I regularly buy it inthe largest size. It is in dice and ready to use in cookies, breads or as snack material ;-) I don't make it any more because the stuff I can buy is as good as I can make, and a lot less trouble! If you want to make it by yourself, look up a recipe on google or: take a nice hand of ginger, peel and slice into thin slices of about 1/4 inch. In a heavy sauce pan pour 2 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup of water and heat. Do not boil, you are not making candy you are making a hot syrup. When all of the sugar has melted into the scant amount of water, chuck in the slices of ginger. continue to barely simmer for several hours, until the ginger is translucent and soft. Take it off the heat and let sit over night. The next morning, take the slices of ginger out and coat them individually with sugar and set on a rack to dry. I put a piece of cheesecloth over all to keep flies and random cat hairs off. At this point, I suppose you could use a dehydrator, but a couple of days on a counter top work just fine for me. After they are dry, I put them into a jar full of granulated sugar so I get some ginger scented sugar to use in cooking. margali Genie wrote: > Where can you get this.

One of my daughter's friends wants me to teach a corset making class for agora days at the high school so I shall start with the custom shift link on the Elizabethan costuming page and then use the custom corset patterns for the corset. If all goes well I'll teach the class in February. If I'm going to have the underpinnings I should have the gown. The painting of Helena Snakenborg at www.tudor-portraits.com really intrigues me as it looks as if the sleeves and the partlet? are of the same fabric. Opinions please as is this one garment? How do I get the closed neck open bodice? AlterYears patterns show something similar, would this work? Is this a printed fabric or some type of surface embellishment? If this is all one underdress what do I wear next to my skin to keep the brocade fresh. Would a printed peachskin work as the fabric looks drapey enough to gather at the neck? Thought, opinions, help? I can alter a pattern to fit my shape but I need to have the pattern piece to start from. On Eric's pregnancy bit. I was morning sick for six months with all three of my kids and never really found anything that worked. I ate alot of applesauce and bananas for breakfast. If the prenatal vitamins and iron are causing the naseau try taking them before sleeping so you can be queasy in your sleep. And you might as well give up on having sleep now.

He asked his costumer wife if she had any ideas about how to remove the not-so-delightful shade from the skin. Since I'm elizabethan to the core, it has never occured to me to experiment with changing the color of leather--(I'd just buy it the right color to begin with!) so I'm a bit stymied here.

I'll be interested to hear what they say. Hmmm. I don't have a book at hand that shows this, but if I recall correctly, a quick peek through an ordinary microscope makes telling linen and cotton fibers apart really easy. Linen fibers have "joints" like a grass stem, because they're made from a string of cells in the plant. Cotton fibers don't, because each hair is a single cell, so they are smooth, like a garden hose.

There's also the phenomenon I call "crafty hands" -- someone who's picked up a number of hand skills over the years is likely to find it easier to pick up new ones. You've developed your hand coordination to the point that your hands "know what to do" when you tell them to do something new. This also goes along with a measure of confidence that you _will_ be able to master a new skill, because you've successfully mastered others. And that undoubtedly helps too. As far as I know, if I've inherited any "hand ability" it probably comes from two generations of piano players (my grandmother and my dad). Oddly enough, although I'm definitely left handed, I can do certain things with my right hand that I can't do with my left -- pick up very tiny beads, for instance, or drum my fingers in both directions (little finger to thumb and vice versa). -- _________________________________________________________ O Chris Laning | + Davis, California _________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Sep 2 00:40:17 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA08664 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 00:40:17 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g824g3WV003255; Sun, 1 Sep 2002 22:42:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g824g2j11205; Sun, 1 Sep 2002 22:42:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from web20201.mail.yahoo.com (web20201.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.226.56]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with SMTP id g824J2j06836 for ; Sun, 1 Sep 2002 22:19:02 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <20020902041901.3305.qmail@web20201.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [210.49.107.143] by web20201.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Mon, 02 Sep 2002 14:19:01 EST From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Bella?= Subject: Re: [h-cost] Play on Words To: h-costume@indra.com In-Reply-To: <00ce01c24fe1$505cf360$0400a8c0@centrl01.va.comcast.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2002 14:19:01 +1000 (EST) Status: RO sorry this is late - I took a break from email for the weekend.

So I was wondering if anyone out there might still have the digest(s) from yesterday, Aug. 28th, and if they would be willing to send them to me at ddoug@catrio.org Many thanks to any who can help and apologies to any who can't. -Debra -- .------------------------------------------------------------------. |Debra Douglass ddoug@catrio.org http://www.catrio.org| `------------------------------------------------------------------' _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Sep 2 07:26:18 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA09291 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 07:26:17 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g82BQ7WV015225; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 05:26:07 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g82BQ3j22416; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 05:26:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mhub.AXP.MDX.AC.UK (mhub.axp.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.6.11]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g82AvGj17465 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 04:57:17 -0600 (MDT) Received: from CONVERSION-DAEMON.mdx.ac.uk by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V6.1-1 #38636) id <01KM0W31XL3400E5K8@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume@indra.com; Mon, 02 Sep 2002 11:57:18 +0100 (BST) Received: from mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (mdx-bg-staff2.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.53.4]) by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V6.1-1 #38636) with ESMTP id <01KM0W2Z5ESK00DNB0@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume@indra.com; Mon, 02 Sep 2002 11:57:12 +0100 (BST) Received: from MDX-BG-STAFF2/SpoolDir by mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44); Mon, 02 Sep 2002 11:55:05 +0000 Received: from SpoolDir by MDX-BG-STAFF2 (Mercury 1.44); Mon, 02 Sep 2002 11:55:00 +0000 Received: from bg-lib-01157 (158.94.53.25) by mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44) with ESMTP; Mon, 02 Sep 2002 11:54:57 +0000 From: Teddy Subject: Re: [h-cost] painting of Helena Snakenborg In-reply-to: <20020901180007.17315.81535.Mailman@net.indra.com> To: h-costume@indra.com Message-id: <6439A985A73@mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk> Organization: Middlesex University MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12a) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Priority: normal X-Comment: Middlesex University has scanned this message for viruses.

I don't have a book at hand that shows this, but if I recall correctly, a quick peek through an ordinary microscope makes telling linen and cotton fibers apart really easy. Linen fibers have "joints" like a grass stem, because they're made from a string of cells in the plant. Cotton fibers don't, because each hair is a single cell, so they are smooth, like a garden hose. Confirmation or correction of my fading botanical memories appreciated... -------------------------------- I spent some time at Fabric Depot this weekend in their outdoor sale area. So many things to my inexpert eye looked like it could have been linen, or linen blend. I'm just wondering if there is any handheld lens that would allow one to look at fibers and see "joints" in linen, or scales for wool (though that's less of a problem). Ideas, anyone?

It's always a pet peeve of mine to research a decade and find something 10 years off either way. Most audience member wouldn't know the dif, but I do and it drives me nuts. Knowing something is correct for a specific year, nevermind a decade is fabulous, as well as fascinating to watch the trends change.

I did something like that, using a slat from a fruit crate I found at a local farmer's market. I had to search to find a crate of wood with a close grain and not too splintery or too thin, but there were piles of crates to choose from, behind the market stalls. The crate had originally held something like grapes or tomatoes, and the wood was about 1/4 inch thick. I don't know what kind of wood it was because it was from somewhere in South America.

Something that can be shaped by the warmth of your body, but still hold for the most part it's shape. The one lady here who has a busk in her 1840's corset made of yew wood, I think.

I've got a few ideas percolating in my brain about what to do with it, but thought I'd ask for suggestions. I do events set in the 1630s, 1745, 1812, and (one of these days) 1870. Was linen used for women's dresses in the late 1800s? How about the 1900s to 1920s? I've been looking for an excuse to make an Edwardian endsemble...

I wouldn't want a very soft wood -- I used basswood (aka linden wood) for a busk once, and it wound up being way too flexible. When it absorbed moisture, it would curl outward lengthwise, which gave it a very odd shape, like a 'c'. I could turn it the other way and it'd curl in the opposite direction eventually. Here are a couple of examples: http://dept.kent.edu/museum/costume/bonc/4subjectsearch/lingerie/lingerie18t h/lingerie18.html My woodworker hubby says this looks like either oak or ash, but probably oak, due to the color and grain pattern. http://www.civilization.ca/tresors/treasure/117eng.html http://www.austintmillerantiques.com/scrim_rm1pos8.htm Cheers, Mara At 10:46 PM 9/1/2002 -0500, you wrote: >I am making a quilted/corded corset for the early 1800's.

Susan and I look at it as an adventure to uncover our past fashions. We get a thrill of restoring the artwork to look as good as it did when it was originally printed. We all know the silhouette of a period but it is great to find details... did you look at the embellishment page and click on each sleeve. I love finding details like these. These were a treasure find for me. Gosh, I wish suit coats had this kind of detailing today. Manufacturers are in such a rush to make everything today. BTW, these manufacturers of coats and shoes were the largest suppliers in the world at the time. I was amazed by the different leathers used in the shoes. Susan is working on a ladies shoe catalog from 1922. I can't wait to see it. I bought it and had it sent to her. She has a passion for shoes. Her catalog tells you the styles, even down to the style of heels. When I was in college studying costume design, my professor sent me to our university rare book collection. I had to leave everything outside of the collection vault. I couldn't even take a piece of paper to write on to view the 19th Century fashion magazines. A person stood beside me to turn the pages. That was when I decided there had to be an easier way to be able to research past fashions. Yes, a light bulb glowed above my head. Susan and I are working on the 1923 band uniform website. I watched the Drum Corp International competition yesterday with a different view. I was looking at all the different details of the uniforms and was thrilled to know to official names of all the accessories. Sounds dumb to get excited over something so little... but I had learned something new and used it! Our goal is to present these original publications online for people to study so that they will know more than just what the silhouette looks like. We feel if we present this information in a forum where a multitude of people can study, maybe the quality of costume presentation in film, theater, television, historic sites, etc. will become more accurate. And the site does attract these types of visitors. And Angela, there are people like me, who go up to the actors at the end of a play to look at their costumes close-up. So please don't feel that all your hard work isn't appreciated.

Probably not; most hand magnifiers are 2x, 5x or 10x, and what I remember seeing is at about 100x. Furthermore, it appears I was wrong about linen fibers (though still right about cotton). Fibers in wood often are jointed, but not those of linen -- they are composed of a bundle of long thin single cells, tapered at the ends. I am guessing that you could still tell them from cotton under a microscope because they have very thick cell walls (up to 90% of the width of the fiber -- leaving just a small open channel in the middle of the cell) and I don't think cotton fibers do that. Makes me wish I had kept a few more botany textbooks, though.... -- _________________________________________________________ O Chris Laning | + Davis, California _________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Sep 2 22:01:18 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA19862 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 22:01:17 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g83233WV026108; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 20:03:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g83232j22581; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 20:03:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from rastaban.dandy.net (rastaban.dandy.net [209.128.224.29]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g831eLj16821 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 19:40:22 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dandy.net (pvil2030.dialup.dandy.net [209.128.237.30]) by rastaban.dandy.net (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g831eHqO026375 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 21:40:18 -0400 Message-ID: <3D7410DC.1DB89533@dandy.net> From: leigh tartaglio X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] Removing Chrome Dye from Leather References: <20020902015304.12521.qmail@web13806.mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2002 21:31:08 -0400 Status: RO Hi. It depends if your husband is really trying to be "period", because then the hide is really worthless (it sholud be brain-tanned or smoked or both). I have found that soaking it in water gets out some of the excess color, as well as soaking it in alcohol (the primary solvent for a lot of dyes used for leather). Some dye removers could work, provided the main ingredient weren't some sort of bleaching agent, which will probably drag any moisture out of the hide. If it does work, and even if you try the water or alcohol, make sure you re-hydrate the hide with some sort of lubricant, such as neatsfoot oil. The problem with chrome-dyed leather is that, inside, and wherever it gets cut, you will see the steely blue-gray caused by the process. You may want to overdye with a darker color, to hide the yellow. Make sure you do everything to it that will happen out in the field (getting wet, rubbing up against his coat, etc.) at home first, to see if the dye will come off first, so no surprises later. Worst case, contact a big leather place like Tandy for any product they may have. They may help, they might just want to sell you something...who knows?

All the edges are rounded. --part1_174.dd5d5db.2aa56d46_boundary-- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Sep 2 22:07:37 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA19931 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 22:07:37 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8329MWV026456; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 20:09:22 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8329Lj24164; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 20:09:21 -0600 (MDT) Received: from rastaban.dandy.net (rastaban.dandy.net [209.128.224.29]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g831p3j19611 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 19:51:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dandy.net (pvil2030.dialup.dandy.net [209.128.237.30]) by rastaban.dandy.net (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g831oxqO010132 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 21:51:00 -0400 Message-ID: <3D74135E.4DE1F5D4@dandy.net> From: leigh tartaglio X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] cross dressing soldiers References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2002 21:41:50 -0400 Status: RO > Bonnie also has recommended Polly Brooks' "Beyond the Myth: The Story of > Joan of Arc," and Regine Pernoud's "Joan of Arc: Her Story."

I'm not usually on-line over the weekend. Margo If I make a straight smock with a high neck and a front slit how will it get pulled open. It seems that if I just count on the mountains *L* to hold the front open then it wouldn't be very comfortable to wear. What kind of embroidery would you think this is? Definitely not blackwork. And what kind of a grid would it be on? I don't do well with just random placement of motifs for embroidery or beading but I can handle diagonal diamonds or squares or half offset diamonds or whatever. I did find some nice linen today but the shopkeeper said she had just ordered more weights and colors so I may wait to see what comes in and then I don't have to risk trying to dye and undye the piece she has on hand. She did have a heavier weight piece of linen and silk (45/55) which I would consider dressweight. Is combining linen and silk fibers period? Time to get ready for work. Thanks.

I haven't seen "Viking Settlers," but my vague recollection is that it's a shorter, more popularized version of the full study report ("Buried Norsemen at Herjolfsnes") from the Greenland expedition. I bet Heather can tell us more. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Tue Sep 3 00:59:44 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA20880 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 00:59:43 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8351UWV004506; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 23:01:30 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8351Uj07614; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 23:01:30 -0600 (MDT) Received: from hermes.directcon.net (hermes.directcon.net [206.170.184.15]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g834hfj03470 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 22:43:41 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dnyeaqvf (r9p19.directcon.net [206.170.184.118]) by hermes.directcon.net (8.12.3/8.12.3) with SMTP id g834h8Es008785; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 21:43:09 -0700 Message-Id: <3.0.6.32.20020902214811.0145e690@pop.directcon.net> X-Sender: margospatterns@pop.directcon.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.6 (32) To: h-costume@indra.com, h-costume@net.indra.com From: Margo Anderson Subject: Re: [h-cost] painting of Helena Snakenborg In-Reply-To: <20020903020535.45208.qmail@web12001.mail.yahoo.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" X-MailScanner: Found to be clean Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2002 21:48:11 -0700 Status: RO At 07:05 PM 09/02/2002 -0700, Cascio Michael wrote: > Margo If I make a straight smock with a high >neck and a front slit how will it get pulled open.

I haven't been able to lay hands on "Viking settlers...", but I managed to get "Buried Norsemen..." by international interlibrary loan. 115 Norlund, Pöul. “Buried Norsemen at Herjolfsnes”. In Meddelelser om Grønland. 67. Copenhagen: C.A. Reitzel, 1924. 1-270, of which the costume section is [87]-192. 137-53 B&W photographs, diagrams and line drawings of garments, textile techniques and artworks. The authoritative publication on the garments found during excavation of the Herjolfsnes cemetery in Greenland, where 70 items of clothing were found from the 14th and early 15th centuries. Each article is described, gathered in classes with other similar items in categories such as “Close- bodied Slip-over Dresses, having Centre Gores”. The items include a range of kirtles and gowns, hoods, caps, hose and accessories. Some of the garments are sized for children. The photographs and diagrams showing the arrangement of pieces have become very widely known in recreationist circles, and have had considerable impact on the construction of clothing. Note, however, the comments of Nockert about likely inaccuracies in some of the diagrams, where straight seams are drawn as though they are curved to give a more waisted shape to the fitted garments. Cheers, Jennifer PS: Sorry for flitting in and out without proper introduction. I'm a librarian from New Zealand, into early music and old clothes. My particular thing for the last few years has been English clothing of the mid-14th century.

Oh, *that one*.... I thought she was one of the "unknown girl" paintings. How long has she been identified as Helena Snakenborg? Anyhow, lovely shirt (or partlet and matching sleeves - personally I think shirt would be easier/less fuss to don than fiddling with tucking in a partlet and lacing in sleeves, but it's anyones guess as to which it actually is) The embroidery of those flowers could take an *age* though.

I was just wondering, if you want to get rid of some (dyed) I would be happy to buy it off you, because I'd like to make some historical-looking mundane clothing, a cloak and bits like that and wouldn't mind a tad of polyester in that.

Well, I suspect it's nylon rather than polyester (the cut edges are 'fuzzy' like the fuzzy-nylon thread sold for overlockers) and it's 50 percent that and 50 percent natural fibre (cotton or linen, hard to tell, but definately natural fibre ase it took the dye) > was just wondering, if you want to get rid of some (dyed) I would > be happy to buy it off you, because I'd like to make some > historical-looking mundane clothing, a cloak and bits like that and > wouldn't mind a tad of polyester in that.

Yuck, I HATE polyester, makes > me feel icky and stinky and clingy) Well, I have a 5 metre uncut length of it that I could dye whatever colour you want , plus the two half-circles I cut to make the body of the houpellande (plus wheeel pieces to finish them), either of which could be used for a half-circle cloak, though they'd need cutting down a bit as they're wider than the width of the fabric.. wou would be too long for you at that size.

When I visited London 3 years ago, she was still an "unknown girl." I remember seeing the portrait at the Tate Gallery and being thrilled to see her up close! Years ago, someone that I know actually did re-create the gown, smock and partlet, embroidery and all. If I recall correctly, it took her the better part of a year to embroider all of the flowers. She used perl cotton and made them about 2" long. Sorry, there are no photos of it. kate __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I am going to picture document what I am doing and will put it up in a section on my site. I won't get to actually see this on a person.

Except when trying to see if something is a blend of some sort. I purchased what is supposed to be 100% Linen from Joanne's about a week ago. So I thought hmmmm... this would be nice in the corset I am doing, but before I do this maybe I should be sure, since this is being done for re-enactment, it would be nice to be certain. I did a burn test on a 1 inch square piece. It burned slowly, kept smoldering after the flame was removed, smelled like burnt paper, made a fine, feathery sort of ash, that was black as midnight. The small hand out that I have on burn tests said the ash from linen would be light grey. Cotton is a light grey. I have washed the fabric, and it seems to be linen. I thought maybe it was Rayon after the burn test color, but when it washed it did not do that shrinky dink thing that any other time I have washed rayon happens. Has anyone else burned linen and gotten a dark ash? -- Linda Thompson Visit www.seams-to-be.com where Attitude is Everything _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Tue Sep 3 22:54:04 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA20350 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:54:04 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g842thtj001092; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 20:55:43 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g842tf703246; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 20:55:41 -0600 (MDT) Received: from web40202.mail.yahoo.com (web40202.mail.yahoo.com [66.218.78.63]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with SMTP id g842q2702188 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 20:52:03 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <20020904025157.80565.qmail@web40202.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [151.197.30.35] by web40202.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Tue, 03 Sep 2002 19:51:57 PDT From: Tasha McGann To: h-costume@indra.com In-Reply-To: <20020904011042.27503.95469.Mailman@net.indra.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: [h-cost] re: Buried Norsemen Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 19:51:57 -0700 (PDT) Status: RO Robin wrote: > (Not that the translation of "Buried Norseman" was a > work of art :-P ) I just borrowed a partial photocopy from a friend today, and it starts on page 87 or so, "Chapter 6: The Costumes" (in the edition I have, which I can't cite, because that part isn't included in what I have).

Nordisk Kultur XV:B, Stockholm. It's primarily on Iron Age clothing and not in English. I think I've seen some other items by him on clothing, but they aren't coming up in my catalogs, so unless my memory has invented them they must be articles in larger collections.

It does. I know someone who did a quick-and-sloppy version (large satin stitch with cotton floss, as I recall) and it still took her several months. Note, though, that you only have to embroider the areas that are going to be _seen_, so it's not as bad as it might be. -- _________________________________________________________ O Chris Laning | + Davis, California _________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 4 00:40:56 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA22322 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 00:40:55 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g844fgtj007185; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:41:42 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g844ff708463; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:41:41 -0600 (MDT) Received: from maynard.mail.mindspring.net (maynard.mail.mindspring.net [207.69.200.243]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g844cD707327 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:38:14 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pool-63.53.186.209.snfr.grid.net ([63.53.186.209]) by maynard.mail.mindspring.net with esmtp (Exim 3.33 #1) id 17mRve-00050l-00; Wed, 04 Sep 2002 00:38:10 -0400 Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: claning@pop.igc.org Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <3D755B4D.4050808@comcast.net> References: <3D755B4D.4050808@comcast.net> To: h-costume@indra.com, h-costume@net.indra.com From: Chris Laning Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Subject: [h-cost] Re: Linen burn test question...

Hm. Have you tried the burn test again since you washed it? You could have gotten a color change from some sizing or finish on the fabric. I don't know any really easy or quick way to reliably tell linen from cotton (or ramie or hemp). I usually rely on reading the end of the bolt for fiber content, which of course doesn't help if you're buying flat folds or remnants. I've also seen and felt enough 100% linen that I tend to rely on its "feel" if I don't have written information -- linen feels (as best I can describe it) crisper and cooler to the hand than cotton. This, of course, doesn't always help if the fabric has a finish on it, or if it's a blend. But cotton often feels warmer when you touch it than linen does. Another thing that may help is something I learned from a piece of fabric I'm still not quite sure of (it was drapes from a thrift store, so no labels). It's a lovely natural-linen-like color, but I showed it to a friend, who promptly pulled a thread from the edge, untwisted it, and showed me it was made from _short_ fibers a couple of inches long or less. This suggests it's either cotton or poor-quality linen, since (she said) good linen ought to have fibers that are at least four to six inches if not longer. From a practical point of view, when you look at the information on the bolt, the good stuff will often say "100% FLAX linen." The term "linen" as used in fabric stores is now very often used to describe what used to be called "linen-look" fabrics. But if they say FLAX, I think they mean it. (However if "100% linen" is the only fiber described or mentioned anywhere, it's probably linen.) And of course as Teddy can now tell us, none of these methods is perfect.... -- _________________________________________________________ O Chris Laning | + Davis, California _________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 4 00:44:19 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA22397 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 00:44:18 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g844k2tj007447; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:46:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g844k1709749; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:46:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from maynard.mail.mindspring.net (maynard.mail.mindspring.net [207.69.200.243]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g844cF707341 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:38:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pool-63.53.186.209.snfr.grid.net ([63.53.186.209]) by maynard.mail.mindspring.net with esmtp (Exim 3.33 #1) id 17mRve-00050l-00; Wed, 04 Sep 2002 00:38:10 -0400 Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: claning@pop.igc.org Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <3D755B4D.4050808@comcast.net> References: <3D755B4D.4050808@comcast.net> To: h-costume@indra.com, h-costume@net.indra.com From: Chris Laning Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Subject: [h-cost] Re: Linen burn test question...

And of course as Teddy can now tell us, none of these methods is perfect.... -- _________________________________________________________ O Chris Laning | + Davis, California _________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 4 00:48:02 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA22470 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 00:48:02 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g844ngtj007653; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:49:42 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g844nf710736; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:49:41 -0600 (MDT) Received: from shell.nightowl.net (IDENT:root@shell.nightowl.net [207.124.43.8]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g844iD709187 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 22:44:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (robin@localhost) by shell.nightowl.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA09919 for ; Tue, 3 Sep 2002 23:47:12 -0500 From: Robin Netherton To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] re: Buried Norsemen In-Reply-To: <20020904025157.80565.qmail@web40202.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=X-UNKNOWN Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from QUOTED-PRINTABLE to 8bit by net.indra.com id g844iD709187 Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2002 23:47:12 -0500 (CDT) Status: RO On Tue, 3 Sep 2002, Tasha McGann wrote: > I just borrowed a partial photocopy from a friend today, and it starts > on page 87 or so, "Chapter 6: The Costumes" (in the edition I have, > which I can't cite, because that part isn't included in what I have).

As Charlene noted, this is just one volume in what's essentially a journal (Meddelelser om Grønland, or "Monographs on Greenland") in bound-book format. The series has been running since 1879. Other volumes cover other topics on Greenland, everything from geology to ecology to modern social issues. You can see a full index of the first hundred years of volumes in .pdf format by going to http://www.dpc.dk/Publications/MoG.html and taking the link at the bottom. For more recent volumes, use the links to the left of the page. I've seen that photocopied section of volume 67, chapter 6 passing around a lot of hands in SCA and reenactor circles. It's a shame that people only look at the costume chapter! The rest of the book contains useful nuggets that help put this material in perspective for the serious researcher. For instance, there are analyses of the various fibers found on the bodies, as well as some information on diet, stature, etc. and a large medical section that tells you quite a bit about the bodies on which the clothing is found. And if you want information on that sealskin G-string (menstrual pad? incontinence pad?) you'll find it in the medical section, not in the costumes. Once I got deeply into this material, I found a lot of context, and in some cases inconsistencies with the rather misleadingly tidy writeup of the costumes that appears in Chapter 6. There are tables providing more detail into the difficult issue of male/female sexing of the bodies, for instance. I also got a better appreciation for the conditions under which the dig was carried out -- at breakneck speed in a short digging season while the graves were literally falling into the water. The chapters you are missing cover these topics: I. Herjolfsnes, its History in Ancient and Modern Times II. The Expedition to Herjolfsnes in 1921. Voyage, Excavations and Conservation III. The Buildings at Herjolfsnes IV. Burials and Burial Customs V. The Coffins Chapter VI, on the costumes, is quite large and divided into sections on general remarks, body-clothing, hoods, caps, hose, and accessories. Then there's more: VII. The Tombstones VIII. The Wooden Crosses IX. Smaller Finds X. Did a Deterioration of the Climate occur in Greenland in the Late Middle Ages? XI. Conclusion. The Decay of the Norse Colonies in the Light of the Find from Herjolfsnes Then there's a diagram of the positions of the finds, and a list of the finds, a list of abbreviations, and acknowledgements. That concludes Norlund's part of the volume. After that is a short section on the interpretation of the runic inscriptions, pages 271-290 (I think -- I didn't copy that bit). And then the huge "Anthropologia Medico-Historica Groenlandiae Antiquae" -- the medical section, which runs from pages 291-547. I didn't Xerox all of this; I only have the introduction and conclusion, plus the bits that cover microscopic analysis, heights, ages, physical defects, teeth and nutrition, coffin dimensions (useful when trying to determine body size), and portions of the detailed descriptions on just a couple of the skeletons. Sometimes I wish I had done the whole thing, despite its length! But it *is* written in 1920s medical jargon awkwardly translated from the Danish. This is not easy reading for most people. (Heather does have the whole book, and I'm not sure whom she had to kill to get it.) People who have heard my lecture on the Greenland finds know that I harp a lot on the fact that the costume information isn't nearly as clear-cut as it's often presented, particularly in secondary sources quoting Norlund's work. The garments were in pieces and/or badly deteriorated. In some cases, parts of a single garment were found in multiple graves, or part of multiple garments were found in a single grave. In many cases we can't be sure of the sex of the wearer, and often it's clear that the wearer wasn't the person in the same grave as the clothing. (The gowns were used as shrouds, wrapping the corpses, so evidently they used any available old garment to shroud some of the bodies.) Some of the reconstructions were problematic. My friend Shelly Nordtorp-Madson, who has worked directly with the garments, tells me that it has since been determined that Norlund reassembled some of the garments wrong -- though it's impossible now to take them apart because they were glued into place with the 1920s restorations. And I know from my own work that Norlund's own writeups and measurements don't always match his diagrams, and those don't necessarily produce what we see in the photos of the reconstructed garments. People in my audiences who are used to seeing that tidy diagram of the 12-gore dress are often surprised to find out just how untidy the evidence actually is. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 4 03:50:00 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id DAA02785 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 03:49:59 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g847phtj014037; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 01:51:43 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g847pf726675; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 01:51:41 -0600 (MDT) Received: from web40009.mail.yahoo.com (web40009.mail.yahoo.com [66.218.78.27]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with SMTP id g847hf724968 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 01:43:41 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <20020904074336.39812.qmail@web40009.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [62.254.246.61] by web40009.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Wed, 04 Sep 2002 08:43:36 BST From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Rachel?= Subject: RE: [h-cost] Blackwork Costuming To: h-costume@indra.com In-Reply-To: <000d01c2538c$61924d20$6501a8c0@Home> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2002 08:43:36 +0100 (BST) Status: RO I'd rather suspect that it is a design based on a mixture of historical patterns.

