The museum where I volunteer has an educational kit they loan out to schools on the history of the county they're in. This requires complete male and female outfits from the 1840s when the first settlers arrive in the county. We didn't get a railroad anywhere near here until the 1850s. The oldest photos the museum has provedence for are from the 1850s (I do have Dressed for the Photographer and love it, also Who Wore What as it goes into the age lag). Many of the towns in the county weren't incorporated until the 1860-1870s, although you can get some idea of the population through checking the church histories as there were churches wherever there were people around here and the chuches are usually older than the towns. I know from my reading of diaries and other contemporary writings that women tried to stay up to date with the latest fashions but our county seems to have pretty rough and out-of-touch until the railroad came through. The other two activities I need clothing for are a work and play kit,work dress and fancy dress, both male and female, and items to go with the displays. All the clothing needs to be sized with extra large armscyes because the children are supposed to be able to dress up in the items. Usually just putting out adult clothing works but the small armscye of this timeframe and further along into the century keeps getting ripped out so I need to figure out adjustments for our seamstresses. Are there any really good books or sites dealing with the 1840s out there? Pattern recommendations? I can alter but I can't draft and the museum doesn't have any original clothing that old. Our curator also wants corsets and undergarments for the loan out kits so the kids can see how much clothing women actually used to wear to be appropriately dressed. I have someone willing to do the embroidery but I need patterns for that era's embroidery too. Cassandra (who onoce promised herself to never have more than 3 quilts and 3 garments in process at any one time. This list is dangerous as I love following everyone else's projects too.) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I am not sure about other Mozilla based programs.

In Netscape I disabled all cookies and it did not ask me for one when I entered the costume ball area, but then again it also did not allow me to access 2002 on the bottom menu either.. you click on it and nothing happens.

I understood that a matching turban/fez sort of cap was worn because the formal wig was not worn with the banyan. In "The Guide to Historic Costume" by Karen Baclawski the entry for 'banyan' cross references 'nightgown' and a pertinent part of the 'nightgown' entry reads: During the eighteenth century, nightgowns were referred to as 'banyans' and it is difficult to make hard and fast distinctions between the two terms. The word 'banyan' comes from India. Some banyans were made of Indian cottons, others of Scotch plaids. Another part of the entry reads: In the mid-seventeenth century, nightgowns were usually t-shaped or kimono-like garments, with wide sleeves, made from woolen cloth or imported silks. At this time, these informal garments became fashionable; they were considered exotic and were often called 'Indian gowns'. They were worn with a 'nightcap' in place of a more formal doublet or coat by a man relaxing at home or receiving visitors. Hope this helps to clarify your design ideas!

A banyan is usually a robe like garment (though the one mentioned earlier that Mr. Hutter made is quite like a coat). Banyan's are used in very informal occasions in place of the caot itself (over the small clothes). examples would be around the house, or outside if one is not intending to conduct business. Banyans are frequently worn with negligee caps, and are often seen in portraits, particularly those of scholarly types. Many look almost middle eastern (...but it's turkish!).

Thank You all so much for correkting me here. (Blushing all over) I have really made a fool of myself have i not!!! I was compleatly tricked because i thoaght when a garment was fur trimmed it would be for outdoor wear. But of cause you are right. It was very cold inside two, and i was tricked, didnt think so much about that (used to central heating :-)) Another picture tricked me, from Dress in Eighteenth Century Europe. There is a picture on page 126 and i thoaght they were banyan's but they are Greatcoats. Well such a Greatcoat, could that not have ben cut similar way? It looks as if it is t-shaped. But i dont know. Dont know much about mens wear besides from Jacket, waistcoat, Shirt and Bretches, but i am still learning. But there is a cut of a Greatcoat in "Cut of Men's Clothes" Surely i could trim a Greatcoat with Fur two? It is because i really would like to try to make something with Fur. Still blushing..............

My deepest apologies. That was the one lecture I didn't get to at that conference that I really wanted to attend. And it is quite likely that Andra mentioned the source and I forgot it.

Did you say these were 16th c.? They do look late 15th c. With tapestries, the figures might actually represent a range of dates, as cartoons were frequently re-used, and sometimes the figures recycled and rearranged into different designs with no updating, or only certain details updated. Plus it could take a *really* long time to finish a tapestry! --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 Oct 1 19:23:32 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 TAA32099 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 19:23:31 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g91NP33Y018785; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 17:25:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g91NP04w016633; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 17:25:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from saltmine.radix.net (saltmine.radix.net [207.192.128.40]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g91NOU4w016424 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 17:24:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: from lindo (ip180.sns.du.radix.net [207.192.133.180]) by saltmine.radix.net (8.12.2/8.12.2) with SMTP id g91NOQPj019919 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 19:24:29 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: X-Sender: lindo@saltmine.radix.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0 To: h-costume@indra.com From: Kevin + Mara Riley Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: Textiles in America, was copies and rare books] In-Reply-To: <200210012032.g91KWwBt021308@net.indra.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" 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, 01 Oct 2002 18:46:18 -0400 Status: RO At 01:32 PM 10/1/2002 -0700, you wrote: >Oh yes!

Look at the youngest girl, not the one that looks like Judy Garland. http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/art/m/memling/1early1/01prese1.jpg Gail Finke _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Tue Oct 1 21:33:38 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 VAA32757 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 21:33:34 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g921Z23Y026195; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 19:35:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g921Z14w000737; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 19:35:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from alpha.vaxxine.com (alpha.vaxxine.com [209.5.212.5]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g921YQ4w000576 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 19:34:27 -0600 (MDT) Received: from alderweb.vaxxine.com (ppp341.digi-t3.st-cath.niagara.net [209.5.218.87]) by alpha.vaxxine.com (8.9.2/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA20492 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 21:34:23 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <4.3.0.20021001212201.00beb580@pop.vaxxine.com> X-Sender: alderweb@pop.vaxxine.com (Unverified) X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3 To: h-costume@indra.com From: David Webb Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Subject: [h-cost] Re: Banyans - pattern 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, 01 Oct 2002 21:56:50 -0400 Status: RO Hello everyone: This thread reminds me that I purchased a banyan pattern/leaflet at Deerfield Village this summer, after seeing their small but splendid men's costume exhibit, curated by Edward F. Maeder of "An Elegant Art" fame. Granted the original was in Indian painted cotton, but still... I'm sorry I can't supply any more information - life is chaotic. We're crammed into an apartment while we build an addition to our house and my costume files and books that aren't in storage cannot be found, not even for ready money, replaced by historic architecture and interiors files and books. I checked the Historic Deerfield site, but couldn't find any reference to the publication or the exhibit, but maybe someone more tenacious may have better luck http://www.historic-deerfield.org Sheridan Alder _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Tue Oct 1 22:32:27 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 WAA00573 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 22:32:27 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g922Y13Y029919; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 20:34:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g922Y04w017674; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 20:34:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from web20205.mail.yahoo.com (web20205.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.226.60]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with SMTP id g922WE4w017166 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 20:32:14 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <20021002023214.76926.qmail@web20205.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [202.6.138.34] by web20205.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Wed, 02 Oct 2002 12:32:14 EST From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Bella?= Subject: Re: [h-cost] Need advice/suggestions for giornea pattern To: h-costume@indra.com In-Reply-To: <20020929165206.36198.qmail@web11701.mail.yahoo.com> 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, 2 Oct 2002 12:32:14 +1000 (EST) Status: RO You're welcome, glad I could help. :) Bella --- carol wrote: > > Thank you Bella for your help, the pictures were > very helpful as was the definition you sent .... > based on the information, I feel like I have a good > idea of where to go from here > Many thanks > Carol > Bella wrote:--- carol wrote: > > > Greetings one and all ..... > > Can any one suggest a website with good pictures > of > > late 15th/early 16th century Italian clothing ?

To me it looks different from what the young girls are > wearing. I think the Rene gowns are similar to the girls' examples I cited in that the dresses seem to be cut so there will be a gap when they are fully laced -- that is, they aren't meant to lace shut. But the Rene dresses are clearly underdresses. Most of the other examples seem to be intended to be top-layer formal dresses, worn either over another dress or just over a placket; it's hard to tell. And the lacing is rather casual/functional on the Rene examples, not formally/decoratively arranged. Was there another difference that caught your eye? In the example you just found (great catch!) > http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/art/m/memling/1early1/01prese1.jpg it's obviously a top layer -- the neckline is furred. I am inclined to think that the style is typical for girls because of growth and figure issues, and atypical for grown women because of inadequate bust support. That would explain the relative proportions of appearances of the style on realistic figures in art (e.g. mostly girls). But allegorical figures and nubile saints can wear anything they want! --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 Oct 1 22:56:04 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 WAA00653 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 22:56:01 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g922L23Y028843; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 20:21:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g922L04w013711; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 20:21:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from hotmail.com (f16.law8.hotmail.com [216.33.241.16]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g922KV4w013587 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 20:20:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Tue, 1 Oct 2002 19:20:26 -0700 Received: from 65.67.61.194 by lw8fd.law8.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Wed, 02 Oct 2002 02:20:25 GMT X-Originating-IP: [65.67.61.194] From: "Mary Temple" To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] help Penny Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 02 Oct 2002 02:20:26.0363 (UTC) FILETIME=[4514F4B0:01C269BA] 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, 02 Oct 2002 02:20:25 +0000 Status: RO Penny - I'm also having the same problem (as of Tuesday evening).

There seem to be two styles in use in the 18th c. One style is cut very much like a man's coat, but probably without so much interlining/structure (will need to go back and look at my books to verify that); the other is cut more in a loosely fitting T-shape, and reflects the banyan's origin as a cotton robe imported from the Orient; the examples I've seen of this style (the one at Old Deefield Village and the one in _Fitting and Proper_) are both in printed Indian cottons. I think the one Bjarne is looking at is probably teh former type, cut more like an 18th c. man's coat. That's the style that I'm going to use for that grey watered silk (or acetate, if we can't find the silk), as the fabric lends itself well to the more structured style.

That's similar to the 1920's fashion of really wide pants on the Ivy League set. Some of their trouser legs measured 22". I bet dads and mom's of that time didn't really like it at all.

I am not affiliated but feel it is unfair to him to not try and put what he said in perspective,and to not keep prospective customers from the site. He did not say a word about people with glasses are bad to look at on his main page, he talked about inauthentic glasses, and that this is not nice to look at while wearing a nice costume. He in no way insults spectacle-wearing people, he just says it doesn't look good wearing anachronistic stuff while in costume, and we had this discussion gazillions of time (so let's not gett into this again) and yes I fully agree, but as I said phuleeze not again the modern spectacle yes or no discussion, it always ends in flames (well, 99% of the time anyway). BTW, your perception of him making ppl look ugly with those glasses isn't quite right, because this is what spectacles looked like in certain periods. While I agree it looks unusual it looks totally authentic. I know some people here who have those, and it looks cool, because it looks right when they are in costume. So, please, I hope your anger has died down, because he did not offend in the way you believed he did,and I would hate to see a name possibly being blackened (just in case, because these things can possibly happen) when he actually didn't say any nasty things about spectacle-wearers.

The gap on the Rene dresses looks to me to be about the same as on the women and girls wearing the gap-laced overgowns. You don't see the top portion of the gap because of the placket over it. And with a good reproduction it's clear that the placket is a separate rectangle of a different color (black, compared to the navy of the dress), a little wider than the opening, and placed over the opening. I would assume it's pinned into place over the wide-laced gap. > I was intruiged by your mention of a woman with this style dress but a > placket UNDER it (covering the chemise) but I accidentally deleted the > letter. I'll send you a copy. I think the Magdalen is a good example, but all of the dresses I mentioned showed a non-chemise fabric under the lacings. > I guess I'm just trying to get a handle on whether this was an actual > dress or just something in this one picture. The eternal question, > huh? I think there are enough examples of the wide-gapped dresses that we can feel secure they existed.

I agree that his "sales pitch" needs a bit of work in order to attract rather than repel. He makes a good case for why _he_ wants everyone around him to be wearing his product, but he doesn't really address the question of why _they_ should want to be wearing his product. Maybe he needs to farm out the writing of his ad copy. On the other hand, I recognized most of the styles listed on the page, and he does appear to be making very close reproductions (within certain materials limitations) of artifacts that either survive or are represented in detail in artwork. Most late-medieval and Renaissance spectacles _do_ "look like a funny looking mask with circles". At the very most, the look like a pair of pince-nez designed by a carpenter. If one's goal is to wear spectacles appropriate to that era, there isn't much point in complaining that they look ugly by modern standards and aren't designed for lively activities. They are, and they weren't. I tried making my own late-medieval glasses once, but made the mistake of ordering lenses that were a bit too large to balance well. They _worked_, but I pretty much had to hold them in place while using them. (I had a hard enough time convincing the optometrist that, yes, I wanted an extra pair of lenses _without_ a frame, and, no, the antique glasses frames you can find in antique shops aren't _quite_ old enough to be medieval styles.) I may try it again at some point, although now I've got the added complication of wearing progressive bifocals, so getting the lenses aligned properly would be trickier. Having well-made, historically-accurate frames available so I don't have to fumble around making my own would be a definite plus.

He looks like he's go a great product (or will once the whole line is available), and it would be a shame if it failed to succeed because his sales pitch rubs people the wrong way.

She's presumably wearing them to help her see the needlework she's doing. That's the only one I can recall ever seeing. annora _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Oct 2 21:17:19 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 VAA22105 for ; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 21:17:19 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g931J23Y020840; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 19:19:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g931J1vF024550; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 19:19:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from grunt6.ihug.co.nz (grunt6.ihug.co.nz [203.109.254.46]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g931IrvF024497 for ; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 19:18:54 -0600 (MDT) Received: from p19-max5.akl.ihug.co.nz (michaela) [203.173.207.147] by grunt6.ihug.co.nz with smtp (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 17wudg-0006ws-00; Thu, 03 Oct 2002 13:18:52 +1200 Message-ID: <006b01c26a7a$d32273c0$93cfadcb@michaela> From: "michaela" To: References: Subject: Re: [h-cost] Re: renspecs - rant 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 6.00.2600.0000 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 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, 3 Oct 2002 13:18:45 +1200 Status: RO > Does anyone know when women would have begun wearing glasses as routinely > as men? While it's right out of period (middle ages-ren) I know that in Victorian (England anyway.. and her colonies I suspect) women wearing glasses was still looked on as a personality issue, not a need... only stong minded feamles who read need to wear... actually I think they were talking about dark glasses. I read that recently again so it may have been in Alison Gernshiem's book... And there is a Punch cartoon of a woman in severe dress with glasses. I wonder if the same feeling that it was a negative sign of who the woman was before this era? Probably for differening reasons of course. Like never make passes at girls who wear glasses after this era... I do have a scan of a photo from the very late 19thC of a woman in round Lennonesque dark glasses for a family portrait. It's from the book In True Colonial Fashion about New Zealand fashion. I hope this works, I just uploaded it to a liquid2k account... This is a really bad service btw for uploading.. you have to use their online manager which often doesn't actually work... but you can direct link;) OK, so it's not working at all..

Yes, most of the spectacles resemble some I've seen pictures of... but there's at least one that doesn't seem "right" to me... besides the leather mask one. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that all of them were a mask-like look. It's just the leather one on the right that is just "wrong" (at least IMHO... and I don't see how it would work right either, since the lenses appear to be located such that they'd end up getting skin oils on them easily, and rub against eyelashes at the least in a noticable way.) The other thing that bothered me about the whole sales pitch is that he is apparently unaware that the glasses he shows are completely impractical for anyone who is doing anything beyond sitting and watching/reading/writing. Leaning over even to stitch, I'd be very likely to lose anything resembling those prop on nose glasses. In period they were not meant to be used for activewear either. I doubt (or at least hope) that he has a comprehension that an inability to see properly is just as handicapping as many other physical handicaps... we're just fortunate that in this modern age, it's one that can be mostly overcome by the technology available at a reasonable price. If I knock my glasses off the table when I'm not wearing them (and I do occasionally read or stitch for short periods without them still), I often can *not* find them without assistance, or much raking of the ground with my hand. Wearing something that sat on my nose, even with the fairly thick frames would be begging for trouble. (Things need to be about a foot from my nose to be in focus... on a good day maybe I can manage an extra inch or two....) Sigh... most folks just beg glasses wearers to wear contacts... which is out for me as well... No offense meant... just very rubbed the wrong way by his sales pitch. To be honest, I'd be unlikely to buy any of those glasses for the reasons I say above, beyond that bit of irritation that was not so graciously put. -Elisabeth _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Oct 2 22:21:40 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 WAA22472 for ; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 22:21:39 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g932M33Y023889; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 20:22:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g932M1vF011859; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 20:22:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from rastaban.dandy.net (rastaban.dandy.net [209.128.224.29]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g932LWvF011737 for ; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 20:21:33 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dandy.net (phil2175.dialup.dandy.net [66.28.137.175]) by rastaban.dandy.net (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g932LSVn020896 for ; Wed, 2 Oct 2002 22:21:29 -0400 Message-ID: <3D9BA703.50E15290@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: renspecs - rant References: <20021002095700.24370.34883.Mailman@net.indra.com> <3D9B25B7.1020407@comcast.net> 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, 02 Oct 2002 22:10:12 -0400 Status: RO Hi. This happens to be one of my areas of interest. I know it is sad that the gentleman in question seems to need to "market" his product. There are only two of his products that I would feel comfortable about supporting, historically. These would be the bone frames (Trig Lane style) and the brass frames. As I have noted before, these styles, although historically correct for the "Renaissance" period, are not for corrective optometry as we know it now. For costume purposes, these items fill a need. Since vision correction is not the same today as it was 350+ years ago, the idea of trying to sell to the myopic/hyperopic/presbyopic community is not the same. It would be nice to see period frames, but if you see them in such frequency as are seen nowadays (both in modern context and at reenactments), you would have a wrong idea of vision correction as it was accomplished years back. I have seen American Civil War events that had a 40% attendance of reenactors with glasses. I seriously doubt that real combatants at that time were that poorly visioned, and at that great a volume. Sorry that the page bugs you, but don't forget, the Web is, for all of our wishes, not the perfect resource that we would wish. I don't think he is trying to preach, but merely trying to change perceptions. This is good, but in a limited way.

I do have an opinion on this subject, but I am going to keep it to myself. Nicole had tried to stop this from becoming a should wear, shouldn't wear debate as we have had those in the past on this very subject. All that is acheived is anger and flames. This list has a diverse membership with very differing opinions on even what is meant by HISTORIC COSTUMING, let alone the levels of required authenticity. It is important to remember that here. Our venues and uses of Historic costuming is just as varied, and that does affect, and should affect the required authenticity. (I feel somewhat hypocritical posting that here, when I just complained about Hollywood's authenticity on another list). I will give my opinion on the add though ;) ! I did not find it offensive (maybe I would if I wore glasses) but I did find it poor salesmanship (and I was a salesman for years before I was blessed with my current employment). Like many have said, it stressed far to much the affect on others, rather than on the wearer. He even made the suggestion at the bottom that people should buy these for others! When I am working I try to maintain authenticity for other people. That is because I am tasked with teaching. When I am playing I try to be authentic for myself. The same pitch could have, and should have been made in that mode.

In "Sofonisba Anguissola: The First Great Woman Artist of the Renaissance" by Ilya Sandra Perlingieri, (Rizzoli, NY) on page 45, there is a monochrome plate of a drawing by Anguissola circa 1545, entitled "Self portrait with old woman", in which the "old woman" wears spectacles on her nose - the type that perch precariously on the nose, as seen in the renspecs web site.

A wheelwright in our living history group wears specs like that, with ear loops, to work in, apparently without problems. I wear contact lenses for my very short sight. I now use reading glasses, but can still manage without for LH purposes, though I think I may have to get some period ones soon. Isn't there a Rembrandt portrait of an old lady reading with glasses?

But I think it's a more appealing garment, serving the same purpose. I suspect "banyan" was sometimes used as an all-encompassing term for "dressing gown."

Something else to consider is that in this period, most spectacles were to correct for farsightedness -- in other words, those of us who are myopic would be out of luck. So we'd be stumbling around bumping into people and things ;) Most/all of the pictures I can recall off hand of men wearing spectacles from the 17th c. or earlier show them wearing them for reading, or seeing up close; they most likely wouldn't have worn them for other activities, I'd think. Personally, I wear my antique early 19th c. (oval) frames for reenacting earlier periods, too -- or else wear my contacts, which I realize isn't an option for everyone. I know that the frames are not absolutely 100% authentic for the earlier periods, but I don't think most tourists are going to stop to think twice about it; whereas if I were wearing my modern glasses, they would probably notice. -- Mara On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, Robin Netherton wrote: > > Since most of the people responding on this thread are female, I am > wondering: Is there any documentation (visual or written) of women wearing > glasses in the Middle Ages or Renaissance?

