from the Armour Archive- "I have a copy (which I have been promising to xerox for what seems a decade) of a French book inventorying and giving patterns for Joan of Arc's wardrobe. Master Vuong Manh, C.P., Storvik, Atlantia"

This guy never did come up with the actual book, so does anyone know where I can get my hands on it? Peder, can you help?

All joking aside, the museum wants to be as factual as possible in their reconstruction of her clothing, so this source is my best source of fact, not speculation or conjecture.

Jeanne d'Arc: ses costumes, son armure. The date I see is 1929.

C'est tout en francais.

I've seen a lot of descriptions of what she wore. Basically, she dressed as a fashionable young man. Quite scandelous. If that's not enough, I will try and dig through my collection of Jeanne d'Arc biographies for a description.

It is always amazing that these same people don't dig very much to find out what some of thier solutions really were.

Hey, at least they're trying - most people don't do that much, and we're not all history majors here...

I did get your email, that's how I found the book. Did you get my email response?

Also, if you do have some info on how women dealt with their monthly cycles, I'd be interested to hear it. I have some theories, but haven't come across any facts.

I'm dying to get my hands on that book because I want to know what Joan's arming coat was like!!!!!