The fabric I was actually dying when I threw the offcut of non-linen in to test it came out *beautifully.* It was a length of lovely figured velvet that Danielle brought over for me in January (from the Orange Bag shop in Toronto, right Danielle?). It's beautiful stuff, remeniscent of the patterned velvets seen in Tudor-bethan portraits with the pattern picked out in longish pile velvet and the background in unpiled plain-weave (probably the reason several pieces of it in various colours were in Danielle's stash in the first place, right Danielle?) Anyhow, the pice she brought me was a sort of fawn colour... very nice but not as *me* as it could be, so I decided to dye it. I toyed with the idea of orange - which would have taken well over the fawn colour, but decided to risk going for a dark green instead. One box of Olive Green and one box of Dark Green went into the washer with it and it came out the most *glorious* deep, even, dark, rich foresty green... and the pile has remained as soft as iit was before washing/dying. Happy, happy, happy. I think I know what my first garments from Margo's new Mens Elizabethan Patterns will be made form when the pattern is ready for release...

Hard woods like oak or ash would be better because they'd be flexible but wouldn't be as likely to break.

All the edges are rounded. Hm, I'm wondering whether the wood could have been 'steamed' into shape from being exposed to perspiration and pressure? A slower version of the method I've seen my hubby and other boatbuilders use to steam wood into shape for planks, etc....

The earlier chapters cover the details of the expedition itself, the layout of the site, the nature and arrangement of the coffins. There are also chapters (I forget whether they come before or after the clothing section) on non-clothing finds, on associated inscriptional material, and whatnot. A separate section following all this covers the human remains. If you're curious enough to want a full table of contents, I can do it later.

Dianne ----- Original Message ----- From: "CommunityZero" To: Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 5:46 PM Subject: CommunityZero: Important Changes to Core Membership COMMUNITYZERO: IMPORTANT CHANGES TO CORE MEMBERSHIP Dear CommunityZero Core Member, This month marks the three-year anniversary of the launch of the free CommunityZero Core service. Over this period, CommunityZero has attracted more than one and a half million registered users. We, at Ramius Corporation, greatly appreciate the support that our online community software has received. With the recent upgrade of all our CommunityZero Core users to the enterprise-level version 2.0 of our software, growth in registered users and pageview traffic has continued to accelerate. Feedback regarding this version's broadly expanded functionality set and its dramatically improved performance has been very positive. Sales of our Advantage and Server solutions have also flourished. While wonderful, this growth must be supported with significant ongoing and increasing commitments of financial and other resources. To ensure that the CommunityZero Core service is continually evolving, and always operated at a world-class level, we have decided to follow the recent upgrade to CommunityZero 2.0 with the introduction of modest membership fees. Many users have recognized the substantial costs of developing and delivering such a service. These users have clearly indicated their willingness to pay a reasonable fee to access a service that they find valuable. Fee revenues will establish the Core service as a self- sustained line of business within Ramius Corporation, directly supported by its users. Effective October 1st, restrictions will be implemented that will result in limited access to content by those members who have not purchased memberships. We have sought to structure a paid membership option that delivers members tremendous value at an extremely affordable price. Starting later this month, for a limited time, members will be offered Platinum Membership at a price of USD$29.95 PER YEAR. Such membership will convey the holder the ability to join and/or start an UNLIMITED number of communities, and utilize an UNLIMITED number of pageviews when using CommunityZero Core. In other words, for less than USD$2.50 per month, Platinum Members will have full and unrestricted access to the service. This is an introductory, limited time offer. And, as has always been the case, our members will not be subject to any advertising from third-parties while using CommunityZero. Users who do not purchase Platinum Memberships will remain members of the communities that they have joined. As members of the communities, they will continue to receive broadcast emails from the community administrators, and they will also receive periodic updates summarizing community activity if they have subscribed to do so. These members will be able to login to CommunityZero and edit their account information or deactivate their accounts at any time. As well, they will be able to enter communities they are a part of, and view the What's New and summary pages of each function. However, they will not be able to view content in detail unless they purchase a Platinum Membership to CommunityZero. Later this month, you will be able to purchase Platinum Membership for yourself or others, by simply logging in and proceeding to the My Communities area of our website. There, you will find the appropriate links to purchase your Platinum Membership. Please note that our online transaction processing capabilities are not yet available on the website. This email is being distributed in advance of our official announcement of this change, to provide you the necessary time to prepare accordingly. For community founders interested in continuing to offer access to their communities to users, without requiring their community users to pay for CommunityZero membership, we offer other options. For more information, please follow the link below. http://www.ramius.net/details.cfm In anticipation of some of the questions that our users may have, we have posted several informational pages on our website. Please visit the following link to find answers to what we anticipate will be some frequently asked questions. http://www.ramius.net/faq.cfm Thank you again for using CommunityZero.

The prohibition is generally extended to include cross-breeding animals of different species: cross breeding Jacob and karakul sheep would be ok (depending on the particular rabbi's interpretation), but a mule (a horse crossed with an ass) is not ok. The premise is that God created the species: sheep, flax, horses, donkeys, etc., and only God can create totally new things - like a cross between a plant and an animal. Man is forbidden to play around with genetics or even to produce goods that give the impression that man can play around with genetics (such as a fabric of linen and wool would appear). You're right - God didn't have to give a reason, so generations of scholars have attempted to divine God's reasons for thousands of years - there are tons of Talmudic discourses on shatnes, if you care to look. Hope this helps.

I'll pass this on to Danielle, in case she hasn't seen it yet (last I heard she was behind on her listmail).

I've heard that interpretation myself, but it doesn't seem consistent with the actual practice. Based on the information I saw on the websites I posted, other plant/animal fiber mixes are not prohibited. Hemp linen and cotton and silk are all OK to mix with each other and with wool. The ban apparently is strictly on sheep wool plus flax. That's what's in written law, but it still surprised me because generally -- as you say -- rules like this tend to be extended to avoid even the *appearance* of an inappropriate mixing. For instance, the entire meat/dairy separation in kosher law stems from a single Torah prohibition about not boiling a kid in its mother's milk. I had expected that the fiber prohibitions would have been extended likewise, but apparently they have not. Or else the shatnes organization (whose website I posted) is not representative of common practice, though I don't know any other groups practicing to this extent. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 4 22:25:18 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA19859 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 22:25:17 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g852Pgtj025491; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 20:25:42 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g852Pgm19933; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 20:25:42 -0600 (MDT) Received: from rastaban.dandy.net (rastaban.dandy.net [209.128.224.29]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g852Hsm17519 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 20:17:55 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dandy.net (phil1079.dialup.dandy.net [66.28.136.79]) by rastaban.dandy.net (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g852Hn17023408 for ; Wed, 4 Sep 2002 22:17:50 -0400 Message-ID: <3D76BCA1.61D17248@dandy.net> From: leigh tartaglio X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: religious mixing of fibers References: <002101c25473$30c19380$56eca4d8@ashley> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Wed, 04 Sep 2002 22:08:33 -0400 Status: RO Hi. An excellent explanation of the subject. I was talking to someone else, and they mentioned the very same thing. They said to look in the section of Leviticus or Deuteronomy where the proscription lies, and note the other proscriptions near it, which have similar overtones of mixing things which are different. Perhaps this is why the Coptic Christians intentionally mixed wool and linen, to set them apart as the "new" Chosen People. Thanks for all of the interesting discussion on this subject...

Ever tried it? I use it. Very fast response from support, unlike Yahoo who don't respond at all. Just been doing some major upgrades, so there've been a few hiccups, but those should be over now. WebTV users and Hotmail apparently have problems at times. There's an on-going bug with the calendar and repeated events that don't. Personally I find it very fast and very friendly.

They have upgraded tremendously. They have archives. Files sections. Picture sections. Lots of other services. Anyway, it doesn't matter, since I can't see a point in joining, is too expensive to send fabric over the atlantic. What a shame.

Can anyone give specific numbers on the volume for the swap & sell group? I know that it can be good to separate discussion and commercial aspects of a group, but if the "commercial" volume is extremely small, might it be a more efficient compromise to go back to having people announce available items on the main list -- as long as we work really really hard to keep the subsequent responses to private e-mail?

There's only been a handful of messages since the group started (around the turn of this year) -- maybe less than a dozen in all that time. Perhaps announcements on the main list would work well enough. I think when Danielle started the side list, it was in expectation that we'd have too many sale offers to politely handle on the list, and that perhaps people were refraining from posting such things to avoid inappropriate volume of sales posts. Before that, though, I periodically offered extra fabric on the list, and I've seen other people offer patterns. I don't mind that myself, but perhaps other people do. I think a lot depends on not abusing the audience. I think one reason the volume was so low is that CZ isn't really an email list; it's a web page, and messages appear there. We get notifications when someone posts, but we have to go to the page to read, and it can be difficult to actually find your way to the messages. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Thu Sep 5 21:04:43 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA15171 for ; Thu, 5 Sep 2002 21:04:43 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g86156tj014483; Thu, 5 Sep 2002 19:05:06 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g86153S13057; Thu, 5 Sep 2002 19:05:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from shell.nightowl.net (IDENT:root@shell.nightowl.net [207.124.43.8]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g85D2tm12246 for ; Thu, 5 Sep 2002 07:02:55 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (robin@localhost) by shell.nightowl.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA19750; Thu, 5 Sep 2002 08:05:19 -0500 From: Robin Netherton To: DISTAFF list: ; Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: [h-cost] Urgent CFP: Dress & Textiles sessions, Kalamazoo Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2002 08:05:19 -0500 (CDT) Status: RO (This message is going to the people who signed up for the DISTAFF list at the costume and textiles sessions at the International Medieval Congresses at Kalamazoo or Leeds.

Feel free to pass this on to other interested scholars or suitable lists: Due to the unexpected withdrawal of a speaker, we have found ourselves with one extra opening in the Dress & Textiles sessions for the 2003 Kalamazoo Congress. If you were considering proposing a paper for DISTAFF, now is the time to do it. We can use one more paper that will fit one of these session topics: -- I. Martial Clothing and Fashion. We'd be interested on papers about (for example) clothing worn for fighting, the relationship between armor and clothing styles, the use of heraldry in battle dress, the effect of wartime on fashion, documentary/literary descriptions of martial clothing, or similar topics. -- II. Dress and Textiles for Special Occasions. Some examples might be clothing or textile use for weddings, knightings, coronations, etc. We welcome papers from any discipline, including literature, art history, political history, etc. The 2003 Congress is scheduled for 8-11 May. You can view the Call for Papers at . If you're on the conference mailing list, you should have received your hardcopy version by postal mail by now. Our sessions appear in the "Sponsored Sessions" section, under DISTAFF. The deadline for paper proposals is, as usual, 15 September.

The people I bought a string of (Chinese) jet beads from say that the vein of jet at Whitby has been pretty much worked out, so little if any new stuff is available. I seem to recall reading an article to the same effect. In that case, your best hope might be to find something on the antique market, at antique-market prices unfortunately. Chinese jet isn't as good -- it's less hard and less shiny -- but it may be at least a little easier to find. I paid about $20 US for a string of 50 beads about 8mm in size a couple of years ago.I believe there is (or was) also jet in Spain -- souvenir rosaries at Compostela used to be made from it. Other than that, I know that jet was very commonly counterfeited in the Victorian era by black opaque glass. I would expect that black onyx (which is usually dyed) would also be okay as a substitute. I'd be happy to be corrected on this by anyone who knows more than I do :) On Fri, 6 Sep 2002 17:15:03 +0100 Melanie Wilson wrote: > Anybody know of an online source for Crosses of > Whitby jet please ? ____________________________________________________________ 0 Chris Laning | + Davis, California ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Fri Sep 6 13:27:23 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA12474 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:27:22 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g86HR2tj001213; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 11:27:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g86HR0S13733; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 11:27:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from rhenium.btinternet.com (rhenium.btinternet.com [194.73.73.93]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g86HQeS13543 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 11:26:41 -0600 (MDT) Received: from host62-6-77-61.in-addr.btopenworld.com ([62.6.77.61] helo=dan) by rhenium.btinternet.com with smtp (Exim 3.22 #8) id 17nMsQ-0000SN-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Fri, 06 Sep 2002 18:26:38 +0100 Message-ID: <002301c255ca$fa2b6d60$3d4d063e@dan> From: "Stevie Gamble" To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 Subject: [h-cost] And you thought Renfaires were bad...

Doing a quick Google search, I've learnt a lot about Whitby Jet, so thanks. Antique dealers are expensive: it's a cross, but $300? http://www.francascollection.com/Templates/frmTem plateS.asp?CatalogID=595 and one on a chain for $450 http://www.hhantiques.co.uk/jetn.htm This guy's a bit more reasonable: http://mysite.freeserve.com/jetjewellery/ makes his own stuff, and the cross is more the £15 mark. Doesn't take credit cards, though. Looks like a trip to Whitby could be rewarding, if you're close enough? _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Fri Sep 6 15:21:57 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA14261 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 15:21:57 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g86JMAtj010505; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:22:11 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g86JM0S21149; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:22:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from gadolinium.btinternet.com (gadolinium.btinternet.com [194.73.73.111]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g86JLIS20697 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:21:18 -0600 (MDT) Received: from host213-122-175-176.in-addr.btopenworld.com ([213.122.175.176] helo=dan) by gadolinium.btinternet.com with smtp (Exim 3.22 #8) id 17nOfM-00065j-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Fri, 06 Sep 2002 20:21:16 +0100 Message-ID: <004b01c255da$fd89e760$3d4d063e@dan> From: "Stevie Gamble" To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 Subject: [h-cost] "1870's Post Civil War Purple Dress" on E-bay Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2002 20:24:12 +0100 Status: RO Hi everyone, People with an interest in this can find the dress at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2136421153 best wishes Stevie _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Fri Sep 6 15:56:03 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA14812 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 15:56:02 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g86Ju4tj013352; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:56:04 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g86Ju1S10864; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:56:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from carbon (carbon.btinternet.com [194.73.73.92]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g86JsDS09922 for ; Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:54:14 -0600 (MDT) Received: from host213-122-175-176.in-addr.btopenworld.com ([213.122.175.176] helo=dan) by carbon with smtp (Exim 3.22 #8) id 17nPBD-0006YB-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Fri, 06 Sep 2002 20:54:12 +0100 Message-ID: <006701c255df$96ffa700$3d4d063e@dan> From: "Stevie Gamble" To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 Subject: [h-cost] (Whitby) Jet on E-bay Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2002 20:57:07 +0100 Status: RO Hi, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2136537256 has a "Victorian Black Embossed Cape w Jet~Lace"; the cape is shattered badly but the vendor suggests that it may be worth buying "for it's silk bow and jet since these are in excellent condition."

I've also got some 100% linen and some linen/rayon in with some dye remover so I'll see if this works as well as you all say it does. How period is the raw silk at JoAnns. They just marked some pieces down to 2.88 so I got a couple of dress lengths. The raspberry pink is way to bright but I figure if the dye remover calms it down I can overdye to something in the red family. Is blue a period color for the Helena Snakenborg portrait I'm using for inspiration? Back to the car pool. Cassandra __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Use the search function. Using a '-' ,in front of the words you want skipped in the search, is useful. Searching for some specific is also useful.

The problem arises when the dealers don't distinguish between 'jet' (carved stone), and 'jet glass' (mass produced black glass beads). I never believe beaded items have actual jet sewn on them, especially when I can find the mold flash some larger glass beads have. Real jet beads are usually bigger than the little glass beads usually used for sewing onto Victorian, etc., garments.

In other words, if you searched for "serger -thread" it would read to the computer as "return all records containing 'serger' but throw out those that contain 'thread' in the title". My favorite way to do this is to use one of the other nifty little search features, the OR syntax. This works by making a list of words that *might* be in the search. So if you typed in "fabric (vintage,antique)" it would return all entries with both "fabic" and "antique" or "fabric" and "vintage" in it. How *I* like to use the syntax is like this: "fabric -(quilt,fq,polyester,neon,ribbed,knit)" which is only a partial list of the fabrics I'm *not* looking for. :) Please note that you have to leave out the spaces in the OR syntax, or it won't work. More advanced search stuff can be found here: http://pages.ebay.com/help/index_popup.html?buy=search_commands.html Re: The Gothic Wench Corset The Gothic Wench Corset looks to me like a plain 'ol Freddie's of Hollywood corset.

I tried running the linen and the linen blend through the washer with the dye remover. The blend gave up its dye right away but the linen soaked up all the dye from the water so now it's another color, rather pretty but it didn't take the dye evenly. Do I run the linen through again by itself? How often can I dye remove something before it weakens the fibers? What weight linen would smocks and shifts be for right next to the skin? How about for the embroidered smock on the Snakenborg portrait? Flipping through really old museum exhibition books at the grad library I saw a piece of linen done in blackwork. Someone had embroidered the sleeve shapes but then never cut them out so you could see the shapes of the sleeves unfinished and uncut out. The photo is very small and very old but I could look up the museum reference if anyone is interested. Cassandra __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The book is Velvet: History Techniques Fashions, Edited by Fabrizio de Marinis. In the chapter entitled "Velvet in Fasion: From the Thirties to the Present" there is a detail picture of the bodice of a Balenciaga outfit in caramel-coloured velvet. The embroidery is couched cord in black (like on the Victorian jacket) only there is no velvet cut away beneath it. According to this book the outfit was displayed in Lyon in 1985 for the Balenciaga "retrospective". On a similar note, but in this case about Elsa Schiaparelli: "This designer/dressmaker of Italian origin adopted 'volants' and 'ruches' in the most elegant and sumptuous outfits, with embroideries on tight-fitting jackets...borrowed from the fashions of 1860 to 1880."

This jacket/cape dates 1888-1893. Kathleen M. While I agree that satin applique with black jet was used as an ornamentation on capes of this type, I disagree that that is the method here. This may not be "burnout" velvet in a technical sense but rather pile-on-pile velvet (what many people call cut velvet), which has been around since the Renaissance. (The seller mentions "Floral patterns cut into the plush silk velvet.") Voided velvet is also a possibility. The distinction is that pile-on-pile velvet has piles that are different heights to create a pattern, and voided velvet is woven such that velvet pile only appears in certain places, leaving the ground fabric bare in others, to create a pattern. What is today known as burnout velvet might be woven as a voided velvet, or it might be selectively treated with a chemical that eats away the pile but not the ground in the places where it is applied. (There may be other methods, but those are the ones I know.) In case anyone is interested, you can buy this chemical in a home-use form called Fiber Etch. It will eat away cotton, linen, and rayon fibers, so you can use it for "burnout" on pile fabrics with grounds of other fibers or you can create cutwork on fabrics that are 100% plant fiber. Back to the cloak--it looks to me like pile-on-pile or voided velvet embellished with black soutache braid or silk cording. Stunning, too!

The linen/rayon blend gave up enough of it's color to be a very pretty pale blue but the linen is still it's original yellow. Should I have used more dye remover or hot water instead of warm? I could use the linen as is ( still yellow) for a corset linig but I was hoping to figure out how to do the undyeing before I tried it on the 10 yds of 100% raw silk which is a bright raspberry pink. Also, could I use duck for the middle layer of a corset. I don't think cotton is that common for the Elizabethan timeframe but I don't know how to stiffen linen. Could I use the linen it's original yellow for a corset? Thanks for all the help from the list. Normally my reproduction work is for the 1800's so I feel I'm way out of my depth on this project.

Most commercial dye removers as a bit rough to use in the home & certainly not in the washing ,machine What colour was the fabric to start with ? If is is dark it may be it was never white (if that is what you are hoping for) to start with. You could at this stage overdye to most colours sucessfully which would be better for the fabric than stripping it. >Should I have used more dye remover or hot water instead of warm?

Ah ! Don't make the mistake of thinking once you strip one , the method will work on anything it will depend on what it was dyed with the substrate etc. Generally when I was dyeing commercially we knew what & how a fabric was dyed which gives you a better chance. Silk will be tricky to strip, in that it will upset the fabric more than the more robust cellulosics. I can't recommend stripping as a regular practice (for the fabrics sake anyhow !) > Also, could I use duck for the middle layer of a corset.

Stephen Bergdahl has decided to teach a Halloween costume class at the Costume Classroom www.costumeclassroom.com . Stephen said he has been wanting to teach this class for years. He is a big Halloween fan since he was born Oct. 28, 19??. His class is called "Halloween Costumes for the Non-Sewer, or For the Sewer with no time." In four lessons starting Sept. 23, Stephen is going to teach how to make 18 female and 14 men different Halloween costumes. For a listing of the costumes, look at the class description. All and all, he is keeping a budget of time and $$$ in mind for the costumes. This class is part of our Halloween series so after Sept. 23, you can enter this class anytime until Oct. 15 (for those really running out of time). The class closes on Oct. 31. Stephen will hold your costuming hand until Halloween Day. So there, you don't have an excuse... you can still be in the Ball if you send me photos by that date!

I may just have to experiment when I get the time. ;-) There were a number of ways of achieving this look back in the Renaissance period, but unfortunately those skills have long been lost. I would think that "burn-out" using chemicals and a silk backed velvet is the closest you are going to get nowadays. It is beautiful, isn't it! best wishes Stevie _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Sep 9 10:17:41 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA19374 for ; Mon, 9 Sep 2002 10:17:40 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g89EGitj010880; Mon, 9 Sep 2002 08:16:44 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g89EGhg18926; Mon, 9 Sep 2002 08:16:43 -0600 (MDT) Received: from msgdirector1.onetel.net.uk (IDENT:mirapoint@msgdirector1.onetel.net.uk [212.67.96.148]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g89EC8g17110 for ; Mon, 9 Sep 2002 08:12:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: from melaniew ([213.78.114.112]) by msgdirector1.onetel.net.uk (Mirapoint) with SMTP id ALA30702; Mon, 9 Sep 2002 15:10:28 +0100 (BST) Message-ID: <009001c2580b$306e1340$70724ed5@melaniew> From: "Melanie Wilson" To: "LIST H Costume" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_008D_01C25813.9136B620" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Subject: [h-cost] Austrian, Spanish, and Irish late 19th C Costume Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com X-Reply-To: "Melanie Wilson" List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Mon, 9 Sep 2002 15:14:18 +0100 Status: RO This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_008D_01C25813.9136B620 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm hoping there is somebody (or bodies) on this list who are natives to = the above and know of costume books or magazine where I might find ref = to these, particularly fashionable clothes with traditional influence ? = But fashion plates & studies also needed Please ???

If you do it on the stove you can overdye almost anything black and I've used it in the washing machine to dye SCA costumes ( long story ). The dye remover box claims it will remove dye from most articles, no matter what the fiber content and is safe for any fabric on which you can use a non-chlorine bleach. It also claims to remove organic based food stains from clothes that are already white. It's an all-in-one package with no additional mordants and it does fade some after fifteen or twenty washings if you don't use the boil on the stove method for the original dye bath. It's safe for the home dyer which is probably why I'm having trouble with the linen, as most people would be using poly/cotton or all cotton t-shirts for this dye. Is there someplace I can get real professional dyes and removers? I know some of my quilter friends do their own hand dyeing but they're using 100% cotton, procion dyes and trying for a mottled appearance. I can always use the linen as is, a pale yellow and a very pale blue as linings or corset linings for other eras. The piece of linen/silk I've been eyeing is already white so if this undyeing isn't going to work or be unsafe for the do-it-at-home I'll just know to buy white for the undergarments. Could I overdye the silk with a commercial dye? One piece is a bright raspberry pink and the other is a dull terracotta (coral?)?

I just joined and am in the middle of trying to undye some pale pink linen, or rather bleach it. So far -- chlorine bleach does not work. I tried it diluted and then in a fit tried full strength for five minutes. No change. The only time I got a visable lightening was when I soaked the linen for 24 hours in a chlorine bleach solution. This is not recommended -- I now have a bag full of linen paper raw materials. I am also trying sun bleaching (exposing it in a window), oxygen bleach, and hydrogen peroxide. I'll let you know how it works. I have spilt bleach on an orange linen in the past and it is now spotted with white. It all depends on (a) the linen and (b) the original dye. These things tend to work great when you don't want them to! I have tried overdying the linen with tea and that kills the pink, but leaves it beige. On the silk, I overdyed an Indian HOT pink sari and it worked well. I used Rit.

Generally a well applied dye is hjard to remove, and whilst safe I'm sure, the dye properties & fabric properties are likely to be altered in the result, not drastically, but the more you do it the worse it is likely to get. It also claims to remove organic based food stains from clothes that are already white.

The piece of linen/silk I've been eyeing is already white so if this undyeing isn't going to work or be unsafe for the do-it-at-home I'll just know to buy white for the undergarments.