Five of them, in fact- 4 of the "Dread Herjolfernes", and one apron dress to go over 2 of the former. And the day before they're needed, too! I made 2 Herjolfernes-based things each for my husband and me. His are about knee-length and lack the center inset panel- he really didn't need or want the extra fullness, since this is a working weekend (an SCA metalsmithing event). Mine are a short ankle-length and have the center inset. We each have a green one and a heavier brown one, with different trim- his brown has dark green, and his dark green has navy and bright green; my brown has brick red and my green has grey. I'm planning to add some narrow purple trim to my green at some point, though- I've been using the green-white-and-purple color combination every now and again, since those are the (very OOP) suffragist colors and so a bit of a personal joke OOP. The fabrics are a decent cotton twill. The apron dress is a fancy--weave denim, somewhat shorter than my dresses. I like making up the Herjolfernes- apart from the trim, it takes maybe an hour or 2. Of course, the trim can add an hour or more, and is really necessary to finish the sleeves and neck hole.... Now I need to make some more brooches, both to use on my dresses and as samples for the brooch class I'm teaching... -Amanda event novice _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Thu Oct 3 20:37:51 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 UAA15780 for ; Thu, 3 Oct 2002 20:37:51 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g940dN3Y014179; Thu, 3 Oct 2002 18:39:24 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g940dATp017617; Thu, 3 Oct 2002 18:39:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: from web20202.mail.yahoo.com (web20202.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.226.57]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with SMTP id g940cITp017335 for ; Thu, 3 Oct 2002 18:38:19 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <20021004003818.21167.qmail@web20202.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [202.6.138.34] by web20202.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Fri, 04 Oct 2002 10:38:18 EST From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Bella?= To: h-costume@indra.com In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Subject: [h-cost] 3D Historical 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 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, 4 Oct 2002 10:38:18 +1000 (EST) Status: RO Greetings to the list, I haven't been on this list long, and don't post all that often, so forgive me if what I'm about to tell you about you all already know about. :) The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, has a "Virtual Viewings" feature that I just discovered last night. You can choose between "Virtual Excursions", "Virtual Exhibitions" and, and most exciting one, "Gallery of 3-D Images". When you click on that one you have several items or groups of items from the museum's collection to choose from to view in 3-D. The one of relevance to us here is of course costume related - the "Dresses by Lamanova", Lamanova being "one of the most talented couturiers of the turn of the 20th century. In 1885, when she was barely 24 years old, she opened her own atelier in Moscow." There are 8 dresses to look at - from a broadcloth visiting dress, to several evening dresses, and a couple of ball gowns thrown in for good measure. On each you can view the gown as it slowly rotates in front of you, and for each dress there are two or more views available, so you can see a general view, or a close up of the embroidery, or the collar, or a sleeve, etc. Enjoy! :) Bella http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

It was a lot of fun this year and I learned a lot. For instance, it is probably best not to go to an event like that with a half finished costume and expect to finish it for Saturday night. While I managed to finish a medieval costume for Saturday, I did not finish my Victorian bodice for Sunday. and, I spent too much time in my room sewing. I took one class where we wrote poetry about each others outfits, that was a little weird, but fabric landscaping was unexpectedly fabulous. If you do Elizabethan, Cheryl Looney was a really good teacher. I have gotten a lot out of it both years that I have gone.

There are various suppliers in the UK who will take your prescription (and a cheque), and return you a pair of prescription "period" glasses. I assume they work with a friendly optician.

I've seen other members of my society in various period styles too. I think Mara's was the most sensible suggestion. If a reenactor can't wear contacts and doesn't want to have a period pair made, they could at least wear round or oval frames, which look less incongruous than modern shapes.

No, not at all. Tamboured means that it is made with a tambour hook. It looks very similar to chain stitch, but is faster. Tambour work was often done in the 18th c. in India and the brightly coloured embroidered fabrics and garments then shipped over to England. You can still get tambour hooks, but they are specialist items. I was lucky finding some (they come with changeable hoks for different sizes) in London.

These looked much like a raccoon mask :-) with the ear pieces being strips of ribbon with small drop shaped weights that held them onto her face. Since she was in the military the lenses were actually the type that were made for gas masks, and came to her free. This was done in the spirit of "experiment". She was surprised and pleased at the actual result. The frames held the lenses up very close to her eyes, and actually allowed her to see better than her regular pair with less uncorrected peripheral vision. The weights well for fairly sedentary pursuits like reading, sewing, and some cooking. Dancing was "right out!" Granted, she looked a bit like Ricky Raccoon while wearing them, she had a blast discovering how a period style actually worked. Experimental archeology/Living history. I'd say if you had the inclination this might be a fun addition to your persona. If not, for me at least, glasses are pretty invisible. Regina Romsey "You forgot the first rule of a fanatic.

Lots of nice stuff I wouldn't have to make myself! Their Herjolfernes is a later look than the ones I did- mine have no buttons (although I left the sleeves open a way up on one of mine, to be pinned or sewn closed) and have a round neck hole with a front slit. On mine the front and back insets start up higher, just below the bustline, since they're not competing with the front buttons. This makes it much looser fitting. The sleeves on mine are looser too, and I added probably-inauthentic tiny pleats at the top of mine, though not Justin's; I also used underarm gussets and just did the sleeve seam under the arm. I was interested to see that they use only 2 gores under each arm- I thought i was cheating when i did it! The way I did it I could "cut" out most of the pieces by tearing, and the few pieces that weren't rectangular themselves were straight cuts in rectangles. Fast! I did take the time to serge all the edges, trimming the part the tearing made wonky. I'll try to get some pics this weekend! -Amanda _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Fri Oct 4 10:23:42 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 KAA01141 for ; Fri, 4 Oct 2002 10:23:42 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g94EP13Y016822; Fri, 4 Oct 2002 08:25:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g94EP0lq005471; Fri, 4 Oct 2002 08:25:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from web21308.mail.yahoo.com (web21308.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.128.174]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with SMTP id g94EMKlq004390 for ; Fri, 4 Oct 2002 08:22:20 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <20021004142220.70221.qmail@web21308.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [65.25.104.16] by web21308.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Fri, 04 Oct 2002 07:22:20 PDT From: kate To: h-costume@indra.com In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: [h-cost] flat-felled seams 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: ailith@neo.rr.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, 4 Oct 2002 07:22:20 -0700 (PDT) Status: RO Greetings!

Lo and behold, they are flat-felled. I remember reading in the Schlabow book that those finds could be dated back to the 3rd century at least on germany finds, if I am not completely mistaken. Also, the early 17th c shift on display in the Britisg gallery at the V&A is flat felled too.

Does anyone know if >flat-felled seams are an old seam technique or is it >modern? My "arcaheological sewing" article (on Cynthia's site) doesn't really cover as late as the Elizabethan era, so I can't speak to that aspect particularly. By far and away _the_ most common and widespread seam for joining wool (from the Bronze Age up through the Medieval period) was a group of techniques closely akin to a felled seam. There are a few significant differences, however, between a modern felled seam and the ones I studied. The historic seam-group doesn't normally depend on anything equivalent to a straight running seam, but rather uses a hem stitch sewing each folded edge to the flat fabric. (Sometimes there is top-stitching added to this, but the basic version is two rows of hem stitching.) So, defining the seam in terms of "overlap the two pieces of fabric with the raw edges folded to the inside", the flat felled seam is an extremely widespread and typical seam for woolen fabrics at least up through the medieval period. But the visual aspect of modern flat felled seams that involves two parallel visible straight seams is not one that appears to have been typical.

This is of course a very modern technique which doesn't make a lot of sense without a sewing machine. Historical flat felled seams that I have seen are more like those described as medeivial, at least as late as the U.S. Federal Army blouse of the 1860s. The unlined versions of these are flat felled without the parrallel stiches, even when machine were used.

Does anyone have a drawing? because I am not sure anymore that we >are talking about the same thing. maybe I am thinking of something else??? I don't know -- the way I was taught to make a modern, machine-sewn flat-felled seam is: - wrong sides together, sew a straight seam - trim one side of the seam allowance slightly, fold the other over towards it - flatten the seam allowance and top-stitch along the edge of the fold You end up with two parallel visible lines of sewing on the right side of the fabric: the original seam and the top-stitched seam. Since the original question wasn't specific on that point, I wanted to distinguish between what the fabric is doing and what the stitches are doing. Someone else mentioned shirts and shifts -- I'd like to point out that, in my research for the Arcahaeological Sewing article, there tended to be a clear distinction between the set of seam types used for wool and the set used for linen. (Hem types were more similar between the two.) Seams in wool often assumed the anti-ravelling properties of that fabric, while seams in linen often involved elaborate mechanisms to avoid leaving raw edges exposed in any way.

Once you've forwarded the information to them via e-mail, follow up with a phone call if at all possible this will emphasize your desire for action in this matter and can help get your posts dug out of the e-mail slush pile much more rapidly. I had the privilege of working with several individuals from the FBI over the past month in regards to matters relating to threats to local mosques and synagogues on or around the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attack. While the FBI isn't my favorite Federal organization by any stretch of the mind, the vast majority of their agents who are actually in the field working are honest and hard working folk who actually do understand that their job is to enforce Federal laws for the People of the United States. The situation you're describing is not a large criminal endeavor in terms of Federal jurisdiction but make no mistake, it most certainly has crossed into Federal bounds. The second these people deliberately bounced a check outside the state of their home of record, "poof", crossing interstate lines for felonious purposes. While I most certainly can't speak for any of the Feds and can't honestly even guarantee that they'll look at your situation. I can guarantee that if they do get involved, people are going to truly wish they'd just stayed in California. As the investigation of this type of crime is fairly straight forward and defenses are very limited, it's in the interest of both the FBI and the Justice Department to take this kind of case. Don't be afraid to emphasize that to them if they don't seem enthralled by the seriousness of your concerns. Don't be afraid to come right out and say, "listen pinhead, you've got a simple, one agent interview, grab some rubber checks for evidence, get the bank's local field office to get the security tapes of the account being opened, ten man hour investigation with a ridiculously high probability of a conviction." Perhaps not phrasing it exactly that way. I'm not feeling particularly PC this afternoon. Also, forward it to the State Police and Attorney's General of each of the States involved. I don't have their contact info handy but it's readily available on the web. As someone who's worked with and around small merchants for a lot of my life, I know how much this kind of thing can hurt a person's business. The fact that the account holder's name is an alias just frosts my butt that much more. I truly dislike people taking advantage of the folks who can least afford it. It brings out my dislike for bullies and televangelists. Cairbre.

[note: no, surgical tools were well enough advanced by the victorian period that a nail would be extremely unlikely.] >From Valerie Steele's _Fetish_, pg 69: Even when elements of a particular story are plausible, fantastic details are superimposed. The "governess" at "Madame La B---'s school just outside Paris" wrote to _Society_ in 1899 to describe "Tight-Lacing and the Latest Craze," that of having one's "tetons" pierced by "jewelers in the Rue St. Honore/." Some people do pierce their nipples, of course, and this was a popular topic in 1899 among correspondants to _Society_. But when the "governess" says that the practice had been described in _La Vie parisienne_ and in a recent "roman," I cannot help wondering if she is just repeating an idea that she read about. Nor is it likely that the breast-rings in her pierced nipples, together with "the friction of my lingerie" had caused her bust to grow. [I will note that nipple piercing _can indeed_ cause an apparent increase in bust size. A number of women in my personal experience have noted it, and a few noticed it because they had only _one_ nipple pierced at the time.] For background, _Modern Society_ was a fetishists' magazine. Steele points out that there isn't much _external evidence_ for the stories printed in _Society_ and _London Life_. On the next page, she notes: But why should we believe that the EDM letters are strictly factual at all? It's well recognized that many of the letters in present-day sex magazines are made up by the editors, while others represent heavily fictionalized versions of personal accounts. >From page 71: In 1899, A Woman Of Fifty wrote to _Society_ to describe her experiences at a "fashionaable finishing school" in the early 1860s, during "one of the periodic cycles of tight-lacing, as may be gathered from the correspondance which appeared in 'The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine' about this time." She went on to refer to many of the cult elements that played a role in the fetishist literature. There was the ritualistic invocation of the sexy and sadistic "mistress" of the tight-lacing finishing school, which was populated by perverse but aristocratic young ladies and occasionally men dressed as women. The ubiquitious French governess, Mademoiselle de Beauvoir, appeared with a "13-inch waist," although otherwise "plump." "Birching...was an openly recognized punishment." Breast-rings--the current enthusiasm of correspondants to _Society_--were worn by "three French girls, daughters of a marquise." As I wrote in my first book, I do not doubt that real fetishists did many of the things they described in their letters; tight-laced, had themselves pierced and whipped, cross-dressed. But I doubt whether they did so under the circumstances that they described; at the tight-lacing boarding school, in the bosom of the aristocratic family, and at the hands of Mademoiselle de Beavoir. In other words, while the practice may have existed, it's unlikely that it was "all the rage." The only evidence I've ever seen presented all comes from the various fetishist publications of the time.

Hi, All. Mara, I am researching this area. If you have any documentation to support the idea that 16th and 1st half 17th Cent. eyeglasses were doing any corrective work other than magnifying (i.e. correcting farsighted vision), please share the source with me. Please don't bother these other folks unless they want the info also. I don't want to beat this thread up with off topic stuff. BTW, I hope that no one misconstrued my last post (Ron?). I was commenting on the styles made available by the merchant as compared to archaeological finds of the period of which I am aware, as well as his style of salesmanship, which was noted by a previous person in a previous post, not attempting to tell anyone what is gospel truth in eyewear, or what to buy or not. If I am not being clear in my posts, I once again apologise. I don't have an excuse regarding language, as I am an English speaker (as some would have it) Mike T. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Fri Oct 4 23:31:18 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 XAA05274 for ; Fri, 4 Oct 2002 23:31:18 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g953X43Y022124; Fri, 4 Oct 2002 21:33:04 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g953X0oW011757; Fri, 4 Oct 2002 21:33:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp.comcast.net (smtp.comcast.net [24.153.64.2]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g953WNoW011636 for ; Fri, 4 Oct 2002 21:32:24 -0600 (MDT) Received: from comcast.net (pcp234948pcs.elictc01.md.comcast.net [68.55.182.133]) by mtaout03.icomcast.net (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.1 HotFix 1.4 (built Aug 5 2002)) with ESMTP id <0H3H00L13OHTOB@mtaout03.icomcast.net> for h-costume@indra.com; Fri, 04 Oct 2002 23:32:18 -0400 (EDT) From: Liz / Cozit To: h-costume@indra.com Message-id: <3D9E5D43.8090503@comcast.net> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-Accept-Language: en-us, en User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0 References: <20021005015601.21001.75281.Mailman@net.indra.com> Subject: [h-cost] OT for most of us....Re:the post about bad checks 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, 04 Oct 2002 23:32:19 -0400 Status: RO Rest assured, the FBI has been involved in it already...

It is difficult and often impossible to prove the negative, and so where scholarly documentation is concerned, it falls to those making the claim of the practice. I did not check the webpages you mentioned, and have no interest to, but did they give documentation for their claims? Webpages by the way, are useless as documentation (though better ones cite sources). Anybody can put anything on the web. Typically they quote each other or often the same source. My Great Uncle for instance (Jackie Condon) is listed on several "Little Rascals" and silent film sites as having died in 1978. He is still living today in Las Vegas. Genealogy pages are filled with errors! I would be even more suspect of the sort of webpage you mention. Before any peirced people get offended, that is not the part I refer to. What I mean are the webpages that are about some modern craft, hobby, art, etc. that has a page listing it's history. These are often posted by people with little interest in history quoting secondary sources that are about the modern craft, hobby, or art, and not its history. I am sure that some of you have seen what I mean before.

Think the edges of the pieces had tiny, tiny hems, and then they were stitched together with a very small seam--didn't look like anything but a regular seam, as much as I could see, squinting through the glass and salivating. The woman's shift has got insets of linen and silk bobbin lace along all of the major seams (side seams of body, armscyes, outer center of sleeves). The lace is connected to the linen on either side with buttonhole stitching. I *think* there's a more ordinary seam under the arm for the regular seam (as opposed to the decorative one on the outside). I'd have to dig out my notes and double-check. Does that make sense? I also got the impression, with both of them, of fairly narrow (rolled?) hems. I've also seen good closeup pix. of the boy's shirt that the V&A *used* to have on display (grumble, grumble). On it, the pieces of fabric were joined with this interesting embroidery stitch that looked a bit like some of the faggoting/buttonhole stitches I've been able to find in modern embroider books (although I've not found anything that looked exactly like it). I have read that this was a fairly common method of joining the pieces of these shirts and smocks. Dunno about earlier stuff, but there sure are a fair number of pictures showing this, if you look for it! (Sorry, tried to ascii-art it, but it didn't work! ) Essentially, the embroidery stitch wanders back and forth, regularly, between the two abutting edges, catching them both, but alternating. Does that make *any* sense at all? --Sue, forever and always completely obsessed with blackwork.....

If you are speaking of the 1540's Boy's shirt which used to be on display at the V&A (until they took it out to put in 20th C evening dresses from what Drea told me), it has simple seaming which is opened out and then overstitched with embroidery. It can be clearly seen in at least one blackwork book (although I can't find it although I tried to find the reference last week for Drea). No faggotting on that one. (Later ones are more likely to have it anyway, especially Elizabethan/Jacobean ones.) Most of the things I've seen have either had a lining (so they wouldn't use flat-felling as a seam treatment), used overcast stitches (Elizabethan "serging") on the edges of opened out seams, or were reinforced by applying trim over them (so that it is a strong seam, which is part of the function of flat-felling.) Doesn't mean that it never occurred in that time frame, but I haven't seen extant garments with it.

Aw...Mike I was afraid that by using your post as my springboard that I would give you the wrong idea.... I was not referring to your post really, but to a worry of what might rear it's head. It looked like it was beginning (I won't wear those they are ugly, but you should they are correct, etc...). These sorts of arguments are useless on the list. What are more useful are some of the threads that have spun off of the subject (ARE these period designs, Do women wear them, why are they worn, what are alternatives, etc). I suspect you and I in fact have very similar thoughts regarding the authenticity topic! Along those lines, I also would not refrain from continuing your above mentioned discussion online. Glasses I would argue can be part of costume, and I do not think that any would have objections to discussing what period glasses are, or how they were worn or used in period. It's discussions regarding weather or not they must be worn know that get nasty!

I think it was I've Got a Secret. BTW, for those who are fans of 1950s/early 60s fashions, Game Show Network is repeating the series, What's My Line from its beginning. The show was on the air 17 years. The old black & white TV shows start at 4AM to 6AM East Coast time. The three shows airing now are: I've Got a Secret, What's My Line, and To Tell the Truth. You can pick up on a lot of fashion designers of the time as guests. Right now, What's My Line is in the original broadcast year, 1953. Margaret Thurman was a mystery guest yesterday. She looked so lovely and her hairstyle was wonderful. What is so wonderful about these shows is that they will show the latest fashions. Mary Quant was a guest one night when she first introduced the mini-skirt. Because these shows were broadcast out of NYC, you will catch a lot of Broadway and film stars. One night Bette Davis was the mystery guest and she had on the flowing gown. I laughed myself silly as she walked over to meet the panel... she gracefully threw the skirt out in front of her, took a couple of steps, and then threw the skirt out again. So dramatic of an exit for Bette. A couple of unusual fashion firsts on the shows.... 1. A dress with over 10,000 optical lights... this was the 50s. These were lights like you see those fiber optic strand balls in Spensers. 2. Last night a lady was on I've Got a Secret... her cocktail dress was made of 100 something pairs of nylon hose. The ladies in the town donated their hose so she could made the dress. She described how she made the dress. The bodice was the hose made in a basket weave. I couldn't figure out how she made the bottom. A big way to tell the broadcast year is that it is mentioned sometimes, but you can also tell by what film they say is premiering. Then hope over to imdb.com and put in the name of the film. The site will tell you the year it was premiered. Now to top it off... my husband and I love to watch Gunsmoke at 6AM on TVLand to pick out who is wearing the wrong fashions for the period.

Thanks, Ron. I was hoping that I hadn't been misunderstood. You are right about the number of things (accuracy and the like). We most probably are of the same opinion. I certainly don't want to get into an issue about looks or taste in items of apparel, regardless of who wears or sells them. The sellers pitch has been discussed, and apparently he has been made aware of the perceived shortcomings. As a side note. I do have some archaeological info on glasses for anyone who is interested. Sent me a private e-mail for further info. Mike T.

Your best bet is to contact Gwen personally (she's the clothing person in the business), but I believe that she does serging for the inside seams of some of her products. The reason for this, I would guess, is to keep costs down and still meet the reenactor "5 foot rule" for clothing. I don't doubt that, for an additional charge, she would probably do handwork on unexposed seams, but I know that she is very careful not to have any machine work exposed on her gear. She has taken great pains to make the patterns to keep the garments this way. I can't think of any other "serious" historical commercial clothing companies whose work I have seen. There are some folks out there that will do "spot on" recreations of clothing, and you pay the price for hand work. Others are working from the other end, not because they don't care, but because the requirements aren't so stringent. Just my 2 cents.

The arachne lace list i am on, is disgussing a dress portraied in a painting of Maria Theresia. I thoaght, when i am on a costume list to pass on the question. There is a portrait of Empress Maria Theresia of Austria (Marie Antoinettes mother) at Schönbrunn in Wienna. she is wearing a specktakular court dress where the skirt wich is over a huge panier has beautifull beautifull laces applyed to the fabric. Not in ruches and not gathered or pleated, but applyed so that the lace comes to its best look. I think the portrait is in Santina Levey's huge book about the history of lace. Well i mostly have costume books, and i wondered is there a costume book where this portrait would be in? Or is there an online place where i could se this? The arachne list wondered if any know what happened to this dress, it would have presented a vast fortune.

