I couldn't figure out at first why they would have put vertical stripes on the back and front and bias ones on the sides. Today I was looking at pictures of more fashionable gowns of the period and realized that the bustle drapery often resulted in striped or plaid fabrics ending up with a bit on the sides hanging on the bias. So, the bias panels on the sides of this dress are probably cut that way to suggest the fashionable ideal!

I don't see a closure on the bottom ruffle at all. I assumed the opening just went as far as the top of the ruffle. On another aspect of this question, I tried draping my pattern based on the Deliniator gown (1893, not 1993!) and discovered that the "side back gores" they were talking about don't seem to have been seperate pieces. As far as I can tell, the only seam is at side back. It has a front closure hidden by a group of pleats from the neckline, the sides are smoothly darted to give the effect of a curved side seam, there is a curved side back seam where we'd put the side back seam on a modern princess cut, and the back has another cluster of pleats with a deep box pleat center back. The pleats are tacked down for a few inches, front and back. This arrangement leaves the sides on the straight grain, useful since I'm using stripes. the gown in the picture referred to, on the other hand, has no pleats in front and probably gets all its fullness from angled side seams, and possibly pleating at CB. It still doesn't explain the bias angle of the stripes at the sides...wouldn't they go the other way if they were just the result of an angled seam? Maybe they ARE pieced in decoratively.

This should be interesting. I just finished using this book as quite a large portion of my senior project, of this particular queen in literature. It's an entertaining book, but not all that creative, I felt. More of a basic rehashing on her life...I didn't even think putting it in first person made it all that interesting. If you want a VERY good book in that vein, _The Autobiography of Henry VIII_ is better. But, this is simple enough it might just translate onto film.

The "pantaloons" are modern conveniences to prevent thigh chafing, not historically accurate garments. The chemise, more properly called a smock, IS the underwear. Bificurated undergarments were uncommon amongst European women until the 19th century.

They're what most Faire participants wear, for comfort and modesty. Me, I prefer my old linen maternity shorts, which are long enough to prevent thigh chafe and short enough not to show in ordinary situations, avoiding giving the impression that Victorian styled bloomers were an authentic 16th century fashion.

There are extant under "pants" pictured in Janet Arnold for one. I find it very difficult to believe that women didn't figure out that some kind of garment was needed to stop chafing. There certainly were some kind in the 16th century if not earlier. These "pants" were actually quite pretty, embroidery around the hems, made out of linen, with a drawstring waist. I don't remember if they are bifurcated (split crotched?) or not, but one would think this would be more convenient while in a gown, a corset, and a farthingale. ;-> What I wear when not trying for complete authenticity (which is variable depending on my mood and how many days I've been camping) are bike shorts one size too big. They don't bind too tight at the waist, they are slimming, and they prevent chafing (I get them almost to the knee). I have every intention of making some kind of 14th century notion of underpants, probably a copy of what the men wear soon though.

So far in four years, no one has looked under my skirts to see what I was wearing ;-). I try to stay mostly accurate and wear split pantaloons most of the time. When it's cool I wear sweater knit tights. Not only do pantaloons prevent thigh chaffing, they keep from developing a layer of dust and dirt from waist to ankle. They are great for absorbing persperation on those 100 degree days. They also make restroom visits a bit easier if they are split (two separate legs attached to a drawstring waist and not connected underneath). This is too "crotchless" for many people, but if made correctly they overlap well. Having tried to handle two skirts, long chemise, corset and bodice all tightly laced over panties I MUCH prefer my split pantaloons. For historical accuracy as well as comfort, go for drawstring at the waist and the knee (or ankle depending on the length). Elastic can be so binding and uncomfortable under all those layers! They allow me to wear a shorter chemise, which is more comfortable for me as it doesn't get caught between my legs when I'm wandering about. And when one sits or hikes one's skirts for circulation, all you will see will be a bit of lace or gather where the pantaloons peek out! This got long winded, sorry. Just my own experience talking. There are some decent patterns available for various pantaloons and they are easy to make. Good luck!

Renaissance surcotes are a predominantly Spanish fashion, although worn by many other countries. The Scottish, during most of the 16th century, were deeply influenced by their 'Auld Alliance' with France and were mostly influenced by French fashion in a court context. Anyone who was wearing a surcote would have been focused on French/Continental fashions and would not have been concerned about having a Scottish identity. Scotland was pretty universally viewed as a cultural backwater and being identified as Scottish was not seen as a plus. Anyone who was Highland Scottish/clan based wouldn't have been wearing a Continental fashion like a surcote. I suppose a crucial question is where is this person from? If from the Clans, then they would dress in a manner derived from Celtic styles and wouldn't be wearing surcotes. If they are from the Lowlands (most of Scotland) they would be dressed in a standard Continental fashion and wouldn't have anything we would recognize as being typically Scottish.