No, I think the Renaissance velvets Moira is interested in are the cisele and, possibly, ferronerie. Both involved cutting the pile, to varying depths, to obtain this most beautiful of fabrics. Eleanora of Toledo's dress in Bronzino's portrait is of cisele velvet, probably Genoese. This was a hugely skilful process, long-lost. best wishes Stevie _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Tue Sep 10 09:04:30 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA26091 for ; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 09:04:29 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8AD62tj012354; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 07:06:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8AD60006834; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 07:06:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from hawk.mail.pas.earthlink.net (hawk.mail.pas.earthlink.net [207.217.120.22]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8AD5P006648 for ; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 07:05:25 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pool-63.52.146.76.dlls.grid.net ([63.52.146.76] helo=earthlink.net) by hawk.mail.pas.earthlink.net with esmtp (Exim 3.33 #1) id 17okho-0005Tt-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 06:05:24 -0700 Message-ID: <3D7DEF94.8020207@earthlink.net> From: Magdalena User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011128 Netscape6/6.2.1 X-Accept-Language: en-us MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] smock patterns References: <20020909134223.9674.qmail@web12008.mail.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 08:11:48 -0500 Status: RO Cascio Michael wrote: >Reading through the cut construction and ornamentation >article linked through the Elizabethan costume page I >see an Janet Arnold article in the bibliography >written or published in 1977 in a journal in a >language I don't read. > Cassandra, The journal is a German costuming journal, but the article is in English. If you snag the citation from the bibliography and take it to your local library, they can get it for you through inter library loan (ILL). I'm in the midst of making a pattern for myself of the high necked Schorleyker smock - based on the line drawing of it in the FiD and what I know of men's shirts. When I'm happy with the results, I'll post the instructions up on my site. I'm hoping to go to the V&A next year to see the smocks in Fashion in Detail, particularly the one with the interlace pattern enclosing flowers. If I can get permission to publish the pattern on the web, I will do so. If you are looking for similar embroidery patterns, look for A Schole-House for the Needle by Schorleyker. Lacis and Hedgehog Handworks both carry it, I think. I'm currently embroidering a redwork smock for myself with patterns from it, and they work up well. -Magdalena who is darned pleased to that somebody read her page > > _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Tue Sep 10 11:53:47 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA32526 for ; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 11:53:47 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8AFt7tj005884; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 09:55:07 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8AFt3005122; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 09:55:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from fepA.post.tele.dk (fepA.post.tele.dk [195.41.46.143]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8AFsE004394 for ; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 09:54:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: from fepK.im.tele.dk ([195.41.46.227]) by fepA.post.tele.dk (InterMail vM.4.01.03.23 201-229-121-123-20010418) with ESMTP id <20020910155413.BAZY5641.fepA.post.tele.dk@fepK.im.tele.dk> for ; Tue, 10 Sep 2002 17:54:13 +0200 From: drewscph@post12.tele.dk To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] ornamentation of velvet wrap MIME-Version: 1.0 References: <8C04822546@mdx-rf-s1.nw.mdx.ac.uk> <003401c258c0$e1c5d8c0$4e3d7ad5@dan> X-Mailer: Opasia webmail (version opasia/3.2.4) X-Originating-IP: 195.215.190.236 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Message-Id: <20020910155413.BAZY5641.fepA.post.tele.dk@fepK.im.tele.dk> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by net.indra.com id g8AFsE004394 Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2002 17:54:13 +0200 Status: RO Hi Stevie, nice to hear from you again.

The thing's lopsided because I didn't get to add the battery pack that was supposed to power some more ELwire and would have balanced out the one running the huge red LEDs. _Now_ he wants me to add cadillac fins to the collander handles. ;} I knew I'd done a good job when Kelly Freas (did a lot of the conceptual art for Star Trek) came up and told us how great it looked.

According to my source, "cisele" refers to the pattern obtained during weaving, in this case patterns in cut and uncut pile - not voided areas. The one mentioned in PoF is voided velvet, which is obtained during the weaving also, but has areas with satin ground (non-pile). "Ferronnerie" refers to a spefic type of pattern, not a type of weaving process. Ferronnerie indicates a wrought iron look in the pattern. Most of these appear to be pile-on-pile velvet. > Eleanora of > Toledo's dress in Bronzino's portrait is of cisele > velvet, probably > Genoese. According to my source it is described as a "cut voided velvet with brocading and boucle wefts in gold and silver (riccio sopra riccio velvet)". These velvets brocaded with gold or silver were also known as "allucciolato" and "a riccio d'oro". The pattern is described as arabesqued. As to the source of the fabric, it is given as Florence. Considering that Eleonora had two master weavers installed at the Palazzo Vecchio "at her service", it was likely to have been specially woven for her. > This was a hugely skilful process, long lost. The processes have not been been completely lost, but they are extremely expensive to do. Mostly they are hand done. Take Luigi Bevilaqua of Venice: "The main boast of the company is that range of fabrics still hand-produced on original eighteenth/nineteenth-century looms. Now as then, all the phases of manufacture are manual - from the creation of the perforated cartoons that reproduce the exclusive fabric designs, to the preparation of the weft and the organisation of the individual threads."

I was trying to get enough color out of the linen so I could overdye it with the hope of having some idea of what color I would get in the end. That and the experimentation of learning how to do undyeing. I'm an information junkie and like to know how to do things just for the sake knowing. I can butcher a deer, rewire a house, cook over an open fire without burning anyone, etc. What color is okay for Elizabethan corsets? I really liked the cut construction and ornamentation article. It was exactly the info I was looking for so I'm glad you posted it. Are you any further along on the rest of the links? Any information on the appropriate drawn thread work for joining lengths of linen to make a long enough piece for a shift? As the pale blue linen is the wrong color for a shift I need to piece some lengths together and then decorate the seams.

I have overdyed both with procion with great success (no streaking or mottles) with and without trying to remove color-you just have to understand that the color charts you look at for dyes are usually representative of a particular fabric type and may be different if you change fabrics. You also have to be willing to use some fabric for testing or take the risk that it may not be what you want-I just love to fiddle with it!

Well, it would be helpful if you could let us know your source. According to my sources, (the one most easily coming to hand at the moment is "Silk", Jaques Anquetil, Flammarion, who devotes 30 pages to Renaissance velvets, pp32-62) "cisele" was obtained by "shearing the pile loops on the fabric warp to different heights(referred to as alto-basso) in order to create a variety of intricately textured patterns. The contrast between the velvety surfaces of the pattern and the matte background of the woven fabric produces shimmering effects in silken shades of red, purple or turquoise blue." (page 37) This not a process carried out during the weaving; it took place after the fabric had been woven, by artisans specialising in this skill, using special shears. The one mentioned > in PoF is voided velvet, which is obtained during the > weaving also, but has areas with satin ground > (non-pile). > "Ferronnerie" refers to a spefic type of pattern, not > a type of weaving process.

Most of these appear > to be pile-on-pile velvet. > Well, I don't have POF with me at the moment, hence my reference to Renaissance velvets in general, and the ferronnerie patterns in particular. Again, Anquetil asserts that ferronnerie pattern was achieved by shearing the velvet, see page 37 again. > > > Eleanora of > > Toledo's dress in Bronzino's portrait is of cisele > > velvet, probably > > Genoese. > According to my source it is described as a "cut > voided velvet with brocading and boucle wefts in gold > and silver (riccio sopra riccio velvet)".

In the absence of your source I can only note that Anquetil records that the finest cisele was created in Venice and Genoa, and that the fabric for Eleanora's dress was probably Genoese (page 48). Florence had its own very specialised silks,primarily gold and silver brocades, but we need to bear in mind that just because a type of fabric was in existence in Venice, or Genoa, it doesn't necessarily mean that the other Italian city-states could also produce it to that standard, or indeed, at all. Trade secrets and skills were guarded with considerable enthusiasm, and the great expansion of silk production in various areas was often when individuals moved, for one reason or another, to new areas. > > > This was a hugely skilful process, long lost. > The processes have not been been completely lost, but > they are extremely expensive to do.

In order to do so someone is going to have to do a great deal of practising with the cisele shears on silk velvet, and I doubt that any manufacturer is going to want to provide the wherewithal for that:-) best wishes Stevie _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 11 06:05:17 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id GAA28886 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 06:05:16 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8BA71QG012092; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 04:07:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8BA70w02227; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 04:07:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mhub.AXP.MDX.AC.UK (mhub.axp.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.6.11]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8BA66w01625 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 04:06:06 -0600 (MDT) Received: from CONVERSION-DAEMON.mdx.ac.uk by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V6.1-1 #38636) id <01KMDEOYM3J400HPPO@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume@indra.com; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:06:09 +0100 (BST) Received: from mdx-rf-s1.nw.mdx.ac.uk (mdx-rf-s1.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.198.4]) by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V6.1-1 #38636) with ESMTP id <01KMDENY8RO800IIFH@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume@indra.com; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 10:59:02 +0100 (BST) Received: from MDX-RF-S1/SpoolDir by mdx-rf-s1.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44) ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 10:56:32 +1100 Received: from SpoolDir by MDX-RF-S1 (Mercury 1.44); Wed, 11 Sep 2002 10:56:10 +1100 Received: from rf-lib-08107 (158.94.198.234) by mdx-rf-s1.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44) with ESMTP; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 10:56:07 +1100 From: Teddy Subject: Re: [h-cost] ornamentation of velvet wrap In-reply-to: <20020910155503.5020.41037.Mailman@net.indra.com> To: h-costume@indra.com Message-id: Organization: Middlesex University MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12a) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Priority: normal X-Comment: Middlesex University has scanned this message for viruses.

Or, for that matter, the weavers. It was the sort of highly specialist skill that took years to achieve, and these were vastly expensive fabrics. I think that there's a parallel with the embroiderers; it's been suggested that Botticelli, alone among Florentine painters, was allowed to design the embroideries shown in Primavera. The guild of embroiderers ruled with an iron hand... best wishes Stevie > _______________________________________________ > h-costume mailing list > h-costume@mail.indra.com > http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 11 06:58:22 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id GAA29107 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 06:58:22 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8BB03QG019019; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 05:00:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8BB01w02240; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 05:00:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mhub.AXP.MDX.AC.UK (mhub.axp.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.6.11]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8BAxnw02145 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 04:59:50 -0600 (MDT) Received: from CONVERSION-DAEMON.mdx.ac.uk by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V6.1-1 #38636) id <01KMDGSI4P6O00HR3E@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume@indra.com; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:59:58 +0100 (BST) Received: from mdx-rf-s1.nw.mdx.ac.uk (mdx-rf-s1.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.198.4]) by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V6.1-1 #38636) with ESMTP id <01KMDGSE6OVQ00EZD2@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume@indra.com; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:59:52 +0100 (BST) Received: from MDX-RF-S1/SpoolDir by mdx-rf-s1.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44) ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:57:23 +1100 Received: from SpoolDir by MDX-RF-S1 (Mercury 1.44); Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:56:53 +1100 Received: from rf-lib-08107 (158.94.198.234) by mdx-rf-s1.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44) with ESMTP; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:56:52 +1100 From: Teddy Subject: Re: [h-cost] Online Costume Ball (New Fun Class) In-reply-to: <20020911095300.24235.35707.Mailman@net.indra.com> To: h-costume@indra.com Message-id: Organization: Middlesex University MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12a) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Priority: normal X-Comment: Middlesex University has scanned this message for viruses.

I have a list of about five projects ready to go, and I have material (fabric and linings) for all of them EXCEPT the crucial fitted underdress that will be worn with most of them. I cannot make the overdresses till I have the underdress. And for that, I'm waiting for a medium blue worsted. I have navy, I have other colors, but no medium blue, and none in the stores (though I'm working at the store with the best worsted collection in town!). Once I have that, this place will turn into a garment processing plant. On the list is a 1400 sideless surcote of rose wool and (I hope) rabbit fur, a 1420 bag-sleeved houppelande out of a plum-and-red herringbone wool, a red silk 1450 "early" V-necked gown, a black worsted 1480 "late" V-necked gown, maybe a red or teal short-sleeved wool underdress (with pin-on sleeves) to go under the latter depending on what's left in the stash. There's also enough silk, wool, and linen around to do the proper 1200 and 1300 outfits, to follow up the 1100 I have already done (but which needs an underdress too, hmm). But those won't be done before the Ball, sorry! All this planning from someone who typically sews one outfit a year if I'm lucky. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 11 13:16:01 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA31883 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 13:16:01 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8BHH3QG022870; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:17:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8BHH0w23853; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:17:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from shell.nightowl.net (IDENT:root@shell.nightowl.net [207.124.43.8]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8BHGKw23091 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 11:16:21 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (robin@localhost) by shell.nightowl.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA32330 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 12:19:52 -0500 From: Robin Netherton To: Historic Costume List Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: [h-cost] Need wool washing help Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2002 12:19:52 -0500 (CDT) Status: RO I've been going through my fabric stash (look for some items for sale soon!) and I am now facing a sizable box of my wool "experiments." These were fabrics I washed, fulled, and/or dyed that didn't come out as well as I'd like. Now, if the wool isn't going to wash up, I'm glad to find that out *before* I make it into a garment. But that does leave me with some sad remains. So, I'm wondering if any of the wool experts on this list have any suggestions on how I might salvage these pieces. The chief problem I have is when the wool seems to be shrinking or pulling unevenly. I'm used to seeing the body of the fabric shrink more than the selvedges (which end up rippling a bit), but the problem comes when the effect seems to happen all over, unevenly. I'm not getting a lot of pilling, and the color is fine. It's just the weave is rippling or pulling irregularly all over. I also sometimes get a rough surface (on worsteds) or a crepey one (on woolens), even when the original was very smooth. Ironing doesn't help. Is there a trick I can use to improve this already-ruined pieces -- a particular washing agent, or a way of washing or drying that would even out the weave/shrinkage/surface? These are usually large pieces -- many yards -- so I can't, say, stretch them out by hand. Thanks in advance for any help. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Sep 11 15:26:43 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA00376 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 15:26:42 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8BJS5QG018676; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 13:28:05 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8BJS1H00365; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 13:28:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo-d05.mx.aol.com (imo-d05.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.37]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8BJR3H29223 for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 13:27:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from AnnBWass@aol.com by imo-d05.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v34.10.) id 6.11f.1656dc95 (4394) for ; Wed, 11 Sep 2002 15:26:40 -0400 (EDT) From: AnnBWass@aol.com Message-ID: <11f.1656dc95.2ab0f2f0@aol.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Need wool washing help To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="part1_11f.1656dc95.2ab0f2f0_boundary" X-Mailer: AOL 7.0 for Windows US sub 10622 Sender: h-costume-admin@indra.com Errors-To: h-costume-admin@indra.com X-BeenThere: h-costume@mail.indra.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Re-creating period costume, from the Bronzeage to the mid-20th Century List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2002 15:26:40 EDT Status: RO --part1_11f.1656dc95.2ab0f2f0_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Try sending a piece to a dry cleaner to steam professionally?

Wool should always be washed in warm water(Prevents streaching). You should always use a detergent that is specificaly for woolens(prevents "fluffyness"). Woolens are best dried flat(prevents streaching), on a warm day. And it's best not to use a washing machine. For large amounts of woolen fabric I put it in the bath-tub with water and detergent and "walk" on it.

We have 17 women in the Virtue chorus, and as we don't always have the same personnel from year to year, we can't afford (nor can they!) to make real period costumes. Our performance "outfits" are basic black -- black sweaters, shirts, skirts, pants, whatever, just no jeans -- and I'm trying to come up with something that can go over the "basic black" that would *suggest* something medieval-ish (Hildegard is late 11th c German). The issues here are not authenticity of fabric or accuracy (gasp) of design. I just need something reasonably easy and not very fitted to make for 17 women (in a variety of figures!) that will be easy to get in and out of, easy to pack in a suitcase and won't get too wrinkled so it will still look good for the 12 days we're there in February... I'm overwhelmed with things in other parts of my life and will not see a reply here, so please offer your advice and share your wisdom by replying to me at sheilabb@earthlink.net Hoping for some great ideas and tips!

It's just the weave is rippling or pulling irregularly all over. I also
sometimes get a rough surface (on worsteds) or a crepey one (on woolens),
even when the original was very smooth. Ironing doesn't help.

Is there a trick I can use to improve this already-ruined pieces -- a
particular washing agent, or a way of washing or drying that would even
out the weave/shrinkage/surface?

These are usually large pieces -- many yards -- so I can't, say, stretch
them out by hand.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Robin,

I am not a wool expert but I have had some luck using a ton of liquid fabric softener to improve the texture and workability of wool.  I've also found that using dishwashing detergent (in very very small amounts) is helpful in wool washing projects.  Give em' both a try.  Good Luck!

The minimum amount is 200 meters and that is too much for just one person, thus I am looking for people who are interested in sharing an order. The order would go to the UK, and I have their samples and price list here. Please contact me at marquis@kipar.org if you are interested, many people say their boning is the best.

I guess I was not clear in what I was asking for. I'm looking for some kind of jacket/wrap/tunic item that can be worn *over* our basic black outfits -- those marble churches are cold! ;-) I have not the time or money to make true medieval clothing, but I need to suggest a medieval look. Co-director wants tops that have the depth of stained glass, so that when the virtues are standing on the altar steps (or at least in front of the audience) we see an array of rich color (blues, reds, greens, purples, golds, etc). So, if you had to come up with some kind of top type item that is a relaxed fit and can be worn over the rest of the "basic black" concert outfit.... what would it be? I'm afraid I have only come up with things like haori jackets, bat-wing type wraps, etc. that meet the requirements for not much fabric per person, easy to make and won't take much room in a 23" suitcase. T-tunics slit up the front? Anyone have more ideas? We don't need to look like a religious order.. I'm grateful for any tips or leads... Sheila B Earlier I wrote Dear Friends, I'm thrilled that our Italian musical tour this year will include a performance of Hildegard von Bingen's "Ordo Virtutem", the battle between the Devil and the Heavenly Virtues for Anima (Soul). We have 17 women in the Virtue chorus, and as we don't always have the same personnel from year to year, we can't afford (nor can they!) to make real period costumes. Our performance "outfits" are basic black -- black sweaters, shirts, skirts, pants, whatever, just no jeans -- and I'm trying to come up with something that can go over the "basic black" that would *suggest* something medieval-ish (Hildegard is late 11th c German). The issues here are not authenticity of fabric or accuracy (gasp) of design. I just need something reasonably easy and not very fitted to make for 17 women (in a variety of figures!) that will be easy to get in and out of, easy to pack in a suitcase and won't get too wrinkled so it will still look good for the 12 days we're there in February... I'm overwhelmed with things in other parts of my life and will not see a reply here, so please offer your advice and share your wisdom by replying to me at sheilabb@earthlink.net Hoping for some great ideas and tips!

Since this is plastic, how does it compare to Rigilene? I have been thinking lately of getting some sturdier boning but I'd like something that doesn't require buying equipment to cut and grind as steel boning needs.

More information I realize now I should have shared: Hildegard specifies colors and icons for her virtues. And singers don't want headgear. ;-) I'll have a chat (oops, typo'ed 'chant' -- good pun!) with my co-director to see if a tabard sort of thing would do.

Certainly. This book is completely devoted to velvet and its weaving. It is called "Velvet: History Techniques Fashion", edited by Fabrizio de Marinis, my English edition by Idea Books NY, 1994. Original edition in Italian by Idea Books, Milan, 1993. Book is made up of essays by: Aurora Fiorentini Capitani (author of many publications on fashion) Roberta Orsi Landini (Expert on ancient textiles, director of Arte della Seta Lisio foundation, works for Galleria del Costume in Florence. Curator.) Luisella Pennati (architect, works in set design of the Teatro della Scala Milan) Alfredo Redaelli (director of the Radaelli Velluti) Stefania Ricci (in charge of the historical archive of Salvatore Ferragamo and Emilio Pucci, author on costume and fashion) One charecteristic of cisele velvet that has so far not been mentioned is that patterns in cisele velvet were on a small scale. From this source on the invention of cisele velvets: "In the context of the velvets that were manufactured for use in clothing, in particular the smaller size of the design module, which allowed a more rapid shift in the programming of the looms, prompted the weavers to engage in experimentation with every effect imaginable, and to work to devlop new esthetic and technical innovations. The most popular type became that of cisele velvets, which featured loops and tufts. The combinations among the two types of pile, and the relationships among those types and the ground, gave rise to fabrics with different appearances and qualities of light and weight. In the traditional formula, the motif was made of tufts of cut pile on a ground usually in satin. The uncut pile surrounded it in a fine line that was of lower height and which had a distinct luminous tone, so as to create an intermediate passage which made the decoration practically a bas-relief. But the plastic qualities of the fabric were no longer the prime consideration of the weaver, who was now intent on composing planes of varied luminosity. At times the weaver would reverse the relationships, designing the motif in reverse so that it would appear to be carved out of the pile; or else the weaver would give prevalence to the areas in uncut pile, or trace two different patterns, using two or three different levels of the fabric. In some cases, the ground never appears at and the motif (in uncut pile on a ground of cut pile, or vice versa) became visible only through the way the light struck the velvet." Note the oft repeated words "weaver" and the phrase "programming of the looms" - I think the word cut is what is being misunderstood in this case, because the cutting of velvet pile is part of the weaving process, but may be misundertood to happen after the weaving process. I have a few examples of period cisele velvets here: My source for the definition of ferronnerie and its connection with voided velvets (as distinct from cisele) is a booklet put out by Scalamandre Silks: "Textiles of the Italian Renaissance; their History and Development" by the director of the Scalamandre Museum of Textiles, John Kent Tilton. In it he says: "Florence was also noted for its beautiful and delicate wrought iron, the motifs of which were inspirational for the patterns of the Florentine voided velvets. They were known as "ferronnerie" velvets. Their delicate ogival lines, suggestive of the late Gothic, were rendered in leaf-shaped panels and appear to be etched or incised in the silk pile of the velvet. The centre motif, which they encircled, was invariably the artichoke and in the mid 16th century the pineapple, with fanciful small asters, carnations or thistles sprouting from their tops. The feeling of wrought iron ornament was also seen in Florentine brocatelles and damasks." ===== Lady Bella Lucia da Verona Innilgard, Lochac The Realm of Venus http://au.geocities.com/bella_lucia_da_verona Owner, Courtesan E-mail Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Courtesan http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

I still have your bodice pattern. This evening i shall pick it up and meassure how many bones i used in this and how long they were. Your bodice and the pink baroque corset with the attached sleaves could be comparable. But the pink corset uses much narrower bones than i used in your bodice, so if you want to make the boning fully boned, you have to use more off cause, but you ca'nt use as many as in the pink corset because Wissners bones are much broader.

I haven't used them all in a garment, but I've handled them all and heard various opinions. Feather boning: white plastic, comes in a roll, usually in a white cotton casing. You can also machine stitch through the plastic. Available in most fabric stores. Someone recently said she used it successfully, and that she is small-busted. I find that, with wear, it bends and ripples quickly, and ultimately does not offer much support. It may work in fully-boned stays, but I don't know anyone who has tried that. White metal boning: Comes in 1/2" and 1/4" widths (approximately, it seems to be getting thinner), in cut and finished length increments of 1/2", and apparently also available in a roll. Can be cut, filed, and dipped to specific lengths. I prefer to use the pre-made lengths, and find it's best to leave a bit of room in the length of the channel. The pre-finished ends will work through the fabric eventually, so a leather or other sturdy binding is important on the edges of the corset. The boning offers great support. Spiral boning: Looks like a flattened spring. Comes in 1/2" and 1/4" widths in increments of 1/2" length, also as a roll. Easier to cut to length, and end caps are available. I find that, if cut carefully, I don't need to use an end cap. Spiral boning has some sideways flex, which is good for 19thC corsets. Rigiline: This is a series of about 4 to 8 nylon strands (1/4" and 1/2" widths) woven into a polyester tape. It's very easy to cut. The downside is that the nylon can creep beyond the tape and poke through the outer fabric. The cure - melt the ends with a flame. The very detail-oriented costumer can also split the width of rigiline and melt the long edge for a 1/8" width. You can machine sew through it. Rigiline is more for light use than heavy corsetry, but when narrowed to 1/8" it's great as the horizontal bones across the bust of 18thC stays. Wissner plastic whalebone: I have some of this, but have not actually used it yet. It comes in two thicknesses as well as different widths. It would definitely be easier to cut than metal boning! The rigidity is good, and supposedly was designed to most resemble whalebone. Oak basket splints: Another thing I have not tried, but some people like the half-round splints for 18thC stays. Cheaper than the other options, but wood will not have as much flex as metal and can break. Horsehair braid: You know, that plastic (nylon?) tape, woven diagonally (like a shoelace), generally for adding flare to skirt hems. You can make it narrower by stretching, and then layer and machine stitch them together for more rigidity. It's not good for corset boning, but works well to stiffen bodice seams. The ends have to be very well-contained or the little strands will poke through. Hooping: This is two metal pieces in a buckram or plastic casing. It's meant for skirt supports, not for corset boning. Other cheaper materials have been suggested - bamboo is probably not a good idea, because if it breaks the long, sharp pieces can be hazardous. I tried metal strapping tape many years ago, and it's a lot of work but not very flexible. Anyone try plastic strapping tape? Fortunately, there are a lot of options available of boning that is made for the purpose. Did I leave anything out? -Carol _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Fri Sep 13 12:49:39 2002 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA28305 for ; Fri, 13 Sep 2002 12:49:39 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g8DCe2bD004623; Fri, 13 Sep 2002 06:40:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with ESMTP id g8DCe1o09395; Fri, 13 Sep 2002 06:40:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from murphys.services.quay.plus.net (murphys.services.quay.plus.net [212.159.14.225]) by net.indra.com (8.11.6/8.11.3) with SMTP id g8DCcxo09169 for ; Fri, 13 Sep 2002 06:39:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: (qmail 24882 invoked from network); 13 Sep 2002 12:38:50 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO h1f0g4) (212.159.22.246) by murphy.services.quay.plus.net with SMTP; 13 Sep 2002 12:38:50 -0000 Message-ID: <014801c25b22$a6c8fa40$f6169fd4@h1f0g4> From: "Sally Ann Chandler" To: References: <20020912144803.2559.qmail@web13308.mail.yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] UK Interested in 'Plastic Whalebone' corset boning from Wissner?

It's Easter weekend of next year (2003) and it will be a veritable orgy of costuming- panels, discussions, classes, dances, workshops, masquerades. All activities designed with YOU the costumer in mind. To find out all about it, go to: http://www.jennifarse.com/cc2003/ I am your humble Programming Chair and I'd like to petition the list for ideas of what you'd like to see as programming at the convention. Also, I've chatted with several of Youse Guys about participating in various aspects (Susan Eanes!) and after my e-mail crashed last year, I've been trying to reconstruct my contact list. If I've contacted you in the past, and you haven't heard from me personally in awhile, please contact me soon so I can get you slated into the programming track. I know that a number of h-costumers are planning on attending- I'll use them shamelessly to get everyone else interested in coming too- the list includes: The Fabulous Teddy The Equally Fabulous, But Not Nearly As Orange, Tom Melanie Wilson Drea Leed Stephen Bergdahl Angela Kovatch Here's hoping for lots of great ideas and to see many of you there!