It depends on the qualities of the fabrics. But to be honest most of them are serged. This is obviously not historically accurate. While I create clothing that gives the wearer a historic siloheutte I do not state outright that anything is historically accurate unless it is. It is much easier to be historically accurate for me, if it is a time period after the sewing machine was invented. :D Historic accuracy to me means you create the garment as it would have been created during the era it is duplicating, right down to the method of stitches. I can not afford to hand sew garments that are replicating the Tudor era and then be successful commercially. Now if someone wishes an item to be completely historically correct they let me know and it is priced accordingly.

Museum Quality: Design, materials and methods are identical to those of the time and place one is attempting to represent. As an example this would involve
copying an original garment down to the last stitch.

Acceptable Quality: Having one or more variations from museum quality, which does not significantly detract from its use in historic representation. This
might allow garments with a modern material lining or synthetic thread, but which have the exact look of the original

Marginal Quality: Having one or more variations from museum quality or subject to questionable interpretations of historic fact, which significantly detracts
from its use. The use of incorrect weight material, change in design or fit which are noticeable on close inspection, or incorrect materials for buttons, fall into this category.

Unacceptable: Anything which is unquestionably wrong, ie polyester materials, modern shirts, modern eyeglasses, wrist watches, chromed metals, mobile
phones, stay-brite buttons.

Gosh I hate it when I don't know all the English terms and probably never will. I though this time was French seams? definitely muddling things up here. I didn't mean clipping on one side, and don't mean sewing down either, but blindstitching it on.

Absolutely, and it is actually pretty liogical, even if bot knowing about seam types being used (mainly talking Anglo-Saxon 6th-8th c here, and earlier germanic bog finds) it just does not work! Linen seams just don't work on wool and vice versa.

I know about the Renaissance influence of which you speak. That's where we get terms like 'van dyked' for lace in zig-zag points. But I think this jacket stopped being Victorian/Edwardian a while ago, and now qualifies as 'mixed media'. I am very fond of Victorian/Edwardian-does-Renaissance, as it happens. I recently posted about an e-bay set of garments which were Edwardian-made for some Renaissance theatrical use. Somewhere on the figurative back burner I have an 1880s theatrical costume photo I'd really like to recreate and wear. It is a charming mix of periods, with a stomacher, puff-and-slash shoulders and elbows, lace frills on the shoulder-edges of the neckline like Emperess Josephine might have worn, and a potholder-like thing on the head a' la Marie Stuart. The the lines of the dress are otherwise very 1880s, as is the hair of the wearer.

This got me all confused, since I thought French and felled were the same. So I went and looked in a book (!) RTFM, and so on, as I say to my users. Run & Fell seam: start right sides together, one edge longer than the other, fold the overlap down to touch the first line of stitches, iron flat, hem into place. French seam: start with *wrong* side together and the same length. Do first line of stitches. Fold the other way along the join, and do another line of stitches so as to enclose the raw edges. The result isn't flat. Oh, and the next one listed is a "mantua makers seam". Put right sides together, edges level. And do a hem with both pieces together, making sure your stitches go through all layers of the double material. Looks like a French seam when done. So I've learnt something new today! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Sun Oct 6 18:33:12 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 SAA02226 for ; Sun, 6 Oct 2002 18:33:12 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g96MZ13Y017746; Sun, 6 Oct 2002 16:35:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g96MZ07C009430; Sun, 6 Oct 2002 16:35:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from falcon.mail.pas.earthlink.net (falcon.mail.pas.earthlink.net [207.217.120.74]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g96MYv7C009410 for ; Sun, 6 Oct 2002 16:34:57 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dialup-209.247.138.165.dial1.sanjose1.level3.net ([209.247.138.165]) by falcon.mail.pas.earthlink.net with esmtp (Exim 3.33 #1) id 17yJzD-00016x-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Sun, 06 Oct 2002 15:34:56 -0700 User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2022 Subject: Re: [h-cost] Maria Theresia Dress From: Nadine Pelikan To: Message-ID: In-Reply-To: <002e01c26d2d$ff598d10$4096fea9@CPQ21932199711> Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by net.indra.com id g96MYv7C009410 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: Sun, 06 Oct 2002 15:34:02 -0700 Status: RO Bjarne, I think the portrait you are referring to can be found on pg. 10 of _Lace the Elegant Web_ by Janine Montupet and Ghislaine Schoeller.

Yes, when I last saw her work several years ago, she was using serging on seams that don't show from the outside. However, she welcomes custom orders, and will, for a price, make it as authentic as you like, up to and including completely handstitching the garment.

Correct? I would say yes to that. Most of the serious costumers I know have sergers, which they got to make costume seams easier. In fact, the only time it really matters what your seams look like on the inside is when you have to show them to a workmanship judge at a CostumeCon. Short of that, who is ever going to see them? I happen to like hand-stitched hand-finished seams, and since I am unemployed I have the time to do them. While this means I can't afford the services of a pro-costumer, I can't fault their hourly rate, having spent that many hours on my own costumes. When I win the lottery, I will never sew my own costumes again - I'll offer to set my favourite costumer up in a shop somewhere and pay her to make them for me.

Yes, I know how Klez works. But as I said, perhaps not too clearly, my email program enables me to read the hidden headers and determine the actual computer of origin of the infected messages. I've gotten about 10 messages in the last week or two that have this particular computer in the origin headers, though the visible "From" line is always a different name (another random address from the person's addressbook). --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Sun Oct 6 23:25:22 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 XAA03611 for ; Sun, 6 Oct 2002 23:25:21 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g973R23Y001976; Sun, 6 Oct 2002 21:27:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g973R07C011060; Sun, 6 Oct 2002 21:27:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dc-mx10.cluster1.charter.net (dc-mx10.cluster1.charter.net [209.225.8.20]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g973QY7C010956 for ; Sun, 6 Oct 2002 21:26:34 -0600 (MDT) Received: from [66.189.36.255] (HELO [192.168.1.103]) by dc-mx10.cluster1.charter.net (CommuniGate Pro SMTP 3.5.9) with ESMTP id 3305472; Sun, 06 Oct 2002 23:26:28 -0400 Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: amandaf@pop.charter.net Message-Id: In-Reply-To: References: To: h-costume@indra.com From: sustre@pixelations.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] OT: Do you know this person?

The only thing that's seemed to work for me is this: look up the domain in the email and find out who owns the ISP it's on. Go to the ISP's site and poke around until you find their "Acceptable Use Policy". Write to the ISP and tell them that one of their customers is sending you bunches of unsolicited infected mail, and quote the parts of their policy that this is violating. Paste in a copy of the header with the person's email address and the tracking info. Repeat with every new piece you get from this person. So far this has worked for the handful of people where it's become a real problem. I'll add that without using pretty strong language, and quoting their policy back to them, they tended to brush me off. Using words like "harassment" and "interfering with my business email" seemed to get their attention, but using the language in their own policy and attributing it to the appropriate section etc. was vital, as was asking them to enforce it. I've really hated to have to do this, especially since I know it's all virus-driven and so in a sense not their fault. But in some cases, there's no other option- it's just too much, for too long, and no end in sight.

Okay, yes, I do mean run & fell then, but I never clip one side or start with one being longer, and I would never use a machine to sew it down, where's the poin, it's visible then! I always blindstitch by hand very carefully down. Anyway, you got me thinking, maybe I will do a run & fell on my Queen shift and farthingale which I all got out at Teddy's yesterday.

I see serger finishes alot and for the most part have really mixed feelings about them. Since I do do my own work I understand the time versus money angle....but have seen some serger finishes that have pulled off the edge of the fabric. Sometimes the seam allowances are cut so narrow to accomodate the seam and overcast in one stitch (sorry, don't know what it's called) that the seams pull out and then fray. I realize this doesn't usually happen on wool but some of the brocades and other slick fabrics which fray easily really need deeper seam allowances. I always recommend to people to ask what type of seam finishes they're getting when they order something. For the museum reproductions we can use a sewing machine as our period is late enough for that but the seam finishes were still done by hand at that time (1840s), particularly the curved seams. The use of selvedges does eliminate some of the hand finishing, saves fabric and is period. I haven't found evidence of machine finished seams in my museum's clothing collection, which is very small, does anyone know when finishing seams with a second row of stitching 1/8th inch away from the seam came into use?

The Plictho from 1548 documents dyeing recipes for linen, but no one on the list had seen evidence/citations prior to this, if I remember correctly. (And I may not, it is still early and I haven't had enough caffeine yet.) There were several quotes that I came across is the Museum of London Textiles and Clothing this weekend that seemed to hint at the possibility of colored linen. On page 96, "...this argues against the use of linen thread, which was frequently left undyed," which tantalizingly seems to imply that it *might* have been dyed. Then, on page 151, "Linen thread supplied to the Wardrobe came in a variety of colors," - it could be natural color variation, but that doesn't seem to be what's implied here. Then, while tracking down one of the references, I found a citation for *black* linen thread: plate 159 Linen cloth with Lower Saxon coats-of-arms and mythical beasts in hexagonal frames formed of roses and fleur-de-lys. Kloster Isenhagen, second quarter of the 14th century 121 x 165 cm Hexagon: 41.5 cm Linen. White and *black( linen thread; strongly twisted woolen thread in red, green, yellow and blue. Brick, couching and stem stitches: satin stitch forming patterns. (emphasis mine) Lit.: M. Schuette, Gestickte Bildteppiche des Mittelalters, Leipzig 1930, II, p. 41, Pl. 25 - von Falke in Pantheon VIII, (1931), p.371. This was in the Schuette book - Schuette, Marie and Sigrid Muller-Christensen, A Pictorial History of Embroidery, Frederick A. Praeger, New York, 1964. I checked the other embroideries in this section of the book, but this was the only one that specifically mentioned colored linen thread. It may sound like a silly question, but is there any chance this could have occurred naturally? If not, then do we conclude that there was *some* way to dye linen during this time?

One of the reasons why it had always been assumed that it was white or offwhite thread that was always used is because so often the extant garments were stitched with thread which appeared to be that color. *Appeared* is the operative word here, because when they actually test the threads they are finding that there are remnants of dyestuffs in them. One of the biggest examples is the Civil War garments stitched with off white thread. It turns out that most of them were actually stitched with logwood dyed thread, but logwood on linen fades out to a brown, grey or off white color. > Then, while tracking down one of the references, I found a citation > for *black* linen thread: > > plate 159 > Linen cloth with Lower Saxon coats-of-arms and mythical beasts in > hexagonal frames formed of roses and fleur-de-lys.

While you can get some coloring naturally, (such as madder fed sheep, I'm told), I suspect that the threads were dyed. We just don't have the documentation for how they did it like we do from later periods such as the 16th C (era of the explosion of printed material). However, linen doesn't hold the dye as well as silk or wool, so unless tested for the dyestuffs we wouldn't be able to tell by looking at them.

Correct?  I think this would be a correct assessment. For me, the important thing in commercial garments is for the seller/maker to be knowledgeable and honest about what they are doing. I am much more wary of a vendor who doesn't seem to _know_ what commercial compromises and shortcuts they're taking than one who says explicitly something like, "The standard version of this item uses modern sewing in all non-visible situations -- a version with historically accurate stitching is available by special order [at a commensurately higher price]". I, personally as a consumer, would tend to expect that the highest level of accuracy that is _not_ done by special order would be "accuracy in externally visible details".

If not, then do we conclude that >there was *some* way to dye linen during this time? This topic comes up periodically, and a handful of anecdotal examples of colored linen can be offered. For example, the lining of the "Satin coat of Charles the Bold" (15th c.) is a very dark (gray or black) linen, as can be seen in the color photos in Mechthild Flury-Lemberg's "Textile Conservation and Research". Similarly, photos of the linen lining of one of the Golden Fleece vestments in "The Conservation of Tapestries and Embroideries" show it to be a pale salmon-orangey-pink color. These aren't the only anecdotal examples that can be listed. The question that arises is not simply, "_could_ linen be dyed in the middle ages?" but more complexly "under what conditions does dyed linen appear to have been used, and when does it appear not to have been used?" Extrapolating from a black linen lining to a black linen chemise, for example, strikes me as implausible, given the uniform portrayal of chemises in art as white. How relevant is it that the two examples above are as lining fabrics in garments that would not have been laundered -- thus removing light and laundry, the two factors most likely to quickly degrade color in linen? At any rate, it isn't an all-or-nothing question -- that either they didn't have any colored linen, or that colored linen was freely interchangeable with uncolored. This situation lends it self to over-simplification when trying to educate people about medieval textiles and garments, and the over-simplification that is closest to the truth is "they didn't use colored linen". That this oversimplification can be demonstrated to be false should not lead people to concluding that the opposite oversimplification is true.

I'm guessing that the name of the shirt, "leine croich", if I understand my translation correctly, refers to the linen (leine) dyed with the saffron crocus (Croich). As with all linen dyes, due to the structure of the fabric, the dye is somewhat fugitive. I don't know, however, if this applies, as I don't remember references to Scots/Irish yellow leines prior to the 16th Cent. The answer to "could linen be dyed?" is certainly an emphatic "yes!" Under what conditions was dyed linen used, and when, is certainly the more difficult question. I have heard of men's lined hose being used in the late 15th-early 16th Cent., but there is no true indication of which I know to indicate what material was used for the lining, or whether or not it was dyed to match the outer layer if indeed it was linen. For this info, you might want to contact Gerry Embleton or John Howe with the Companie of St. George, who are doing much more in-depth research in this area.

And that's the crux of it for me, too. I'm one of the people who's asked about dyed linen on this list, periodically over several years now, and whenever I hear of an extant linen garment or a written reference to a linen garment, my first question is "Is it white or dyed?" My interest isn't in dyeing per se, but rather in the issue of whether linen was used for the visible layers of body garments (e.g. gowns, tunics) in medieval Western Europe. There's no question linen was used for undergarments (e.g. chemises, shirts), bed linens, table linens, towels, aprons, sacking, wrappings, and many other purposes, but these are all things that are normally assumed to be white or undyed. Linen is also listed in documents as a lining, and (as Heather notes) appears in extant garments as a lining (sometimes dyed! thanks, Heather). But whether it was used as what people today call the "fashion fabric" of garments -- there's the issue. I keep coming back to this question because people seem to assume that since wool and linen were the two common fibers of the period, people were as likely to make their gowns from linen as from wool, with linen the default for warm weather. Naturally, re-enactors in much of the US would prefer linen gowns over wool ones because of the weather, and so there's a preponderance of linen clothing in a wide range of colors and styles at many medieval re-enactments and events. But as people ask me what fabrics I recommend for gowns of various sorts, I can't say with any certainty that linen is a viable choice because I still haven't seen any strong evidence of linen for that use. There's probably an example or three out there, but at this point it would take a fair lot of evidence to balance the huge absence of it I've seen so far. Where I haven't looked is documents, which could be very fruitful: textile guild regulations, property use laws, import/export records, inventories ... but I'm not a primary documents researcher and am unlikely to have the sort of time and access to do serious primary work in that area anytime soon. So, why my interest in dyed linen? Because if there were evidence to suggest that linen was dyed frequently and in large quantities and in many colors, that would suggest that this fabric was a likely candidate for non-underwear garments. If there is little or no evidence of dyed linen cloth, that suggests that it's unlikely many garments were made with linen as the outer fabric. I wouldn't base an argument on either line of thought, but it's a useful avenue for supporting material ... particularly since information on cloth sometimes includes references to the use of the cloth. So for my purposes, a reference to colored linen thread doesn't tell me anything one way or another except to confirm that there was technology to dye linen thread. That would be useful in its own right -- for sewing and embroidery -- but it doesn't indicate whether they were using dyed linen thread to make cloth for garments, or using the same techniques to dye linen cloth for garments. In fact, I find it interesting that this conversation has turned up references to dyed linen thread for embroidery, dyed linen thread for seams, and dyed linen fabric for linings. Given all that, the apparent absence of linen for the outer layer of garments may well reflect a deliberate medieval preference for wool as the visible fabric (better wearing, better color retention, seams less likely to ravel, etc.) and linen as an option for structural support (in the linings). That's consistent to some references I've seen to wool tunics lined with either wool or linen, but not linen/wool or linen/linen. It's similar to the cotton situation -- we find references and extant examples of cotton thread for various uses, cotton fabric used for embroidery grounds, cotton for bed hangings and cushions -- but not much (if any) cotton in *wear* on the body for most of the Middle Ages, north of Italy at least. (Though there's cotton used as a mix in fabrics such as fustian, and cotton used as padding or stuffing in garments.) So they had cotton available, but apparently chose not to use it for this purpose. This makes intuitive sense to me, given that I've found that the clothing construction methods I have developed as my best-guess at period practice work quite nicely in wool and linen but are a royal pain in cotton. Makes me wonder if they had the same experience. So when it comes to what to tell the people who ask me whether it's authentic to make their gowns in linen, I'm with Heather, who wrote: > At any rate, it isn't an all-or-nothing question -- that either they > didn't have any colored linen, or that colored linen was freely > interchangeable with uncolored. This situation lends it self to > over-simplification when trying to educate people about medieval > textiles and garments, and the over-simplification that is closest to > the truth is "they didn't use colored linen". That this > oversimplification can be demonstrated to be false should not lead > people to concluding that the opposite oversimplification is true. And, like Heather, I'm reluctant to point to the few appearances we have of dyed linen in certain limited uses in clothing because I don't want to suggest it's then safe to extrapolate to lots of dyed linen in a much broader range of uses. Better to oversimplify in the direction of what seems to be the truth -- that as far as we can tell, linen was not a routine choice for a garment's outer fabric. --Robin writing a long post, as usual, because I don't have time to write a short one _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Oct 7 23:44:12 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 XAA25885 for ; Mon, 7 Oct 2002 23:44:12 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g983k13Y003135; Mon, 7 Oct 2002 21:46:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g983k1Ga002742; Mon, 7 Oct 2002 21:46:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo-d09.mx.aol.com (imo-d09.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.41]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g983jmGa002647 for ; Mon, 7 Oct 2002 21:45:49 -0600 (MDT) Received: from LSinervo@aol.com by imo-d09.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v34.13.) id 6.180.f13baeb (4410) for ; Mon, 7 Oct 2002 23:45:37 -0400 (EDT) From: LSinervo@aol.com Message-ID: <180.f13baeb.2ad3aee1@aol.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Colored linen in the 14th century?

However, one of the things limiting us is that the extant garments we have tend to be made of things like silk or wool or are highly embroidered (which is why they seem to have gotten extra care from both the original makers and from conservators.) So, even if they had linen outer garments (ie for things such as kirtles) it is unlikely that we would have an example of them. They just aren't used in ecclesiastic or state garments (which tend to be the types of things best preserved.) So that leaves us with archeologic evidence. For linen, that's not very likely because of the conditions where most of our extant garments are found. For the same reason we don't usually find things like linen chemises in graves, we also don't find linen non-underwear garments: the soils are acid which promotes protein (wool, silk) preservation but not plant fibre (linen or nettle). So, the only conclusion we can come to in their absence is that we don't know if they did or did not have linen for that use unless we find written references in the type of documents you mentioned earlier. I personally prefer to teach that, in the absence of further information, it is best not to use it for outerwear if someone is going to be looking at it for "academic" purposes (such as contests).

Good question. I don't trust Norris at all; he's notoriously unreliable. This raises a lot of questions for me: - What sort of garment was this from -- a herald's tabard? (I have not heard of any extant women's surcotes with heraldry on them, and precious few male garments, one of which is the Black Prince's jupon). - Or, since it's "remnants," did someone just assume it was from a surcote, when it might be from a banner, an ecclesiastical cope, a wall hanging, a cushion, etc. - Is this really original, or was it remade at some later date? - What is the date based on? - Where is the garment from? I wouldn't rule out linen use for visible layer of garments in Spain or Italy; my interest is Western Europe.

I looked at these, and would be inclined to assume they were from wall hangings, tablecoverings, or other decorative use, partly because the motifs are consistent with images of such uses, partly because I find the use of block printing for garments unlikely (particularly in so sumptuous a design), and partly because a decorative fabric is much more likely to survive in these sorts of pieces than a garment fabric. But if anyone has a reason to suggest these might be from garments, I'd be really interested in hearing it. They're figures 634 and 635 in Davenport. --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 Oct 8 01:07:40 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 BAA26188 for ; Tue, 8 Oct 2002 01:07:39 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9859J3Y006901; Mon, 7 Oct 2002 23:09:19 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9859FGa023899; Mon, 7 Oct 2002 23:09:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo-m08.mx.aol.com (imo-m08.mx.aol.com [64.12.136.163]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9858tGa023783 for ; Mon, 7 Oct 2002 23:08:55 -0600 (MDT) Received: from LSinervo@aol.com by imo-m08.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v34.13.) id 6.1ab.9cf4097 (30950) for ; Tue, 8 Oct 2002 01:08:29 -0400 (EDT) From: LSinervo@aol.com Message-ID: <1ab.9cf4097.2ad3c24d@aol.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Colored linen in the 14th century?

