Costume College Class Ideas

So the (first) deadline for class ideas for Costume College is coming up in a few weeks, and I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to teach. I have a couple of ideas: overview of women’s fashions in Renaissance Venice, or of the 1780-90s, or of the 1910s. Also, I’m thinking of either reoffering my Victorian bodice draping workshop, or instead doing one for cone-shaped bodices (workable for either Elizabethan or 1770s-80s anglaise/polonaise styles).

But it’s always so hard to figure out what I know that others might not know! Does anyone have any suggestions beyond what I’ve come up with?