I haven't done any testing on it yet, but it appears to be a fine suit-weight wool, 56 inches wide. It's firmly woven twill with a colored band of red and gold woven into the selvages that says EXTRA STRONG at intervals. Printed on the reverse (if the words are printed on the "right" side) is an emblem. I don't know all the proper heraldry descriptions--but I'll try to describe it. A wreath of leaves, each sheaf a different kind, both with red dots (berries?); within this is a shield divided into quarters. The upper left has a K, the upper right has a crown with 3 dots below it, the lower right has a 2, the lower left I can't make out--it might be a snake? Below all this is a banner that says Registered Trade Mark. The whole thing is printed in white and red. Does this tell anyone anything?

Everything you could possibly want is within about 1 block in every direction from that intersection. South of 9th on Maple you have two Michael Levine stores - one is fashion fabrics and the other is home dec fabrics (915-917 S Maple). To the east of Maple, on 9th street, is shop after shop of fabric, all of similar quality. My favorite is (as someone else mentioned) as store called Kashkool. They have a surprisingly large selection, some fascinating trims and lots of pleasant, helpful staff. North of 9th on Maple are several trim stores with amazing prices. For example, a trim that I saw at JoAnn's for $20 a yard was about $2 a yard. Bohemian Crystal is just a bit further up the street (need a foot-long teardrop Austrian crystal? theyv'e got it!) Best thing you can do is make up a list, or at least have a series of priorities in your head, and then put on your sturdiest walking shoes and start exploring. Have fun!

(heh, heh....Teddy brought the Infamous Photo Album....wow!) Nicole, I'm really sorry I didn't get to Canterbury to even say hello, although I kinda waved in your direction . I sure thought of you, though, every time I saw some gorgeous Restoration-era garment or painting (you'd *LOVE* the stuff in the Costume Museum in Bath!!!) Penny, you would have loved it, too...I thought of you especially, as they were showing, in honor of Her Majesty's 50th Anniversary on the throne, a special display of some of her gowns. And I got to drool all over this amazing display of Elizabethan/Stuart shirts and gloves and women's informal jackets, a couple of which I'd never seen before. They also had an 18th c. pair of stays on display, and a couple of stomachers, and some lovely 18th c. gowns, and lace, and, and...... *sigh*.... I'm already making plans to go back! Talk to you all again, when I'm more caught up on my sleep (I'm still running on Dublin time, which is 7 hours ahead of Montana time...groan!) --Sue, who now has the Most Amazing Collection of Costume-Related books!

CostumeCon is traditionally held in the Spring and hotels are easy to book over Easter weekend as most folks aren't getting married or having business stuff then......for obvious reasons. It's the same reason MiniCon was held that weekend for many, many years- guaranteed hotel space. For our Jewish costuming friends, the Con is being held in Skokie a suburb of Chciago, and it's very, very Jewish! There will be absolutely no problem in getting Passover appropriate foods.

I say recent because the aesthestic of the Victorian mode as expressed in the late twentieth century seems evident. The width and volume of the flounce is greater than you usually find even in the 1890's. And the lace is wrong for the 1860's, at least from examples of garments or even photos in my collections. I would question the later date of the garment because I have a very similar one in comparable condition that is documented for 1843-45. The bodice style and shape is reliable for that decade., and the fullness of the skirt also looks correct. The 'interesting buttons' were also add-ons. Their apparent style is almost nouveau and unlike antiques appropriate to pre civil war buttons. Also, I have never seen them used in that manner for dress trim of that earlier period. ----- Original Message ----- Kathleen From: "Cabbage Rose" To: Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 1:26 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] 1830s dress on Ebay-DEAL > "More like 1850s-60s, and I suspect that lace on the sleeves was added > later." > > Ok, that's interesting.

What specifically >places it later that jumps out at you? 1830s sleeves tend to be wide at the upper arm and close-fitting at the wrist. 1850s-60s sleeves tend to be close at the upper arm and bell out at the lower arm, not extending all the way to the wrist, as shown in the image. 1830s necklines are likely to be wider than this neckline, especially in mid decade, when the neckline sometimes widens almost to the shoulders. The neckline on this example, and especially the front trimming, looks very much like 1850s-60s examples I have seen. 1830s fabric tends to be lighter-coloured and in floral stripes. 1850s-60s fabric is often darker and a different stripe, like the garment shown (I have seen other extant examples of this sort of stripe in 1950s-60s garments). Real 1850s-60s lace tends to be compulsively handworky and delicate, tending to broidery Anglaise and eyelet, while this lace looks like 1900-1920 darned net, as well as I could tell from the image on my screen. Also, the lace is sewn right onto the sleeves, rather than being separate under-sleeves which is the usual 1850s-60s practice. This is as tho somebody in the 1900s-1920s used it as a costume. But if, as I assume, the garment is genuine 1850s-60s, the price is still very good. I see such things offered for $300-$500 every once in a while, and people seem to be buying them for those prices.

I have only studied garments of this period by reading Joan Severa's "Dressed for the Photographer" and that has been 3 years ago. I completely forgot the sleeve detail and was focusing on the bodice, but your details make sense. I should have gone back and double checked, but I was in a rush to let the guy know he had something that appeared to be quite a bit older than he thought. You're right though, the price was still pretty good for the piece, if it is in fact in the condition he describes and without fabric rot.

I don't know about a site, but the problem is that apparently the last time I spoke to a lawyer there is no such thing as an 'international' copyright law, but individual laws of countries that are very similar though. Furthermore I have always been warned that although a copyright appears to be expried or a copyright holder cannot be found, in 99% of all cases the copyright has been transferred to another. I just spoke to an expert the other week because of the UK Universities' HERON project, regarding electronic publishing of material,which has much stricter rules than the paper publishing in classrooms etc. Actually, the rules are so strict that they make one shiver. Anyway, he said that what sometimes takes months is the tracking down of a current copyright holder, and even though a magazine from 1900 may apperar as if its copyright had expried, it most probably was just transferred. No idea about US stuff though, maybe it is different there, but if you for example took material out of a very old Punch issue, and believed because you bought this issue off a dealer, you could claim that the copyright was yours and ppl have to pay you for it, you are most probably wrong, because the material in the Punch issue would have gone to the heirs of the contribuors or syndicates or follow ups of those, or transferred to the heirs of the owners of Punch. Something like that, this is how I understood it after questioning the gentleman for quite a while, but hey, I may be wrong *laughs* The best is, penny, if you contact a lawyer who specialises in this, otherwise you may get into DEEP trouble, because that's what I have learned from HERON, that actually, the laws are extremely strict (for example if an article that was copyright cleared = payed for, has an image, the image and every other image has to be seperately copyright cleared). I am glad I am not directly responsible for the copyright clearance for my faculty...

In the US, at least, you can copyright any changes you make to the work. Such as the selection of materials for an anthology, editing of text, editing of illustrations, layout on the page, any new text (such as an introduction, footnotes, or index), translation to another language, etc. > (for example if an article that > was copyright cleared = payed for, has an image, the image and every other > image has to be seperately copyright cleared) Permission to use copyrighted images must be obtained--you can't "borrow" one from a work on the grounds that it's just one illustration. But whether copyright for each image must be obtained from a different person depends on whether the rights for each image are held by different people--which they may or may not be. If the copyrights to the images have expired, of course you don't have to worry about this. Fran > --------------------------------------------- Visit our web pages!

Well, I can only say what he said, but it might well be that he didn't quite understand my request/question. he certainly was rather astonished when I mentioned publications like Hannah Wooley's from 1677, held in the British Library. > > Anyway, he > > said that what sometimes takes months is the tracking down of a current > > copyright holder > > This can be true of a work that is older, but not yet in the public domain. I wish I knew, if this is the case, what the expiration date is. > No one can acquire the copyright to a work in the public domain. In the US, I thought the same, but tehn why do people claim they have it? Don't get me wrong, I think that Penny does GREAT stuff, but I can't understand why she says that the magazines are copyrighted to the costume gallery then on the web pages. I'm just confused. :-) > Permission to use copyrighted images must be obtained--you can't "borrow" one > from > a work on the grounds that it's just one illustration. You can't use the image, if it is not copyrighted by the author/publisher from whom you obtain permission, full stop. Unless the copyright owner of said image has agreed. This goes for image 2, image 3, and so on. If they are all owned by one, fine. If they are owned by several, stress. But whether copyright > for > each image must be obtained from a different person depends on whether the > rights > for each image are held by different people--which they may or may not be. This goes without saying, doesn't it? Yet permission must be obtained for each image that is in the article (for example) > If the > copyrights to the images have expired, of course you don't have to worry > about > this. True.

It depends a lot on the style of the corset (ie if it has any very long bones in it, or a long point), and how wide the boning is, and whether you will fully bone or half bone it. The corsets I've made (16th, 17th and 18th c) generally use about 12m of boning. I fully bone the front and half bone the back and sides. Usually about half of the 12m goes in the fully boned front. And I'm a bit smaller than you are Nicole.

At least in US law, there is another issue that has nothing to do with copyright (works can have protections/restrictions other than or in addition to copyright). Which is, permission to use the physical copy of the work, by the owner. If a library, historical society, or individual lends you a work whose content is in the public domain, but for the purpose of personal reading or research rather than reprinting, then it's not legal for you to reprint from that copy without their permission. The owner has the right to protect their own business interests, if they plan to reprint the work themselves at some point. They have the right to protect their physical copy from activities that may damage it, such as scanning. The bottom line is it's their _copy_, and in lending it to you they essentially license how you can use it.

That is what I said.  If she changes it she may copyright the changes.  But 
if she is just scanning them in she may not say it is copyrighted.  The same 
goes for pictures that are bought...you may not copyright them because you

According to our lawyer, this gets really complex--because, scanner settings can
have a lot of effect on the scanned image.  Two scans of the same image are not
necessarily alike.  Color scans, especially, can vary a lot with the settings.  For
example, our book  _After a Fashion_ has a (primarily) jade green cover.  This
turned out to be a bad choice, because although it was easy to print correctly it is
very hard to scan in a way that displays tastefully on a monitor.  Our website
displays the color very much as on the real book--but, we fiddled with the scan
settings a lot to get it right.  Most retailers putting up their own quickie scans
of the same cover wound up with a really lurid, awful shade of kelly green.

So:  Supposing the image is in the public domain and therefore legal for anyone to
scan--different scans may, in fact be copyrightable. Different photos of the image
would certainly be, even if they looked very much alike.

It sounds as if British copyright law is much stricter than U.S. Part of the
intent of our (US) copyright law is that works will ALL someday be in the
public domain, so that no one has a copyright forever. Perhaps part of the
intent of British law is for works to be able to be controlled privately
forever. That's my guess, anyway.

Anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong Fran and others, but another point
about Penny's copyright -- you can't copy her images, but if you have
another copy of any of the publications she used, you can copy THOSE images
in your own book or on your own web site. You just can't take Penny's. Her
copyright is for her work created with public domain images, not for the
public domain image. See?

Assuming that you're asking about the marking/trimming/pinning 
aspect, as opposed to the sewing aspect, my favorite method is to 
have the person wearing the skirt stand on a stool (chairs with backs 
don't work) so that the excess fabric can fall naturally down past 
the feet and not puddle up.

Exactly.

Re copyright of scans:  Savvy publishers who hire graphic artists or services to
scan images make sure to obtain the copyrights of the scans in the contract.
There is a scam (in my opinion) where the person scans the images, then
announces that if the publisher actually wants to _use_ the scans, they have to
pay $$$ extra, because the _rights_ to the scans weren't explicitly included in
the contract.  The person scanning didn't bring up this issue when the contract
was drawn up, of course; only when it's time to turn over the scans.  The
publisher then has to decide whether it is more expensive to have all the
scanning redone by someone else (with a tighter contract) or to pay the first
person extra.  I know more than one publisher who's been burned on this one.

If you can find a stable/level enough stool, you might be able to combine 
this with another techniqe I've heard of (but I will admit I've not yet 
had a chance to try)...

Run a level line across a doorway and chalk it.  Stand (on the stool) so 
that the fabric of the skirt brushes against the line.  Then slowly 
rotate to mark the hem all around.

I agree. I used about this much just in this corset:
http://recital.tripod.com/costume/margaret.htm Note I have 2 handy photos of
it laid out so you can see all the channels:)

And that's not as fully boned as I would have liked. I was given 8 metres at
first, and then a further 3 so that's 11m, and I could have done with
another metre.

This is why a lot of people have problems with plastic boning, they simply
don't use as much as required. Not saying that's the cause of all the
problems, but it's a big one.

I'm a size.. erg, 10AUS which is a size 12 NZ (or at least it used to be til
we took on Aussie sizes recently) Something likea  size 8US? Eh, you can see
from the piccies;)

Hi. It seems nice and perfectly applicable for SCA/ Renfaire use, and at
125 US, a great buy. There seems to be a little gap between the doublet
and breeches that can be remedied by the addition of points or hooks and
eyes. It is nice to see the whole suit available, including hat, hose,
etc. My first attempt at the same sort of suit was not as well done, nor
as fancy.  Mike T.

Hi. The wreath of leaves with berries and the K might indicate Korea. Heraldry
appears to be used by anyone attempting to imply quality. The term "Registered"
might indicate origin, as different nations use different terms. That's all I
have (sorry). Mike T.

Thank you Fran for the link for Britain's copyright laws.

As for the images and articles on my website....
None of the images on my website are straight scans.  I wish it was that
easy, but we spend many hours cleaning and repainting a lot of the images.
Right now, I am working on a 1922 Lane Bryant Maternity catalog.  Boy what a
mess I got myself into, but the end product will be worth it.  I am spending
about 8-12 hours cleaning and repainting each image.  I spent all last
night, separating three ladies on one page that were presented as a group.
They put prices and graphics all over the illustrations.  So I am taking
them off and painting in what I would think would be in its place.
Repainting gets really strange when I have to paint the people body parts
because they have another image overlapping.  Plus that I take a lot of the
backgrounds out to feature the original model.  Plus, the catalog's images
on the back side bleed through the page so I have to paint out the bleed
through. So that is why there are copyrights on them.  The images are being
presented in an entirely new manner.

I own 90% of the material that is presented on my website.  The other 10%
has been loaned to me, and I have permission letters from the owners.  When
I did my internship in a museum, part of my work was in the manuscript
archives.  I learned a great deal about loaning and borrowing materials when
I was in the archives.  When I started my online library was when I started
collecting original manuscripts.  So yes, if you own the same articles and
images that I am presenting online, you may put it online, but you can't
present it in the same manner that I am.

Also when I first started putting articles online, I consulted with Ladies
Home Journal and Vogue/Butterick lawyers about what I wanted to do.  The
manner of my presentation is copyrighted, especially the html code.  We do
edit the text of articles but try to stay to the original tone of the
article.  We do change the spellings of some words but words like colour is
left the same because the average reader understands its meaning.  My
husband, a professional editor, proofread an article that you will see later
tonight.  When the article was originally written it appeared that certain
words were missing.  So we added them in.

After consulting with a copyright attorney, we need to be remove the
trademarked names, like Ladies Home Journal out of the webpage titles and
meta tags.  This is a long process that we are working on.  We can legally
state that this article was originally printed in... and put the trademarked
name in the bibliography source but not in the title of the webpage.
Before someone remarks that there are trademarked names in my titles, please
remember, we are in the process of changing this.

As for copyright laws in different countries... I am interested in using
material from other countries, for two reasons.  1. I would like to make my
library more international oriented...not just American fashions.  2. I
would like to cover more of the 20th Century fashions but because of US
copyright laws, I am stuck at the year 1923.  So I am looking at other
countries as possible sources.

We do a lot of that kind of scan and text editing too.  Our lawyer said that work/the new
versions are copyrightable, so we register the rights to it/them.

That's a cool idea for hemming by yourself!

My usual method requires two people. The dressed person stands on a phone
book. Arrange the skirt exactly as it should fall, meaning all the folds
fall straight down to the floor. Then, without pulling on the fabric, make
sharp chalk marks every few inches at the point where the fabric hits the
floor. The breaks are very noticeable, and the floor provides a good
backing to your chalk so you can make clear marks.

With a very full skirt, it's easiest to do the arranging and marking bit
by bit, moving the excess out of the way and making sure the part you're
marking is falling straight from the hipline. Mark, then move over a few
inches, redistribute, and mark again.

Have the person take off the dress. Spread out the hem, and connect the
marks with a smooth even line. The outliers should be obvious. Expect the
line to rise a little along any areas where you're on the bias, and lower
along the areas where you're on the straight grain, because the hang of
the skirt would have made some parts of the skirt stretch more. (And you
DID hang it for a day or two, right?)

If you want to be sure you're symmetrical from left side to right, fold
the dress along center front and center back so the sides are even. Lay
out flat. Pin, through both layers, on your marks on the side that's
facing up. Flip the entire thing over. Mark a line that's an average
between the pinned marks and the marks that are now visible. Note: This
does NOT work for people who have asymmetrical hips or shoulders, or
leg-length discrepancies.

If you're adding a train, sketch it in with the dress laid out as I just
described. Start expanding your hemline a bit forward of the side points.

Cut on your line. Then, if you want a dress that skims the floor, turn the
hem up the width of the telephone book. If you want one that brushes along
the floor, turn up less. And so on. If you want one that's higher than the
floor, you may not even need a phone book -- just mark where the fabric
hits, and turn up. Remember that with a springy fabric, the lack of weight
on the hem may cause it to hang a bit shorter after hemming, so compensate
accordingly.

This probably takes less time to do than it did for me to write it out.

--Robin

Frequently the issue with museums is that their photographs and other 
reproductions of public domain work are copyrighted.

For example, all of Botticelli's paintings are well within the public 
domain. (In the US, for sure, and probably everywhere else as well.) 
But -- the museum owning one of the paintings can restrict 
photography, so that the only photographers currently allowed to 
photograph the painting work for the museum or otherwise sign their 
copyright over to the museum. Then the museum, by default, has 
copyright over all photographs of the artwork, which essentially 
removes the work from the public domain -- unless you can get another 
photo that is old enough to be public domain after all. The 
photographs are themselves considered to be creative works on their 
own merit, that just happen to include a public domain image.

In the US all works pre-1923 are public domain. Period. Some works 
post-1923 are as well, but it's harder to know -- they have to be 
works that were not renewed at a particular time under the old 
copyright law. It's a pain.

If you buy a copy of that 1677 publication at auction, you should be 
able to do anything you like with it since it is public domain. But 
if you are just using the British Library's copy, they can restrict 
you in any way they like for a variety of reasons. And if you are 
using images of it that they created recently, then they can 
copyright those images and restrict you that way.

Hi Wendi,

My maiden name is Dunlap too!

This is how the museums make their money.  The Valentine Museum owns one of
the largest collections of the Civil War images.  When you look in a CW
book, look in the credits for a mention of the museum.   Also when you see
films and documentaries, they credit them.

Since the funding of the arts has been cut so much, this is their principal
source of income.

Yes indeed, while museums like the V&A who allow photography only own the
photographs that their photographers take, but not ones that you and I take.
That's why they never allow a tripod or similar of course, to avoid
professional photography.

Nah, not for my use, I use it for PhD research, and the documents that I sign
don't restrict that at all. After all, where would the world come to if
research were not allowed freely anymore!!!!!!!!

The new article that I mentioned previously is ready.  It is called "Late
Victorian Hair Care"
http://www.costumegallery.com/Delineator/Sept_1893/Hairstyles/hair1a.htm  It
was originally printed in an 1893 Delineator magazine.

This is a lengthy article and I strongly suggest printing it and reading at
your leisure.  Now at times the advice given is very funny... sometimes
bazaar.  Please remember that people all over the U.S., Canada, and France
read this magazine.  Please feel free to comment on it.

Copyright for commercial use & for private or scholarly use differs greatly.

Whilst the copyright laws exist to protect the copyright holder from
unauthorised use. But the copyright holder needs to sue to enforce such
rights, against the private individual using material for their own use, it
is unlikely to be worth it because the loss orf earnings from such
infringment is negligible.

Abuse on a commercial scale is more worthwhile , in terms of taking action,
but at the end of the day it will still be a commercial decision, there are
no copyright police as such it is a civil matter and therefore expensive.

Reasonably efforts are expected to locate copyright holder, if permission is
sought, most copyright holders of newer material can be found easily there
are a couple of web sites, an alternative is an advert in the National press
I understand.

Over here, Easter Weekend is when the British National SF 
Convention (EasterCon) is - it's a holiday weekend so people are 
more likely to be off-work and able to attend for the full time of the 
convention without having to take extra taime off work.... I assume 
it's a similar situation for Costume Con.

I guess the families of English SF fans either get used to not seeing 
them at Easter or go to the convention themselves...

Teddy
(who will be missing EasterCon in order to be at Costume Con 
21... and Fandom is a far biggr "Family" groups than one's blood 
relations...)

But not much help when they won't let you take needles and pins 
either.... no pint in having something to cut your thread with if you 
don't have anything to sew with once it's cut.

Sorry to seem stupid, but where exactly does the bead go, and what is its function?

Not the sleeve heads ( don't think I have enough beads, and the sleeveheads
are actually knife pleated), but I'm using pearl beads on  a metallic black
brocade fabric, and I think it's going to be scrummy! The sleeves and
forepart are a burgundy brocade that's been sitting around waiting for the
perfect project, and I only had 3 1/2 yards (got it at a JoAnn's closing
sale) so I had to be careful with it!

I may go looking for just the right beads for the forepart and sleeves
later, but I want this for East Kingdom Coronation, which is in less than
two weeks, so it'll have to wait!

Morning guys,
      Now that I can find specific MoL publications
can anyone direct me to a  place that lists all their
publications so that I can browse?  I'd like a copy of
In Royal Fashion, the Princess Charlotte and Queen
Victoria exhibition catalog.  Mike T has suggested
seeing if I can find catalog for the London Bodies
exhibit.  Also, the MoL site doesn't seem to have a
secure server or a bookshop site so I can send them my
plastic to order books.  Plastic is so much easier as
I don't have access to an international bank and the
credit card people change the money for you.
     As to the yummy books recently listed on ebay
from tweedlebop...   Now I have to learn how to do
ebay :(
                               Cassandra (who is
beginning to really miss those pre-computer days when
researchers got kicked out of the library at midnight
so they could go home and sew)

Somebody here did this for an ItalianRen....the beads go on the outside
of the skirt, in the little "ditch" of each cartridge pleat. Looks very
nice when you're doing several rows of threads for the pleats, although
I dunno that I've ever seen anything documenting the historical-ness of
it.
Has the double effect of being nicely decorative *and* covering any bits
of the gathering threads that might be showing on the outside.

I didn't have any problem at all with my needles, and I'd pre-cut my
threads for my blackwork.  Packed my scissors into my checked luggage.
When planning for my trip, I got very contradictory advice from folks,
so I double-checked the airline websites (nothing), and then went
through my travel agent. Sewing needles aren't actually *on* the
verboten list one way or the other.  So, apparently, it's up to the
individual scanner/security person.  She recommended that I make it
obvious it was for embroidery (left the needle in the embroidery).  Size
may also have played a part...I usually prefer a size 24 or 26 tapestry
needle for blackwork.
None of the security (and it was pretty thorough, coming back into the
U.S. on 9/12 !)even mentioned my embroidery or my needles, although I
did have a steady stream of old ladies on the flight home, stopping on
their way up/down the aisle to ask me what I was making!
--sue, gearing up for her first day back at work.....*sigh*

When I bring the thread to the outside as I make each gathering stitch, I
add a bead. Its only function is cause it's pretty! Since I'm using 3 rosw
of stitching, in between each pleat will be these three tiny beads just
peeking out.

Oh, I see. Not really appropriate for an everyday middle-class skirt, then. I thought it must be some trick for making the pleats sit better.

It isn't period, that I know of, just pretty. The beads go between the 
pleats, strung on the threads that gather-in the cartridge pleats.

This is going to sound odd, but I made my own out of popscicle sticks. Drill
a hole in the middle of several sticks and bind them together at the top and
bottom (leaving a narrow space between each) with some thin wooden slats.
It works great, costs less than a purchase and, after a bit of use, looks a
lot like the original.

Probably not good for middle class, no. This is a wonderful black brocade I
got from my favorite eBay seller--it's some sort of acetate blend, so
historical accuracy is right out the window anyway, but oh, it's pretty.

Is anyone familiar with this stuff?

In the US _law_ doesn't differ a great deal--the limitations on "fair use" and
"educational use" are narrower than most people think.

Here also, the copyright holder has to sue to enforce their rights, if they
can't come to an out-of-court agreement. However, I have been told by lawyers
not to count on thinking "I'm a private individual, I don't have much money
anyway, so no one will bother suing me."  Someone who sues you can go after all
the value of your personal assets--your house, your car, your furniture, any and
all of your personal possessions.  The value of all this can add up to much more
than you might think.

It sounds lovely!

Are they real pearls? If so, think about using a man-made thread; 
real pearls are abrasive, and can wear their way through silk etc., 
or so I was told in a pearl-stringing class.

I may be finishing it in the car on the way there, but it'll be done!
Probably the only advantage to not knowing how to drive---I always hvae that
last little bit of time to finish a project while someone else drives!

Yes, well, but I do have to say that I think the suer would be a rather sad
individual then.

Anyway, back to the original issue, even for a University and for pure
educational use, the moment it is being put on the web, no matter if intranet
or internet, it becomes a very tricky business and must be persued with utmost
care. That reminds me, got to put a presentation together for my faculty on
that. *groans* To make it costume-list related, I usually get permission for
copies of illustrations and books and articles from libraries, but because it
is THEIR copy despite the fact that the material itself is 300 years old, I am
allowed to use it for research but have to sign that I only use it for that.

I didn't actually mean that, if you are a private individual profiting out

Yes if the courts think it is that much the copyright holder has lost, but
say you took 1 copy of a book worth $10, the max damage caused to the
copyrightholder is $10, which is not worth going to court for, in the
opinions on lawyers I've heard express an opinion here.

If however, you took 1000 copies of that book you would be liabal for the
monies lost plus possible damage to the company for , say, providing a poor
copy & hence damaging their good name.

Personally I prefer to own the real item where possible and am definatly
opposed to copyright theft

I think it depends on the point of view. The reason why copyright 
holders start going after even the "little guy" is because if they 
*don't* they may lose their rights even with the "big guys." It 
usually isn't a "money" thing but rather "I've got to nip this in the 
bud. I need to make sure that no one steals my property and the only 
way I see to do that is to go after this small group/person who is 
blatant."

You see, in court they may look at how many places you have allowed 
it to go on. If the court sees that it is plastered all over the Web 
and you've done nothing about it, then they are going to say "too 
bad. We have to treat this corporation the same way you treated all 
those others."

Generally it won't get to court with the "little guy". It is usually 
enough to write to them and ask them to remove the material or to 
make recompense for using your images in their newsletters. However, 
sometimes people ignore such a request. So the next step is to ask a 
lawyer to it for you. If they ignore that, then you go to court.

