A short newsletter article on the handwoven seamless robe made for the 1953 Twentieth Century Fox film "The Robe." Los Angeles weaver Dorothea Hulse researched first-century wool and walnut-shell dyeing, then wove the garment using tubular and double weave with four shuttles for the neck and arm openings. The article also covers dye problems for color film, insurance, and duplicate robes, and mentions Hulse's costume weaving for "David and Bathsheba." The page also carries guild bulletin board notices and the newsletter masthead.