This is interesting to me as I consider there to be a "number" of examples of linen used as outer garments.  Don't have the MoL book handy but I know there are a few examples there too.  So, my question would then be, given so few examples of linen are likely to exist due to decay etc,  would it not be more reasonable to conclude that as a few extant examples do indeed exist that it is likely that linen WAS used as outer garments in the medieval period?  I agree looking at other primary records could sway my opinion too.

This may be later than you are looking for as it is not really medieval. In the British State Papers [Colonial 33. Domestic Elizabeth. cxl. No 48, i.] as reprinted in Hakluyt Society's THE THREE VOYAGES OF MARTIN FROBISHER no. 38 first series includes a document dated 26 of Marche, 1577. SHIPPINGE THOWT MYET TO BE EMPLOYED IN THE VIAGE ENTENTED BY MR FURBUSHER. In this document (an accounting of various stores purchased for the voyage, is the entry "(Provision for the apparelling of the men) Item Wollinge clothe for jirkens, breche and hose, canvas and lynnenge clothe for dublets and sherts, hats, caps, and shewes, etc." The amount alloted was 100 pounds. This does not speak at all to the dying of linen, but it does seem to suggest that linen was used for outer (or visible) garments by 1577. In this case I mean the doublet. Some may believe the word "lynnenge" means lining cloth and not linen, though I do not think so as the author used a very similiar spelling for woolen. Even if he does mean lining, canvas in the period consisted, by most accounts, consisted of heavy linen or hemp. What is interesting to me, is that the voyage in question was bound for Baffin Bay,Newfoundland, not a warm climate at all! Many secondary sources quote linen of canvas clothes for sailors as well, so there well may be more documentation out there, unless it is all subjecture which with nautical stuff is quite possible. I will try to look into earlier sources, but I can't promise anything, as I am very busy with a new play.

The chapter on linen shows some extant linen swatches, but the text suggests that they are household linens. They do mention some linen recovered from Viking grave sites, but say little more than that, so from the book it can not be determined if these are clothing fragments or household linens. Are there some elsewhere? The book is sans index :( . In the chapter on tailoring their is some discussion of the "St Louis Tunic" which is an extant linen garment, but most seem to believe that this is a inner garment (shirt). In fact it is the source for one of the patterns of men's shirts offered by Historic Enterprises.

Over the last few years in England it is much more common to wear T shirts for much of the year, however much of the year is quite comfortable in wool and would be more so if the weather was 3-5 degrees cooler. That may be the simple answer there. I've seen it suggested very fine wool is cool, but I've tried very very fine wool and it is still hotter than linen. Linen is undoubtably more difficult to dye than wool and indeed cotton or silk, but you can get some colour from it although it is less likely to last.

July 2000 Subject: "linen--uses and dyeing" July 2000 Subject: "linen, blue, and silver (was: linen--uses and dyeing)" July 2000 Subject: "linen blue and silver" July 2000 Subject: "Fwd: Re: A disturbing thought: Linen garments" August 2001 Subject "Colored Linen" August 2002 There are probably more that would be visible on a subject-line search for just "linen." But these are all threads I've saved bits of, so I had the names and dates. In skimming through these I saw some good data that add to most of the points we're addressing in this latest iteration, so a run through the archives to get up to speed would be useful for anyone who wasn't in on the earlier discussions. They include lots of support for colored linen and linen for outergarments from the 16th c. on up, some questions about exactly what colors were used in 18th century, some discussion of printed linens (which apparently were not for clothing except in extraordinary circumstances, according to some sources), and more.

People on this list have previously presented good research (Henk particularly, though he's not on anymore) that heraldic decorations on clothes were not usual, though they do appear in period illustrations. Also, garments made for tournaments were much more like what we think of as costumes than "garments" for regular wear. So if the note cited really is linen, and not just an assumption, and really is an appliqued heraldic surcote, and not a misidentified flag or something, then it still might not represent something that people actually wore in their daily lives. I would think (a guess here!) that the answer might be found in guild and trade regulations. Wool was a major industry throughout Britain and Europe, and all sorts of regulations governed the types of fabric allowed to be made and sold, the way they could be dyed and finished, etc. I am told by a friend who spins that, for instance, certain weaves of linen were only used for table cloths. If, say, you found colored yards of this (and I haven't!!!! it's an example) that still wouldn't tell you whether people wore outer clothes made of colored linen.

The web site had something to do with objects found inserted into the walls of buildings, so maybe someone will recall it. Anyway, the thing that interested me was that the doublet was linen; I usually think of outerwear for this period as being wool and nothing else.

Help? I'm coming out of my Yahoo account, signed in, but I can use regular Yahoo without signing in. My two cents on colored linen. My interest is on the 19th century in America but when cloth is scarce enough people used anything, ie bed ticking, table linens, etc. I assume this applies to the poor anywhere, anytime, perhaps not a valid assumption. Ditto home weaving. In a book called Lone Stars that came out of the quilt research project for Texas the journals talk about the women who spun and wove until trade became established and they didn't need to and when the Civil War cut off supplies of ready woven yardage the older women took up spinning and weaving again. For this specific time frame and place the evidence argues that women did home fabric production until they could get ready woven yardage and then returned to it when money or supplies became scarce. I suppose an extrapolation could be made for the poor continuing home production even when ready made was available as labor could be provided by the family while money, as in coin, had to be gotten from outside the family unit. I'm thinking specifically of my great-grandparents down in Kentucky who didn't get electriciy until 1968. I don't remember Good Mama buying anything ever from the grocer. She bought yardage and shoes and overalls for her husband but everything else was home produced or so ancient that it predated the 1900s. I wonder if a case could be made for whether linen or wool was the poor man's cloth for the Renaissance and before. Poor people's clothing is notoriously rare to be found. The doublet mentioned on this list before for the hidden garments site? The doublet found inside the chimney that the conservator copied for the display? I can't remember the exact site but I thought it was working man's clothing and it was linen? As always I have more questions for the pre-19th timeframe than data. Oh, well.

Linen is also listed in documents as a lining, and (as >Heather notes) appears in extant garments as a lining (sometimes dyed! >thanks, Heather). But whether it was used as what people today call the >"fashion fabric" of garments -- there's the issue. In Europe (which sidesteps all those Egyptian linen tunics) I can only offer a few examples -- and none dyed. There's a white linen chasuble at St. Godehard's Basilica in Hildesheim, Germany from the 14th c. which is made of a very decorative complex diamond twill. The simple fact of it being a chasuble makes it a "fashion fabric", but the highly decorative weave also argues for a "show off" function. I've also got a listing for a 10th c. linen chasuble from the grave of St. Ulrich in Augsburg, but I don't recall offhand whether it has any interesting features. The embroidered tunic-relic of St. Bathilde is white linen, but it's a garment that I'm really uncomfortable drawing any general conclusions from (the legends make it a garment of deliberate peculiarity). Other than that, all my European linen items are shirts and albs and similar undergarments.

Linen is only mentioned there in connection with madder-dyed textiles from Old Kingdom tombs in Egypt. The Old Kingdom era is a _long_ time ago. That leaves a large gap of time for the "ever since" conclusion. Safflower seeds have been found in tombs, but safflower is also a food plant whose seeds are a rich source of oil, and the presence of seeds doesn't tell you for which purpose the plant was grown. It suggests that safflower-based dyes were _possible_, but not that they were definitely used. The quotes from Pliny appear to be talking about dying in general -- and textile survivals from Egypt in the first century certainly confirm a wide range of colors used in _wool_. But I don't see the above quote indicating that the claim is being made for using these substances to dye _linen_. I don't mean to be picking on you for providing the quote -- it's a very useful quote. But it's important to read our sources carefully, and not read into them things that they didn't intend to claim. Sometimes I think that 90% of research is figuring out what the sources do and don't say once you find them!

I just joined a Scottish Elizabethan (1560's) reenactment group and have finally made a costume for me. I am supposed to be a Baroness (I wanted to wear a french hood and be at Mary's court) so I made a costume with an overskirt, underskirt and separate bodice that has both side lacing and back lacing. It is brown linen over salmon linen which is okay with my group. I wanted to try it out so I wore it to Casa de Renn Faire in Northern California. I discovered that it is very comfortable except that since I am built like a beach ball, I can't hold a skirt up. I added a belt. It helped a little, but not much, because even a belt expects to encounter hips sticking out from my truly magnificent stomach. I decided that the answer was to add hooks to the bodice and eyes to the skirt. back to the faire to try this out. again it helped, but not a lot because the hooks wouldn't stay in the eyes. Now I have to add a bum roll and farthingale to the mix. I thought about adding an underbodice or suspenders, but they wouldn't take care of my bloomers or bum roll. Also, quite frankly, I am of that delicate age when I could be in a blinding snowstorm and complain about the heat. To be honest, I have never really experienced a snow storm so I am speaking metaphorically. So this is my latest plan. I am going to add some grommets to the bodice and cover them with a stomacher. I am going to add grommets to the front of the skirts, the bum roll and the bloomers and farthingale and lace them all together and hide it with the stomacher. I will put grommets in the side of the skirts and grommets in the modesty panels in the side of the bodice and lace those together. They will be hidden by the lacing at the side. Naturally I have quite enough of a butt to hold up the back so that isn't a problem. Does anyone have any ideas or opinions? I have to look historically accurate (no hand sewn seams. they would lose me there). With my next costume, I will probably just make them connected with a skirting to hide where they are joined, but this bodice is too boned for that to be a viable option and I really like this costume and have sunk a fortune in trims in it and am not ready to dump it and start over. Any help would be appreciated.

Most of the printed linens in the V&A collection *are* either furnishings or ecclesiastic garments. Evidently the printed linen was used in poor parishes and for garments the priest would use when going to plague infested areas. (Some of these would be destroyed afterward in "cleansing fires." I suspect no one wanted to use their silk and embroidered ones for such a purpose.) I've not found any non-speculative source which talks about garments for the non-clerics made of linen until much later. Certainly not in the 14th C (for which the original poster was looking for information. It is always so tempting to say "it was used in the 17th century and in antiquity, so they probably had it in the time in between. However, especially in textiles there are times when techniques or styles were completely out of use that we just can't do that. (Which brings us back to the "Ruritanian Feather" article. But since that is *copiously* covered in the archives and fairly recently too, I won't go into it again here.)

His venetians would not stay up on their own. He's a rather skinny guy with, of course, no hips either. So I put grommets in the waistband of the pants and grommets on a strip along the bottom of the doublet, which is hidden by the tabs/skirts, and tied them together. Works like a charm, and is very period. Well, maybe not grommets, per se, but eyelets and lacing the whole thing together with points, definitely. In fact, that little detail has gained him major points in two Bristol Renn Faire costume contests, both of which he won first place men's middle class.

It's well written, but it does not do what the author seems to want to do - that is to prove that painting was regularly used on clothing. I once wrote a post on this article for another group, in which I examine the "evidence" and list it. I do hope you all don't mind me reproducing it here. >>>>>>>>>Yes, this is an article I read and book marked some while back. If you read through you will find that the writer professes to go on to explain that "beside the crafts of weaver and embroiderer, and long intertwined with them, was the craft of painter, or painter-stainer. Painters provided designs, and sometimes competition, for textile craftsmen. Although paint was a cheap and fast alternative to woven or embroidered decoration, it was not despised, but was used in period for all the same purposes as the more costly cloth.". BUT he/she never actually demonstrates that it was used commonly for garments. Does the author perhaps go on to give us examples or citations of the use of painting on clothing? No. The author goes on to state: "One turns to documentary evidence, wills, contracts and inventories. Then there is the problem of terminology. What is a cloth "depicted" with images? Woven, embroidered, stencilled or painted? Even "depeynted" is not as certain as it appears, since it could be used to mean "decorated" in almost any manner." Here are all the words I could find in the article, that describe an actual fabric item decorated by painting: (I've used examples only once, but in many cases they are mentioned several times in different examples. These are all sourced examples. Those examples not sourced and merely the authors interpretation I have not used - most notably "costumes", although it is a likely use for fabric painting, just not sourced by the author.) banners (of different types) town standard altar cloths furniture embroidery designs counterpanes tapestry linen for "the jewel to be worn by Our Lord on Corpus Christi Day" heraldic display wall hangings palls fabric for church lecterns bed curtains bed canopies curtains horse-coverings cushions document bag flags festival hangings and finally: garments for little boys or children (from Cennini, the only mention of painting as the finished product) There is overwhelming evidence that painting on cloth of varying kinds was used as a cheaper alternative in the use of utilitarian items. And almost none of it being used on clothing. Cennini at least gives us an indication of *how* fabric painting was sometimes used on clothing - on little boys or children's clothes. (perhaps by those that couldn't afford to keep replacing worn-out or out-grown clothing on children?) I believe that the word painted is commonly misunderstood and misread. In the light of this article, those who couldn't afford the more expensive embroidered tapestries, wall hangings, etc, or who wanted them fast and cheap for processions, or other reasons, bought painted cloths. There is only one mention of it used in clothing in that article, and elsewhere...well, one Queen's forepart of mysterious usage (masque costume?) does not an Elizabethan wardrobe make.<<<<<<<<< Bella http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

What I do is to make my skirts up as usual. I make all my bodices by flatlining them with canvas or twill.

If so, I hope it has straps. If you are and it does, you can use the "points" method described by Rebecca to tie your farthingale to your corset. Except for your bloomers (yer on yer own there!) everything else rests on top, and nothing falls down. This method has saved me all sorts of back pain, for while I do have hips, they don't appreciate taking the full weight of all that garb. To see a picture and description of what I did, go to http://www.faucet.net/costume/period/under.html If you're not wearing a corset, you might consider one (with straps!) for your next effort. I know it seems like too many layers, but IMHO it certainly beats making _every_ bodice into a corset instead. Margo's suggestion of sewing the waistband of the skirt into the bodice is a very good one--unless the bodice opens in the front and the skirt in the back, which has sometimes been my quandary in the past with this method.

I've been thinking about silk tafetta (maybe even iridescent?) but am worried that it may be too stiff to drape up over the bustle properly. I've read that it was common to use 2 colours AND 2 materials. What combos were used other than silk & velvet? I'd like to be able to wear this gown in all seasons & think velvet would look strange in the summer. As for colour, I read a list of colours from the period & there happened to be a group 'Strawberry, Cream, Prune'- does that sound like a reasonable combo or is it too wild? I have read of Pink & Garnet in the Harper's Bazaar which is what seems to be represented in several of Tissot's paintings. Was purple worn for anything other than levels of mourning? So, another colour question is.. if your petticoat is white (bright white) & some of the white shows beneath the hem as you move, what colour would any lace accents on the body of the gown be? It seems that white would be too stark on any colour. Or was their idea of a white petticoat not really WHITE? Looking forward to hearing your opinions!

I think if you ask the author (Barbara Gordon), you would find that she *wasn't* trying to prove that it was used on clothing. She was trying to prove that painting was done in lieu of tapestry weaving or embroidering. She regularly teaches classes on the use of painted cloth for this purpose. (Believe me, she'd laugh at the thought that she was providing information for *costumers* as she, um, how to put this, stays away from trying to make clothing. Shoot, I even sew coifs for her husband. Of course, they are handsewn with linen thread on linen in the 14th C style...) However, I would agree with your analysis of the information provided: basically for furnishings and ecclesiastic use with one mention of its use for children's clothing. Robinson in his _A History of Printed Textiles_ talks about the use of block printing in Europe in the Middle Ages. He discusses its use in lesser monasteries, churches and for the wall hangings of the middle class. He also talks about printing being used for embroidery patterns. He also states, "Owing to their poor fastness to washing, these were hardly suitable for clothing." He also mentions that the method needed to make the printing (using a hand method which, especially as the designs got bigger also required thicker pigments encorporating varnish) also makes it less likely to be used for clothing. (Of course, that doesn't mean that there wouldn't be rare inported pieces from the Orient, Middle East, India and Malasia, where printing was used occasionally for clothing. But it would be *rare*.)

If it's the chasuble of St. Ulrich from Lucerne, it's block-printed wool. The fabric is blue-green and is printed in black with palmettes and other motifs similar to those in contemporary (14th-15thc.) Italian silks. The printed pattern goes across seams in some cases, indicating it was printed after the chasuble was sewn together. This chasuble is still used each year in a blessing ceremony where it is held up like a canopy for people to walk underneath. Ref: Cat.

Mara, there are quite a few linen extant doublets. (well, 'quite a few' in relative terms :-) from the early 17th century. hey are usually unbleached though and there is a ovely heavily 'white-work' embroidered one in 'Fashion in detail', the V&A publication one. Then there are of course the embroidered linen jackets like Margaret Lawton's. Seems that when embroidery comes into play linen becomes more frequent.

Silk tafetta should be fine.. again it depends on the weight. But I have some white silk that is heavier and stiffer than lining weight but also less stiff than that crisp shot tafetta you used to be able to find everywhere. I'd make a full dress out of this if I had enough. I've read that it was > common to use 2 colours AND 2 materials. What combos were used other than > silk & velvet? I'd like to be able to wear this gown in all seasons & think > velvet would look strange in the summer. Well.. that did tend more todwards heavier fabrics and more for day wear. If you look in Fashion and Reality/Victorian and Edwardian Fashion: A Photographic Survey (same book, diff publishing titles) You'll see a lot of dull and matt or piled and lustrous fabrics used. These tend to be different shades of the same colour though. http://www.antique-fashion.com/0183.htm You could use the velvet in bands which means instead of looking like the whole dress is heavy, you'll just have accents. > As for colour, I read a list of colours from the period & there happened to > be a group 'Strawberry, Cream, Prune'- does that sound like a reasonable > combo or is it too wild? No doesn't sound too wild, especially if you think of them as water colours rather than heavy oil paints;) I know analine dyes were available and much loved.. but it you think of the three shades as being part of a family. You could use the strawberry as the base colour and the prune as trimming with the cream as accents.. say ruffles at the end of half sleeves, around the neck and rows alternating with the prune on the skirt. http://www.vintagetextile.com/new_page_52.htm http://www.vintagetextile.com/newpage510.htm Try that for striking colour! > I have read of Pink & Garnet in the Harper's Bazaar which is what seems to > be represented in several of Tissot's paintings.

And there is a lilac dress in the painting The Fair Toxophilites (archers).. so I'd say yes.

Go for white.. or if you are wanting cream, add a cream trim to the bottom of the petticoat so that the white doesn't show through. See if you can reduce that near blue white too though. You know how glowing white our fabrics can be:) A tea dye might work well. http://www.vintagetextile.com/newpage91.htm see, mixing of cream and white was not a big issue so you can do it (no I do realise the colour of the dummy is showing through the bodice, look atthe apron drape and lace ruffles and the back of the skirt).

I don't think it would look strange, but it would be hot, linen, cottons, brocades , wools, prints, it was the start of greater avalibility of fabrics, colours and machine sewing so they went mad & stuck things togerther we would find gross. :) >These tend to be different shades of the same colour though. http://www.antique-fashion.com/0183.htm I've seen high contacts colours used too, more often described though, the really OTT ideas tended to fade & I suspect lime green & orange dresses were seperated & re worked ;p >You could use the velvet in bands which means instead of looking like the whole dress is heavy, you'll just have accents.

Many recreations of dress are more modern colour coordinated that the Victorian coordination might have been. Colour is very much dependant on culture, so I have on set of 21st C eyes & another for 19th C. There isn't too wild in 19th C But you should wear combinations that YOU personally feel good about. The longer I do the period the wilder I get with colours :) > So, another colour question is.. if your petticoat is white (bright white) & > some of the white shows beneath the hem as you move, what colour would any > lace accents on the body of the gown be?

Tip for any period Don't use modern washing powders with OBAs.

This may well be, but I would have been mislead into excitement as well--the key phrase in her intro is "[painted cloth] was used in period for all the same purposes as the more costly cloth." One major use of more costly cloth, and of course the one that springs first to _my_ mind, is clothing.

As to color, remember that finds like this are often grey-brown after centuries of burial. I didn't read this writeup myself, so I don't know if they tested the item for dyes. ========================================================== Robin Netherton // Editor at Large robin@nightowl.net voice: (314) 439-1222 // fax: (314) 439-1333 Life is just a bowl of queries. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Oct 9 09:42:46 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 JAA00493 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 09:42:46 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99Dh33Y021739; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 07:43:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99Dh1uE019021; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 07:43:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from alpha.eos.net (alpha.eos.net [205.133.149.17]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99DgCuE018736 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 07:42:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: from [205.133.149.143] (pm5-143.eos.net [205.133.149.143]) by alpha.eos.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA23319 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 09:42:11 -0400 (EDT) User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2022 From: Gail & Scott Finke To: Message-ID: In-Reply-To: <20021009074200.27947.81081.Mailman@net.indra.com> Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Subject: [h-cost] Re: block-printed anything 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, 09 Oct 2002 09:40:23 -0400 Status: RO All this talk of painted and block-printed fabric has me very curious.