That's where "fair use" comes in. If someone is using it for their 
own personal use, it is not likely it would come to the attention of 
the owner. However, usually it is quite blatant (using it in a 
newsletter or on a web site) that gets you into trouble. 

Or if it can be shown that you are sharing it (additional copies) or 
otherwise depriving them of income (because they don't have to come 
to the source.)

Many self published books are *not* cheap. I recently got a 
legitimate copy of a book (which would not have degraded with 
photocopying because it was mostly text or simple diagrams) that cost 
me $70US. It would have cost me about $5US to copy. That's a pretty 
big jump, not the "$10" which one might think it was really worth.

> Personally I prefer to own the real item where possible and am

Amen to that! Back in the era when the University copycenter would 
photocopy entire books for someone (even if they didn't go to the 
University but had library privileges), I got several costume and 
textile books this way. But over the years it has been my "geas" to 
make sure that as soon as I could afford an original of the book (or 
find it in some cases), I would get the original. I don't have many 
of the photocopies left anymore. ;)

That's what I meant of course! 
I can't quite imagine how an individual manages to make 1000 copies and try to
sell them off, what crooked stupidity that would be.

Wheehee, we are back to the good old copyright discussion! May I take bets when
it starts getting out of hands?

nah, seriously, I am sure we all understand and respect copyright and thus
should stop here and now before we are back to the usual eruption on this very
same topic. It isn't even about historical costumes and I am sure there are
tons of emails (many not too pleasant) in the archives about this pet topic.

>Many self published books are *not* cheap. I recently got a
legitimate copy of a book (which would not have degraded with
photocopying because it was mostly text or simple diagrams) that cost
me $70US. It would have cost me about $5US to copy. That's a pretty
big jump, not the "$10" which one might think it was really worth.

Which is why electronic publishing should be used IMHO on really small runs.

>I could afford an original of the book (or
find it in some cases),

Which is where copyright gets a bit weird to me as once it is out of print
you are no longer depriving the copyright holder directly, esp if it will
NEVER be reprinted & the greater good is not them served. I'd be happy to
copy & send a fee to the holder myself then everyone is happy

I wondered if anyone here knows (though perhaps I should ask on a vintage
list?) I got all the missing original bits from the nice curator (re-enactor
too :-) of the Red Cross museum for my 1950s nurse uniform and am ready to go,
so to speak, but would like to get everything together including the proper
underwear and stockings. I don't have a clue what women wore in the 1950s, does
anyone know of a place to find out or ask? I had a look on the net but couldn't
find much.
Thanks!

Nicole

I'm extremely fond of the German plastic boning.  I've gotten mine from
Farthingales in Canada.  Talk to the owner Linda Sparks and ask her about
Wissner.  I think she carriers another brand because she thinks it's better.
I certainly like the stuff she sells.

In the US, at least, the amount that can be sued for is seldom as low as the
unit cost of the book or other work.  The amount counts potential sales lost due
to unauthorized distribution of the work, and this applies whether the
unauthorized person is charging for it or not.  If you post a $10 book on the
web without permission, the amount lost to the author and publisher would be far
in excess of $10.  The person suing also usually tries to get the court to award
them the legal costs for the suit (that is, the loser pays legal expenses, court
costs, etc, for the winner).

See above.   The legal issue here is not stealing physical copies of the book,
it's interfering with the publisher's potential sales of same.  The issue is
intellectual property, not physical property,

Costs for an elaborate  print book such as most costume books run into tens of
thousands of dollars _per book_.  They are by no means limited to what is paid
to the printer. They include royalties or other payments to the author and any
illustrators; editing; indexing; scanning or other rendering of the
illustrations for production; book and cover design; page layout; proofreading;
equipment such as computers, laser printers, and scanners; office rent;
warehouse rent; publicity; marketing; and miscellaneous fees for proofs,
copyright registration, etc.  All these are very real and necessary costs.

And most of them, BTW, pertain to electronic books as well as print books.

The problem with e-books (at least currently)  is that there's no market for
them (most readers don't really want them), no distribution system (most
retailers don't want them), and no respect for them (most reviewers won't review
them).   They're not cheap to publish if they don't sell.  Many publishers would
love to switch to producing e-books; but various publishers' attempts to do so
have been far from encouraging.

Much the same problems currently apply to print on demand.  Print on demand has
a significantly higher unit cost than offset printing (therefore higher cover
prices are charged to the consumer), and the quality is lower. And since it
actually takes a long time to get the books ("on demand" is a misnomer), most
retailers refuse to carry POD books.

You will never know if the work will _NEVER_ be reprinted.  In many cases it is,
it's just not around when you are looking for it.  The greater good is served
when the work goes into the public domain.  Before that, it is the copyright
holder's privilege to hold a monopoly on producing/copying it and benefit from
that as they are able.

As for copying and sending a fee, that is a request you can always make of the
copyright holder.

Most Internet service provider agreements stipulate that the user not
violate copyright.  I've been told by several people who did this that, if
the web site owner refuses to remove the material,  you can usually  get
their ISP to block access to their page until they do.

I won't reveal their locations, but there are several electronic arenas where
people upload entire copyrighted books in electronic format, without
permission.  Like, several books are uploaded to each arena  _every day_ (each
in a whole bunch of files, per chapter or whatever).  Also magazines, comics,
and other printed matter.

People go to some trouble to conceal their real IDs (they know this is illegal),
and post from anonymous email services.  They justify this by asserting that
authors and artists don't deserve to get paid. Really.

May I brag?  We have today finished a new pair of hose for himself 
(banded hose for Hastings) - and our season isn't even over yet!  And 
I've done all the mending and started on the new kit too.

Bets on this industriousness lasting out September?

Hate to admit I'm old enough to remember, at least to remember what my
mother wore, although she wasn't a nurse.  Girdles, girdles, girdles!  And
they were made of rubber with little holes in them and no crotch, so she
wore panties under them.  Stockings, not panty hose.  And those cone shaped
bras.

Subject: [h-cost] 1950s underwear?

I wondered if anyone here knows (though perhaps I should ask on a
vintage
list?) I got all the missing original bits from the nice curator
(re-enactor
too :-) of the Red Cross museum for my 1950s nurse uniform and am ready
to go,
so to speak, but would like to get everything together including the
proper
underwear and stockings. I don't have a clue what women wore in the
1950s, does
anyone know of a place to find out or ask? I had a look on the net but
couldn't
find much.
Thanks!

        Ok kiddies, this old lady was adult and working (not as a nurse)
in the fifties.  Actually, I was a Grey Lady, does that count?  Anyhow
underwear was much the same as now except that the bras were pretty
pointy, but you could get some that weren't.  Full slips were in fashion,
but if you didn't need coverage on top, a half slip was acceptable (as
when you were wearing a vest or jacket over a blouse).  Not everyone wore
girdles.  I did own a panty girdle, but rarely wore it.  I had a garter
belt to hold up my stockings.  Stockings were nylon with seams up the
back.  Nurses wore the white nylons with seams up the back.  They did
make your legs look great but were a major nuisance as they didn't always
stay straight.

Shocking!!! *laughs*
Okay, so I am still working on roll hemming His Nib's new fine linen cravat.
Thanks to kat I know how to roll hem now, but Kat, I am still slow and I still
don't like it. ;-)

Okay.... a packet of German chokki biccies that it doesn't?

If you have time to go to a library, look at a Sears catalogue from the year
you're recreating.  They always had pages and pages of underwear.

In America anyway: separate stockings (with seams) and either a garter belt 
or garters on a girdle, waist-high underpants, and a very solid bra.  In 
the 1950s, my grandmother who was born in 1880 (she was 70 in 1950) still 
wore a 1930s-ish corset-thing consisting of bra and girdle in one 
piece.  You could still get these from like a Sears catalog.  I never saw 
my mother (she was 26 in 1950) wear a girdle, and she didn't wear stockings 
a lot in 1950, preferring bobby sox (ankle-high) and Oxfords.  She 
graduated from college, with my GI-Bill father, in 1949.

A friend of mine flew from Texas to Maine in August and she was able to get 
sewing needles on her flight. She put two or three of them into the lining 
of her wallet and put the hem into two sleeves while on the plane - no 
problem. Similarly, my mother talked to someone when she was on a trip to 
St. Louis who said she takes knitting needles on her trip - she specified 
the particular brand, but my mother and I are speculating the plastic 
(nylon) needles would pass through security.

(who has carried syringes on flights and not once has it been questioned.)

Well, maybe not a flaw, but definately a complication.
To recap, I want to make a gathered kirtle out of linen, to be worn under a loose gown made out of wool.
Then, last month, just as I was preparing to draft the patterns...I found out that I am pregnant.  Now I'm quite happy about the pregnancy but it does rather complicate matters wrt the sewing :)

Since at nine weeks I'm already starting to show, I figure that I'm going to get pretty huge, and I want this to be a outfit that I can wear for most of my pregnancy.

My plan right now is to do the following.  I will add several inches (I'm thinking around 4) to all of the seams of the kirtle  I will then sew all of the seams 3 times, so that as I expand the kirtle can expand with me.  I will do the same thing to the gown.  
However, I'm not quite sure if this will be enough room for expansion, or for that matter if I am underestimating the ability of a kirtle and/or a gown to expand.

thanks,
Katie

They let me on with sewing needles a couple of weekends ago -- I did have to 
put my pointed embroidery scissors in my checked bag, however. I continued to 
embroider though - I cut a couple of lengths of floss before packing my 
scissors, and just used them on the flight. 

Of course this was in the US - your experience in GB may be different....

Hi, All. Nicole, there are a number of reenactment units out there doing WWII, and
I don't think the Korean era stuff was that different. Since the Red Cross is a
civilian entity, I would assume that the stuff worn underneath was civilian. I seem
to remember one of the photo-illustrated books on reenactment stuff (Brassey's or
the Color Photograph series) that had pictures of Women's uniforms, etc. You could
probably search old catalogs for images of 50s underthings. Here in the US we had
Sears and Montgomery Ward as two large catalog companies with illustrated catalogs.
I don't know if Britain had an equivalent at the time. Good Luck, Mike T.

This has been quite fun, as recently people have been asking how to get
their hair to grow long. And a lot of the myths in this article *still*
pursist:

"If the hair is wayward, much may be done by persistent brushing to train it
in the desired direction."
Sorry, but hair grows from the root *under* the skin.. you're more likey to
break the hair with the force needed to alter the direction of the root;)
(you can change the shape of a bone in 7 years don't know about other
tissues... ) and any straightening you get will be undone as soon as the
hair gets wet again.

"The hair should not be washed or shampooed oftener than once a month,
unless it is expose to much dust; but it should be loosely arranged for an
hour or two everyday to allow a free circulation of air to the roots."
There is no right or wrong amount of washing or cleaning hair needs.
Everyone has different properties of hair.. and it can change over a
lifetime anyway. I used to need to wash mine every two days due to over
active oil production (and that affected my face as well, so it wasn't
because I stripped the oils away). Now it's every 4 days or so. I don't
count any more. I suppose it could be in the interests of scientific
research;)

And the quote mimics very stronly what was in the hair care article of my
Girls Own Annual.. which I belive you link to somewhere Penny?
http://frazzledfrau.tripod.com/titanic it's there somewhere...


"Nature knows what she is about, and, unless thwarted by our own or our
ancestor's misconduct, provides us with hair that harmonizes with our
complexion, features and age"
Whoa.. what are they trying to say here? *Misconduct??? And nature doesn't
play by our aesthetics.. some complextions and hair colour do tend to go
hand in hand due to gentic and environmental factors.. but it's not because
they look good;)

"We are told by some authorities that if the divided ends of the hair are
singed off instead of cut, the growth will become more vigorous and
abundant; while others declare that heat appIied even at the tips of the
tresses is a serious detriment, because it wounds, shocks and, perhaps,
mortally injures the hair. "
Well what ever you do to the ends has absolutely no effect on growth of
hair. It's a shaft of non living protein (though if it was living it
wouldn't necessarily hurt to cut as suggested elsewhere, you need nerve
cells to feel pain). It's just going to affect the ends.

Most of the rest is pretty sound advice, massaging does help, not keeping
hair in tight styles will stop you from breaking the hair, and pulling it
from the roots (happens a lot in those braided extensions). Even pulling
hair fromt he root though won't actually stop the hair from growing, it'll
just take a long time to get grow a hair back to the normal length;)

It's been very fun reading this in light on my own recent reading on hair
myths and facts:)

Oddly enough, I have a *whole* bunch of wool yarn that did something
similar after it was mordanted and dyed.  It started life as a 2-ply,
off-white wool yarn about the thickness of your average modern crewel
wool.  After its first immersion in hot water, one of the plies shrank
enormously (30%?), and the other stayed the same.  Further immersion in
hot water/dye baths did not alter this.  It looks very...peculiar, as if
one of the plies were much more tightly spun than the other (not at all
noticeable in the original state).
Because of my travels, I haven't yet had a chance to go back to the
store where I purchased the yarn, and ask if this is a deliberate
effect.  I'd intended to use it for embroidery, but it doesn't look like
it'd work for what I want, now.  I may try to knit up a bit to see what
I get.  I may also buy a bit more of it, knit that, and then wash it to
see what happens.

Are you referring to the plastic whalebone or the German Plastic boning?  If
it is the german plastic stuff that looks a bit like rigilene, how does it
compare to steel bones?  What width did you use?  What do you all recommend,
as laying out $100 for boning I've never seen is a bit much?

I'm extremely fond of the German plastic boning.  I've gotten mine from
Farthingales in Canada.  Talk to the owner Linda Sparks and ask her about
Wissner.  I think she carriers another brand because she thinks it's better.
I certainly like the stuff she sells.

Michaela,

I just won two auctions, one is about personal care for 1911, including hair
care, and another book from a hairdressers school for 1934.  I can't wait to
read them and see if there is a change in attitude.

The things I found funny in the article was the concern for baldness in men
and women, and dandruff.  I thought, well washing your hair in borax might
make your hair thinner!

I'm frantically sewing some tunics (Herjolfernes based) for an event 
in a couple of weeks, but my Irish-Brit husband would appreciate an 
Irish option, I think. I remember there was an excellent article in 
Tournaments Illuminated several years ago on a more-authentic leine, 
and I carefully set that issue aside because I wanted to make one for 
him- and have never seen it since. (And yes, I've cleaned the house 
in the meantime! )

Does anyone know if there's a copy of that article online somewhere? 
IIRC, the author was hoping at one point to put it up...

Thanks in advance,
Amanda

>Costs for an elaborate  print book such as most costume books run into tens
of
thousands of dollars _per book_.

I know this I used to be in prining :)

However 1 copy does not directly cost 1000s . Not court in the Uk (I hope)
would ever set all pre production cost etc on someone pirating a single copy
it would be unjust.

And yes in more elabortate cases of books e copies are as expensive. But not
in acedemic reports such as archaeological digs etc, the print costs push
the work into the unaffordable by many, wheras the CD & print off your own
as you desired would be . The work has to be done either way in most cases
under the remit of the acedemic institute funding or more commonlyt here
these days the developer.

>The problem with e-books (at least currently)  is that there's no market
for
them (most readers don't really want them), no distribution system (most
retailers don't want them), and no respect for them (most reviewers won't
review
them).   They're not cheap to publish if they don't sell.  Many publishers
would
love to switch to producing e-books; but various publishers' attempts to do
so
have been far from encouraging.

Yes most people prefer the tactile experiance of a real book I agree. I'm
talking more of specilised stuff, that won't get to a large audience any
other way. See above. Pre production is about the same agreed, but a CD even
on a short run is less that $1, no book can be printed for that unless in
really big quantities.

>Much the same problems currently apply to print on demand.  Print on demand
has
a significantly higher unit cost than offset printing (therefore higher
cover
prices are charged to the consumer), and the quality is lower.

Shouldn't do print on demand here is very high quality & fast & cheaper than
offset. Many acedemic reports are going that way here.

>You will never know if the work will _NEVER_ be reprinted.  In many cases
it is,
it's just not around when you are looking for it.

No there are 99% of printed books ever printed, are out of print, most of
these will catagorically never be printed again. Ok maybe I can't guess
which maybe. But in the meantime it is the person hungry for knowledge that
suffers, most of the authors are long dead & don't care.

>As for copying and sending a fee, that is a request you can always make of
the
copyright holder.

Assuming you can find them or their offspring, which is by no means easy.

>In the US, at least, the amount that can be sued for is seldom as low as
the
unit cost of the book or other work.  The amount counts potential sales lost
due
to unauthorized distribution of the work, and this applies whether the
unauthorized person is charging for it or not.  If you post a $10 book on
the
web without permission, the amount lost to the author and publisher would be
far
in excess of $10.

See what I said later. I though I had stated that the $10 scenario refered
to a person doing 1 copy for their own use. I then went on to say if you
were selling commerically the situation differed.

First of all congratulations!
second, I have NO experience with being pregnant, so caveat emptor here.
Third, did you see the wonderful Ropa that one of the ladies from I think
Bristol fair made? I think she is on Margo's patern list, and she looked SUPERB
in it when she went to the fair TWO weeks before she was due. I am just
wondering, perhaps of you went for something completely different this time,
for a ropa, then you wouldn't have to worry, and just make the kirtle gown
after the baby is born?

That's the one - it's amazing how having the entire off-season to 
get somethign done can suddenly transmogrify into an all-nighter 
just before you need it ready to wear!

Translating into British terminology:
Garter belt = suspender belt
Underpants = knickers (they were usually cotton with elastic threaded through a casing at the waist, which occasionally broke, resulting in jokes about women's knickers falling down.)

I was a child in the 50s. My mother didn't wear a girdle either, being as skinny as I am now, or even a bra most of the time; just a vest (?undershirt to Americans) of knitted cotton or fine wool.

Lalah mentioned white nylons; I think British nurses traditionally wore black stockings.

You mentioned a book Mel that you bought at 70us but
could have photocopied at 5us as an example of your
principles of owning the original.  We get into
copoyright with original variations on public domain
quilt patterns too.  I'm hoping to get some of
tweedlebops ebay books as I want them but they're out
of print for the most part and I hate to copy or scan,
 my last resort for particularly yummy photos.

Hello
I've just been fliping through what I think is the BEST beginers book for 
tudor clothes (actually thats its name 'Tudor Clothes') Its aimed at school 
productions. It hase really simple and clear instructions along with grided 
patterns in two sizes (for children). But what I didn't notice untill 
recently was that it is written by Suzi Clarke, who I believe is on this 
list. If so: Great book!

Hello List Fellows,


Who can recall examples of military uniforms used in ceremonies designed 
upon historical patterns (like Ren. of Swiss Guard in Vatican), or folk 
costumes (like Greek guards od honour)?

Also, who can count some among contemporary uses of historical or folk 
dresses in dynastic ceremonies? Among postcards in Sweden there is always a 
set of King's and Queen's photos wearing folk costume. There was a fine 
newspiece example cited here at the List following last Christmas gathering 
in Helsinki, when Prime Minister (a lady) showed up in an archaeological 
replica.

Anyone wants to bet for score bigger than 20/20 of each use?

I forwarded the various messages on book recommendations to Janet from 
medievalbooks.com.  She send me the forwarded reply.  
She is trying to fond costuming books in other languages (other than English) 
to have translated and published. If anyone on this list knows of any good 
costuming books in other languages (other than English) or some in English 
that should be reprinted, please let her know.  She is working with various 
publishers to get this done.
Thanks

Dear Elizabeth,

Thanks for the forwards from Hcostume.  The first series they were talking a=

.  However, for at least the last 6 books, Gail Frazer has been writing them=
 by herself.  If you want to send this as a reply with my name on it, go ahe=
ad.

I could get Women's Dress in the Ancient Greek World, but I thought it reall=

Oh, I had a *great* trip....and having dinner with you and Tom was
certainly one of the high points! It's great to have a "voice" to go
with the words on my screen, although your personality was just about
spot-on with how you come across on the list! ;-)

All right, now, you guys....I've never *been* to a Costume Con....Are
they worth going to? What happens at one? Dish, please!
--sue, who thinks it conflicts with a Kingdom (SCA) event, but who'd
like to (maybe) come anyway, if she can afford it

Well, the Yeomen of the Guard (at the Tower of London) wear a Tudor-style uniform, and the King's Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery (who fire horse-drawn guns for ceremonial salutes) wear a uniform resembling the styles of the Napoleonic era.

I've never been to one, despite having been in the same city as them (or
very close) at least three times now. So I'd love feedback too. I didn't
go to them in past because I only heard about them from fantasy or
theatrical costumers, and figured I couldn't spare the time and money just
for that. But now I understand there will be (1) significant historical
costuming content, and (2) Teddy.

Are you referring to the plastic whalebone or the German Plastic boning?  If
it is the German plastic stuff that looks a bit like Rigilene, how does it
compare to steel bones?  What width did you use?  What do you all recommend,
as laying out $100 for boning I've never seen is a bit much?
-Megan





Megan

I have experimented with several kinds of plastic whalebone in
mid-nineteenth-century corsets and bodices.

I personally prefer the "German plastic" over the "plastic whalebone" (these
are Farthingales terms) because it's slightly thinner, more flexible and
easier to cut.  It just "feels" more like real whalebone to me. But the
plastic whalebone is fine, too. The "German" looks like Rigilene in the
picture, but it isn't at all.  Rigilene is sort-of like plastic fish line
woven into a fabric tape. (I use it for quick corset mock-ups because you
can stitch right through it and get instant results.) The ridges you see in
the plastic boning  are deeply incased in plastic - they don't even feel
bumpy, though I assume they're essential to the structure of the stuff.  The
"plastic whalebone" has no ridges at all - it's just milky white plastic.

For me, the 11 mm is the basic size for a corset (I'm talking about c.
1860's).  I love the tiny 5 mm to use at the very CB - outside the lacing
eyelets.  I use it in bodices for the same purpose.  For general boning in a
bodice you might want to try 7mm.

Cut the plastic boning to the proper length.  Round the ends so the tips
won't cut through the tape. Slip the boning into the casings. The plastic
boning has a natural curl from having been coiled.  It isn't necessary to
try to steam the boning flat. Just be sure the bones curve out from the body
like parenthesis. When the bodice is laced, it will hug the torso.

Why would you lay out $100, by the way?  This boning is sold by the meter.
In fact, Farthingales will send you a sample of every size and type.

Martha

PS  I'm not a secret agent for Farthingales - really!  In fact, I'm sure
that Greenberg & Hammer also carries the German plastic and they're nice to
deal with, too.  They just don't have a web site.

I attended one in Philly more on a whim than anything else. There was 
indeed a lot of fantasy stuff. There was a good deal of theatre 
stuff. But there was also a huge amount of historical stuff. There 
was a theme but I don't remember what it actually was. There was a 
lot of Victorian and 1830's era things. There were accessories, 
books,  etc. for sale. There were talks about a large variety of 
subjects. Some only on how a group of people made this or that 
costume tat was later in the costume show. I took one on mask making. 
I also took one that the lady who runs AlterYears held. It had to do 
with getting into the business of costuming, all aspects. That was 
informative for me. there were indeed classes on historical subjects. 
The costume/fashion show (can't remember what they called it) was 
fun, a mix of the sci-fi con style with 1-minute presentations and a 
real historical fashion show. I remember one gal who made a near 
perfect Victorian outfit for walking out. She was in the Novice 
category. People kept remarking on how she isn't allowed to be a 
Novice any more. And the winners were a group who did a spoof on the 
Three Musketeers called the Three Mouseketeers. The outfits were 
really nice doublets with these incredibly made, overly large 
mask/headpieces to depict the mousketeers, Deertanian and of course 
the Cardinal.

I'd say it's a mix of both historical and fantasy. As an aspiring 
professional I felt it worth it. As a current professional, I may try 
to swing it as the most recent have been way to far away for me to 
even consider. Your presence would be very welcome.

Dear Megan.
I dont think many of you over at the other side of the big pond know much
about boning from Wissner.
Therefore:
It is the nearest you can get from real whalebone. I used it when i made
Kipars blue Baroque dress from 1660 with the silver lace. The boning comes
in rolls with 30 meters in each roll. You can meassure how long your boning
is to be, and then cut from the roll. You dont get any of these small spare
bones, wich you never can use for anything resonable, so you dont loose a
bit. The boning i got was the narrowest they had and it is 12 m.m. wide. You
cant cut it with ordinary scissors, you must have a real tool to cut. But
the best part of it is that you can use this cutter and cut off the points
in the corners so that your bone gets round in each end, and you dont have
to use sandpaper because it wont get sharp. When you have cut the edges
round they are ready to go into the casings in the corset. It has spared me
a lot of time.
Compared to steel bones, they are very good and very strong. They are
bendable, so that you can shape the bones to your liking.
So if there are some over there who sells Wissners boning you should really
get it a try, I baught 200 meters, the smallest amount you can buy directly
from the factory, so i have a lot of it still.
The reason why i have not used it so much, is that i mostly make 18th.
century stays, and the bones in these stays has to be very narrow, and then
Wissners bones are two broad.
Wissner also makes crinoline steel. Very good. It is steel covered with
white plastic. I have used it very succesfully for paniers, even the large
paniers (2 meter wide)

The material being referred to is commonly known in the US and Canada as
"Plastic Whalebone" it is the plastic boning from Wissner in Germany that
both  my company, Grannd Garb in the US, and Farthingales in Canada carry.
My comparisons to some real whalebone have lead me to believe it to be one
of the closest materials to replicating the period look of garments made
with whalebone but each person who has compared them has their own opinion
and preferences.

The "German Plastic Boning" is something different that only Farthingales
carries. It acts similar to rigelene/multitex as far as having thinner areas
that can be sewn through, but also acts similar to some thickness of solid
plastic bonings (both of which we carry).

They are all totally different materials and are each best suited to
different uses.

My 2 cents.

E-books and print on demand are both ways to produce small numbers of books,
when needed, thereby making it easier to publish books for a possibly small
market and reducing warehouse costs.  However, I don't expect e-books to become
a dominant format, at least not without better screen resolution and significant
changes in readers' habits.  Academic reports can have a highly targeted
audience and be pretty much mandatory reading for it. Readers will probably put
up with whatever format the report is in even if they dislike it.  I think
reference works such as dictionaries are ideal for electronic format because you
must search them, and don't actually _read_ them.  But otherwise . . . .CD books
were touted as the coming thing some years before e-books were, but CD books
have been a flop on the market.

I do expect print on demand to eventually become far more popular.  I also
expect it to induce publishers to reprint many more out-of-print books. In fact,
it's not unlikely that even books with a rather large initial audience will
initially be printed offset. Then the publisher will switch to POD after the
initial print run has been sold,  if demand has dropped, rather than putting the
book out of print  But that day isn't here yet. I don't know what kind of POD
equipment they use in the UK.  But in the US POD is laser printer quality, in a
very limited range of book sizes, on a very limited selection of paper, with a
not very durable or attractive binding--all for a higher unit cost than an
offset print run.  And since most printers don't yet have POD equipment, the POD
printers get enough business that most deliver more slowly than an offset
printer.

