COMMENTARY

Bath Museum of Costume

The Museum of Costume in Bath has revamped their website — better design, and some nicer photos of some of their collection.

I stumbled across “The Costume Drama Game” on their site, which is one of those “dress the mannequin in the appropriate historical clothing” Java games… It has some REALLY weird clothes for each period — the 1790’s figure is supposed to wear a robe a la francaise and really weird hat, the 1830’s figure ends up being “correctly” dressed in something that looks way more 1890’s to me, and I have NO IDEA what’s going on with the 1800 figure’s dress (looks 1830’s to me!). Anway, check it out. It’s odd.
