<DIV>Here's a link about their history. Also, i have an amazing article by Ruth Anderson (Hispanic Costume) that I found at the Bata (they have some nice examples). I can send it out to you if you want--please contact me off-list w/your address and I can get it out or you can find me at War Practice and i can give you it then. It's very thorough and talks about construction, materials, etc. </DIV>