I'll switch to POD myself when the equipment and prices are as good as for
offset printing--but I think that will be a few years.

I think we've agreed though, that copyright violation is theft and that these
are not valid reasons for someone to make an illegal copy.  The reader's need or
desire does not outweigh the rights of the copyright owner.  A lot of people
making their own copies does incrementally cut into sales, or, if the work is
out of print, the value of reprinting it.

Hhhhmmm. Not so sure if I agree with this when it
comes to out-of-print books. It seems to me that an
excess of copies being passed around is a sure sign
that a book is woefully needed on the market. A
re-issue would gladly be snapped up by almost all of
the copy-havers, in addition to a nameless mass of
folks who don't even yet have copies but will take the
path of least resistence once they know the book is
available again for a reasonable price.

For instance, I have much-used and previously-copied
copies of books like Margaret Scott's _Late Gothic
Europe: 1400-1500_ and a portion of Poul Norlund's
Buried Norseman work, but I would replace them in a
heartbeat with the real thing, if I could get a clean
book version at a reasonable price. I also gladly
spent two hours and $70 to copy _A Pictorial History
of Embroidery_, color plates included, because that
$300-$400 price tag is just out of my budget range for
such things. If the book were re-issued for $100,
brand-new, I'd make it happen and save my copied
version as a set of handy one-offs to show others as
needed.

Congratulations Katie,
       I went to a Pennsic during the morning sick
phase of my first pregnancy, two weeks after the "I
looked fine in my garb and then overnight got huge
phase" so I didn't have time to sew alot.   A ropa is
a good idea as is a houppelande.   If you check out
the research on the Shinrone gown, the author (name
escapes me at the moment) points out that the gown has
some removeable darts sewn in and that if you take the
darts out then the gown only hangs correctly on a
pregnant woman.  Given that yearly babies were a
reality even up to my grandmother's time you might
consider making your gown for the last trimester and
then basting in darts to fit your current size.  If
you take the darts out before washing your gown it
shouldn't mark the fabric much (wool is very forgiving
that way).  Or try taking in the side seams and/or
using several shallow darts, releasing one on either
side as you get bigger.  I had 3 kids in under three
years (1 newborn, one 10 month old and a 2 year old at
one time) so got really good at fudging the fit on my
garb.
     As to the copyright discussion... Most of my
quilt instruction and pattern manuals explicitly state
that I can make a garment or design from their pages
as long as it is not for resale.  So if I make a
quilted or appliqued garment I can give it away but
not sell it.  What about the copying of something like
chapter 6 of Buried Norsemen?   Or if I copy select
bits of a book so I can work on a gown for myself?  I
printed out a copu of the Helena Snakenborg portrait
so I could take it to work and try sketching the roses
on the shift.  I don't make things for resale and I
would dearly love to own my own copy of many books but
getting one, even used, is often problematical.  Has
anyone ever seen a copy of Fabric of Society by Tozer
and Levitt for sale somewhere?  As far as I can tell
it was an exhibition book printed in 1983 and it has
some really great photos from the costume museum at
Bath, great for my current  museum project but,but
,but
the library where I usually check it out has pulled
their copy because it was falling apart.  They won't
repair it because it's not a high use item and they
won't sell me the damaged copy.  Now I have to
interlibrary loan it from the local university. 
Extreme hassle when I just need access to one chapter.
I understand the theft angle (husband collects rare
books) but the difficulty in getting information
sometimes just drives me nuts, especially when I know
the info is out there.
     And now back to the Elizabethan shift....What
type of drawn thread work is period.  My linen
remnants aren't long enough unless I piece them
together and Fashion in Detail shows a shirt with a
separate shoulder piece,  which is almost exactly
where I need to piece.  Help?
                        Cassandra (grumpy because sick
child is keeping her home from the museum today)

If there many illegal copies, this has weakened the market and the
publisher is less likely to reprint. Many people _won't_ bother
replacing their photocopy with "the real thing."

The price of the book being too high for you does not mean the price
is unreasonable.  More to the point, it does not make copying legal.

Another garb idea: Russian sarafans.  I wear them all the time now
because they're comfy, and I've loaned them out to 8.5 month pregnant
women.  The dress is full, and hangs from the shoulders.

Please can I make an impassioned plea??

Echoing what someone said yesterday and at the risk of being thought
rude..may I respectfully suggest that this discussion now has very little
relevance to costuming etc etc?  Can we move on, or move
off-line..please...my in- box is clogged enough!!

Regards

Helen

I'll second that congrats!

My baby was born near;ly 7 months ago and I still vividly remember trying to
squeeeeeze into stays/bodies at 9 weeks, too!  I can't give any advice (out
of my period) other than make it biiggg!  If you're going to feed your baby
yourself, then make allowances for any upper garments, too, for after the
birth.  Although I've lost loads of weight, it still hasn't come off my
rather "ample"  bosom  ;-0 You could of course be very different, but it's
something to bear in mind for afterwards..it's not like you can pop to the
local shops to buy "off-the-peg"!

Good luck

Helen

I've been to 2,  about 10 years ago.   I stopped going because I didn't
really know anyone to talk to, and that got lonely.
   But some of the skits were hilarious - the one where the bad guy tried to
rip the bodice off of someone, which of course didn't just rip off,  and he
bounced off a hoop skirt,  etc, etc,  until he finally went and got  a chain
saw and chased her off the stage,  that was a classic send-off on all
"bodice ripper" novels!
    It wasn't easy to talk to anyone for more than a couple of minutes
though - everyone was busy with their own groups of friends.

I'm still trying to determine if the plastic boning I got from Endsdown
Enterprises is the same as the boning some of you are describing as German
plastic boning or Wissner plastic boning.  I've tried calling Endsdown and
no one answers the phone, so maybe they went out of business.

I looked more carefully at the samples they sent me and their boning
consists of a piece of plastic that is folded over twice.  It's white, quite
narrow and very flexible.  Does anyone know what this is?

Just a postscript to this conversation.

Fran summed up much of this conversation accurately as follows:

> I think we've agreed though, that copyright violation is theft and
> that these are not valid reasons for someone to make an illegal copy.  
> The reader's need or desire does not outweigh the rights of the
> copyright owner.  A lot of people making their own copies does
> incrementally cut into sales, or, if the work is out of print, the
> value of reprinting it.

Since all the conversation so far has focused on books that have already
been printed, and the monetary value thereof based on sales, I did want to
point out that copyright also covers material put into writing that has
*not* been printed.

I have research that is not yet formally published. Right now, there's one
appendix and two book chapters for books still in various stages of
editing/production. I also have a proposal sitting on a journal
publisher's desk. And more that I hope to write up at some time. I will
not make any money off any of these publications when they appear, but I
will be making a contribution to the literature. As an independent scholar
whose foothold in academia is precarious as it is, this is very important
to me and to my credibility.

In the meantime, though, I present much of this material in lecture
format, both at academic conferences and at guest lectures and workshops.
My handouts all have a line on them reminding people that I own the
copyright and the handouts are not to be copied and reprinted without my
direct permission.

If someone webbed my handouts, or if someone tape-recorded one of my
lectures, transcribed it, and published it, I wouldn't exactly be losing
sales, because there's nothing to be sold. But it could ruin my chances
for publishing the material in a peer-reviewed journal. Journals won't
take something that has already been published -- regardless of who
published it or whether they had the authority to do so.

Some well-meaning people, oddly, have interpreted my efforts to maintain
control over my work as meaning that I don't want it to be cited. People
have even assumed they can reproduce some of my work in their contest
documentation, class handouts, or SCA newsletters as long as they *don't*
mention my name, because "Robin doesn't want it published"! No no no no
no. It's fine to use what I've taught, but for heaven's sake, credit me
with the work I've spent years doing! (I'm happy to supply citation
information for people who aren't sure how to do this correctly.)

I'm sorry to say that I periodically run into an article written by a
student of mine, describing in close detail methods I taught that person
in a class or workshop, at some points with the same words I used at the
time, but with no reference at all to the fact that those ideas and
methods originated with me. Those ideas, then, become associated with the
person who published the articles, who is assumed to be the originator.
That causes damage to me -- measured not in dollars, but in reputation and
credibility.

So copyright is very, very important to me, even without a monetary
factor. What's at stake is my ability to control the distribution of my
work, and also my ability to ensure that my name remains associated with
my work.

I'm happy to share my findings and happy to see them used. But I do
understand why some academics will not lecture to SCA or other hobbyist
groups, or why some will not even respond to questions from individuals.
If I find that the degree of unauthorized "lifting" becomes intolerable, I
would have to do the same. I sincerely hope this does not happen. Which is
why I do my best to educate my audiences about what that copyright notice
means, and why it's there.

Obviously, you didn't grow up in California ;)  I was never thin, but never 
wore a girdle in all of the 50s-60s.  I had an aunt who would have made me 
wear one if, indeed, everybody was wearing them (the maiden-aunt full of 
child-raising advice).  But she stopped wearing them in the 50s, I think.

Can anyone think of a British regiment whose dress uniform reflects 
actual day-to-day garments later than 1900?  (I'm talking Army here, RAF 
and women don't count, and the Royal Navy has mostly updated).

Tell you what, you can owe them to me for Kirby Hall next year if I turn 
up with my green dress embroidered at hem, cuffs and neck.  I have 
measured the lengths, I have the cloth sitting on the table to cut the 
strips... I HATE embroidery, and I've never yet finished anything!  This 
is the real challenge for the winter.  How many other garments will I 
make to avoid doing embroidery?

I had written a long response, but got disconnected as it
was sending, and so was lost :-(  Let me try again.

Each CostumeCon may have a theme, but that's mostly so that
there is some direction for the Friday Night Social.

The International Costumers Guild encourages costuming in
all its forms.  There is programming ranging from detailed
historical topics to "How to Make a Mascot Outfit", "How to
Move in a Costume", or "How to Make a Prop Gun Out of
Junk".

There are 2 masquerades.  Think of them as 1 minute
performance art, showing the costume(s) choreographed to
music or words.  There are presentation judges out front,
and a workmanship judge backstage.  Our belief is that
excellence deserves reward, so there are awards for all
costumes the judges think are particularly well-shown or
well-constructed.  Separate competitions are held for
science fiction/fantasy costumes and historical ones, plus
a fashion show based on "Future Fashion" designs (a folio
competition held prior to the con).

Please check out www.costume-con.org for information on
upcoming conventions and pictures of past costumes.  In
response to an earlier post, here is a picture of the Three
Mooseketeers:
http://www.costume-con.org/CClink/CC17-Photos/SF24.shtml

They actually competed in the fantasy masquerade; although
they won some awards, Best in Show went to this Minotaur:
http://www.costume-con.org/CClink/CC17-Photos/SF23.shtml

The novice Historical costumer mentioned had this outfit:
http://www.costume-con.org/CClink/CC17-Photos/H07.shtml

Since she competes at a higher level in SF/fantasy, it
could be argued she should have started at Journeyman
anyway.  Best in Show for Historical was this (hang on,
this is a little longwinded)recreation of an 19th century
interpretation of a Turkish harem girl's outfit:
http://www.costume-con.org/CClink/CC17-Photos/H06.shtml

Please look around the site.  The range of costumes is
amazing.  I think there should be more exchanges of
information amongst various costuming groups; we each have
so much to offer, yet so often we stay within our own
little circle.

>>>>>And now back to the Elizabethan shift....What
type of drawn thread work is period.  My linen
remnants aren't long enough unless I piece them
together and Fashion in Detail shows a shirt with a
separate shoulder piece,  which is almost exactly
where I need to piece.  Help?
                        Cassandra (grumpy because sick
child is keeping her home from the museum today)



Drawnwork - I'm going to blather inanely at you, because my books I need 
to specifically reference are all at home.  ;<


"Known to England by the fifties, drawn-work was used for smocks, ruffs, 
rails, and other neckwear, besides such household as cushion-cloths of the 
kind which Bianca of "Women Beware Women" desires for the furnishing of 
her chamber." Linthicum p140

I define drawnwork as the needlework technique in which you withdraw 
either warp or weft threads, reweaving a small section at each end to 
strengthen the edges, and then catch together the remaining threads in a 
decorative fashion.  Hemstitching is a variation of drawnwork, in which 
only a couple of threads (usually weft) are withdrawn near an edge, and 
the process of catching the warp threads includes sewing down a rolled 
hem.

One of the techniques used in period to connect two pieces of fabric is 
"plaited insertion stitch."    (It is also called in various incarnations 
- interlace insertion stitch, faggoting, and braided insertion stitch.) 
For a very simplistic version, look under faggoting in the stitch glossary 
at:
http://www.classicstitches.com/know_how/index.cfm 
Plaited insertion stitch is one of the stitches used in that Italian style 
shirt in _Fashion in Detail_.  It's the one that gives the braided, almost 
lace-like, look to the seams.  Looking at the description and the picture, 
it seems to me that the seams have been hemmed using hemstitch and then 
joined using the plaited insertion stitch.

If that's too complicated/time-consuming, many of the shirts I have pics 
of have been joined with a buttonhole insertion stitch, where one side 
gets buttonholed, then the other side, giving a kind of checker block 
effect.  The blue columbine embroidered boy's shirt at the Museum of 
Costume  (good pic in Levy's Lace book of the underarm gusset) has been 
joined with a fancy version of the stitch.  The embroidered monochrome 
smock with the rainbows has the basic buttonhole insertion stitch at the 
sides.  (good pics in QEW).

Does that answer your question, or did I go off in the totally wrong 
direction?  If so, let me know which direction you'd like me to 
pontificate in.  ;>  I'll even find my books so that I make a little more 
sense...

That doesn't sound like Wissner's plastic whalebone at all. Can't help you as
to what it is, only as to what it isn't. :-)

Nicole,
Thanks to another member on this list, I found out about this site:
http://vickisnylons.com/
They sell the pointy bras and the seamed stockings.
Good luck on the costume!

Dear Elisabeth,

nted the Museum of the City of London books e-mailed me a few days ago and s=
he was also looking for In Royal Fashion, another book they have published t=
hat covers Princess Charlotte of Wales and Queen Victoria.  Normally, I woul=

I tracked it down.  One of my British remainder dealers had it in their most=
 recent catalog - the discount isn't very much, but at least the book can be=
 gotten. =20

This is too late for me to normally carry, but if others on the costume list=
 are looking for it, I could order as many copies as I can get commitments f=
or.  I'd need to order them all at once, within the next week or so - the lo=
nger I wait, the more likely they will sell out.

Anyway, thank you for bringing up the topic of books that need translating o=
r reprinting. =20

Hi. I have been to two CostumeCons on the East Coast (and honored to be a
judge at one of them), and the Historical Costume section, although small by
comparison to the Fantasy stuff, was nevertheless well represented. There were
entrants in all categories of both skill and historical period. I was quite
impressed with all of the skill and work that went into the costuming. In the
end, I wished that no one had to compete, as everyone had done such a great
job in their area. Of course, when you throw your hat into the ring, you stand
the chance of coming in second place. I hope the CC21 has as great competitors
as those I got to see.  Mike T.

I have a photocopy of Schuette as well as the book.  I refuse to bring
the book to outdoor events -- too expensive to replace.

True that many people may not replace their copies.  I, however, always
buy the book if it's available.  Once I've bought the book I toss my
copy -- with the except of the Schuette photocopy which I use when I
don't want to risk harm to the actual book.  Doesn't make it legal, but
it easies my conscience about making copies.

Thank you everyone for all those suggestions, web page addresses, information
and first hand experience. I have a lot to go from now, cheers! The pointed
bras look really hilarious, I think I have to get one, after all, it's
authentic (and it's funny!)
Tim also gave me a sheet with detailed information on how things were worn for
different years, and apparently the stockings are supposed to be grey
(1954-1956) and then beige (1957-1960). I think I go for the 54-56 look, I
prefer beige stockings.
Now I just have to find a source for simple, sturdy, black lace-up shoes. There
must be something here in the UK for uniform shoes or such. I'll check around.
Thank you everyone! When I have the stuff together I promise a photo of me as
Nursie. (for those in the UK, yes, I DO look like a nurse in one of the Carry
On films. hehehe)

Hmm.. if you hate it so much, there isn't by any chance something else you
could do? I am a firm beiever in not forcing oneself into doing something one
hates. Would be such a shame. Your project though sound yummy!

Thankyou for helping me out here (sorry it's been so long before I got
back to you, but life,you know.....)

My travels to and from SF are a bit complicated - I'm flying in on
Wednesday October 23, meeting some friends who are flying in from the
east coast (theoretically we will all end up in the same place at the
same time). We then spend two days together in Northern California and
then drive up to Lake Tahoe, where I have a week at SOAR (the Spin Off
Autumn Retreat, which is my main reason for being in the US as I won a
scholar ship for this).

The following Sunday I get myself back down the SF and am staying with
some people until the Wednesday evening when I fly back to the UK. So I
think my only time for wandering SF in detail is on the Tuesday
(November 5).

Are all these places fairly central and easy to get to, or is it pretty
complicated? And if you're free that day, I'd love to meet. But if you
can't get time off, don't worry.

Many thank for all your help.

Yes, I think I was the only girl in my class who didn't wear a girdle (they were called "roll-ons" by then). I suppose Mum and I were not very fashion-conscious. Personally, I loathed stockings and suspenders, and was really glad I only had to wear them for a few years before tights (pantyhose) came in.

Ahhh, Bjarne, you and them might not have understood each other. I have their
catalogue and their samples (some of them) the narrowest they do is actually
3.5 mm! they also do different thicknesses. 12 mm is their WIDEST.
They do 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 mm

I am loking forward to the boning!

I'm no uniform expert, but I guess they're all versions of styles worn in the pre-khaki era. Wasn't khaki first worn in the Boer War?

San Francisco and Lake Tahoe are on opposite sides of the state, the narrow 
way.  Driving time may be 3 hours, or 4, I'm not sure, but there's a direct 
freeway connexion between San Francisco and one end of Lake Tahoe.  Los 
Angeles is 8 hours south of San Francisco, by freeway, and Mexico another 2 
hours south of that.

I'm unemployed, and likely to stay that way, just the luck.  So this day, 
Tuesday (November 5), is fine with me.

Hi Kayta, can you get this off list, I can't get my stupid e-mail to
give me your individual address, it will only send to the list. I'm on
freyalyn@ivillage.com

I meant the places you originally mentioned within SF - could we visit
them all in a day?? Is there anything else you think you'd like to show
me? Let me know and we'll work out where and when to meet.

Freyalyn

thanks Janet for coming on-list about In Royal
Fashion.  Almost everyone I know dresses more than one
time period.
   Thanks Fran, I'll start peering at your suggested
links later today.  My computer didn't come up with
anything for Fabric of Society but it seems to really
hate book titles, no matter what they are.  Even when
I know something is out there and where a title search
won't show it.  Eventually I'll have my teen-ager
teach me how to do this right.
   Magdalena,  You sound like exactly the person I
need to get talking about drawn thread work.  I've
been peering at the Fashion in Detail and trying to
relate what I'm seeing and reading to the stitch
diagrams in a book called White Work Embroidery by
Barbara Dawson.  It's more a dictionary of types of
whitework but it does have photos of work in progress
so you can see how to make the stitches and a bit of
history of each type of whitewok.  I'm presuming that
it was fabric that was expensive so someone might
piece together lengths that weren't quite long enough
by putting in a yoke or shoulder piece and then
decorate the piece because (like a cat) I meant to do
that anyway.  I gather that fabric was not a throw
away commodity in this timeframe and getting linen
here, even now at the end of the season, is not cheap
or even possible.  I've hit the end of season sales
and am trying to strip some colors out to redye a more
period shade but I hate to order off-line fabrics
until I'm more familiar with linen and silk.  I did
find some nice white linen, reasonably fine for shifts
which is 54 inches wide but it is a border print for
skirts so the useable width is only about 44 inches
but as 2.88us @ yd I'll take it and cut off the border
print.  Scraps are a great practice area to learn what
I'm doing as to thread size and stitch patterns. 
Would they have used hem-stitching and blackwork on
the same garment?  Can I hemstitch the pieces together
and then blackwork the cuffs and collar and shoulder
piece?  What about covering the shoulder piece with
one of the blackwork filler stitches that  were
recently put up as Bronwen's Blackwork?  Thanks for
all the info everyone, I'm beginning to feel less lost
in the Elizabethan timeframe.
                        Cassandra

I've never been to one either, but I've helped run the English/UK 
version a couple of times.  If the US ones are in any way similar...

Main events are usually the masquerades... costume competitions 
where you get to show of your really spiffy costumes.  Not just by 
*wearing* them but by *presenting* them (Judges and audience 
can only be entertained by so many "Woman in a Frock"  entries 
where the entrant simply walks on, does a twirl and walks off.....!) 
in some way.  Over here we have 3 masquerades (Science 
fiction/fantasy, Historical and "Anything goes"... I suspect the 
"antyhing goes" category is absorbed into the "SF and Fantasy" 
category at US conventions as I don't see it listed for CC21

Plus, there are talks, workshops, panel deiscussions etc - all 
related to costumes and costuming.   Take a look at the Costume 
Con 21 webpages to see the sort of things Karen's plkanning for 
the program and the other stuff that's listed there.  Some of it's not-
confirmed yet,  but it looks like a good variety of stuff on offer..

Not red cross nurses,and not in the UK and not in the 1950s, apparently. :-)
A red cross nurse is not like a nurse in a hospital either.

Hi all!

In traveling to Washington, D.C. this past July, I recalled someone's suggetion about alternatives to scissors for those of us who cannot imagine a 7 hour flight without something to do with our hands!  The dental floss case has a cutting edge which is excellent for threads.   My needles posed no problem going through (I had them in the material with some thread in it.) My scissors I did have packed in my checked luggage, but on the way back, I forgot and carried on my thread snips (like you buy at JoAnn's with the plastic casing)in my carry on luggage and it was promptly confiscated by security!!   Thank goodness I still had my dental floss in my purse!

This is just to say -- be careful when you travel at this time, but for the determined costumer -- Have needle, will travel!!

That's lighweight fabric weight.  mm stands for momme.

poly chiffon is about the equivalent of 5-6 mm,
Chinese silk (the stuff cheap silk shirts are made of) is 8mm,
Cotton broadcloth is about the equivalent of 10 mm,
poly taffeta is about the equivalent of 20-25 mm (give or take the =
quality),
And Upholsety velvet is about the equivalent of 35+mm.

Hope this helps!

Ok,

8mm Habotai is the weight you generally find in those painted silk scarves.

I am fairly certain that 16mm Georgette would be at least blouse weight.

Georgette is a very fine, very lightweight flimsy,
floaty type of silk, which normally comes in approx
30" widths, and all sorts of colours.

Hope this helps,
Debbie

I travel for a living and always have some sort of hand work with me.  I
have the thread cutter ring and have also never been stopped with the
thread snips that look like a pen.  It is in my briefcase right along
side all my ball point pens.  I also have a pair of compression 'kid'
scissors.  They have plastic handles but metal blades incased in
plastic.  Security has looked at them, but never confiscated them.  I
can cut ribbon, and such with those.

Is this Drea's style of gathered kirtle?
If so, you _might_ be able to wear it through most of your pregnancy
anyway, just by changing how tightly you lace it.

(Caveat -- I have NO experience in this myself, so...)

We had a discussion about 19th c. fashions and pregnancy on the 19thCWoman
list a week or so ago.  Some of the ladies who have worn mid-Victorian
clothes while pregnant said that the full skirts accomodated most of their
size change, until maybe the last two months of pregnancy.  I've noticed in
pictures of 18th c. pregnant women that they tend to leave their stays
loose at the bottom (you can't see the stays, but I'm guessing they just
started the lacing higher up), and to wear their petticoats and aprons
higher up as well; so they didn't need a separate set of clothing just for
being pregnant (very practical, considering how much time women spent being
pregnant...)

I suspect that Drea's kirtle pattern would work in a similar fashion  --
the skirts are very full, and the kirtle laces up in back, so it can expand
a bit.

Cheers,
Mara

Agreed.  I had a copy-of-a-copy-of-a-copy of McClintock's book on Irish and
Highland Dress.  Unicorn Books got permission to reproduce it (in copy
form, not hardcover), and you can bet I jumped at the opportunity.  I'd
MUCH rather have a good-quality original than a fair or bad-quality copy.
If the publishers would bring several other good costume books back into
print, I'd do the same...  I've spent way too much money (need to make a
list for my insurance records, in case of fire!) on alibris and bibliofind
buying out of print books, but some of them simply can't be obtained for
love or money, regardless.  Case in point -- Montgomery's _Textiles in
America_.  I have a copy on loan from a friend, but that book desperately
needs to be reprinted; I'm not the only reenactor who wants one, and I
can't afford to pay $250+ for my own copy right now!

Yes, it used to intrigue me that none of the historical costume books mentioned maternity clothes, seeing that it was normal for women of all classes to have a baby every year (well, I did once see a Regency maternity dress.) But of course they mostly just adapted their normal clothing.

OTOH, today I saw one that looked like it was going to be even funnier, 
starting out something like "Medieval SCA Victorian", but then it said 
"Hoops".  I can imagine talking one set of hoops into being several 
different periods - my only set of hoops is adjustable for a few different 
decades.

Hi H-Costumers!

Short note to say. "Bye,"  for a while at least. An idiot at work 
(where my e-mail is) circulated spam to the entire organisation so 
the dreaded crackdown on personal e-mails has happened.

I'm gonna have to unsub for a while to reduce the through traffic on 
my account.

I'll miss this list!



Teddy

I just want to correct a misconception here. While big families were common
in the past, even the recent past, it's going too far to say that "a baby a
year" was common for people of all classes at every time in the past,
implying that "common" means "universal." Relatively small families of six
or so have always been common, and even accounting for higher infant
mortality people often spaced them out. Breastfeeding has a natural
contraceptive affect that doesn't work for every woman, but that generally
spaces children two years apart. Of course, breastfeeding isn't as universal
as many people suppose -- the use of wet nurses by anyone who could afford
them was very popular at various times throughout Europe. And of course in
ancient Rome they practically had to bribe rich families to have children at
all. (Of course that, too, is a simplification.)

My point is that we should not assume that the lack of modern birth control
methods meant that every woman had a baby every year. Your average woman had
more pregnancies that today's average woman in the West, that's all. But
also, at most times in the past there were a lot more women who never
married at all, and never had children at all. Today's assumption that most
people will marry and perhaps even reproduce without marrying is very
unsual. So plenty of women never adjusted their clothes for pregnancy.

I am needing to do some sort of costume for occasional wear when I may
be hanging out with the local lace guild when they are doing demos. 
These tend to be at local historical sites which means American midwest,
mid to late 19th century.  Authenticity standards are not strict but I'm
to much into it personally to just throw together a skirt and blouse as
has been recommended :).  This is way out of my period so can someone
recommend a good site or references I can use for research?  

