Greetings,
 
Thank you for allowing me to feature you and your historical Italian costume - I am honoured to be able to do so! 

Please note: the way I accept bookings and upload the features has changed: the booking form only temporarily ensures you a spot on the Showcase - the showcase features are now on a first come, first served basis. That is, the first of the booked costumers to send me their COMPLETED submission (ie, their write-up and pics) get featured first, and therefore someone who has just done this can leap-frog over another costumer who has not been as prompt with their submission.
 
For the Showcase please send me:

·	A short bio noting such things as how long you've been making historical costume; if you are a costumer in the SCA, Ren Fairs, or just for yourself, etc. This can be in the form of the introductory paragraph of your write-up.

·	The write-up for your costume/outfit. This will be a why/where/how of the creation of your costume. This can include information on what portrait/s inspired you, step-by-step description, what you were happy with and what you weren't, etc. You can send me as much or as little information as you want - it is totally up to you – however the more information you share with people the more you ‘teach’ and the more information people have to go by when it comes time for the Rose Awards. (Please send as either a plain text or MSWord attachment or in the body of an e-mail message).

·	Pictures - as many as you want, but a minimum of three, full-length: a. the front, b. the back, and c. a side-on shot. These are to be a minimum of 800x600 pixels please. I prefer jpgs attached to the e-mail, but a maximum of ten per e-mail please. You can send me large images up to a maximum of 500kb per image. If you have smaller copies you can send them along too, or if not I will make smaller copies from the larger ones you send. Cropping of extraneous background, etc, is always appreciated, but not expected nor required.

 (PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME IMAGES EMBEDDED IN A WORD DOCUMENT – THIS PERMANENTLY CHANGES THE IMAGES AND MAKES THEM UNUSABLE).


·	The last thing I need is to know if you have a web page/web log (blog), and if you would like me to link to it.

Please keep this note for reference, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns or questions.
 
With thanks and kind regards,