Taffeta is perfect. But most real Bustle gowns I've seen are of a thinner weave than the synthetics you get now. Also silk twill seems to be popular. As to colors and fabrics, I have read in a contemporary source that ALL gowns were of at least 2 fabrics [though maybe not two colors...like a plain taffeta with a matching or analogous brocade or jacquard] Stripes [small ones] are very popular. They show the drape of the bustle well. Two colors I see all the time [though not together on the same gown] in real gowns, no matter where they're from, is a Carolina blue and a sorta butterscotch/ bronze-like yellowy brown. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Oct 9 10:21:41 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 KAA00731 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 10:21:40 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99EM13Y024216; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:22:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99EM0uE003783; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:22:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo-m09.mx.aol.com (imo-m09.mx.aol.com [64.12.136.164]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99ELvuE003732 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:21:58 -0600 (MDT) Received: from AlbertCat@aol.com by imo-m09.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v34.13.) id 6.1a6.9e8ea2f (4340) for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 10:21:38 -0400 (EDT) From: AlbertCat@aol.com Message-ID: <1a6.9e8ea2f.2ad59572@aol.com> Subject: Re: [h-cost] 1870's colours & fabrics - evening gown To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 138 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, 9 Oct 2002 10:21:38 EDT Status: RO In a message dated 10/9/02 5:25:27 AM Eastern Daylight Time, thebruce@ihug.co.nz writes: << You could use the strawberry as the base colour and the prune as trimming with the cream as accents. >> Mmmmmmm... dessert! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Wed Oct 9 10:29:33 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 KAA00772 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 10:29:33 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99EP53Y024460; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:25:05 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99EP1uE005069; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:25:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from taisp2.in-tch.com (taisp2.in-tch.com [199.96.34.34]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g99EOKuE004763 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:24:20 -0600 (MDT) Received: from in-tch.com (msla_r1a254.in-tch.com [66.62.107.54]) by taisp2.in-tch.com (8.11.2/8.11.2) with ESMTP id g99E9FL13931 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 08:09:15 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <3DA43D8E.585EA824@in-tch.com> From: Sue Clemenger X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en]C-CCK-MCD {Montage;Touch America} (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: Dyeing experiments was [h-cost] Colored linen in the 14th century?

I don't think any of it has been webbed, although we *do* have a baronial website, and I've got my digital camera. Hmmm..... We've had a lot of fun using all different kinds of natural dyes (some pre-17th c., some not). Logwood makes the most amazing, lovely purples; cochineal (pinks and reds); indigo (blues and greens--State laws/regulations forbid growing woad here [super-bad noxious weed in these parts], so we bought that); various local lichens and walnut hulls for an amazing range of lovely browns, as did cutch. Experiments with indigenous plants have been fun, too--dandelion flowers produce a screaming bright yellow (and an interesting bright green when overdyed with a couple of dips of indigo); tansy produces some great greens and yellows (depending on whether you're using the flowering part, or the leaves/stems). The only persistent disappointment has been our inability to get a good red from madder--we've tried root from a couple of different sources, and get the same results (various pinky-oranges/salmons), so we're suspecting it's our local water. We've been experimenting with different types of fibers and fabrics--wools, silks, some linen, some cotton. I'm planning on ordering some silk twill from Dharma for a gown or two. I'd love to do something in wool, as well, but have not been able to locate good wool fabric that's not already dyed black or done in navy pinstripes. *sigh* --Sue Kevin & Mara Riley wrote: > > >From what I've read, the Scots wore both wool and linen shirts in this > period, but I'd assume the leine was linen unless specified otherwise. > > The color was usually derived from weld, though maybe some really wealthy > people dyed their leinte with actual saffron. > > I'd love to see results of your weld dyeing experiment -- do you have them > posted anywhere? > > Also have seen a quote to the effect that the seams were embellished with > colored (red or green) silk thread, but that falls more in the realm of > embroidery than plain sewing ;) > > Cheers, > Mara > > On Mon, 7 Oct 2002, Sue Clemenger wrote: > > > Uh...without being able to pull out any actual, scholarly cites or > > anything (it was one of THOSE Mondays), what about the > > sumptuary/regulatory laws I've heard of in reference to "saffron shirts" > > for those people living in Ireland during certain periods of British > > rule?

Now I understand the question! Looking back, I see that it's true that the first post on this thread did ask only whether linen was dyed at all in this period ... but the issue of whether people used colored linen as a primary garment fabric has been addressed so often here in the past few years that I think most of us just fell naturally back into that conversation. After all, most of us are pretty single-mindedly focused on clothes (rather than banners, furnishings, etc.) and we try to be careful not to generalize too far across textile categories. Looking back, though, I gather the initial poster had probably picked up from our earlier, clothing-focused threads the thought that there was no evidence that linen was dyed at all. And thus the confusion -- some of us talking about dyed linen in general, and others of us pointing out that all the examples were of non-clothing items and so weren't relevant to the question at hand (since *our* questions at hand usually relate to clothing only). Plus some of us knew that the original poster is working on a specific costume project, and so we automatically translated her actual question (did they dye linen?) into the one we figured she was *really* asking (did they dye linen for clothing?) I think we actually had two or three conversations going on here, only we all thought we were part of the same one ;-) --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 Oct 9 21:55:26 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 VAA04900 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 21:55:26 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9A0t23Y016960; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 18:55:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9A0t17m001297; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 18:55:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from m8.boston.juno.com (m8.bos.untd.com [64.136.24.71]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with SMTP id g9A0sV7m001153 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 18:54:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: from cookie.juno.com by cookie.juno.com for <"QHEuP/IhRKUiOZTU6Ir/OtTfKDtfePnFAUupTrN/63s="> Received: (from cley@juno.com) by m8.bos.untd.com (jqueuemail) id HEQKR9R3; Wed, 09 Oct 2002 20:54:18 EDT To: h-costume@indra.com Message-ID: <20021009.175309.-153087.5.Cley@juno.com> X-Mailer: Juno 4.0.11 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 1-6,8-32 X-Juno-Att: 0 X-Juno-RefParts: 0 From: Cynthia J Ley Subject: [h-cost] subscribe info sought 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, 9 Oct 2002 17:43:36 +0000 Status: RO Would someone please be so kind as to send me subscribe information off-list?

It's at home, I'm at work, so excuse the relatively vague comments. My facimile is basically a picture book with captions, but two of the illustrations refer to "Wool clothing" and "Linen Clothing" (a third page, not illustrated, is "Silk clothing"). The caption says in part (paraphrasing) Linen's nature is cold and dry, and it is recommended for wear by the young and in southern climes. The illustrations shows 4 women, 3 in coloured garments, 1 in white, cutting white linen. Incidently, the wool caption includes the comment that wool clothing can irritate the skin. Given that there is no mention of undergarments in either caption, I'm inclined to think that the book is referring to linen outer garments, but that's speculation of course. This seems like a fruitful avenue of research, because numerous versions of this work exist and other text versions may give more info. This has been an interesting discussion so far.

And i really found your starching of a ruff quite interresting. This was a very good idea you had using a hair iron, to starch the ruff with. I must try that some time. Loved your costumes!

Just to tie up this loose end ... The item is published in: Zwillinger, Thomas. 1996. Textile Kunst aus tausend Jahren. Köln, Greven. catalog no. P 2 My recollection was slightly off -- the fabric has a linen warp and cotton weft, and the printing is done in brown, according to the text. (The photo shows it as slightly reddish, but this may be a printing drift.) The boundaries between the printing blocks are quite visible, due to relatively sloppy registration, and the pattern goes in opposite directions on the left and right sides of the garment, so I'd interpret that as meaning it was printed as yardage, not after the garment was made. The pattern is reminiscent of 15th c. Italian silk brocades. The text discusses the purpose of vestments of this type with the following (translated from the German on the fly -- so forgive minor errors): "The use of linen or cotton as the ground-fabric of a liturgical garment was explained in the 19th century with the label of the so-called "plague-chasuble", which -- because it was easier to clean -- would be worn during visitations in plague-time. According to Jutta Zander-Seidel, it is more likely that they were used for ordinary masses in the church-year, while expensive silk garments were reserved for high feast days."

Yes, this is a fruitful set of sources, and the fact that the text and the illustrations have different cultures of origin adds some interesting variables. I posted an off-the-cuff analysis of the linen references in several of the Tacuinum manuscripts when this topic came up a couple of years ago. Following is the relevant part of my post from July 1999 under the subject line "Use of linen in Italy and elsewhere". The rest of the post (and thread) are easy to locate in the archives under that subject line. In looking over the archived version, I see that a few lines of the text from this section of the post was dropped; I've restored the missing bits from my own copy, here. (Eric the archive-keeper knows about the dropped line problem; it happens in some posts in which there's a colon close to the beginning of the line. For that reason, I'm replacing the problematic colons in this post with two periods in a row like this .. so the archived version of *this* post won't drop the same lines. The quote starts here: << ... it does occur to me that if linen were commonly used for gowns anywhere, it would be in Italy, where summers are hotter and longer. Which brings me to the only bit of evidence I *have* found for linen being used for clothing, at least since I started watching for these references. This is the Italian reference I mentioned earlier, but it might not technically be Italian at all. It's from the Tacuinum Sanitatus, sometimes called the Medieval Health Handbook (and published in a nice art book by that name, also in another art book called The Four Seasons of the House of Cerruti). This manual lists maybe a hundred different influences -- foods, weather conditions, emotions, etc. -- and describes their health effects. The manuscripts are in Latin and the existing manuscripts are from Italy, but the original text was apparently Arabic, and it may have its origin or connections in Southern Spain. There's an entry for wool clothing (vestis lanea), one for silk clothing (vestis de sete), and one for linen clothing (vestis linea). Not all extant manuscripts have all the same combinations of entries. The translations I have differ slightly from one of my sources to the other, which may reflect a different source manuscript that translated the Arabic into Latin differently, or it may be just a different English translation of the same source manuscript. Here are the translations I have. Version (1) is from "The Medieval Health Handbook," by Luisa Cogliati Arano; version (2) is from "The Four Seasons of the House of Cerruti," trans. by Judith Spencer. (1) Wool clothing. Nature: Warm and dry. Optimum: The thin kind from Flanders. Usefulness: It protects the body from cold and holds warmth. Dangers: It causes skin irritation. Neutralization of the Dangers.. With thin linen clothing. (2) Woolen clothes. Clothes are suited to _praeparatio aeri_, or the adaptation of the climate to life, which is one of the seven things essential to good health. Clothes made of wool, whose nature is warm and dry, are beneficial in the winter to old people, life in Northern regions, cold constitutions, all things that, of the four elements, correspond to water. These clothes, especially those in fine Flemish wool which are to be preferred, draw the inner heat from the body and keep it warm. The advantage of wool can also be a disadvantage: as too much warmth is harmful, wear a thin linen garment under the wool. (2) Silk clothes. Silk clothing is very luxurious and grand. It is highly valued and equally highly priced and for this reason it cannot be worn by peasants, but only by noble men and women and esteemed and prominent citizens. _In medicina_, according to medical science, everything that was said about woolen clothes applies equally to silk ones, for the nature of silk, like that of wool, is hot and dry. Wool, however, is said to be better than silk for covering the head at night. (1) Linen clothing. Nature: Cold and dry in the second degree. Optimum.. The light, splendid, beautiful kind. Usefulness: It moderates the heat of the body. Dangers: It presses down on the skin and blocks transpiration. Neutralization of the Dangers: By mixing it with silk. Effects.. It dries up ulcerations. It is primarily good for hot temperaments, for the young, in Summer, and in the Southern regions. (2) Linen clothes. Linen clothes are very suitable for the summer: they are light, splendid, and attactive. The women will see to the making of them, working rapidly and wisely with scissors and needle. Linen clothes are useful in keeping the body at a moderate temperature and they help to dry out ulcers, but they press on the skin and prevent the exhalation of vapors. For this reason it is wiser to make clothes from cloth that has a mixture of linen and silk, which also looks dazzlingly elegant. So, that last bit might serve as some supporting evidence that linen was used for gowns, not just underwear, in Southern European summers. But it's not definitive. Interestingly, the illumination in the edition I have here, which was taken from a Northern Italian manuscript of the Tacuinum, shows seamstresses at work cutting plain white linen from a bolt, and sewing plain white linen. The shapes of the pieces are not recognizable as any particular kind of clothing, just yardage. By contrast, the page on wool in one manuscript shows a male tailor fitting a man's red gown, and his assistant is working on a greyish-blue gown, while a green gown lies on a table. In the wool illustration in another Tacuinum manuscript from the same region, the scene is much the same, but shows bolts as well as finished garments, of red and blue, again being sewn and fitted by men to men. So there's always the chance that while the Arabic text referred to use of linen gowns, the Northern Italian illuminator may have known linen only in its bleached form, which may have been sewn (by women) into underwear rather than tailored (by men) into gowns. It's impossible to tell for sure, from this little sliver of information, but there's also not enough here to definitively support the idea of dyed linen for gowns. The silk workshop scene is similar to the wool ones, with a male tailor and assistant and a row of hanging garments, but their colors are red, blue, pink, and white with a pattern (quilted? hard to tell), and the customer is female, wearing pink. So, some of those pinks in paintings may represent silks. (Some of these pictures have shown up over the years in the Medieval Woman series of calendars and daybooks.) >> (Thus endeth the quote.) If I ever get around to doing a serious study of this, I'd want to compare the text and art of all the extant Tacuinums on these three entries. (I know of five illuminated copies; I don't know if there are any contemporaneous copies of the text without illuminations). These bits are tantalizing, though, as much for what they don't specify as for what they do, and for the possible discordance between text and art. --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 Oct 10 00:16:52 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 AAA05612 for ; Thu, 10 Oct 2002 00:16:51 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9A4H43Y027312; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 22:17:04 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9A4H17m001596; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 22:17:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail2.plugit.com (mail2.plugit.com [66.210.223.3]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9A4Gm7m001509 for ; Wed, 9 Oct 2002 22:16:49 -0600 (MDT) Received: from costumegallery.com [66.210.221.207] by mail2.plugit.com with ESMTP (SMTPD32-7.10) id AFF0BF2300C0; Wed, 09 Oct 2002 23:20:00 -0500 Received: from penny [68.57.138.39] by costumegallery.com (SMTPD32-7.06) id A026B1201FC; Wed, 09 Oct 2002 23:20:54 -0500 Message-ID: <009c01c27013$ea9de0e0$0400a8c0@centrl01.va.comcast.net> From: "Penny Ladnier" To: References: <000d01c26fb1$7fba5e50$4096fea9@CPQ21932199711> Subject: Re: [h-cost] dress diary.

Then went on to give examples that are not "real" that one could look at in motion....on film. Thanks for clarifying that :) I've not seen those actual costumes for those films as far as I'm aware, but those costume I have seen for films are all too often of very incorrect fabrics, so the movement on films often cannot be trusted I feel. TheRational movements and similar argued for the undergarment weight to be reduced from 14lbs to 7lbs to allow freer movement, therefore I think it is reasonable to assume 14lb or thereabouts as'normal' underwear weight this is pretty heavy, which is why I feel a heavier fabric gives a better movement of the body inside , rather than the clothing movement. >I understand better what you mean now. So many costumes are made from upholstery stuff and are just plain clunky that "light" as far as I mean, is not meant to mean diaphanous. I think we are nearer in ref terms now ;) Interestingly many of my friends , recreating 1870s, have problems with their bustles between evening and day wear due to the differances in weight, I haven't had any problems & my gear varies from very heavy velvet to light taffeta, therefore I thought I'd mention that my bustle has a canvas base, with steel, and ruffles, others I've seen are based of little more than shirt weight fabric & rip apart very easily Mel This e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential.

There are two main types of tansy. The European tansy is the dye tansy. It is not a weed in the sense that it is restricted. However, the most common kind of tansy in the US is not a true tansy but is tansy ragwort. It is toxic to cattle and is considered a noxious weed in most states. (And I wouldn't be the least surprised if it likes creekbeds.) Most good garden books have both of them in them, so find a good one and check to see which kind *you* have.

Interestingly, the word "linen" rarely appears in the documents - the most common reference is to "Dabiqi" (a name derived from a town where this type of linen was produced). Climate probably has a lot to do with this - linen is common, silk even more so but wool is not often mentioned or apparently (given the prices) much valued.

I have no experience with this company, but having been on both the shipping and the receiving end of things I can think of several issues that will affect shipping time: whether the items are in stock, where they're shipped from, where they're shipped to, how they're shipped, etc. I just checked their web page and they state they ship book rate. Basically that means the post office ships the package on a space available basis and it can take 4-6 weeks to arrive. Personally, I always pay extra (usually only a dollar or two) for priority or UPS shipping; I've had too many book rate shipments never arrive and I don't trust it (others have had good experiences, YMMV).

Well....it really shouldn't take very long (unless something is out of stock) but sometimes I * am incredibly busy and only get to what is demanding immediate attention * am away for a long event or several in a row *get in a dreary mood where things just don't get done * have other explanations of various problems I never charge a credit card until something is ready to ship. Feel free to nag me and definately let me know if there is a need for something at a particular time. As far as shipping things book rate, over the last couple years my experience has been excellent. I have even shipped things on Friday (from Erie, PA) and had them delivered on Saturday in Pittsburgh before I even got the e-mail sent to let the customer know it was coming. I sometimes buy out-of-print books if I find a good deal on e-bay or such and getting things book rate from other places has always worked out well. (Although I will occasionally blame the Post Office if something is late, actually I think they do a great job and are underappreciated.)

We postal gremlins (we're too grumpy on the graveyard shift to be elves) like to move out mail as rapidly as possible as it's our mail too and I always want my stuff yesterday if not sooner. Book rate goes by truck from place to place, which is why it's cheaper while almost everything else goes by plane. We don't usually mind getting blamed for delays as it does sometimes happen but for the most part the system works pretty well. The volume we work is staggering, rather like Bjarne's embroidery. I personally process for delivery 164,000 pieces of mail on a light night and I'm only one of 8 machines doing business size letters. We have 3 more machines doing magazine size mail and another 1 doing packages. Our little facility processes around 1 million pieces of mail a night and that's just the easy stuff that can go through a machine. I don't have good stats on the pieces that are done by hand or on the other 2 shifts. We do have a dress code for safety too which is sometimes really strange. We don't have uniforms unless you work with the public and those are pretty odd too from a clothing point of view but we did recently discuss school uniforms so I won't go into detail unless someone asks. Next topic, re the recent discussion of wide-laced gowns on women check out Bronwyn Cosgrove's the Complete History of Costume and Fashion pg 101, lower right-hand corner. There's a lady in a pink gown with short sleeves worn over a light blue undergown with bishop sleeves. The overdress bodice goes over the shoulders down to the waist in a wide, truncated V which laces across. You can see the side of the bodice well enough to see the lacing cords' pattern. I cannot refernce the painting as all the caption says is Bruges c.1500. The undergown has a low neck and you can see the white of the shift(?) as it goes up to the neck in a jewel neckline. It's a really good source if you wanted to reproduce the gown as the only thing I can't see is the back. Hopes this adds something to the recent discussion. Just finished watching Elizabeth with Kate Winslet and wondered if there is any period evidence for the gown worn dancing with the black doublet and blackwork sleeves and underskirt?

I've always loved that very elegant sweep of lace from the center front, and I actually have a very old black lace stole that will be perfect for that. It's not as ornate as the Chantilly lace in the original, but I think I'm going to fancy it up with some lace appliques. I found this wonderful forest green striped cotton/satin at (of all places) JoAnns that will be perfect. It's not too heavy, so it won't drag down, but it's heavy enough to drape nicely with lots of body. No problem doing the lace trim in black, but what about the undersleeves? The original fabric was black and pink striped, and the udnersleeves were pink silk, but I'm working with all forest green and black lace. I was thinking a sheer ivory for the sleeves but I'm not sure. I don't think a sheer black would look good at all, but there's no other color in the dress to pull from. I think green undersleeves would look pretty awful. Any suggestions other than ivory for the undersleeves? Also, what color gloves would should be worn? Most of the period references show wrist length gloves for evening wear, even with elbow-length sleeves, such as these, but I'm not sure what color they should be. Black seems logical to tie in with the color of the gown, but that's seems too reminiscent of mourning. But if everything on the dress is black or green (not counting hte as yet to be decided undersleeves), wouldn't white gloves look odd? I'm now going to start the hunt for the right Chantilly lace for the trim. Hopefully it can be found somewhere in downtown Los Angeles.

There's a print in Jost Amman's Book of Trades that shows a chemise or possibly an underdress hanging in the back of a tailor's shop. The chemise has fine pleats in the skirt that are apparently being "set" in place by a series of several narrow horizontal pressboards clamped over the garment at intervals. A weight hangs from the bottom of the whole business. Joseph Strutt misinterpreted the pressboards as being hoops, and redrew the image as though these horizontal lines were boning placed on the outside of the garment's skirt. I wouldn't be surprised if later books picked up his interpretation -- so many later books redrew from Strutt. Perhaps that's the image you're remembering? --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Sat Oct 12 19:00:41 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 TAA10827 for ; Sat, 12 Oct 2002 19:00:41 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9CN1E3Y014777; Sat, 12 Oct 2002 17:01:14 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9CN1AZa000951; Sat, 12 Oct 2002 17:01:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pfepb.post.tele.dk (pfepb.post.tele.dk [193.162.153.3]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9CN0gZa000797 for ; Sat, 12 Oct 2002 17:00:45 -0600 (MDT) Received: from CPQ21932199711 (0x3ef32f5c.boanxx5.adsl.tele.dk [62.243.47.92]) by pfepb.post.tele.dk (Postfix) with SMTP id AB13C5EE416 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 01:00:40 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: <000c01c27243$a981b320$4096fea9@CPQ21932199711> From: "Bjarne og Leif Drews" To: References: <5.1.0.14.0.20021012130728.00a409a0@postoffice.att.net> Subject: Re: [h-cost] 1861evening gown - help w/color of accessories 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 6.00.2720.3000 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 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: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 01:04:04 +0200 Status: RO Hi there.

