Find your definitions using published costume dictionaries, glossaries from
costume histories, regular dictionaries, and the like. Sometimes there will be
more than one possible definition; if so, please opt for the one you think is most
likely to be the best definition given the period context (in other words, for a
class about the 20th century, look for a 20th century definition). Because the
quality of costume terminology to be found on the internet varies wildly and is
often poor, please use the net as a source of definitions only after you have
already consulted print sources. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source.
I encourage you to consult more than one source for each definition, since often
the sources disagree. You may combine definitions you find into one of your
own if you like.
