Did you go to the Met???What did you think??/ I have found that the last few costume exhibits at the met were frustrating.. it was hard to see the garments, hard to see construction details.. They tend to do better when they exhibit in the basement space than when they do the costume exhibits upstairs, the Poiret show was so dark it was nearly impossible t see the clothes. ------ sarah in nyc www.sewnewyork.blogspot.com

(Admission is a suggested donation of $10, I always pay suggested donations but I don't think they'll give you the stink-eye if you pay less or even nothing) ------ ~sarah www.colorkitten.com
