Combined issue (Vol. 37, Nos. 1 & 2, 1953) of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin. Stella Mary Pearce argues that the costume in Italian Renaissance paintings (Giotto, Mantegna, Carpaccio, Raphael, Lippi, Crivelli and others) follows contemporary fashion closely enough to date the works, even for religious and pseudo-classical figures. Junius Bird describes two Guatemalan wedding huipils from Quetzaltenango, covering backstrap-loom construction, creped weft stripes, wrapped-fiber and brocading techniques, a twill element, and Peruvian parallels. The issue ends with book notes on Marian Powys's Lace and Lace-Making, club notes for 1953, and a list of officers.