There's a good book just recently out on Scottish art, and it includes a number of large circular ornaments to wear with Celtic symbols on them. Saw it in G-Street Fabrics in Rockville MD yesterday, but didn't note the author or title. It included many friezes and tombs with sculpture of Scots on them included which may be helpful to you too. Perhaps it was called *something like* Art in Scotland,Treasures from the National Museum of Scotland. Hope H.

I've seen late 16th c examples of German and Italian "pants". These are not split crotched and have straight legs to the knee (no drawstring or ruffles at the hem) and have embroidery along the hem. I've heard that Italian Renaissance whores wore men's breeches and are shown wearing some that look like men's "Venetians", but they looked quite different from the "underpants" that I've seen.

This doesn't make much sense to me...what I've heard from women cooking over fires is that a good wool skirt will take a lot of heat before it actually singes. Wet skirts doesn't sound very nice.

You could try putting a couple of hooks and eyes on either side of the bodice point (and maybe round the back too).

I've heard this as "proof" that medieval and Renaissance women *had* to have worn underwear. However, I think we get used to what we grow up with. There have been women who have gone without underpants of any recognizable kind even into the present Century (1900s). In some cultures, even very large women do not wear anything to keep their thighs from rubbing together (such as the large women of the South Sea Islands.)

What we have extant are Italian late 16th Century. It is not clear whether they are for men or women. We know from reports that some women wore underwear in Italy, but from written sources it was felt to be weird by English standards. From the research I've done, the style seems to have started in late 15th early 16th Century Spain, by women who had noted the habit amongst Moresco women (see Anderson's book on Spanish clothing.) The Spanish women brought them to Italy when they migrated (all those Medici bankers and their ilk). Even in Italy it was considered shocking, which is one of the reasons why the d'Este women were considered "fast." We must keep in mind that not everyone has a chafing problem. Not only that, but it isn't only the thin who do not have a problem (and only the fat who do.) We get used to what we grow up with or find indispensible once we have gotten out of the habit of going without. Just because *we* can't imagine someone doing something a different way, doesn't mean they might think they had a need for it. Kat Kat(June Russell) kat@grendal.rain.com Heu!

Would anyone know where Racinet took his source material? In other words is there a clue here as to where to look for the original portrait? Oh and Racinet's details are: Racinet, Albert (1988) The Historical Encyclopedia of Costume, ISBN: 1-85170-173-7. p179 Thanks and regards Meliora Lochac. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 2 02:40:51 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id CAA10060 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 02:40:50 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA08428; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 02:09:11 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id BAA22149 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 01:50:05 -0600 (MDT) Received: from morgoth.tuug.org (root@morgoth.tuug.org [130.232.72.1]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id BAA22143 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 01:50:01 -0600 (MDT) Received: from shodan.yok.utu.fi ([130.232.128.27] HELO shodan ident: NO-IDENT-SERVICE [port 7429]) by tuug.org with SMTP id <40804-1329>; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 10:49:58 +0300 From: "Ella Lynoure Rajamaki" Organization: Lyninine Federation To: h-costume@indra.com Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 10:55:56 +2 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Subject: Re: H-COST: "what to wear" Priority: normal In-reply-to: <37543FE7.4797DC7F@serv.net> X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.10) Message-Id: <19990602074958Z40804-1329+23@tuug.org> Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Ella Lynoure Rajamaki" On 1 Jun 99, at 13:17, Merouda the True of Bornover wrote: > I find it very difficult to believe that women didn't figure out > that some kind of garment was needed to stop chafing. Chafing of thighs? Perhaps the chafing some experience is because of the modern way of walking (feel very close together)? Or perhaps they found another ways, for example using some kind of cream or oil on thighs to keep them for chafing each other. -- -------(c) 1999--------------* lynoure@tuug.org * Ella Lynoure Rajamaki--------* http://www.tuug.org/~lynoure * _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 2 03:08:51 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id DAA10588 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 03:08:51 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA10031; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 02:36:57 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id CAA23725 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 02:17:51 -0600 (MDT) Received: from hpamgaab.compuserve.com (ah-img-2.compuserve.com [149.174.217.153]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id CAA23720 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 02:17:49 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from mailgate@localhost) by hpamgaab.compuserve.com (8.8.8/8.8.8/HP-1.4) id EAA13577 for h-costume@indra.com; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 04:17:18 -0400 (EDT) Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 04:16:49 -0400 From: Margaret Bolger Subject: H-COST: Antique Costume & Textiles Fairs To: all Message-ID: <199906020417_MC2-77DD-96B9@compuserve.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by sca.uwaterloo.ca id DAA10588 Status: O -Poster: Margaret Bolger Apologies if you have received this information previously via other lists!

