These supplementary studies were specifically conducted (1968-1971) for the Restoration of Fortress Louisbourg project, in Cape Breton Nova Scotia for which I designed the reproduction clothing for the Civilian and Military animation programme. I established the workrooms, trained the staff and taught historic domestic reproduction techniques. Using specimen and fragments of costumes found at the dig site, I was able to teach the staff a great deal about the domestic details surrounding 18th century colonial life. We in fact wove the fabrics for these initial historic samples, based on the site findings.
