Oops. For some reason copying and pasting Brianna's address copied it
as an image and not text. Grumble.
Here is her contact info again.

-----------------
I've gotten a few messages from a SCA newcomer looking for information
on a particular 16th Century Italian dress. I seem to remember some
folks on this list doing dresses from that time period, although I
don't remember if they were doing Ital. Ren. or another region.

Please remember that she is not on this list, so copy her by email for
any info sent to this list or email her directly. Although copies of
information for the Florilegium are always of interest.

Thanks,
    Stefan
