*sheepish grin* Hi, I'm the mod around here and I have shamefully neglected this community for numerous reasons but mostly because I lost interest. I'm going to go back through and edit tags. I'm also thinking of allowing images of extant gowns in the community because they are great for research and I love them. What does everyone think?

That's what I was thinking - they are great for costumers and designers. My original vision for this community was one to appreciate the art of not just the clothing but the photographs/drawings/paintings themselves but I think that, as this is a fashion history community, extant gowns should be allowed :)

Yes please to the old clothes!

If you want any suggestions on re-tagging, I spent 2 months organizing (and completing!) a total re-tag of the Corsetmakers archives. The new system has been running quite successfully for almost a year now.

Well, I only really need to retag the last year or so's posts so it shouldn't be too hard, although I may be adding new tags to some posts and just tidying things up a bit. Also sorting a new layout and making the tags easier to access :)

[rabid_bookwyrm]

That's not too bad. Should be a fun project, going back through the pictures.

Oh, it is! I need to get my external hard drive out so I can go on a picture downloading spree *g*

I'm for extant gowns as long as repros don't slip in too.

[dragonclouds]

That's one of my concerns really but then if the repros are so good that we can't tell the difference, they're not going to be confusing re: historical accuracy, I suppose.
