be published by Macmillan as
part of the existing series of "Patterns of Fashion", but that we should
not expect to see it until late 2004 or early 2005.

Please free to forward to other interested parties or lists, as desired.

In service to Crown and Coronet, yours faithful and ever assured,