Thanks,
Catherine

I am a member of our local art museum (Phoenix, AZ) and the Arizona
Costume Institute.  I spoke last evening to the curator of the Fashion
Design section of the museum and the director of the ACI.  They were
unaware of the incredible costuming that is done in the various
re-enactment groups.  I showed them some pictures of some local
costumer's work and also informed them that there were folks world wide
which did a lot of this amazing stuff.  They seemed very interested and
I told them that I would see if any of you state side outside of AZ and
across the pond(s) might be interested in having your work displayed
should they decide to pursue it.

So, my question is: Would you consider parting with your best articles
to have them displayed at the museum?

This is not a rinky dink outfit, they have one of the best fashion
collections in North America. http://www.phxart.org/

So, anyway let me know what you think about the whole idea and contact
me offline if you are interested in participating.
Obviously this idea is just in its  conceptual stage, but I'd like to
have a few names to hand them if they decide to do it.

The big question is HOW do they treat them? My mantua, for example, has
irreplacable 19th c. handmade laces, the fabrics are all silks and metals. It
cost memore than I can pay off ina year.
My blue dress is entirely decorate with Bjarne handmade silver lace,
irreplacable as well.
Do they treat the items like museum pieces, with the utmost care, and do they
pay for the very expensive proper shipping in proper cases etc.? Will they
treat those pieces of costume clothing like the ART they are, or just like
'costumes'?
Do they treat them like the best one off creation by a dead designer like
Versace, or do theytreat them with any less reverence.

Sorry for these questions, but I think they are important.
In essence, the idea is great, and should be done here in the UK too I think,
though I fear England would treat them far too much like 'fancy dress'
costumes. *snorts* I only say 'oh can we put fake blood onto your dress' by a
filming crew for the BBC and the shrill screamed horrified NO BLOOMING WAY YOU
SODS!!!

This is a very legitimate concern.  As I said this is not a rinky-dink
outfit, and they constantly solicit artwork loans and provide them from
their own collection.  I am sure insurance would be provided, though
like many works of art they deal with, they are really irreplaceable.
They have a few late 17th century items in their collection and appear
to have the proper attitude towards them.  If it comes to fruition and
they choose to include me in trying to arrange it, all those questions
would be asked.  They, on the other hand, may just take the idea and run
with it themselves.  Then it would be up to the people solicited to
ensure they ask those questions.

I'll let everyone know what they say.  I specifically mentioned Bjarne's
work and they were amazed that anyone would make hand made lace and put
it on a historically correct garment.  But these folks are kinda' hoity
toity and I am sure that they don't often mix with 'folks like us'-so it
doesn't really surprise me.   But I try not to let that put me off,
because to me what is important is that the museum attempt to reach the
public to make them aware of art and that 'even they (the masses)' have
the capacity produce it.

I'm just starting to look into ACW stuff myself, 
having previously thought of Tudor as "modern". I 
think that covers "mid to late 19th century", close 
enough?

(And I got told to go for a blouse and skirt, too! No 
way!)

Others on this list have been very, very helpful, but 
here's some sites I've found useful, as a beginner:

http://www.elizabethstewartclark.com/
especially the Academy
http://www.elizabethstewartclark.com/THE_MARKET
PLACE/FABRIC_STORE/Academy/Academy.htm

Includes patterns: so don't buy too many when you 
can get them free!

www.pastpatterns.com sells patterns (surprise!) but 
their web site seems to be down at present :(

The Curiosity Shop
http://home.earthlink.net/~gchristen/
has lots of interesting information

There's a book called "What they Wore" by Juanita 
Leisch. Available from Amazon, and excellent.

Nicole,

There's (or there used to be) a company called Alexandra, who do uniform 
wear for nurses and caterers and similar stuff.  You may be able to find 
a branch in a large town - there was one in Edinburgh, but I think it 
moved to out-of-town.

Hi.
I told you that i had given up making costumes, a long time ago.
But i must admit that i am back in buisiness after all. Cant live without
it!!! :-)
I really have missed the thrill .............
A lady in Denver, USA has purchased me to make her an embroidered 18th.
century robe a la francaise.
It is partly inspired from the pink dress with the handpainted white panels
in Revolution in fashion.
I promise to send photos to my site soon. Just had a new computer and i
really have to figure how i use the new program "Frontpage Express" to send
new pages to the URL.
The dress is made in sky blue "Royal Silk Taffeta" from James Hare in
London. I am going to embroider the panels on ivory taffeta, using Eterna
Stranded silk and Silk Chenille. I have just finished the design for the
embroidery and made a watercolour of the dress to be.

Bjarne

I did consider doing it in braid, but for the quality it needs I would 
have to do it in embroidery silk, and about 50 cards.  Even though I 
enjoy doing braid, that's too much, and too likely to turn into a nasty 
tangled thing half-way through.  I wove 5m for my posh girdle last 
winter, time for a change!

Hi again,
   I think I was the one who commented about a baby a
year.  I realize that not everyone had a baby a year,
I was merely  refering to my own genealogy, most of my
ancestors had 17-21 children through the course of
their reproductive lifetimes and the known rate of
miscarriages of the ones that didn't suggests Rh
incompatibility.  As it is I have lots of relatives ;)
and alot of them are into American Civil War
re-enacting so that is really my period.  Although the
Elizabethan is starting to grow on me as I work on my
current project.
     I recently saw a very bad book on lingerie (the
fashion plate captions were way way off) that
reproduced a portrait of Elizabeth I in which she is
wearing a grey gown with gold ornaments that look to
be set on top ofribbon rosettes.  There is no citation
for the portrait but it looks like Elizabeth I.  Does
anyone know this one?  I don't remember seeing much
grey in clothing of that era before and the jewelry
looks almost reproducible given enough ribbon and some
costume jewelry I recently saw.
                           Cassandra

Hello-

I'm in the beginning stages of planning an 1873-5 (ish) evening gown.  I've
looked at several sources & checked all the books I have but haven't been
able to make up my mind whether the gowns were several separate pieces or
not, it seems obvious in daywear but not so with the evening styles.  I know
that they are made up of a bodice/underskirt/overskirt but are they all
attached to each other?

How is the bodice closed, I'm assuming it is laced up the back.  I've only
been able to find pictures from the side & front, those that I have from the
back aren't detailed enough to be able to tell.

I've also been researching the underclothes & have found a list which
includes chemise, camisole & vest.  Aren't these 3 things roughly the same
at this point?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I've rented Age of Innocence to
watch for ideas on colour, styling etc.  What other movies cover this time
period?


Thanks

Elizabeth

To Elizabeth-

I have a bustle-era ball gown made by a Victorian-specialist seamstress
and she made the bodice so it closes by hooks and holes up the back. No
gaping or slipping there!!! The underskirt slips on and buttons, the
back overskirt hooks onto the underskirt's waistband and the front
overskirt buttons on to the waistband.  All are separate items, great
for disassembling and recombining into various day looks.

My undergarment is a set of combinations, which is really rather later
than 1870's but it cuts down on the amount of bulk at the waist, which
can really start to add up!!

This outfit was created this way after discussions between me and the
seamstress to achieve ease of wearing and versatility of pieces and may
not reflect what the ladies actually did in the Victorian Era!!!

Hope this helps, 

Theresa Eacker

My best recommendation is to check out the website of 'Truly Victorian'
patterns. 

http://trulyvictorian.netfirms.com/


They have an extensive collection of early bustle clothing patterns which
will save you the trouble of reinventing the wheel. If you want high end
fashion, there are several Dover books that have reprints of period
fashion plates and catalogs: 

Victorian Fashions & Costumes from Harper's Bazar-1867-1898
Edited by Stella Blum

Victorian and Edwardian Fashions from "La Mode Illustree" 1860-1914
Edited by JoAnne Olian

American Dress Pattern Catalogs 1873-1909
Edited by Nancy Villa Bryk


are close at hand. On the other hand, if you want to know what women were
actually wearing, there are books of period photos which can help:

Victorian Costume for Ladies 1860-1900
Linda Setnik  Schiffer Books

Victorian and Edwardian Fashion- A Photographic Survey
Alison Gernsheim Dover Books

Just a few recommendations of sources I have found to be helpful.

It really depends on the dress. I've seen a dress that was clearly one piece
(or at least one outer piece with petticoat etc underneath it's Alison
Gernsheims book reprinted by Dover as Victorian and Edwardian Fashion, A
Photographic Survey) and I've seen one which really is a seperate (the pink
rose gown at V&A.. what a stunner in person. Sadly my photo of it turned out
blurred, but what was facinating was the double row of piping. I'd thought
it was just a single row from photos.

Another Dover reprint (how do I love the company for all it's costume book
reprints!) is the Harpers Bazar book which covers fromthe 1860s to 1890s and
has so many fashion plate illustrations you're sure to find something that
supports both single out piece and 2 or more pieces (maybe a seperate trian
for example as well as bodice and skirt).

That rose gown definately laces up the back. So there is that as an option,
but I'm pretty sure I've seen hooks and eyes or buttons down the front on
some. It really is not a case of one way for every gown:) Of course I am
talking a few years either side of the date you gave:)

Sort of...  By the late 1870s there were combinations, but petticoats were
still worn (and some corsets have buttons on them to hold the petticoat up,
supposedly to reduce bulk) And I think there were corset covers still
around.

1875 is still pretty full in terms of the bustle so underwear hadn't been
streamlined quite yet.

Portrait of a lady does, though the style really reflects the latter end of
the decade even though it covers several years. The aunt played by... Shelly
long is it? has fashions that are more towards the middle part of the
decade.

Also Anna Karenina with Sophie Marceau in the title role is an movie for
this era:) Again slightly later, more streamlined.

1870s to 1880s is my all time favourite fashion era. Such a range from
incredibly hideous over the top monstrosities to absolutely divine elegance.
Pingat and Worth beign my two favourite designers for this era. I might be
able to find a link to some stunning extant gowns on the net if you would
like to see them? I saved the images, but hopefully I did also save links;)

>I'm in the beginning stages of planning an 1873-5 (ish) evening gown.

There is a reasonable change over that time, I only really do England so I'm
not sure it applies to the US too, but for what it is worth...

1873 are fuller in the front with apron style fronts and lots of puffs
towards the back, they are generally more merrange like, as you progress
through those years the front has less emphasis and you more from being
towards the centre of a circle to the front of an elipse. The decoration
move towards the back, hips start of be more defined, bodices start to get
longer & you get more princess line gowns. But it is fairly gradual

 >whether the gowns were several separate pieces or
not, it seems obvious in daywear but not so with the evening styles.  I know
that they are made up of a bodice/underskirt/overskirt but are they all
attached to each other?

Earlier ones are more inclined to be seperate

>How is the bodice closed, I'm assuming it is laced up the back.

Various ways & generally very complex ones at that. On a practical level you
might not want to go as complicated as the real thing if you ever anticipate
have to get out of it alone !

I have evening wear that is front opening, back buttons, back clips and side
opening. By evening gown do you mean dinner wear, opera wear, ball gown as
the style would differ somewhat.

>I've also been researching the underclothes & have found a list which
includes chemise, camisole & vest.  Aren't these 3 things roughly the same
at this point?

Most vests I have are knitted warm things I'd not wear in the evening :)

Underwear definatly go for the genuine split drawers !

I like combinations but I don't have any problem with excess bulk from
seperates, but then I'm bulky all round ;)

Don't start making your gown until you have you foundation sorted , ie
bustle & corset as it alters you body shape loads !

Hope this helps

Hi All,

May I pick your brains again? I remember that once upon a time I found two
drawings, one of a male and one of a female figure on the net, that were
printable to be used for drawing one's own costume designs. Now, I'm not bad at
drawing but I am awful at trying to make a human figure blank (been there, done
that, turned out very painful :-)
Does anyone know of such a drawing or has one perhaps at home and could send it
to me so that I can draw up my 'Evil Queen' costume? *grins*
Thanks ever so much

Nicole

Nope, sorry. This is all Far Isles stuff. No cat-print waistcoats.

Hi again,
   I think I was the one who commented about a baby a
year.  I realize that not everyone had a baby a year,

No, it was me. I said it was "normal", by which I meant that having a very large family was for centuries socially acceptable and not seen as a sign of irresponsibility, in the way that  in more recent times educated people tended to look down upon "the feckless poor". Of course I know not every couple had a huge number of children.

Bjarne,
Congrats!  I, for one, am *very* glad to see you decided 
to go back to your wonderful, glorious, drool-worthy, 
scrumptious costumes.

I can hardly wait to see what you do now!

It's quicker to just buy a pattern than to start from scratch.  For your 
purposes, any of the commercial historical patterns, of the sort sold to 
re-enactors, should be fine.  Past Patterns is the name that comes to mind, 
tho I have never used their patterns and there are many others as 
well.  You're lucky in that you get to pick the period.

Separate pieces, sometimes attached but usually not.

or hooks.

Sometimes chemise or shift is the name for the underneath one.  Sometimes 
chemise or camisole or vest is the name for the outer one.  Names???  One 
garment goes under the corset, and one garment goes over the corset.

Hi, All. Please let us know the conditions under which garments would be
loaned. A written agreement might be in order. Does the Museum have a
standard one? I am the Chairman of a Curatorial Committee for a small
(possibly rinky-dink ;) ) museum, and we have artifacts loaned or given
under a variety of conditions. Some museums will not accept any items
unless they are loaned by their own specific conditions. This is to protect
both the Museum and the loaner, but it sometimes puts off potential
donors.  Mike T.

Well.. *buffs nails*
Have been discussing this with Teddy at length. Okay,let's start at the
beginning.
I made an Evil Queen costume a few years back when I was much thinner, I think
I have a piccie somewhere online... the point is, I was skinny, and  could get
away with the flimsy bits I am wearing (and thigh length black high heeled
patent leather boots *LOL*)

okay, one is here:
http://www.cheesegame.com/vaux/queenkhay_s.jpg

and one here:
http://www.cheesegame.com/vaux/thoraqueen2.jpg

I really really have been wanting another costume, and I mean COSTUME and not
authentic correct period clothing for a long while now. I have been starting to
lose any fun making costumes and sewing, because the work for Ben's uniforms
was just too much and I couldn't bear it anymore (that kind of reminds me a
little bit of the burn-out that Bjarne had). Anyway, so I was starting to dream
of this costume and what I would like it to be like. See, I have Margo's
patterns, and am geting the excess boning that Bjarne still had. Also, I'm
going to visit teddyand Tom in a couple of weeks (one day sorting Teddy's
fabric stash, the next he's helping with Margo's corset fist and other fitting
bits.) Sooo. I am going to make Margo's underpinnings all in black linen,
completely black, black, black. *L* then I have this vision of a dress in black
silk (dupion!!! NO way I go mad and pay loads of money for taffeta) and then I
want moonstones on it, but no trims, and perhaps grey pearls, and a headdress,
and huge supportasse and standing collar, and hanging sleeves over tight ones,
and a choke colarnecklace with chains and moonstones that go all the wav
spiderwebbing over the cleavage (I still have that white skin) and hooking onto
the dress. A long train and an even longer cape falling from the shoulders,
lined in silver (the hanging sleeves are lined in silver too) and so on... For
next year's UK Masquerade.

Imagine a totally still night out of civilisation. A cold black-blue skiy and
the only lights the immeasurable stars. You feel so alone and silent and cold,
that you start to get frightened.. THAT is what my dress' insipration is. :-)

Oh I know dear!

Mauve: The Colour That Changed the World
(Robyn Williams' radio transcript from ABC, Australia, 5/01/2002)

Summary:
When William Perkin, a young English chemist discovered the colour Mauve, 
little did he realise the profound effect the colour would have on the 
world, and not just the world of fashion. His discovery was to have a huge 
effect on the development of explosives, perfume, photography, food and 
most importantly, modern medicine where it was used to lay the foundation 
for chemotherapy.

Thank you! It is great to hear this from such a master as you.

I hope it'll be good, I'll get the linen from Whaleys, and.... I MACHINE sew as
much as I can, no weeks on end of authentic hand sticthing. Bwuaaahaaaa.

> Dont forget to post pictures!

I was thinking to perhaps even manage an online dress diary, because my parents
have now handed the digicam that's my Christmas prezzie-to-be (and that my dad
already bought *G*) to my sis who lives in Liverpool, so that she can post it
from there to home here, because I go onto a study day at the V&A in October.

This is a good point.  I provided the curator and the AZ Costume
Institute (AZI) director the idea, they took the information I had
collected (a bunch of pictures down loaded off the internet) and said
they would consider it.  They may or may not include me in the
development of the idea (though they didn't seem to have any idea of how
to get in touch with folks who do this sort of thing-but it doesn't take
a rocket scientist).  IF they include me I will be sure to ask these
questions, but ultimately it is up to the individual who provides a
piece of work to get assurance that it will be insured, handled properly
etc.  

Here is are two of the current exhibits:
http://www.phxart.org/index_fortuny.html  (Mariano Fortuny)
And a celebration of "garden fashion"  "The Garden of Eden"
http://www.phxart.org/index_garden_of_eden.html

I think these links both give an idea of the broad range of textiles
(period, design) they are handling (these are all from their own
collection).  But still Mike's point is well taken-if I were so lucky to
have my work displayed I would want to know the same.

If the links already provided don't suit you try searching under
'croquis' and add the word 'fashion'.  Croquis is what they are called
over here in the fashion design world.

I think the general rule is front closing for day and dinner dresses, back
closing for evening -- but other posters are correct, that's only a general
rule and there are many variations.

Check out the BBC (or is A&E?) version of Edith Wharton's The Buccaneers
(http://us.imdb.com/Title?0111902) -- only available on video, and has some
GORGEOUS early - late 1870's costumes.

I would finally recommend checking out Janet Arnold's _Patterns of Fashion_
and Norah Waugh's _Cut of Women's Clothes_ to get a good overview of cut in
this period.  I have to second the recommendations for the Dover Harper's
Bazar 1867-189? book, and also for Truly Victorian patterns.

I'm so VERY into the 1870's right now, so if you have further questions
don't hesitate to ask!

- Kendra

A quick review of QEWU reveals to tidbits, both on page 247 in the
editor's notes.  "...ash coloured taffeta tissued..&..dove coloured
tissued taffeta"

Those are probably indications of at least a few items (gownes and a
jupp in this case) of shades of grey.

Of course most of the pictures in QEWU are not colored, but my guess is
if we spent some time going through the rest of the inventories we would
find other examples of grey.

**anyone know this one?  I don't remember seeing much

Hi,

I'm Ann Catelli, or Cecila Dollmaker in the SCA.
I'm interested in medieval, renaissance, nineteenth century (for dance mostly), 1910's (dancing again), and science fiction costuming.

My interest in costumes started when I wanted to make my third doll a fairy-tale princess (I was only 13), which lead me to the library & the many secondary and tertiary sources on clothing, & here I
am.


I have been to several Costume Cons, mostly those on the East Coast, & helped to run the Hartford one in 2000.
Costume Cons have a science fiction & fantasy masquerade (costume contest), a historical masquerade, a future fashion show of designs from the Future Fashion Folio, which were submitted well in advance
& picked for the folio & may be made up by any member of the convention, a doll contest, displays of past costumes, vendors, and many many classes & talks.
I enjoy them a lot, which would explain the 8 I have attended and the next two (so far) that I plan to attend, which are Chicago in 2003 and Atlanta in 2004.

yours,
Ann Catelli

I was just reading the new issue of Threads, and one of the
reader tips for cutting thread on planes -- use the tiny blade in
a dental floos container.  You don't even need to remove the floss!

what a great idea...

Welcome! I think you'll find a few dollmakers (I do cloth
sculpture/dolls) as well as costumers on the list.  Are you on the east
coast?  If you are near Hartford I know someone who also is interested
in doing dolls.  Have you ever been to Osgood's in Springfield??

I have a funny story about this (not really costume related...).

It was the beginning of my Fashion Figure Drawing class and my teacher was 
talking about the figures that are used to illustrate your clothing ideas.  
These figures are called a croquis (pronounced crow-key for all us 
non-French speaking people). One of the students in my class asked the 
teacher why they were called croquis.  And very matter-of-factly, my teacher 
responded with, "Well, because that is what you draw the clothes on."  Then 
she moved on to her next bit in the lecture as if she had really answered 
the question.  Everyone in the class just kind of looked at each other and 
shrugged.  I guess she really didn't know why it was called a croqui.

Now this is the new joke at home...  so why does such and such happen?  Why 
do you call such and such? Answer:  Well that's because you draw the clothes 
on it...

Well maybe it's not that funny...  You probably had to be there.

Anyway, here is one femail croquis that may be useful:

http://www.fidm.org/Academic/Admissions/fd2port.html

I did a search on the Internet for other croquis and was not successful.  
I'm at work, or I'd scan in some of the ones I drew to help you out.

Your Evil Queen costume sounds like so much fun.  I really hope you can post 
your diary of the construction.  We would all love to see it!

:) jessica

Sorry folks but real life has been a bit hectic
lately;

1.Gates of Hell - Robin,I haven't forgotten your
research and my promises,Waterstones is undergoing
major rennovations and their Costume section is
dismantled.The 2nd hand shop that I saw those costume
books in did not have the one that mentioned gates of
hell.I am going to the V&A as well as the BL next week
and will see if I can get any leads for you.

2.Maternity wear - of course I missed the entire post
but Nancy Bradfield has three garments dated
1770-75,1825-28 and 1895 that are drawn from extent
examples.(Costume in detail 1730-1930,Eric Dobby
Publishing 1968 thru' 1997,ISBN 1 85882 038 3 )The
last is interesting since in the under-bodice of the
garment there are two sets of lacings beneath the
sides of the breasts,probably in line with the edges
of the ribs that allows for the expanding
waistline.The over section of the bodice is slighlty
pouched which would not show much during the
pregnancy.Late Victorian women also wore maternity
corsets.Their earlier counterparts circa the 50's
hitched up the top hoop of the crinoline and shawls
were extensively used to drape and conceal the
pregnancy.(Remember that they were so prissy that
'nice' women didn't go out in public when in an
interesting condition.)The garment circa 1770-75 is a
maternity jacket.(Although in the Madness of King
George a heavily pregnant courtier is in full Court
Dress and standing at a soiree.)Prior to this there
doesn't seem to be much in the way of special wear
during pregnancies aside from relaxing the bodice or
corset lacings.I seem to recall that there were
varieties of nightgowns and robes for the laying-in of
the very wealthy.But this was from a very very old
dictionary of terms I once had and that too was a very
long time ago.

Marcus.

I've heard the statement that women "had a baby every year" frequently, but
I have seen precious little evidence for it.  Real, hard evidence, not just
the "it must be so because they didn't use birth control" assumption.  My
Grandmother was born in 1880, she had three children, only one dieing in
infancy.  My mother was born in 1911,  she also had three children (we are
all to ornery to die -- yet).  My aunt, a contemporary of my mother had only
one child.  I realize that this is not good statistical data, because it is
anecdotal, but if you look at actual historical figures from the queens of
England (Victoria and Phillipa of Hainhault as exceptions) to the New
England Midwife whose diary was published recently I don't believe the "baby
every  year"  statement is commonly born out.  (No pun intended)

Just because there was no "pill" didn't mean that women hadn't figured out
what caused pregnancy, and how to counteract it.  They seem to have used
vinegar soaked sponges, various herbal products, Queen Anne's Lace seed,
etc.  Also lactating women tend to become pregnant less frequently (not that
there weren't "surprise" babies).  Nourishment has a lot to do with a
woman's ability to become pregnant as well.

So, my question is:  Are there any real, hard statistics to uphold the idea
that women were constantly pregnant, or could this be one of those
frequently repeated myths about the middle ages on the order of the lord's
right to the bride's first night?

Regina Romsey
-------------------------------------------
Yes, it used to intrigue me that none of the historical costume books
mentioned maternity clothes, seeing that it was normal for women of all
classes to have a baby every year (well, I did once see a Regency maternity
dress.) But of course they mostly just adapted their normal clothing.

I don't know about actual statistical evidence, but I have been doing my
genealogy lately and looking through a lot of census records from 1800
through 1900 and there are a lot, and I mean probably 2/3 anyway, of women
in the census with at least 5 children.... and some with as many as 10! and
I would venture to say that most of them had them pretty much one right
after the other, as in one a year or every year and a half.

Hi,
I'm trying to find a copy of Laudonia de Medici, by A. Bronzino. I've looked
at the web gallery of art, I've done a couple of different Google searches,
she doesn't seem to be anywhere.
I'll find time to go to the library, eventually, and should find it there,
but in the meantime, would someone just happen to know where I could find an
online copy? The only copy of it I have now is in 20,000 years of fashion,
but it's small, and it's black and white.
Thanks!
Audrey

Greetings Audrey!

Good luck in your search. I've been looking for years
and have yet to find one. If you do, please, please,
please, let me know!

A friend tried to photograph the painting for me, but
it's very high up on the wall and it was too dark in
the Plazzo Pitti to get a decent picture.

kate
PS--I've also seen her name as "Laudomia de Medici."

BTW--don't bother buying the catalog of the Plazzo
Pitti. There are NO photos of her portrait. :-(

I've come across this problem before, and in many
cases it happens because what is known as "Portrait of
Laudomia de Medici" in one book or catalogue, is
online or in another book as "portrait of an unknown
woman" or some thing along those lines. If you could
scan your pic and upload it somewhere we can take a
look at it, someone may know it by another name. I'd
be happy to upload it to my site if you don't know
anyone else who could do this for you. Just a thought.

This is posting late, but here goes.  A costume con is panels on various
types of costume/costuming construction, how to's or how not to.  If you're
into masquerade, movement or presentation tutorials. And everywhere and
everyone in costume or bits of costume.  Talking about costume, thinking
about costume.  In other words business as usual..

(I apologize in advance for responding so very late.  Our computer was down
and now I have over 1,000 message to wade through.  I've gotten this far in
1 1/2 hours.)

I never tried to read the messages because I hate Yahoo.  I've signed up for
it a couple of times and then Yahoo says that someone else is using my name
and I need to find another one.  As long as you make the fabric swaps on
Yahoo, I won't be able to be involved, but if it was on the list - with the
caveat that the communications immediately go private - I would be interestd
in participating.

Just one more person's opinion that Yahoo is truly following in it's
original definition.

>I'm in the beginning stages of planning an 1873-5 (ish) evening gown.

I just came on here to recommend The Buccaneers and I see that Kendra has beaten me to it! I just tracked down a secondhand copy of this (for some reason known only to themselves the BBC has deleted the video over here in the UK and US tapes won't play on our machines - you'd think they'd be eager to recoup some of the ££thousands they must have spent on those costumes, but still..). I've been watching it this morning and it is so divine costume-wise. I'm not sure how accurate it is - there seem to be an awful lot of heaving cleavages in daylight hours which I'd be suspicious of - but oh my gosh they're such beautiful beautiful dresses....


Kate (another one), drooling ever so slightly....