Greetings to the list,

I finished my latest project by the October 1st deadline I had, although it's taken me a while to get the photos taken and processed. But they're finally done.

I've done a web page with the info and pics to make it easier to see them, if anyone would like to. I have only two gripes with my photos - my scoliosis was playing up so I look less than happy in some shots (I've only used the ones that didn't have me
looking totally murderous) and my 13 year old tried very hard to centre the ponytail for the ribbon-wrapped hairdo but pulled it out of centre while wrapping my braids (I can't complain - I was glad to have her help :) ) Oh, that and the fact that the camicia shots were washed out with flash, and not clear enough without flash, and my 15 year old el cheapo camera can't focus close-up for quids!

A-hem.... :)

If what Robin is saying is the case, and the Tacuinum evidence refers to the wearing of linen garments only made of white linen (and made by women), then does this say that in Southern Italy in that period it was possible, without shame, to walk around in ones underthings? Or perhaps linen was worn as outergarments, but only in white? There are a lot of interesting connections made here, but only a few of them are complete. Mike T. BTW, is there historical evidence of dyeing completed garments, made from imported fabrics that come in only white? > So, that last bit might serve as some supporting evidence that linen was > used for gowns, not just underwear, in Southern European summers.

They seem to be just bodices attached to skirts, not corsets, but the way that they are displayed may indicate some sort of stiffening in the bodice (or merely artistic license, who knows?) Interestingly enough, we have an 18th or 19th Cent Swedish version of the item on the wall at the Furrier's at the New Sweden Museum. The top is woolen cloth lined with hemp or linen canvas, and the skirts are made of sheepshin, tanned with the fleece on and turned in for warmth. Just goes to show you, good ideas stay around a while.

I have some other things to try now that are better than my original idea. it takes a while to come up to speed on these things. Now that I have done a number of costumes of this period, (ie the renn faire period) and looked at a ton of pictures I have a better idea of what is actual Elizabethan and what is faire Elizabethan. All I can say is, I am glad I am not queen.

I am assuming that with the connection that England had with India that this wasn't a coincidence. Did they use saris in their gowns? If they did, when did they start? When did brocades from China show up? I feel free to ask these questions, because I have been stunned by the level of scholarship displayed on this list.

They do not state theatrical. Generally they are good about explaining occasions for garments to be worn. I also see in the 1890s, empire waisted dresses for women. So strange because I haven't seen women photographed in this style for the 1890s. I eventually want to do a time line of when these different time period influence the 1880-1920s. I plan on teaching a class on recycled fashions one day.

Stella Mary Newton's book on "Dress Reformers" gives an excellent presentation of this movement, and some good pictures and sources. When I was researching Victorian approaches to medieval dress, I also found a number of references in 19th century books on dress to these sorts of styles -- some positive, some negative. Haweis was one, as Melanie also quotes. > "Any costumes which impair or contradict the natural lines of the > human frame are to be rejected as ugly, injurious, or both; for they > are the abuse of dress, not its proper use." --Mary Haweis, The Art > of Dress,1879 She wrote another book on "The Art of Decoration" that addresses some of the same matters. Some of her conclusions are rather far-fetched, as she had no compunctions about altering history to suit her theories ;-) --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Sun Oct 13 15:42:57 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 PAA20128 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 15:42:57 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9DJg23Y025296; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 13:42:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9DJg0cr002043; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 13:42:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from hekili.k12.hi.us (hekili.k12.hi.us [165.248.1.200]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9DJfccr001947 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 13:41:38 -0600 (MDT) Received: from makani by hekili.k12.hi.us (Sun Internet Mail Server sims.3.5.2000.03.23.18.03.p10) with ESMTP id <0H3X00A1KQMWXF@hekili.k12.hi.us> for h-costume@indra.com; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 09:40:08 -1000 (HST) From: annora In-reply-to: To: h-costume@indra.com Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-X-Sender: Subject: [h-cost] washing suggestions 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: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 09:41:09 -1000 (HST) Status: RO The question of possibly using sari fabric in English costume is prompting a question of my own. I have 12+ yards of Indian cotton that has a border woven of real metal thread and am wondering what the best way to wash it would be. There's a LOT of excess dye in the fabric, as when I handle it for even only a few minutes, I can clearly see my hands changing color. Normally I wouldn't hesitate to run it through the washer a few times but I'm worried that the metal thread border will be permanently twisted and crumpled. I'm not really concerned about the color changing--it could go several shades lighter and would still be okay but I don't want it to be streaky or have the border get crushed. I'm not planning on sewing anything with it--I use it for draped "costumes" so cutting it up and handwashing a piece at a time wouldn't work either. Would sloshing the whole 12 yards in the bathtub and loosely folding it to hang over a shower curtain rod work? If I had a yard and a clothesline I'd hang it up and hose it down. Thanks for any suggestions. --annora _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Sun Oct 13 16:01:02 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 QAA20245 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 16:01:02 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9DK123Y026250; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 14:01:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9DK11cr006063; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 14:01:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from shell.nightowl.net (IDENT:root@shell.nightowl.net [209.176.170.30]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9DK0Scr005936 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 14:00:28 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (robin@localhost) by shell.nightowl.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA04718 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 15:05:10 -0500 From: Robin Netherton To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] washing suggestions In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII 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: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 15:05:10 -0500 (CDT) Status: RO On Sun, 13 Oct 2002, annora wrote: > If I had a yard and a clothesline I'd hang it up and hose it down.

Kim -----Original Message----- From: h-costume-admin@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-admin@indra.com] On Behalf Of annora Sent: Sunday, October 13, 2002 2:41 PM To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: [h-cost] washing suggestions The question of possibly using sari fabric in English costume is prompting a question of my own. I have 12+ yards of Indian cotton that has a border woven of real metal thread and am wondering what the best way to wash it would be. There's a LOT of excess dye in the fabric, as when I handle it for even only a few minutes, I can clearly see my hands changing color. Normally I wouldn't hesitate to run it through the washer a few times but I'm worried that the metal thread border will be permanently twisted and crumpled. I'm not really concerned about the color changing--it could go several shades lighter and would still be okay but I don't want it to be streaky or have the border get crushed. I'm not planning on sewing anything with it--I use it for draped "costumes" so cutting it up and handwashing a piece at a time wouldn't work either. Would sloshing the whole 12 yards in the bathtub and loosely folding it to hang over a shower curtain rod work? If I had a yard and a clothesline I'd hang it up and hose it down. Thanks for any suggestions. --annora _______________________________________________ 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 Sun Oct 13 18:42:43 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 SAA21155 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 18:42:43 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9DMh03Y003214; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 16:43:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9DMh0cr009506; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 16:43:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp-int-01.mx.pitdc1.stargate.net (smtp-int-01.mx.pitdc1.stargate.net [206.210.69.149]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with SMTP id g9DMgMcr009395 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 16:42:23 -0600 (MDT) Received: (qmail 14451 invoked from network); 13 Oct 2002 22:42:21 -0000 Received: from dap-208-166-66-83.erie-tnt-1.pa.erie.net (HELO default) (208.166.66.83) by smtp-int-01.mx.pitdc1.stargate.net with SMTP; 13 Oct 2002 22:42:21 -0000 Message-ID: <002501c27308$b11d1140$5342a6d0@default> From: "Janet Davis" To: References: Subject: Re: [h-cost] washing suggestions 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 5.00.2919.6600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6600 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: "Janet Davis" 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: Sun, 13 Oct 2002 18:34:25 -0400 Status: RO > > If I had a yard and a clothesline I'd hang it up and hose it down.

I'm back from an SCA event (Crown Tourney), downloading my emails, and this topic caught my eye--I had this related experience today I know a lot of you would get a chuckle from.... See...I live in a state that only has 2 Hancock fabric stores (the nearest thing we've got out here to a decent brick-and-mortar fabric source), and one of them was located in the town our event was in, so this morning before we set off for home (6 hour drive, not counting stops. blech), we went to the Hancocks. Sorry, Robin...I kept my eye out for some blue wool for you...saw the right color on the wrong fabric. ;-( I *did* manage to score enough light-weight cream colored wool fabric, and a matching amount of rusty-orange (madder-dyed looking) wool to make some hose for my new outfits though. When the Nice Little Old Lady was cutting it, she apologized for any bits of glitter that might be on my pieces, since the previous customer had been buying something glittery for Halloween. The look of shock and horror on her face when I told her it was no big deal--that I was just going to take them home and throw them in the machine was *just priceless.* Well, dear, you know...it's wool, and it should be dry-cleaned, etc., etc. or it'll shrink...Her face didn't get any better when I cheerfully told her that that's exactly what I wanted it to do--to full, after all, isn't that what wool is supposed to do? I'm sure she's convinced I belong to the Dark Side, but geez, it's gonna be 14th/15th hose--no way would I continually want to have dry clean my socks! ;-P --sue, going back to spoiling her 4 kitties, and doing laundry _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Oct 14 00:12:38 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 AAA22651 for ; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 00:12:38 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9E4D23Y016976; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 22:13:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9E4D1cr014441; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 22:13:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail2.plugit.com (mail2.plugit.com [66.210.223.3]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9E4CTcr014310 for ; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 22:12:29 -0600 (MDT) Received: from costumegallery.com [66.210.221.207] by mail2.plugit.com with ESMTP (SMTPD32-7.10) id A5013A7100EE; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 23:16:01 -0500 Received: from penny [68.57.138.39] by costumegallery.com (SMTPD32-7.06) id A5315ED0212; Sun, 13 Oct 2002 23:16:49 -0500 Message-ID: <006801c27337$dc9457a0$0400a8c0@centrl01.va.comcast.net> From: "Penny Ladnier" To: References: <3.0.6.32.20021013100520.0087f660@pop.directcon.net> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Vintage Patterns X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4807.1700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4807.1700 X-Note: This E-mail was scanned by Plugit.com Electroshield (www.plugit.com) for viruses.

I have found lots of information (on the net and in books) that I doubt to be true. most of these sources are aimed at womens studies students (high school) and so now I wandering just what these girls are learning. Recently on the list was that oddity of victorian nipple piercing. Other things I have read about are: Iron renaissance corsets - I have only ever seen one picture of one and it looks to me to be a touture device and not some thing that would have been worn for fashion. 15"-20" waists in mid 1800's - It is my understanding that it wasn't until the late 1800's that waists got that small. In the earlier times small waists were an illusion caused by "big" skirts, "big" sleeves (causing visual width at the shoulders) and pointed bodices. Victorian women had ribs removed to gain smaller waists - Impossible, I say. They didn't have the medical knowledge back then. In the 1700's women wore corsets to make their waists smaller - From what I can tell it is the wide skirts and pointed bodices that create an illusion of a small waist. Corsets of this period are still very much "V" shaped and therefore designed to smooth and lift. Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. Does any one else know of any more of these "urban legands concerning the history of fashion", I'm beggining to find some of them rather ammusing.

These items are a quandary. They do exist--a couple of them--dated to the 16th/17th century, but they are really wierd and no-one truly knows what they were used for. People have suggested masque costume, dress dummies, orthopaedic devices, mannequins, forms for making leather corsets...who knows. I haven't seen any contemporary written reference to them.

Lots of theories about this one, but it could have been an orthopedic device for controlling scoliosis. Unfortunately, some people *still* require devices which look more tortuous than that for controlling scoliosis. Most of them are teenage girls too. > Victorian women had ribs removed to gain smaller waists - > Impossible, I say. They didn't have the medical knowledge back then. Not impossible and they did have enough medical knowledge to do it. It was done at least once, for an actress, who definitely survived. Actually, removing ribs is not as complicated as it sounds. If done properly you never enter the abdominal or chest cavity, which greatly reduces the chances of infection and other complications. It is more on a par with removing surface tumors, which was being done successfully even in the 15th and 16th C. As to surgery, the Victorians were actually doing a lot of it. It's why they wanted to study anatomy so much (to the point where people really did steal bodies for the medical schools.) They didn't have anasthesia as wonderful and safe as ours, but they still did it. (Keep in mind that Nitrous oxide came along in the 18th C and was used as anaesthesia. Chloroform came along for anaesthesia somewhere in the mid19thC.) Some operations were successful, others weren't. However, they were even doing successful (ie the patient lived for many years after the surgery) abdominal operations such as removal of ovarian tumors even at the beginning of the 19th C. (Surgery advances were more common in the US of the time than the rest of Europe.) (There are plenty of books about the history of medicine which well document this sort of thing.) Often times what starts our as a single person doing something becomes blown into "common practice".

Probably about that common. It happened but was not widespread. Imagine years from now the poor quality costume book saying "surgeries to make oneself look like the Barbie doll were frequently done so that women can have that fashionable look which was so prized in that time." But the sad thing is we *do* have people doing things to their bodies (anorexia and bulemia, as well as the people who go overboard with plastic surgery) now.

I've made an educated guess based on measuring the men in my life, but I'd like to check against a larger sampling. So, could I ask those of you on the list who are, or have handy, men of any size, to send me their measurements? What I need is the measurement around the leg at the base of the knee cap, the measurement around the leg at the midpoint between knee and crotch, and the natural waistline measurement.

Hi Nicole,

I'm on digest so please forgive me if someone has already answered your trimmings question. You could try www.kersen.com although their site seems to be down at the moment... also www.creativebeadcraft.co.uk is good for all sorts of sparkly things - it's worth getting hold of the paper catalogue as it has more stuff (I think) than the website. Also, Macculloch and Wallis have a huge selection of fabrics and trims, although not online, and the mail-order catalogue doesn't have many pictures. They are also pretty much always incredibly grumpy, in my limited experience, but they do have some good (if expensive) stuff. Their website is at  www.macculloch-wallis.co.uk

Hope this helps a bit,

Kate

I'm sure EVERYONE but me must already know this, but could someone possibly tell me what these books on surviving clothes from Queen Victoria's family are called? They sound VERY interesting.....
 
Many thanks,
 
Kate

Again, please forgive me if these comments have already been made. There are some iron 16th-century corsets in Corsets and Crinolines - Norah Waugh says they are "probably of foreign origin [ie not French or English] or designed for difficult or deformed figures".

I wouldn't have thought it's that unlikely to have had 15-20" waists in the mid-18th C - plenty of extant garments from the early 1800s have 20" waists or thereabouts, without the tightly laced undergarments of the later 1800s. Boned 18th century stays presumably still had some reducing effects. And people were a lot smaller then, in all directions! 

I'm not sure about rib removal, but what is true is that girls were put into corsets at a very young age, when their bones were still soft, so as they grew the bones grew into a different position to that which our un-restricted bones take up nowadays, making the all-important tiny waist much easier to achieve than it would be today.

Citation? I've heard this _said_ before, but never actually been given an actress' name or date.

Chloroform came along for anaesthesia somewhere > in the mid19thC.) The first operations to be done with anesthetic were _after_ the Civil War. Which really does put a much later limit on this type of procedure. Plus, "hospital fever" was common enough that I have a hard time believing that rib removal was done for vanity reasons. I'm going to also point out that a lot of the tracts on the medical dangers of tightlacing make it _sound_ as though the practices of tightlacing and rib removal were much more common than the actual physical and photographic evidence would suggest. There's a particular type of tract that was was sometimes labeled "A la mode, A la mort" that greatly exaggerated both the dangers and prevailance of both tightlacing and rib removal. > Some operations were successful, others weren't.

And it certainly depends on _which_ text about the history of medicine you read as to what you'll find. Which is why I'm asking for citations.

It took hours to put up, so I left it up as long as possible. When I woke up one morning, and poked at the ribbon to move it all back into place, what I had thought was the ribbon walked off my head.

Later I heard that same story except it was about the hairstyles of the 1700s. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Oct 14 18:09:03 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 SAA11982 for ; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 18:09:03 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9EM713Y019274; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 16:07:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9EM71vA012289; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 16:07:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from hotmail.com (f42.pav2.hotmail.com [64.4.37.42]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9EM66vA011861 for ; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 16:06:06 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 15:06:00 -0700 Received: from 12.231.158.181 by pv2fd.pav2.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 22:06:00 GMT X-Originating-IP: [12.231.158.181] From: "Jennifer Sena" To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] historical costume-funny Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 14 Oct 2002 22:06:00.0829 (UTC) FILETIME=[E17C12D0:01C273CD] 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, 14 Oct 2002 15:06:00 -0700 Status: RO We went across the street to Jack-In-The-Box for >lunch, still wearing our floral-calico farm-women Victorians (Ardenwood >does the 1890s).

I think it was because the cat slept on my pillow. I washed it a couple times a week and wore it in a braid. when it started itching I thought it was lice and used the shampoo and washed it a gazzillion times and finally had to usse a really strong pesticide on it. considering that women didn't wash their hair that often before the twentieth century, I think that it is likelier than not that they did have infestationss. the back of my head itches just thinking about it. maryann At 12:39 PM 10/14/2002 -0700, Carolyn Kayta Barrows wrote: >>I'm looking for urban legands concerning the history of fashion. > >In the early 1960s I heard one about a female who ratted her hair and >didn't comb it out again till after vermin took up residence.

I find this hysterical considering how costume movies are now common, and one can see modern women who obviously have not been corseted all their lives wearing corsets, running around, dancing, riding horses, etc., without any ill effects. I think the image of the "restrictive" corset as a metaphor for restrictive social conditions is just too good for many people to resist, no matter what the facts are. After all, if all women in the past couldn't move in their corsets, its a wonder any of them managed all their back-breaking work. A few years ago on this list someone wrote in to ask if a woman could "really" fence in a corset, the way Catherine Zeta Jones did in the Zorro movie out at the time. I guess the evidence of his/her own eyes wasn't good enough!

I don't think lice infestation would necessarily have been more common, at least not for that particular reason. (We had this conversation back during the "no-shampoo method" discussion.) Any pediatrician will confirm that lice prefer clean hair. Oilier hair is harder for them to stay on. Many a parent has learned this the hard way. As for fleas: Individual flea species tend to prefer specific hosts -- that is, cat fleas don't normally like people, and people fleas don't normally like cats ... unless their preferred host is not available when they're hungry. People who live in close quarters with animals don't typically pick up the animal fleas, assuming there are plenty of the appropriate kinds of animals around for the fleas to choose from. (In your case, you would most likely have gotten your cat's fleas if there was no cat around when the fleas needed to feed.) But in a part of the world where human fleas are common and people live in close quarters, they'll spread fleas around among themselves. (I'm afraid know much more about fleas than I have any right to know, having written articles about plague.) --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Mon Oct 14 21:48:07 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 VAA12976 for ; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 21:48:07 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9F1l33Y009578; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 19:47:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9F1l1vA012665; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 19:47:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from franka.aracnet.com (franka.aracnet.com [216.99.193.44]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9F1kHvA012509 for ; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 19:46:17 -0600 (MDT) Received: from xena (216-99-218-31.dsl.aracnet.com [216.99.218.31]) (authenticated bits=0) by franka.aracnet.com (8.12.5/8.12.5) with ESMTP id g9F1hABX005253 for ; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 18:43:11 -0700 From: "Wanda Pease" To: Subject: RE: [h-cost] Fwd: Archaeological Footwear Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) In-Reply-To: <5.0.2.1.0.20021012142357.00ab1ec0@jagor.srce.hr> Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.6700 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, 14 Oct 2002 18:47:10 -0700 Status: RO -----Original Message----- From: h-costume-admin@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-admin@indra.com]On Behalf Of Jadran Kale Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 5:25 AM To: h-costume@net.indra.com Subject: [h-cost] Fwd: Archaeological Footwear >From: "Rainer Atzbach M.A." >Subject: Rezension Stepping Through Time >Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 15:47:03 +0200 >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >Olaf Goubitz /Carol van Driel-Murray/Willy Groenman-van Waateringe: Stepping >through Time.

