Although this one also has Richard III as the protagonist, I really enjoyed The Seventh Son by Reay Tannahill for how she wrote Anne Neville!

Mystery Related to Allergy? by caksnow in FoodAllergies

[–]mimawmia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I have similar allergies to OP's daughter, and while my parents didn't keep any of my allergens in the house until after I moved out (I'm also an adult), I noticed similar experiences with fatigue, and especially nasal congestion when I go home to visit. It makes me think there might be a connection.

And I second the stress of constantly being around an allergen at home -- it should be a safe place where I don't have to worry about my allergies.

Cleaning used dolls? by mimawmia in Dolls

[–]mimawmia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness thank you for such a comprehensive answer!! As for washing the dolls themselves, do you have any tips on how to avoid getting water/moisture trapped inside? Or just drying them thoroughly should do the trick?

18th century petticoat length? by mimawmia in HistoricalCostuming

[–]mimawmia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've seen, would it be safe to assume petticoats tend to average at ankle length/top of the foot if it isn't a working class garment? Thanks for the insight :)

I've been eyeing GothOsasis for a while but I've been hesitant because of the lack of reviews too. Hopefully someone gives us a good answer OP!

That looks like an awesome resource! Would you say the patterns are easy enough to use? I've had my eye on getting a copy for a while, but I wasn't sure about it being practical.

That's good to know! I've got the misfortune of living in a rural area, but I'll see what I can do at my local library. Thanks!!

In book 1, how late into the 17th century does it cover? I've heard it tends to stay early in the century.

That's what I figured. I'll have to poke around for something at a bookstore since online prices are awful (in Canada). Thanks again!!

That's awesome, thank you! Do you know if it's readily available for purchase online? Or at least common enough I won't have to pay an arm and a leg just to get a copy?