I think it is the same with the thighs... if you lived your whole life not using anything to stop the chafting, well, the body adjusts by toughening up the skin there.... I also wear skirts mundanely and in the SCA. When I am wearing skirts on a nippy, dewy, muggy, rainy or damp day, I find that I have red puffy chafted skin, and it becomes hard to walk without looking like you need to go home... when I am wearing skirts in the SCA, I find myself walking with a different stride, and the swing to my hips changes.... it truely makes a difference to how much chafting I get, and how long it hurts for... to combat that, I use cheap baby powder, or if desperate, oils, but they absorb into the skin after a bit, and can make the potential problem worse... sometimes I wear biking shorts, because I haven't the time to "powder up" ...

Since your address is Suffolk NY, did you hear it at Old Bethpage? Ill informed docents/"tour guides" are a millstone around the neck of any museum. They create alternate realities based on fantasies and fabrications and pass these along as "fact". They are the ones who will never wear their clothing correctly (even when it is modern clothing), who do inappropriate "crafts" on site and who complain the loudest to the Director when they are corrected. If the museum going public demanded the same correct information from historic sites as they do in food labelling (as an example), this would be less of a problem. It would still be a problem, though, as long as cheap-ass budgeting committees insist upon free or minimum wage staff and refuse to pay for their training.

I thought that by this time the name was robe for those coat like garments. And that surcotes were definitely 13-14th century. And maybe early 15th.

They don't cite a source for it, however. I wet my hems when I cook over an outdoor campfire, as a safety practice. My skirts are cotton, not wool, and after I wring them out, they stay nicely damp for about an hour. On hot days, I don't bother to wring them out much. When they dry, it's a quick trip to the water bucket to repeat the procedure. It doesn't seem at all time-consuming to me. I do this because I've had my skirts blow toward the wind unexpectedly more than once, and this practice gives me peace of mind. My ankles aren't unduly wet--I wear wool stockings or leggings, which keeps them dryish. Besides, I'm also wearing moccasins, so I'm used to wet feet anyhow.

All refer to 'in costume', whatever period is under discussion: In cold weather, I *never* chafe, pantaloons or no. In warm weather, I sometimes chafe, pantaloons or no. There is always a nice breeze up the skirts on any outfit when I move, which helps. In very hot weather (95-100+ degrees f in the shade) I *always* chafe, pantaloons or no. This applies to modern dress, in *denim jeans* as well. All of the above have little to do with my weight, the size of my thighs, the amount of fabric around the area in question, etc. It has a lot to do with the sensitivity of my skin, my tendency towards getting prickly heat ( I get it on my arms in very hot weather when I've been sweating a lot), how much water I've drunk that day (!), how much salty food I've eaten that day, whether I've been good about taking my vitamins (affects skin resiliency and condition as well as sweat Ph), what sort of bathing facilities have been available at the event, etc. I think that I would be more comfortable if I was more careful about my personal health at events (which I always seem to let fall by the wayside when I'm washing dishes and cooking and chasing men around with a water jug), *and* if I could go to events exclusively in cold or balmy weather (not likely, as I live in Texas).

I agree, which is why I'll never belong to a guild that does the No. CA RenFaire. I, too, feel it's not the clothes so much as the climate that governs how likely chafing may be. I wear what were known in the 1960s-'70s as 'pettipants', and gratefully so. cjc _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 2 12:46:24 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA23221 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 12:46:23 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA13555; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 12:13:53 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id LAA29620 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 11:28:05 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp.email.msn.com (cpimssmtpu10.smtp.email.msn.com [207.46.181.60]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id LAA29258 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 11:27:23 -0600 (MDT) Received: from default - 208.253.11.183 by email.msn.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 10:26:51 -0700 From: "Hope H.