There are at least four I have seen photos of, and one was late 18thC, very odd looking but solid (Bissonette on Fashion site has this), this is where the shop sign theory is written down btw.. maybe others havce suggested it but this is one instance of a museum saying it. Two appear in Corsets and Crinolines, and these will be the two Drea refers too(?) I feel that these are genuine... but their purpose? There are highly decorative, especially compared to that solid thing from the 18th C. The fourth is online... I shall hunt for my links.. as I asked about this maybe this time or earlier last year. It's like a mesh with a sweet heart neckline long body narrow waist and solid basque. There *is* evidence for the orthopaedic theory, and Valerie Steele exacmines it in her latest book... again I have a link to that to find... But it's certainly not the *only* reason. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/ae/books/ch1/1153123 excerpts of her book. Including this text: Ambroise Paré (c. 1510-90), a French army surgeon who became famous for reforming and modernizing the practice of surgery, described these metal corsets in his work, stating that they were used "to amend the crookednesse of the Bodie." "In order to correct and to hide such a defect, they will be made to wear iron corsets, which shall be full of holes so that they will not be so heavy, and they will be well fitted and padded so as not to hurt a t all, and will be changed often if the patient ... [is] still growing." Paré also suggested metal boots to straighten a crooked leg. According to him, some deformities were congenital, others the result of accidents. In addition, he believed that some girls became "hunched and deformed from having had their bodies too tightly bound," and he complained that mothers put their girls in tight clothes "with the aim of making their waists smaller." Although Paré was a critic of fashionable corsetry, which he thought carried the risk of deformity by incorrect or excessive binding, he was an advocate of orthopedic corsets. Metal corsets were still sometimes recommended in the eighteenth century to correct crooked spines, although canvas stays were more commonly used (for example, by Alexander Pope); and, indeed, orthopedic corsetry continues to be used by doctors today as part of the treatment for scoliosis. http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2001/0201.larson.html review of her book http://wwics.si.edu/OUTREACH/WQ/WQCURR/WQBKPER/PREVBOOK/S02BK2.HTM Another review... and the note about constipation.. it certainly is more than probable.. though again it all depends on the person wearing the corset and perhaps the environment. Personal experience.. let's not worry too much about that;) And someone took notes at a lecture by her: http://corsethome.eu.org/corhist.htm so take this as you should a 2nd hand source.. I know my notes were often patchy while at lectures. michaela _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Tue Oct 15 00:26:59 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 AAA13547 for ; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 00:26:58 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9F4Q23Y017717; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 22:26:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9F4Q1vA026688; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 22:26:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from taisp2.in-tch.com (taisp2.in-tch.com [199.96.34.34]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9F4PPvA026567 for ; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 22:25:26 -0600 (MDT) Received: from in-tch.com (msla-r1a1m58.in-tch.com [216.166.191.58]) by taisp2.in-tch.com (8.11.2/8.11.2) with ESMTP id g9F4AGn28623 for ; Mon, 14 Oct 2002 22:10:17 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <3DAB9A33.A2531C0E@in-tch.com> From: Sue Clemenger X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en]C-CCK-MCD {Montage;Touch America} (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] Book - Women who ruled References: <200210141734.g9EHYKuw015754@net.indra.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 X-Reply-To: mooncat@in-tch.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, 14 Oct 2002 22:31:47 -0600 Status: RO I don't need the library for this one!

(It helped, but didn't do enough, and she did eventually have major surgery.) I stayed with her a couple of times, and strapped her into it. It was heavy plastic, looked dreadfully uncomfortable, though she said it wasn't too bad once she was used to it, and really did make a difference - I remember being able to tighten it several notches beyond where she'd been the previous visit. (Which meant not that she was thinner, but that she was straighter.) She only wore it at night because it restricted movement too much for daytime. And I've wondered if the iron ones were orthopedic ever since!

The greater dyeworks made "luxury products of superior quality using only the best fabrics and colorfast dyes". The lesser dyeworks which catered for the lower end of the cliental used cheaper and less stable dyes. It appears from a previous section on fabrics that these lesser fabrics were of hemp, wool and linen and the greater dyeworks concentrated on silk and wool. Unfortunately the authors do not site directly the evidence that lead to these conclusions however an extensive list of books for further reading is included as an appendix.

Unfortunately the authors do not site directly the evidence that lead to these conclusions however an extensive list of books for further reading is included as an appendix. I suspect this will be confirmed and if I find out any further evidence I shall post it.

I agree, while girls certainly were starting to wear sturdy linen stays and then corded once and soon stays from earliest childhood on I think it is big bulls' droppings to say they were unable to breathe or move. There are enough paintings surviving showing little girls in very tight/snug looking bodices playing and bouncing about. Caveat Reader: There is, though, an account of John Evelyn's niece being 2 or thereabouts who died because when she was laced into stays far too tightly her soft ribs caved in and pierced internal organs. BUT I have to say that while this account exist from the 17th c. we have no way of knowing how scientifically true it is.

Macculloch and Wallis have a huge selection of fabrics and trims, although not online, and the mail-order catalogue doesn't have many pictures.

I would believe this about much of Italy and the Germanies in the mid to late 1400s and early 1500s, but not about England in the mid to late 1500s, where sleeves are narrower and sometimes not the same colour as the puffings. There's a picture of Elizabeth I, in a red dress and carrying a three-colour fan, and another of her sometimes called the Phoenix Portrait, and an unknown Elizabethan woman in a red dress, with simple gold and black trim, and a white shirt embroidered in red roses and green leaves, and I have heard this one about all of those dresses, even tho the shirts are clearly not made of the same stuff as the puffing is.

That's very true -- and considering the absolute horror that people then had of ricketts and other deforming diseases, I can see how some people might put their children into these things. There's an article from the British Costume Society called "The Unfashionable Use of Stays", on 18th c. stays (I think most of the iron ones predate the 18th c., but the principle is still relevant). It talks about stays being used to promote correct posture in both young boys and girls, in an age when ricketts were very much a concern... Some stays were advertised as having no obvious knots on the interior, so that the wearer's body wouldn't be deformed by trying to avoid an uncomfortable spot. My grandmother had polio as a child. Her father made her wear orthopedic boots and take ballet lessons, according to what my Mom has said, to strenghthen her muscles. She considered it torture at the time, but it obviously worked, as she was later in life a very graceful and accomplished dancer (not professionally; she was an art teacher). I think someone noted, when these iron corsets came up before, that a few of them have holes around the edges which might have been used for attaching a padded lining. Maybe some were orthopedic devices, some were shop signs, some were guild signs, who knows... -- Mara _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume From h-costume-admin@indra.com Tue Oct 15 09:03:13 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 JAA31229 for ; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 09:03:13 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9FD2O3Y005350; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 07:02:25 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9FD2FvA019409; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 07:02:18 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail1.radix.net (mail1.radix.net [207.192.128.31]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9FD1MvA019141 for ; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 07:01:23 -0600 (MDT) Received: from saltmine.radix.net (saltmine.radix.net [207.192.128.40]) by mail1.radix.net (8.12.2/8.12.2) with ESMTP id g9FD1Knp011733 for ; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 09:01:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Kevin & Mara Riley To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] historical costume-funny In-Reply-To: <4.3.1.2.20021014003501.00c90380@mail.frys.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII 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, 15 Oct 2002 09:01:20 -0400 (EDT) Status: RO When I was 14 and living in Monterey, CA, I was travelling north to an SCA event in the San Francisco area.

The giggly teenage girls who were waiting tables got an eyeful of his Italian short doublet, poofy shirt, curled long hair, and multicolored tights, and, after conferring, sent over our waitress to ask, "Are you in a play?" "Yes," he replied. "West Side Story." She was quite happy with the answer, which means either she doesn't know the play, or else she was just happy to have a reason and didn't want to think much about whether it made sense. --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 Oct 15 09:07:08 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 JAA31241 for ; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 09:07:07 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9FD663Y005501; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 07:06:07 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9FD63vA020435; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 07:06:04 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail1.radix.net (mail1.radix.net [207.192.128.31]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9FD58vA020162 for ; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 07:05:09 -0600 (MDT) Received: from saltmine.radix.net (saltmine.radix.net [207.192.128.40]) by mail1.radix.net (8.12.2/8.12.2) with ESMTP id g9FD56np012247 for ; Tue, 15 Oct 2002 09:05:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Kevin & Mara Riley To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] historical costume-funny In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII 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, 15 Oct 2002 09:05:07 -0400 (EDT) Status: RO Heard a joke about that...

The fabric needs to be a lightweight evenweave, and soft, and preferably white or soft white. I would really love to find something for less than $30/yard. I would also prefer to find linen woven with longer fibers, not chopped up short ones. Is this possible??!!? Help! The linen links I have are for inexpensive stuff, and are not what I'm looking for.

The lacing of clothing can indeed do this, especially if it is done suddenly (like an angry caretaker trying to put a corset on a small recalcitrant child and pulling.yanking harder and faster than they should.) Or a child who has been kicked in the ribs "to make them behave", then (with their little rib fractures) is laced into a corset. (Child abuse was not invented in the current era. It has been going on probably since the beginning of time. We are just less tolerant of it and finding more ways of making the public aware that it is happening. Many people believe that because it doesn't happen in *their* household that it isn't really as bad as people say it is. What they don't realize is that sometimes it's worse.) You betcha, it's possible. Also, I've seen Xrays of women who had been laced since they were small. (Those early xray developers must have been just having a blast because so many of the still existing xrays from that time are of women such as this, with far fewer of men.) The organs get changed in interesting ways from it. They don't just get moved, they get permanently distorted even if the corset is not meant to be super tight. In the early medical textbooks talking about the mechanics of breathing, they thought that women (because of their gender, not realizing it was the effects of the corsetry) had a different way of breathing. Also, medical textbooks talk about the problems of women fainting (probably because they couldn't increase what doctors call "minute ventilation" when they were exerting or emotionally upset.) What this says is that even if women are not doing the type of tightlacing which the fetishists insist was common (which I doubt was common), that corsets which are used to shape the figure can cause medical problems. I suspect that there were women in the Victorian age who (because of vanity) did overlace to the point where they couldn't do active things. They probably used it as an excuse not to (because they didn't want to do so anyway.) There are a lot of people *now* who use what they've done to themselves as an excuse not to do something they don't want to do anyway.

Some of the 19th century ones have shoulder straps and garters attached so there is a little tension to keep the waist at the waist but I don't think that attached garters are usual for that timeframe. Also do I need to cut the waistline a little differently as I wear a DD cup bra but don't have a proportionate waist? ie 48 bust but 38 waist with an underbust of 38 inches. I've not had good luck with 19th century corsets without the shoulder straps and garters. Suggestions? Cassandra __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I believe that they will mail if you already know what you want- they don't have a catalog online that I'm aware of. It runs about $10 a yard which is very reasonable for cloth of this quality. Unfortunately, they have several white linens at that price, so I don't know how to tell you to differentiate. The sales help is generally very helpful in person, so it might bwe owrth a call to see what they can do for you. I an, unfortunately, away from home so I don't have the number handy but if you call information and ask for Vogue Fabrics in Evanston, Illinois they should be able to help you.

Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2002 11:55:23 -0400 Greetings to all, Sorry for cross-posting to so many, but I'm looking for some _really_ nice, very lightweight Irish linen to make a period Elizabethan shirt out of for my husband (and Christmas is coming much too quickly!). The fabric needs to be a lightweight evenweave, and soft, and preferably white or soft white. I would really love to find something for less than $30/yard. I would also prefer to find linen woven with longer fibers, not chopped up short ones. Is this possible??!!? Help! The linen links I have are for inexpensive stuff, and are not what I'm looking for. Thanks very much for any help, Ysabiau de Mortagne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I much prefer effigy-corset type straps (wide at the center back, and narrowing to points that tie to the front neckline) as they are adjustable and don't dig into the armpit as much. With such a large differential between bust and waist size, I also recommend cutting the corset pattern at the side back to create a front and back section, with the back center and front center on the straight--otherwise the back center edge will be on the bias and stretch too much. Tying the farthingale to the corset ends up serving the same purpose as garters on a victorian corset: the weight of the farthingale and the skirts over it keep the corset from riding up too much. It also keeps the farthingale from slipping around and helps to distribute the weight of the dress more evenly.

Go to the portion of Drea's site where she gives instructions for drafting the bodice for a gown for directions on strap placement. Alternatively, just cut out two 1" wide strips of the cardboard you're using for your mockup (I always draft mine out on posterboard and then adjust that during the fitting stage) and tape the straps on where they look right. A tip -- I find that it helps to put the straps on stays rather close together in the back, especially if they are widely placed in front, so that they are less likely to slip off the shoulders. This is probably why the Effigy corset (also on Drea's site) has that 'v' shape at the back, where the straps come together. If you do this, you might want to make the back higher, then add the straps. cheers, Mara On Tue, 15 Oct 2002, Cascio Michael wrote: > GEtting ready to start on Drea's corset generator and > was wondering how a Renaissance/Elizabethan corset > stays in place without riding up or down.

There have been lots of hits on that page and Tripod are stingy with their bandwidth allowance apparently. They also keep my page offline longer and longer each time. I'm looking around for a better free web host for that section of my site. In the meantime the page is online *right now* if you still want to look. :) Bella http://careers.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

You're welcome, and thank you. :) I'm sorry Tripod is such a pain. I've also got a Geocities account and they're much better with bandwidth limits and getting me back online. What I rally need is one free site with about 100Mgs of space that allows me lots of bandwidth. Will look into it. :) Bella http://careers.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

I know a lot of women my age (mid-30s) who have foot deformities from wearing extremely pointy-toed shoes. Winkle-pickers and extremely pointed pumps were popular when we were in high school (1980s).

They just don't have enough support and they really aren't meant to be worn outdoors. But I just found a company called Saugus Shoes that makes every kind of bridal shoe you can imagine (and quite a few you can't!) and they have several differente types of ballet style shoes, including one with a real, =hard= leather sole! They also have the added benefit of being dyeable, since they're designed for bridal use. I'm sure there are probably many of you who already know about this company, but I thought I'd share it anyway, just in case. Here's the link to the page with the ballet slipper shoes: http://saugusshoes.com/catalog.html?page=13&cat=shoe The fourth one in the second row of pics is the one that's closest to a real 19th century slipper.

Possibly -- although I heard the story from several people in Gryphonsguard (sp?) who (when they told it) were the actual participants in the incident, at some restaurant in Palo Alto (the location of Stanford University) after a day-event there. After the off-hand quip, they went out and actually had "Stanford University Time-Travel Club" id cards printed up which I saw with my own eyes. My memory says that Eric Foxworthy was one of the participants, so it might even theoretically be possible to track down specifics. The event was nearly a couple decades ago, so there's plenty of time for it to have turned into a legend, and even for other people, having heard the story, to have re-used the same line on other occasions. All in all, the version above is astoundingly similar in detail to what I heard. The main differences are that I believe the way I heard it they had just gotten back from the 15th century, but presumably at some point when the connection with Stanford University had become less relevant to the story, and the name got shifted to "Stamford", this suggested a change of venue to 1066 to give "Stamford" a context. I'm absolutely fascinated by the dynamics of how modern folk-tales spread and evolve -- especially by the way a particularly good story will diversify and get attached to multiple people (either by the story-telling process or because the events, once known, were repeatable), and how particular people become "story-magnets", having large numbers of generic adventures attributed to them and given specifics. The process gives you a good hands-on idea of how things like the Arthurian legend cycle developed!

Well, here in the southern hemisphere it's of course Spring heading into a long, hot, dry (in South Australia) summer. Sewing anything heavy and time consuming is out, but I might once again try blackwork (I usually get impatient and put it down). Small, light, easy projects are the best thing. In autumn/winter I do like to sew more involved/fancier/heavier garments, although I don't usually plan them, unless there's an event I want something new for. :) Bella http://careers.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

But it doesn't do that with everyone. While I've never worn a 1900's corset, I regularly wear a 16th C corset without any problems at all (even though I have asthma bad enough that it has increased the lower flair of my ribcage). I have also, without any breathing difficulty worn an 18th C corset for more than 14 hours (from 10am until at least midnight) at Costume Con one year (St. Louis). I had forgotten that the previous time I wore it I had not completely closed the lacing so that the edges were touching but had about 2" between. So, I was overlaced by at least 2". Yet, no breathing problems even when I danced. (Well, not more than when I dance without a corset anyway.) It is probably pretty individual.

The website has a store locator engine, and you just put in your city or area code and it lists all the bridal stores near you that carry their products. I've already seen them in one bridal store, and checking the LA area it seems that virtually every bridal store carries their shoes in stock. I would assume that if you need a pair in a certain size and/or style they could special order it. The one shop I saw the pair at had them for sale for $65 (but they're a very high end store that is in the process of going out of business. Everything was half off). I've also found then at a couple of websites, for between $25 and $30. That sounds like a good deal.

When I wear Bjarne's blue dress and am nicely laced into it I can't breathe. Any physical activity, even just walking a bit faster, is impossible, the breathing only works on the very upper part of the lungs, nothing on the lower, no deeper breath, and all I can do is what the guys like watching (har har *growls*) which makes the cleavage 'jiggle'.

Yep, that includes historicised clothes for mundane wear, I looked into my wardrobed and realised while they are stuffed with costumes I have 'nothing' for work. AHRGH! So I finished a black and gold justacucorps, a red silk 1700 waistcoat, just finished yesterday a peach damask Italian surcote, and am working on a new shirt, eh, well, several.

This winter I will probably do pretty much as I have been doing. Those long winter nights around here aren't cold enough to keep most Californians indoors. If this Winter is especially wet, we might get as much as 15 inches of rain. Last New Year's Day, for example, I went for a stroll on the beach in San Francisco near Cliff House, coincidentally with about 1000 other people. It wasn't raining, and the sun was out. I didn't go in the water, but some of the dogs chasing Frisbees, and little children, did. (Obligatory costume content: I wore jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, a jacket, and my usual shoes - no mittens, muffler, or hat. There were maybe as many as 10 surfers, all wearing wet-suits.) But seriously, many living history sites hereabouts close down in like October, and don't open up again till like March, on account of the possibility of rain. So we spend the down-time sewing for next year. I still need to start/finish my Dickens' dress, and should really finish my Ardenwood dress too.

Really squishy, with lots of boobage. So, a well-fitting corset (I do 16th c. stuff) doesn't cause me too much constriction/grief, although it is annoying not being able to bend at the waist. However, let me gain 10, 20 pounds, and then I can still technically fit into the thing, but the lacing's that much tighter (fighting more flesh) and *then* I've noticed breathing restriction issues. I also notice something similar with some of the ItalianRen dresses I've made--a certain amount of containment seems to be okay, but not serious compression. What's interesting about another style I've run across (Robin's fitted gowns) is that the boobage is definitely confined and shaped (quite firmly), but I didn't notice any constriction/problems breathing *at all,* and I'd not thought that possible! So, perhaps some of our differences in experiences with breathing in corsets or confining bodices depend on the style of the garment as well? Would women in certain socio-economic strata, and certain time periods, have been wearing more -or less- restrictive clothing? And the foundation garments be correspondingly more or less restrictive as well? That'd be interesting to compare....do a study of different corset/stays/pairs of bodys types and how they affect movement, breathing, etc. Someone could walk their way right up from the 16th c. into the 20th.....

You're not the first person to notice this. I've costumed a lot of singers, who are very leery of anything constricting. They tell me (often with some surprise) that the fitted dress actually encourages them to sing from the diaphragm like they're supposed to. There's no restriction below the level of the ribcage. As for the upper body, it's fit to the ribs, with the breast tissue pushed up and out of the way. There's enough flexibility in the fabric itself to accommodate normal breathing expansion (and muscle motion) at the ribcage level, and when you need to breathe deeply, you automatically do it from lower down. This is very different from corsets that are meant to cinch the waist, which can certainly interfere with deep breathing and singing. But the 14th-century look emphasized a belly swell. The illusion of the small waist comes from (1) the fitted ribcage, and (2) the shaped small of the back. (I personally think the small of the back is underutilized in today's fashion. It's an extremely sexy, shapely feature on nearly every woman.) --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 Oct 16 09:33:11 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 JAA22998 for ; Wed, 16 Oct 2002 09:33:10 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9GDW13Y002085; Wed, 16 Oct 2002 07:32:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9GDW03P029525; Wed, 16 Oct 2002 07:32:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pfepa.post.tele.dk (pfepa.post.tele.dk [193.162.153.2]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9GDVp3P029478 for ; Wed, 16 Oct 2002 07:31:52 -0600 (MDT) Received: from CPQ21932199711 (0xc3d7be56.boanxx5.adsl.tele.dk [195.215.190.86]) by pfepa.post.tele.dk (Postfix) with SMTP id D5DD0481118 for ; Wed, 16 Oct 2002 15:31:49 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: <005201c27518$80dc47a0$4096fea9@CPQ21932199711> From: "Bjarne og Leif Drews" To: References: <5.1.1.6.2.20021016054007.01ec29f0@saltmine.radix.net> Subject: Re: [h-cost] keeping a corset in place?

I try to pad each area separately as the person I want to replicate usually has different hip and ribcage proportions than my stand. I purchased a "C" cup bra to get a bust after covering the stand with padding. But the part I wanted to tell you about was to tie a piece of twill tape around the waist, especially with quilt batting. The waist area has a tendency to expand out and tying a string around it will keep the measurement true.

So...maybe one of the differences between the constriction levels of various corsetry/body-shaping clothing involves what particular part of the torso is being compressed, and into what particular shape? I'm only (personally) familiar with the early/mid 16th c. "cone" silhouette, and not at all with the various elongated/not-elongated, bow-fronted, pigeon-bellied, hourglassed variations that came after.

The thing was so well done that it held up the dress and did not confine my floating ribs or musclature. It also did not squish the upper part of my frontage. :) Another thing that works for singers--another singing friend made an Italian gown which was of the attatch your own sleeves variety, so essentially a sleeveless dress. It had a bodice which stopped just below the breast line, and was laced on the side. The softly gathered skirt then dropped gracefully from the bodice to the floor. It did not require any kind of additional support--the bodice was solidly constructed, and did what it was supposed to without any additional help.

