Has everyone seen this site?

From Piecework, November/December 2002:

Les Petites Dames De Mode (The Little Ladies of Fashion) is a collection of more than fifty scale model mannequins, each 29 inches (73.7 cm) high and costumed in the intricate fashions of the Victorian and Edwardian eras that were created by John R. Burbidge (see "Redesigning the Past," PIECEWORK, January/February 2000). Their website, www.lespetitesdamesdemode.com, includes information on the merchandise related to the collection and schedules of lectures by Burbidge and exhibitions of the mannequins. The ladies are on display through November 2, 2002, at the Fairfield Historical Society, Fairfield, Connecticut.


OK, obvious that information is out of date, but the website does have pictures of the mannequins. They look pretty amazing. There is a book, as it appears that no exhibits are planned in the near future or are currently ongoing.