As a little anecdote from my family, my great-grandma (whose ring and only
valuable possession I am wearing every day *S* and who I will always remember
as the old lovely lady all in stout and strict black with the white neat hair
bun, she had hip length hair until her death!) had 12 children, and most of
those survived. My 'Omama' was born in the 1880s/90s.

She didn't know, she honestly did NOT know during the first 3 children WHERE
they came from. I am not making this up. She was 15 or such when she was maried
to her husband (no, she was not asked, they were in Masuren - now Poland - back
then a part of Germany, and the husband's family had originated in Russia). She
told my mother that she kept wondering, not being able to realise that the
grunting man and the discomfort for a few minutes in her bed had anything to do
with pregnancy, and she said to my mum that her mother told her finally: 'where
there is nothing getting in, there will be nothing coming out.' and this was
her entire SexEd. She also said that from then on she used to wear her red
petticoat as often as possible and her husband complained that she wore it so
often, asking if it was her time 'again'. You can guess surely, the red
petticoat meant she had her period and was untouchable.

These were rural people, and she was brought up in utter ignorance, and spend
many years of her life being pregnant, because this was 'what a good woman did:
shut up and let him get over with, and bear him children, and obey'. They then
had to move to the mid western part of Germany into the city where I was born,
which was a coal mining centre until the 1960s/70s, because they were starving
in Masuren.

Oh my, I tell you all something, I loved her, and I think she is/would be proud
and happy, that her two great-granddaughters are absolutely independant, free,
and don't even need to think about emancipation, because we just are.

Western society has come a long way...

Nicole
P.S. The ring has an extra story: it is a yellowy brown stone and everyone
always smiled patronisingly at her, because brown stones are worth nothing,
right? But it was the only possession she ever had,and she wore it until the
ring part was worn through, the setting is only silver, but the stone is pretty
huge. Anyway, no one wanted it when she died, so I, the youngest kiddie, asked
if I may have it, coz I loved her and because I LOVE big fat glittery stones,
always have. (now there's a surprise *LOL*). Finally, last december, I took it
to a jeweller friend, because the ring had broken, worn through so thin. he
looked at it, went very still and quiet,stared at it and examined it for a long
long time, finally asking if I knew what I had. I said 'yeah, sorry, I know it
is just glass and worth nothing, but please repair it because it was my
Omamas'. he just shook his head and proceeded to tell me gently that this was
one of the biggest, purest, with the most lustre, natural citrines he had ever
seen, and it is worth several thousand pounds, maybe even ten! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
I keeled over, fanned myself, then laughed my butt off and slapped an imaginary
High Five to my Omama somewhere in heaven, coz she DID have a precious ring!!!
It was her sole precious possession, and now it is my sole precious possession. *G*

Nicole, what a wonderful story.

I have my mom's mother's ring, and a beautiful topaz that she wore every
day. They have no real monetary value, but they are loaded with value to me!

This is a little off topic to your question, but i have often wondered how
wonderfull it would be if someone, author -art historian or other would
compleate every countrys portraits in annalogic order.
Whouw what a treassure that would be! and every country had such books at
least at the library with all countries portraits.
I found one book once many years ago, but it was only text with a
description of each portrait in Denmark, 6 large thick books full of
descriptions. This was in Roskilde.
Wouldnt that be wonderfull?

Bjarne

Audrey, if you will tell me what section or page it is on I can scan it
for you and put it up on my website.  I will try to find it myself, but
I can't remember if there is an index to the plates.

**Hi,

I have no idea if my family can be taken as average or not. They were
German immigrants to Chicago- came over some time in the 1870-1880's. My
great grandmother on my father's side had 11 children, two of whom died
in infancy. But she didn't do it one right after the other. Her last
child (who died) was born at the same time her oldest daughter was having
her first child! Tillie (oldest daughter) didn't marry particularly young
either, she was in her twenties. My grandmother (second oldest) had to
help raise her younger siblings so when she got married (1914), she vowed
she was only going to have one child as she'd already raised so many.
Sure enough, my dad's an only child. Even if GGM didn't have access to
any sort of BC, obviously Grandmother did, unfortunately she died before
I was of an age to ask her questions like that, so exactly HOW she
managed to have only one child is a mystery. 

Hmmmm.....this is almost completely devoid of costume content....have to
watch that......

Kate is right, the costumes in The Buccaneers are not 100% accurate, but
they are great inspiration.  I don't think many movies DO have perfectly
accurate costumes.  You need to take them with a grain of salt as regards to
accuracy, but that doesn't mean that they can't be fun!  I myself like to
see how people move in costume, and when you can see a decent production
where the women are wearing corsets etc., you can get a decent idea.  I love
that in The Buccaneers, they show the girls running and climbing trees and
all sorts of other things that you normally don't see women do in period
costumes.

Watch the video and then sit down and compare what you saw with contemporary
fashion plates and patterns from Janet Arnold etc.

This is getting pretty off-topic, but I wanted to write one more time
because I'm interested in this subject. I was not picking on Cassandra or
anyone else with my first post, just writing to correct an error I see
frequently in many places.

Some people (men and women both) are not very fertile. Even today, fertility
specialists don't know what to do about most kinds of male infertility.
There have always been people who are otherwise healthy and who, for no
known reason, have only one or two children. The fact that a woman in the
past had few children doesn't NECESSARILY mean that she did anything to keep
it that way.

A woman with a normal fertility cycle is fertile for several days every
month. Some women have longer cycles and others, which leaves them with
fewer fertile days per years. Others have shorter cycles. But NO ONE is
fertile for more than a few days every cycle. If women have intercourse
during those fertile days, they are probably going to get pregnant. While a
lot of research is going on to help infertile women with diet, vitamins,
etc., it's clear that most women who are even marginally healthy will get
pregnant fairly often if they do nothing to prevent it and are married (or
whatever) to a fertile man. That means lots of pregnancies, unless you know
effective birth control methods or you decide to abstain.

There is plenty of published, scientific evidence to show that breastfeeding
GENERALLY renders a woman infertile for many months. How? The hormones
produced during lactation keep them from menstruating. A woman can't get
pregnant again until after her menstruation returns. (But of course, she can
alwasy get pregnant the first time she ovulates, before she's had a period.)
So over a large population, breastfeeding spaces children about two years
apart. However, the number of months without menstruation varies widely (I
know a woman who bottle fed her children, but didn't have a period for
nearly a year with either one!), and as I previously mentioned, using a wet
nurse means that the woman's fertility will come back much earlier. Wet
nurses were VERY popular in many time periods, even for relatively poor
women. I read a very gruesome article (sorry -- no source) about how it was
popular for French women of all classes to send their children to the
country to be fed on cow's milk a century or two ago, even though the death
rate (no Pasteurization) was appallingly high.

Finally, it's relatively easy for a woman to avoid intercourse during her
fertile days, if she has a regular cycle and if she knows what to look for.
I don't know how widespread this information was in the past -- some people
say very, and some say not at all. I find reports on that to be biased by
people's political and social beliefs, not by research.

My point, again, is that in the past it was far more "normal" than it is
today to have large families, but it was also far more "normal" (because of
restrictions on marriage) for women to have no children. But these large
families were not necessarily produced by having a baby every year. We don't
know how much of it was by design, but many women also had small families.
The difference is the distribution of these types. And thus, though many
women needed to be able to adjust their clothes, many others didn't -- ever.

Which still doesn't explain the relative scarcity of maternity clothes.
Maybe, like today's maternity clothes, they got passed around until they
fell apart?

Oh yes, yes definitely!
I went to the library today and just couldn't find ONE example of her, and
I'd just LOVE to see her in color. I do have the black and white small pic
in 20,000 years of fashion, but it's not ideal :-)
Thank you so much :-)

I don't want to patronise, but this is a real generalisation.  Take a look
at any number  of web sites (ie TCOYF - taking charge of your fertility and
ttc - trying to conceive) and you'll see it's a far more complex issue than
this and not so easy to achieve, even for healthy women!  I personally have
an issue with (as do others) the term "infertile", too..having had fertility
problems for years.

"The hormones> produced during lactation keep them from menstruating."

May I correct you? The hormones produced during lactation can generally
prevent/suppress ovulation, not menstruation

 "Finally, it's relatively easy for a woman to avoid intercourse during her>
fertile days, if she has a regular cycle and if she knows what to look for.

I think it may be easier for some women today, to avoid sex as a whole.
However, I think it presupposes that a great many women today even
understand how their bodies work and how to tell whether they're "fertile"
or not!!  Honestly, believe me, I thought I was really knowledgeable before
I got my hands on a certain "life-changing" book, which is an accepted
"fertility awareness bible"..boy, was I wrong!  Anyway, to the crux of
it..even if a woman in the past had a great knowledge of a) the
sympto-thermal method and b) her own body, how easy was it for her to tell
her husband he couldn't have sex and to prevent it from happening? I think I
know the answer to *that* one!

Anyway, I think one very big/significant issue is being overlooked here, in
the discussion of whether or not, women had a pregnancy every year.  It is
entirely possible that many women were pregnant every year, look at Queen
Anne...19 pregnancies!  Anyway, the issue is this..many pregnancies did not
go to term, ending in miscarriage, many pregnancies ended in
stillbirth..these  go unrecorded on the vast majority family trees.  The
incidence of miscarriage even today, is 1 in 4 pregnancies..maybe even
higher.  Who knows, with  lower levels of maternal nutrition and higher
incidence of  disease or teratogens, miscarriage may have been more common
than today.  Without throwing accurate statistics and data into the mix, I
think it's unsafe to make any kind of firm conclusion.  On the grounds that
we don't have that much info on miscarriage and stillbirth in past
societies, I think we have to say the juries out.  Live births don't
necessarily equal the full number of pregnancies.  Even today, we don't have
the full picture on miscarriage for many reasons..women didn't even know
they were pregnant, foetal death doesn't get recorded until 24 weeks
gestation etc etc.

Anyway, 'nuff said..and Blackadder's on the telly..oh and my baby is
awake..must go and practice my wet-nurse role...again  ;-)

Regards

Helen

Ah, one of my favorites.  As far as I can tell, there are no on-line copies 
of this portrait.  I have searched every possible thing I could think of to 
try and no luck.  If you do find one, please share!

IIRC, there is a larger black and white copy of the picture in "The 
Portraits of the Medici" books.

Cheers,
Danielle

>I don't want to patronise, but this is a real generalisation.

I imagine that is why Gail used the term MOST becauseshe recognises it as a
generlisation, certainly that is how I read it.

>you'll see it's a far more complex issue than
this and not so easy to achieve, even for healthy women!

Most healthy women I know have problems not concieving, rather than the
other way around.

>I personally have
an issue with (as do others) the term "infertile", too..having had fertility
problems for years.

Whatever it is called fertility problems in human appear to be on the
increase, in England this has led to some reports which have caused concern.

>I think it may be easier for some women today, to avoid sex as a whole.
However, I think it presupposes that a great many women today even
understand how their bodies work and how to tell whether they're "fertile"
or not!!

> Honestly, believe me, I thought I was really knowledgeable before
I got my hands on a certain "life-changing" book, which is an accepted
"fertility awareness bible"..boy, was I wrong!  Anyway, to the crux of
it..even if a woman in the past had a great knowledge of a) the
sympto-thermal method

I don't need to know anything about the sympto-thermo method, I just know
when I am fertile.
Most animals are aware subconciously of the need to mate at the correct
time, this need has been honed by evolution as those who ran off from males
at the correct time failed to pass on their genes :) Whilst I recognise many
people these days seem totally oblivious to their natural rhythems, I can
assure you it is perfectly possible and I think more likely to be something
one had a greater awarness of in the past. I can also tell the moment of
conception, much to most chaps puzzlement.


>and b) her own body, how easy was it for her to tell
her husband he couldn't have sex and to prevent it from happening? I think I
know the answer to *that* one!

Now that is a huge generlisation, it makes every man of the past to be a sex
salivating raping monster !! As there is plenty of evidence for men holding
off from sex and pregnancy from young brides (13th C England), contraception
condom type devices (many cultures and times), instructions on withdrawl,
sex without intercourse. Days and times when men must not touch (sexually)
women, it is clear that prevention of pregancy in many cultures was
recognised and practiced by both sexs and that often the male had a part in
that care. There are many instances where men of the past show great
tenderness and respect for their wives, so I feel this is massivly unfair.

>Anyway, I think one very big/significant issue is being overlooked here, in
the discussion of whether or not, women had a pregnancy every year.  It is
entirely possible that many women were pregnant every year, look at Queen
Anne...19 pregnancies!

Average spacing of childbirth over many cultures would appear to be
generally thus

2 years agrarian
4 years hunter gatherer

Those with titles cannot be considered the norm , as generally there are
increased pressures to give birth more frequently & greater oppertunities
for farming kids out to wet nurses etc. But the women I know with large
families say 10 plus living, do not seem to resent the fact at all or look
any less healthy than any other woman of their age, these are almost modern,
but most subject to some dietary lack now being quite old(ie lived in poor
times or the Wars & rationing)

>.  Anyway, the issue is this..many pregnancies did not
go to term, ending in miscarriage, many pregnancies ended in
stillbirth..these  go unrecorded on the vast majority family trees.

Yes of couse, but we are forgetting miscarriage is a natural thing and often
happens because it should. Animals spontaniously abort too.

 >Who knows, with  lower levels of maternal nutrition and higher
incidence of  disease or teratogens, miscarriage may have been more common
than today.

Or lower. There is always much banded about as to how women were badly fed
etc in past times. Again this is another HUGE generlisation. In one book I
saw it suggested all women in Anglo Saxon & medieval times lacked Iron to
the extent of being deficient. To take a single group example from a Norfolk
8-9th C grraveyard, there are no signs of anemia the women (and men) are
hugely muscled far more that todays people, their size is comparable to the
modern population, and the biggest pathalogical symtom ? Gum diesease.

The evidence in many cases does not support low nutrition. (Victorians are a
differant matter)

Child mortality is extremely hard to assess archaeologically. Maternal death
in or due to pregnancy ? Well it is a common blame factor, but I've yet to
see much convincing evidence to back it up. Generally there is a higher
recorded death in the fertile years amoung females (but often these are not
definate female IDs) and there are more females dyeing in old age than men.
I need to do a better study on these but there just seems to be more females
that men (ie is more died at 20-35) where did all the extra old ladies come
from ?

Anyway going back to costume, the lack of survival may simply be because the
bigger pregnancy garments were more able to be remodelled into fashionable
items when completed, in the eras when women worn more fitting styles. Most
early styles are pretty much the same for pregnancy & no pregnancy wear, I
didn't make any special kit (except a slitted undertunic for feeding) for
most periods (I wore 5th, 13th 15th, 17th and 19th, 20th C kit when
pregnant) The only one being the 19th. I hate maternity clothes and wore
adapted or bigger modern kit, chosing styles which accomodated my huge lumps
!

I have to confess a certain bafflement a maternity corsets as I can't
imagine getting my lump into one :) However they wore them from the start
and against medical advice, the baby generally gowing into completly the
wrong place (the writings of the time on this are horrible!) and often died
as a result. But these maternity corsets were only used in a tiny time frame
over all history & all other times & cultures should not be judged by
Victorian mess ups such as corseting, nutrition and so on.

Dear All,

I just have to share, I am SO excited and happy that I keep bouncing about like
a rubber ball, although I should sit down quietly and finish that blasted part
draft for the PhD that my supervisor wants to see tomorrow morning, but...

My very very best friend phoned and told me that she is pregnant and the baby
is due in April!!! Now you have to know that Sushi and I have been best friends
since Uni, since about 1989, and she is 40 now, 7 years older than I am. It was
always clear that I won't have children and my sister neither, but all my life
long I so much wanted to become an aunt. We have been talking about this for
all these years, joking and laughing and saying I'll spoil her kiddie rotten
and make lil costumes and be the 'aunt from hell' that every kid loves but the
parents run away screaming, because kiddo wants to go back to auntie. *just
kidding* I almost lost hope! Her partner is my partner's best friend (we did a
country-swap, he lives in germany now, I live in England :-) and they aren't
married (yet), but lo and behold, they didn't plan it, but whoops, she got
pregnant and they are very happy about it (hehe, I wonder if they are as happy
as I am *grins*) and will marry before Christmas, back in Germany. Only the
civic wedding for now, the big church one will come next year, when she doesn't
look 'like a stranded walrus' anymore (quote my friend), and she asked me to
ber her witness!!! I am so happy I just have to tell everyone!
Costume content: I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR FOR THE WEDDING!!!! AAHHRRGHHH!!!
First of all, I hope everything will be fine and no problem with the pregnancy,
and secondly, where do I find good patterns for baby clothes and what fabrics
should I use, I always joked that I'll make extraordinary looking baby clothes
for her kiddie.
I would LOVE to make a mini-costume, some of you I know have made one, Margo?
Was that you? And the Cynthia twin costumes were just a scream, but I know
NOTHING at all whatsoever about babies and sizes and anything, could someone
point me to somewhere? I want to take time off and actually be there next
April, and would love to give her a mini-costume as birth present (it has to be
something uni-sex as long as we don't know what it will be) and the baby
blanket I always promised her for the last 12 years: purple wool with gold
stars.

Nicole - praying everything will go well and who will be the proudest aunt on
this planet ;-))))

Hi,
Just a little topic, sorry for mending here,
The Costume Magazine from the Costume society in England had a Victorian
maternity dress. I think it was back in 1978.
This had pleats in the back like a sack gown, long sleaves and very simple
but pretty in shape.

Dear All,

I just have to share, I am SO excited and happy that I keep bouncing about
like
a rubber ball, although I should sit down quietly and finish that blasted
part
draft for the PhD that my supervisor wants to see tomorrow morning, but...

My very very best friend phoned and told me that she is pregnant and the
baby
is due in April!!! Now you have to know that Sushi and I have been best
friends
since Uni, since about 1989, and she is 40 now, 7 years older than I am. It
was
always clear that I won't have children and my sister neither, but all my
life
long I so much wanted to become an aunt. We have been talking about this for
all these years, joking and laughing and saying I'll spoil her kiddie rotten
and make lil costumes and be the 'aunt from hell' that every kid loves but
the
parents run away screaming, because kiddo wants to go back to auntie. *just
kidding* I almost lost hope! Her partner is my partner's best friend (we did
a
country-swap, he lives in germany now, I live in England :-) and they aren't
married (yet), but lo and behold, they didn't plan it, but whoops, she got
pregnant and they are very happy about it (hehe, I wonder if they are as
happy
as I am *grins*) and will marry before Christmas, back in Germany. Only the
civic wedding for now, the big church one will come next year, when she
doesn't
look 'like a stranded walrus' anymore (quote my friend), and she asked me to
ber her witness!!! I am so happy I just have to tell everyone!
Costume content: I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR FOR THE WEDDING!!!! AAHHRRGHHH!!!
First of all, I hope everything will be fine and no problem with the
pregnancy,
and secondly, where do I find good patterns for baby clothes and what
fabrics
should I use, I always joked that I'll make extraordinary looking baby
clothes
for her kiddie.
I would LOVE to make a mini-costume, some of you I know have made one,
Margo?
Was that you? And the Cynthia twin costumes were just a scream, but I know
NOTHING at all whatsoever about babies and sizes and anything, could someone
point me to somewhere? I want to take time off and actually be there next
April, and would love to give her a mini-costume as birth present (it has to
be
something uni-sex as long as we don't know what it will be) and the baby
blanket I always promised her for the last 12 years: purple wool with gold
stars.

Nicole - praying everything will go well and who will be the proudest aunt
on
this planet ;-))))

Well, I suppose it all depends.

My grandfather was the youngest of nine children, all born about three
years apart.  If you figure his mother probably breast-fed for two years,
then that would have spaced her kids three years apart naturally, until
such time as she hit menopause.  Same with my husband's family -- he's the
fifth of eight kids.

Many other families in my family tree, however, seem to have had about
three or four children per family; maybe they had fertility problems, maybe
that was due to travel or other constraints, maybe they just abstained.  No
way to tell.

I suspect that some women (like my great-grandmother) _were_ either
constantly pregnant or breast-feeding, others weren't, and as usual, a
sweeping statement either way is just too black and white to capture the
subtleties of the truth.

If this is Fashion Fabrics, I think I have a piece.  Its blouse weight I
would say.  A little light for dress unless you line it.  Could also work
for a veil or shawl.

And there are reasons like travel, illness, etc.  

A friend of mine has a genetic abnormality that prevents her from absorbing
folic acid properly... and her husband has a major vein of some kind
running through the areas vital to reproduction, which heats things up too
much.  So they haven't succeeded in having kids yet, despite wanting them.
And another friend of mine has, say, one or two cycles a year...

Well, the point I was trying to make eariler was that women really don't
show _that_ much in the early part of pregnancy, and with full skirts it
might be possible to wear one's normal clothing through much of the
pregnancy.  It's only in the last few months that a change would most
likely have been necessary - and even then, you can find loose wrappers,
sack-backed jackets (for 18th c.), open robes, etc. that would accomodate a
changing figure but also could be worn afterward. The folk song 'Love, O
Foolish Love' has a line in it where the singer says that once she wore her
apron low; now she ties it high, and her lover won't come near her.  The
implication is that the higher apron is due to her pregnancy.  Maybe the
apron is covering an unlaced or unfastened lower part of her dress, too.

I think our modern fashions that fit tightly below the waist make maternity
clothes much more necessary.  The full skirts of earlier periods would
probably have made a completely separate wardrobe unnecessary, for the most
part.  There's a CDV in Juanita Leisch's book on Civil War fashion that
shows a woman who is probably pregnant; her full skirt appears to be
hanging over a very full belly.  The bodice doesn't appear to be altered at
all, but since that was a relatively high-waisted period, the gown probably
would work just fine until possibly the last month or two of her pregnancy.

Cheers,
Mara

Hi Melanie

I've received many responses to my original post about 1875 gowns & I'm
still sorting through all of the wonderful information in them.  Your one
question did make me stop & think - I'm not sure what the difference for
each type of evening gown (dinner, opera or ball) would be - could you tell
me?

I'm planning to wear the gown I'm going to make to a costume ball that will
be held at a friend's house ( which just happens to be an 1870's Italianate
Villa complete with Ballroom!) From what I've heard it will be a very
elegant evening.  PLUS I live in an 1875 Second Empire house in a thoroughly
Victorian town in Ontario, Canada AND I love costume & figure that whatever
I make should be as authentic as possible (up until now I've been more
involved in 18th century- which is why I'm not so up on Victorian).

At any rate, I figured that it would be great to have something to wear that
really reflects the period as closely as possible since I figure I will have
future use for it.

Thanks again

Elizabeth

>I'm in the beginning stages of planning an 1873-5 (ish) evening gown.

There is a reasonable change over that time, I only really do England so I'm
not sure it applies to the US too, but for what it is worth...

1873 are fuller in the front with apron style fronts and lots of puffs
towards the back, they are generally more merrange like, as you progress
through those years the front has less emphasis and you more from being
towards the centre of a circle to the front of an elipse. The decoration
move towards the back, hips start of be more defined, bodices start to get
longer & you get more princess line gowns. But it is fairly gradual

 >whether the gowns were several separate pieces or
not, it seems obvious in daywear but not so with the evening styles.  I know
that they are made up of a bodice/underskirt/overskirt but are they all
attached to each other?

Earlier ones are more inclined to be seperate

>How is the bodice closed, I'm assuming it is laced up the back.

Various ways & generally very complex ones at that. On a practical level you
might not want to go as complicated as the real thing if you ever anticipate
have to get out of it alone !

I have evening wear that is front opening, back buttons, back clips and side
opening. By evening gown do you mean dinner wear, opera wear, ball gown as
the style would differ somewhat.

>I've also been researching the underclothes & have found a list which
includes chemise, camisole & vest.  Aren't these 3 things roughly the same
at this point?

Most vests I have are knitted warm things I'd not wear in the evening :)

Underwear definatly go for the genuine split drawers !

I like combinations but I don't have any problem with excess bulk from
seperates, but then I'm bulky all round ;)

Don't start making your gown until you have you foundation sorted , ie
bustle & corset as it alters you body shape loads !

Hope this helps

Oh there are some pics of our recreations on www.castlefalkenstein.co.uk

Nicole:

Congratulations! If someone had been that happy for me (outside my family, I
mean) I would have been ecstatic!

I never sewed for my children when they were babies, I was so busy that they
grew too fast. I don't know if pattern sizes are like ready-to-wear sizes,
but ready-to-wear baby sizes are a joke, at least in the USA. Buy LOTS
bigger than they say.

I did sew a christening gown once, it was the relatively plain one still
sold by Vogue (no tucks or lace insertion or anything). It looks great --
all the cousins in the family have used it -- but it was the hardest thing I
ever made. The instructions were terrible.

I'm very saddened to see a distinct lack of sensitivity by certain members

than to express my incredulity.

I now write this, to the above..miscarriage is not always a natural
thing..it doesn't always happen because of foetal abnormality, whether
chromosomal or genetic.  The term spontaneous abortion whilst being accurate
for animals, is frankly offensive when applied to women and the Royal
College of Gynaes and Obs + College of Midwives stated that it should not be
used.  Those who've miscarried hate being told "it's natures' way..blah blah
blah"  Could say more..can't be bothered!

Anyway, I don't want to find myself in the position of being accused of
flaming, neither do I want to maintain this off-topic discussion.  I could
have replied off-line, but I wanted my feelings to be known..please, please,
try to treat certain matters with a degree of sensitivity.  This has upset
my entire family's Sunday!  Since I joined H-Costume, I've become more and
more wary of posting...some people really go for the jugular, some are very
heavy handed with their opinions and (academic) argument... it's annoying,
frustrating and upsetting/distressing. One gets to the point where one
feels.."but I didn't say that at all!" or.."I could counter this with my
evidence, but why bother?"  It's a shame..and I *know* I'm not the only one
who feels like this! However, the vast majority are very, very lovely
people.  That aside, I'm going to un-subscribe for a while cos it's causing
too much stress, believe it or not!

Regards

Helen

The top quote is right.  It can be hard for healthy women to concieve.  I am 
on an infertility list, I have SI or secandary infertility.  There are lots 
of us on there, most actually, that are very healthy and really the only 
thing "unhealthy" about us is that we can't concieve.  
My Mom comes from a family of 10 and my Dad 5.  They both were farm families. 
 I think they all liked kids but it was seen as a plus to have the extra 
built in farm hands.  In our family tree there are lots of families with lots 
of kids.  I know of one family, my greatgrandpa had lots of kids.  Part of 
his reason was he had a few wifes,  when his wife died he always remarried.  
There also was one divorce I believe.  Anyway each wife seemed to be a little 
bit younger and of course her first marriage.  The wife would want her own 
kids even though they would have his kids from the other marriages.  I 
believe he was married 4 times and all but one wife couldn't have kids.  I 
know they tried but it never happened.  My point is that sometimes there 
could be mulitply wives involved.  I am not talking about Mormanism but when 
a spouse dies and he remarries. 
By the way I love coming from a big family and like lots of kids myself.

Most healthy women I know have problems not concieving, rather than the

other way around.