I've often wondered how in the world they got their feet into those long, thin shoes; they can't have all had feet that shape! I have narrow feet, and even mine wouldn't fit most of the period shoes I've seen. Anyway, the quote was something to the effect that women wore shoes that deformed their feet into that long, thin shape. I wore some pointy-toed shoes as a teen in the 80s, but not on a regular basis, so don't have those foot deformities, I'm happy to say! But the current styles, which have a block-ish toe, all look like duck-feet to me. My feet aren't shaped like _that_, either... I think I'll stick with my Swedish clogs. -- Mara On Tue, 15 Oct 2002, Lee Thompson-Herbert wrote: > Don't underestimate the effects of vanity.

As Nicole has observed, you do indeed breathe differently in a corset, but it shouldn't make you unable to breathe. I find that my Elizabethan corset allows me to project very well (anyone who has heard me yelling during Queen's parade can attest that I have volume while marching briskly). In addition, I can also do half an hour of vigorous Renaissance dance twice a day without any trouble. And the year I worked Fright Fest at Great America, I did it while wearing a theatrical version of a Victorian bustle dress that included a period correct corset and I chased adolescent boys all over my area without difficulty. No! Not for that reason!!!!! I also found that it gave my lower back great support so that at the end of a long 10 hour day spent on concrete, my feet were killing me but my back felt fine. Now I need to make myself an 18th century corset and feel how that style works! Karen ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

The 'wasp waist' look/feel of that corset is very different from the cone-shaped look/feel of the 17th and 18th centuries. The only time my 18th c. stays have been a problem was when I had an asthma fit at a very dusty, hot event; but I think the heat was more of a problem than the stays. I can lace them up pretty tightly, but because there's one long lace, you can't easily lace your waist tighter than your rib cage, and the lacing 'slips'. (And I generally don't lace that tightly anyway -- snug, not tight.) With a Victorian corset, where the bottom can be laced at a different tension than the top part, you can definitely cinch the waist in a lot more. -- Mara On Wed, 16 Oct 2002, Sue Clemenger wrote: > I hadn't thought of it in quite that way (silly me), but you're right. > So...maybe one of the differences between the constriction levels of > various corsetry/body-shaping clothing involves what particular part of > the torso is being compressed, and into what particular shape?

When i started for real to make 18th century corsets, when i made some costumes for the hairdressers who makes historical hairstyles, i was tempted to make the waist's as small as possible. The models were young ladies, who really didnt mind me lacing them tightly, as a matter of fact i think they liked it as much as i did. This is a habit i have made from then, and perhaps i did make Nicoles bodice two tight. Gennerally i think that most people who asks you to make a costume, know that the corseting is a prime priority for making a good figure, and they have all read that ladies fainted and heard themself with corsets. And many of the ladies, are very interrested to feel how it is to wear those machines. And they are ready to suffer a little for it.

Unfortunately, I can't remember the lady's name to give her credit. The lady in question had left the site of the Pennsic War to go to the local supermarket, a place that sees many garbed SCAdians those 2 weeks. While picking through the produce, she saw a calico bonnet a couple aisles over and immediately felt irrate. Thoughts like "Why can't some people get a clue" and "How 19th century!" occupied her mind. When she saw the rest of the lady at the checkout, it still took her a minute or two to re-adjust her mindset to realize that this was a real Amish lady rather than a badly dressed SCAdian.

I too am of the squishy persuasion, which means that modern Spandex sports bras are useless to me. So I have started using my 'house-wife's-model' Victorian corset in place of a sports bra when I Morris dance. Mine has shoulder straps to prevent my bouncing right out the top, as our style (Cotswold, Adderbury Village, and some Border) involves a certain amount of jumping-up-and-down steps. The straps help when I polka at Dickens' Fair, same reason. I can't bend at the waist very well in the thing, which means I can't drive to and from dance events while wearing it, but it does the job of a sports bra very nicely. It has three separate laces, one just for the 2 pairs of holes at the waist, one for all the 5 pairs above that, and one for all the 6 pairs below that. I don't think this is period (for any period), but it means that the waist lacing doesn't gap and that the abdominal lacing is never too tight. It has about two inches of 'spring' in back. The best thing about being 'of a certain age' is that nobody expects me to have a tiny waist. In fact, I don't think having a tiny waist, at my age, is period anyway, for any period. So while I could corset down to a 26 inch waist in 1973, at 150 pounds, I feel fine, these days, about only corseting down to 40 inches comfortably. I weigh more now, and am more than twice the age I was in 1973. (My costumes are better too.)

We do a primitive camp out with the extended family over the 4 day holiday. It's out in a high mesa area, with ponderosa pines and a small, cascading stream nearby. Mt. Hood can be seen in the distance. The temperature can range anywhere from 25 - 60 degrees (F) and I wear many layers! I took Drea's Tudor/Elizabethan class and bought Margo's pattern and have the idea of probably making up a Spanish loose gown - don't know if that will be THE project for this winter because I also want to do a Flemish outfit - don't have the stamina to do both. I think I can do either one from my current fabric stash. Oh, and I want to make the dress on the cover of Fitting and Proper (on the right). A close friend belongs to a Rev War group and we want to be able to play with them. They have been invited to Williamsburg and are busy making new clothes and practicing their military duties. My husband wants some help in drafting and sewing a waistcoat. The fabric is a beautiful creamy gold brocade, with small flowers - no I didn't embroider them. My next embroidery project will be a blackwork shift. Oh, that reminds me, this past weekend I found a 1940s heavy linen dresser scarf done up in a simple blackwork design. Quite inspiring! As usual, too many desires and not enough time, patience and stamina - but we have a whole house full of fabric and trims!

Surviving the Iron Age This program brings history to life by exploring what daily life was like in the past. In this four-part series, 17 British "time travelers" volunteer to live for seven weeks as their ancestors did millennia before. They live in roundhouses in remote western Wales, cooking, hunting and gathering, and maintaining their settlement as ancient Celts did. Their early optimism is quickly challenged not only by the rigorous lifestyle, but by unexpected issues such as severe illness, dissatisfaction with their chosen leader, and deep conflicts among group members.

Of course prices fluctuate by time and place so these can only be approximate. Wool, fine (1 yard) 4s. Wood, second grade (1 yard) 2s. Linen (1 yard) 6d. Canvas (12 ells) 3s. 9 1/2d. A shilling (s.) is worth 12 pence (d.) A knight might make 2s. per day, a carpenter 4 1/2d per day and an Agricultural Laborer (male) 8d. at harvest or 3-4d. at other seasons. A Female Agricultural Laborer might make 2d. per day. So linen is 25% of the cost of second grade wool and 12 1/2% of the cost of fine wool which certainly explains its popular choice (apart from its textile properties) for linings, cheap wall hangings, household linen and underwear.

I usually use batting with a layer of Ace bandage wrapped over the top (spiral wrap, like a mummy). (Ace bandage, in case that doesn't translate well, is a reusable, non-adhesive elastic bandage like you would wrap around a sprained ankle. It comes in rolls of several widths--I prefer 4" or 6" wide.) The bandage gives a firmer outer surface and is better to pin into if you need to. I find it much easier to control the measurements this way.

Hi, I am new to this list, and I'm hoping some of the good people here can advise me.  I am interested in the following Butterick patterns, and I'm wondering what I would have to change in them to make them perfectly historically-accurate
 
#3012 - Bustle costume
#6693 - Civil War ball-sytle gown
#6694 - Civil War day gown
 
Could someone give me some suggestions?  Thanks!

We're watching "The Ship" thisd week, which while wobnderful in its way, has many of the same characteristics. Thankfully the volunteers aren't in costume and aren't trying to recreate the life on Capt Cooks's "Endeavour" in painful detail. They're eating the same diet, and doing the same work, and attempting to navigate with period restrictions. But that's about the limit. At least 6 of the crew are professionals. (It would be impossible to sail this ship with a whole crew of complete novices, after all.) And this time the handful of middle-aged historians are working along side instead of observing from a distance! In that way, it's really more honest that 1800 House or Frontier House or whatever. And as always, it's kind of fun to watch how surprised the experts are at things which many re-creation/re-enactment folks would have understood without thinking. Or so we believe. ;) This one's better than average. On the History Channel this week.

Actually, it's period for edwardian S-shaped and straight-front corsets. Otherwise, you run the risk of having it too tight (and somewhat deformed looking) at the hip. I think I actually had mine laced with the four middle pairs eyelets as the waist, as mine was a straight-front style. Even when I was very thin, I didn't need to add padding at the hip and ribcage, which was fairly normal for that sort of corset. It helped create the illusion of a tiny waist without having to be laced extremely tight.

If they were standing, and expected to be still for more than maybe 20 minutes, they were probably fainting from circulation problems rather than the corsets.

Wellies??? *splutters coffee with laughter* I stopped watching at that point, I should have continued, that's just too hilarious. It would have been SO erasy to make their own shoes, there are bog finds from the period, roughly. Lovely lil soft and fitting sandals...

I use foam rubber sheeting for the underneath layers, and cotton batting for the last layer or two. I purchased foam sheeting (it is polyurethane foam rubber you would use in cushions and matresses) in a variety of widths from 1/4 inch all the way up to 1 inch thick, and cotton quilt batting that only comes in one thickness as far as I can tell. The different thicknesses gives me more leeway in getting the proper size. I usually pad the dress form in sections ie.. hips, waist/trunk, breasts, shoulders. The main reason for this is most larger women do not come anywhere near the industry standard of 10 to 12 inches from breast to waist, then waist to hips. (36/24/36)... or some arbitrary amount like that. So padding the entire form with a layer or two of stuff would not translate properly. I set my adjustable dress form to its largest size and begin wrapping, measuring as I go. I have foam strips that run from about 12 inches wide, to as small as 2 inches wide, to accomodate the shape I am working on. I have large teardrop shapes for the breast area, shoulder shapes for the shoulders etc and I use foam gussets to mold it around the hips and cut outs to conform it to the smaller areas.When I get within one inch of the size I want I then wrap the form with the cotton batting. You can sort of stretch it to make it go over the hips/curves of the form and sort of compress it for the smaller areas. I have big elastic bands that I have made to hold the entire thing together as I work. I then cover this with a tight spandex tube I made to give it a more workable surface. I have different sizes of them. I also use old shoulder pads a girlfriend gave me to help mold the breast area. Since dress forms only come in a size "b" cup, I do a lot of adjusting in that area to get the dimension I need. I have been thinking lately of building my own dress form, a sort of basic shape with no breasts, and slight hips that starts at a standard size 24..and then using molds to create foam shapes to get what I need. It would save me so much time in the long run from trying to upsize the smaller ones. Probably more information than anyone needed... :> 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 Thu Oct 17 11:09:12 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 LAA14535 for ; Thu, 17 Oct 2002 11:09:11 -0400 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9HF833Y008238; Thu, 17 Oct 2002 09:08:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from net.indra.com (localhost.indra.com [127.0.0.1]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9HF82sc013382; Thu, 17 Oct 2002 09:08:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from rwcrmhc52.attbi.com (rwcrmhc52.attbi.com [216.148.227.88]) by net.indra.com (8.12.6/8.12.6) with ESMTP id g9HF7Tsc013108 for ; Thu, 17 Oct 2002 09:07:29 -0600 (MDT) Received: from hopperflop2 ([24.130.252.190]) by rwcrmhc52.attbi.com (InterMail vM.4.01.03.27 201-229-121-127-20010626) with SMTP id <20021017150724.PQKJ20726.rwcrmhc52.attbi.com@hopperflop2> for ; Thu, 17 Oct 2002 15:07:24 +0000 Message-ID: <003d01c275ee$e38b0400$befc8218@hopperflop2> From: "Kendra Van Cleave" To: References: Subject: Re: [h-cost] Butterick's Historical Costume Patterns 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 6.00.2800.1106 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1106 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, 17 Oct 2002 08:07:19 -0700 Status: RO Hi April and welcome to the list! The first thing I'll say is that you will get MUCH better results if you use some of the more historically-minded pattern lines. For Civil War era, I'd recommend Past Patterns (http://www.pastpatterns.com) and for bustle era, Truly Victorian (http://www.trulyvictorian.com). The next thing I'll say is that if you do want to stick with the Butterick patterns (or any other major pattern line eg Vogue or Simplicity), that you should compare the patterns with period photos and fashion plates. An excellent online resource is the Timeline of Costume History (http://www.costumes.org/pages/timelinepages/timeline.htm) from the Costumer's Manifesto. You should also look at the following books: _Dressed for the Photographer_ by Joan Severa, _Victorian Fashions and Costumes from Harper's Bazar, 1867-1898_ by Stella Blum, and _Victorian and Edwardian Fashion: A Photographic Survey_ by Alison Gernsheim. Finally, on to the specific patterns. The main advice I have would be to come up with your trim/decoration ideas. I've seen people wearing #3012 made up exactly as the pattern indicates, and it's so easy to spot that it's a modern commercial pattern just because we've all seen it so many times! #3012 - Bustle costume (http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/butterick/shop.cgi?s.item.3012=x&TI=10 013&pageNum=2&M=&UK=20243554) -- this looks to me like it's aiming to be 1880's. The main, glaring issues with this one that I spot is the front drapery on the skirt looks much too short to me. Take a look at vintage photos and fashion plates (eg http://www.costumes.org/history/victorian/women/fashionplates/july85.jpg) for some ideas on how you could redrape this piece. Also, while I can't see the pattern shapes, the back drape over the bustle looks weird to me (and I'm wondering what the pattern tells you to use as a bustle?). Sorry I can't give more concrete examples. The trim on the right hand model looks okay to me -- they definitely used lots of ruches, again look at photos and fashion plates for ideas. The one on the left looks very modern bridal to me, although they definitely did use fake flowers -- that's just a personal preference. #6693 - Civil War ball-style gown (http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/butterick/shop.cgi?s.item.6693=x&TI=10 013&pageNum=6&M=&UK=20243554) -- this is a guess which I'll defer to the Civil War experts on the list, but my first reaction is NO RICKRACK! Otherwise I don't spot anything too glaring with this one. Again, look at period photos/fashion plates for design ideas. #6694 - Civil War day gown (http://store.sewingtoday.com/cgi-bin/butterick/shop.cgi?s.item.6694=x&TI=10 013&pageNum=6&M=&UK=20243554) -- this photo is fuzzy, so a bit difficult to spot any glaring errors. What catches my eye would be: you'd want to use the high neckline unless this is a dinner dress, the armscye should probably be dropped off the shoulder a bit, I'm not convinced about the shorter oversleeves on the white dress (I've usually seen the oversleeves a bit longer). Otherwise looks passable to me -- CW experts? Good luck on your projects, and keep us informed as to how they go! This list is a great resource so I'd encourage you to post your questions as they come up. - Kendra ----- Original Message ----- From: April Hala To: h-costume@net.indra.com Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 8:45 PM Subject: [h-cost] Butterick's Historical Costume Patterns Hi, I am new to this list, and I'm hoping some of the good people here can advise me.

It gets its name from the First World War battle fields where the troops were stuck in muddy trenches for weeks and months in wet boots and it became a real problem. I imagine it wasn't a problem in earlier periods because either they would have gone somewhere with shelter, or when it was very wet they were more likely to go barefoot - still get very sore feet, but maybe not the same infections and nasties.

Not only do they reject re-enactors, but they seem to have rejected anyone who was even a competent barbecue cook. Interesting one we are getting at present is "Warrior School". They take small groups of emergency services personnel or military, usually half British, half US stationed here, for 3 days, get them to live as per the selected period and teach them to fight in the relevant style, then put them in competitions (not always direct combat) against each other. So far we have had Roman gladiators, Vikings and Roman soldiers. This one is good because they are already physically fit and have some combat or defence training, and they kit them out so they can do what's expected of them. They obviously have a good range of borrowed kit, so they can find things that fit at least reasonably well, and people to show them how to wear it and the tricks for coping with cold and wet. The Roman soldiers (at Hadrian's Wall) started off with only caligae, but then they got a delivery of socks - based on some of the letters they have found asking relatives to send more socks!

Hi, I am new to this list, and I'm hoping some of the good people here can advise me.  I am interested in the following Butterick patterns, and I'm wondering what I would have to change in them to make them perfectly historically-accurate
 
#3012 - Bustle costume
#6693 - Civil War ball-sytle gown
#6694 - Civil War day gown

You do get wet, cold feet, but feet dry a lot quicker when you put them near the fire than shoes do, and turnshoes don't postpone cold, wet feet for very long anyway. But then I've been going barefoot a lot since I was a child so I have pretty tough feet too.

This is more a function of the slouch-shaped car seat than anything else.

A subject right up my alley as a Great War reenactor! Trench foot was actually a physiological condition - a slow form of frostbite, and, as Jean correctly states, caused by having cold, wet feet for prolonged periods of time. The puttees which were part of the uniform of the time, and provided support and warrmth to the lower legs, also could aggravate the condition if they were wound too tightly. Once army doctors realized it was a preventable condition, having trench foot could become a disciplinary matter. Commanding officers were held responsible for cases in their units and were supposed to conduct daily foot inspections. This might seem extreme, but the British Expeditionary Force was almost crippled by Trench foot in 1914/15- an army not only marches on its stomach... It was noted that it was more common amongst troops with bad morale - probably the men were losing their incentive to take care for themselves . It was combatted by oiling the feet with grease or whale oil, and trying to keep the feet warm and dry with frequent sock changes. These measures reduced the problem, but never eliminated it. Home for many soldiers was a wet trench in below sea level Flanders for months - rather extraordinary living conditions. There's a photograph of a bad trench foot case in one of our books - several toes are rotted off and the rest look like little gnarled roots.....

I made a fitted body cover for him (like the one that came with the dressform but for a male torso) and then padded the dressform to fit. It worked very well, and by trying the body cover on him before starting a new project, I can adjust the dummy to take account of expanding or contracting waist measurements. I would use this method again if I needed to make a custom model for another woman, because with a soft form you can start with the real body shape and then squish as necessary if you need a corsetted shape. My problem with standard, rigid, women's dressforms is that even the smallest has the same bust measurement as me, which means I can't put a corset on it because the breasts and waist are not movable or compressable. If you are interested in how the Uniquely You dressform works, a Google search will turn up several sites. Unfortunately they are not sold in Australia to the best of my knowledge and they are not cheap either. I don't know it they are available in Europe.

I tried on a corset at costume college, I assume it was a 19th century one and it totally set off my sciatica and I couldn't walk for the rest of the day. Now you tell me that I may not be able to breath in it either. Considering that I can barely breath as it is, that isn't good news. I asked my gyn if he had any opinion on 16th century corset construction. He, surprisingly, didn't. I am thinking that if I use the directions for cording it rather than using boning it might be better for me. He thought that might not give me the right kind of support. My bodice is boned and hasn't bothered my back. I can usually breath in it, but it doesn't support, as you say, my squishiness. I am also thinking that since I am 5"10" and saw 200 pounds about 15 years ago, with a bum roll, farthingale and big collar ruff, I could be extremely imposing.

Historical costume projects - mostly dolls. I'm considering a set of 'fashion babies' for my own use. I'd need a set for each living history site or fair I go to. Maybe it will be easier to show docents the difference between what they are now wearing and what I think they should be wearing if I made a 'docent-period' fashion baby for each set.

My great-grandfather, who was one of the few men to receive the Victoria Cross while still living, used to write to my great-grandmother of his fear at times of taking off his boots and perhaps finding his foot had come off with it. The fungal disease would often get so bad that men would loose feeling in their feet, gangrene would set in, and literally would loose their feet in their boots. More than a nasty. It was a horror.

I have a black felt hat blank, and I have the ostrich feathers. http://www.guardian.co.uk/gallery/image/0,8543,-11004295072,00.html or http://www.artchive.com/artchive/R/rubens/rubens_susanna_fourment.jpg.html for a larger view (I actually got around to ordering some beads etc. and have some passable earrings like hers, already -- it's hard to figure out exactly what she's wearing, since Rubens just used blobs of paint.) Questions: Should I trim the edge of this hat with a black binding, or leave it plain? I have some hat braid trim from Wooded Hamlet, but looking at this picture again I'm not really sure that the edge is trimmed at all. The interior of the hat -- how would this be finished out? Petersham hatband, linen strip, or what? The last time I had one of these black felt hat blanks, I wore it in damp weather and the whole thing ended up cone-shaped. Would Scotchguard work to keep this from happening again?

The thing should keep the protruding parts of your anatomy in place and hold up the dress. It took a lot of convincing to get me into one, and some kicking and screaming too. I am a lifelong singer to whom any kind of "restrictive" garb was always a major no-no. There are lots of kinds of corsets. I found a barrel style worked quite well for me and did not confine my breathing (had to sing before the Crown with my choral group and got elevated to Laurel at the same time--how's *that* for an evening?). My costumer did a great job. So go for it! You'll be stunning! 8) Arlys On Thu, 17 Oct 2002 17:17:23 -0700 MaryAnn Jones writes: > You guys are freaking me out.

I would wire the outside edge with hatwire and cover it with binding of some sort. Then get some hat sizing and spray it with a couple coats.
