Religious Costume & Clothing Links at the Costumer's Manifesto view detail comment email this

A compilation of links to dozens of sites about traditional religious apparel. "In this list many religions are grouped together by clothing style, not necessarily by philosophical affiliation. So, for example Lutherans and Anglicans are grouped with Catholics (since they use similar vestments) while Byzantine Catholics are grouped with Eastern Orthodox for the same reason." Maintained by a costume designer and theater professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