As the lady in question mentioned RenFaire, I had the opposite impression--that she wished to know what a Scotswoman of the Renaissance times would have worn--and what she would have worn to indicate she was Scots--although the lady posting did use the term surcoat. I took that term 'loosely'...thinking of those Italian/Spanish overcoats/dresses...which I don't know anything about making.

I should have taken more time to really describe what I wanted to do. I've sent this email to several people who responded to me personally as well as to the list: The guidelines (costume competition) I have are to make a costume for a Shakespearean character (in my case, Lady Macbeth) as it would have been presented _on the English Elizabethan stage_. We're talking an "Elizabethan impression" of a medieval (or whatever age it is, Macbeth began his reign in 1040) Scottish queen, rather than a 100% accurate Scottish queen. I would imagine that they would have taken a familiar garment (ie: a Spanish/English/ surcote) and put a regional and temporal twist on it (as annoys us purists with so many costume flicks). What I'm planning on doing is the mad sleepwalking scene, wearing a chemise and coif, carrying a candle and I thought a surcote over it would look like a robe kind of thingy. I was thinking of using buttons embellished with a thistle, edge the coif in thistle blackwork (_yes_, I know blackwork wouldn't be period to Macbeth's time), etc. Would another "regional" accessory be an arisaide (unsure of spelling) with a penannular broach? I do English Ren, and am unfamiliar with Scottish and medieval stuff...

My husband, love that he is, threw one of his doublets in the washing machine. I have done this before and had no problem, but for some reason it bled through from one side to the other. One side is purple and white with a small amount of gold (almost cloud-like design) and the other is black. Both are heavy upholstery materials. He washed it on cold with my baby detergent (as I have before) but the black bled through onto the white. As I was not home at the time, he decided to try re-washing it and threw it into the machine for another go round. So, it has been washed twice on cold and never seen the dryer. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing this? There are only two places where it's "black". It mostly appears smudged or dingy. I use Ivory soap successfully on a lot of other stains, but wanted some other opinions before I attempt that one. ANY ideas are worth greatly appreciated. If I have to reproduce this doublet I can, but I would really rather not. One other question: I've heard that there is a product that will remove dye from the wash water while clothes are being washed. My mother saw an ad for it--a sheet that you put in with your wash that absorbs dyes from the water. Apparently they washed bright red and blue with whites and the whites came out bright white. Anyone know of this? Thanks in advance.

I used to do it for a living, my wife still does. Sure there is some danger, but not nearly as much as I constantly hear referred to. In fact I have often heard it said that kithchen fires were the biggest killers of women. Well I will not speak for everyones period and locale, but here in Tidewater Virgina in the third quarter of the 18th century childbirth is the largest killer of woman. I have not seen statistics even given for fire deaths, though I can not think of a single one in my collection of biographies on Williamsburg residents.

Lots of chemises (still with no indication of whether there was something under them) and men in "briefs". The pictures seem to be of people at work, either in the fields, the bathhouse, or sometimes at rest. The most graphic picture I remember is of three peasants warming themselves in front of fire with their tunics and skirts raised. Neither the men or women are wearing under "pants" their genitals there for all to see. Knowing that men wore briefs or not depending on the activity it seems a logical step to the idea that women *might* have too. For me, the jury's still out. :) > I never said you shouldn't, hopefully people don't tend to go looking up > your skirts too often so I don't think it matters too much :0 Heh. Not often enough. *sigh* *VBG* Seems to me I heard a story on this list of a "tourist" doing just that. Lifting a ladies skirts to see if she was wearing the right stuff underneath!!

Herb" I can't remember where right now (sorry -- really old and vague memory), but I have heard of wetting hems. Once or twice. My personal opinion is that it may make it a bit safer to wet a hem from a flammability standpoint, but the wet hems I've been "privileged" to experience have dragged my linen petticoats down. (Maybe cotton's different -- I only know linen and wool.) Even though I don't wear them ground length, when the bottoms are wet they can get long enough to get under my shoes/feet as I back up from the fire or attempt to stand up from a crouch near it. My thought is that it would create more of a hazard, and probably pick up more dirt, inside or outside. But I've never found the wetness to be uncomfortable against my legs, whether hosed and shod or bare. My rather dopic self's two cents' worth.

It includes extensive information on all of the effigies and their clothing, with some photographs of items taken off the effigies (there is an excellent b&w photo of QE's corset). However, it was published a year or two before the discovery was made of QE's original corset and drawers. There is a printed errata sheet covering that, that comes with the book.

The woman had a horrible death. If memory serves me right, it was mid-19th century. They was some mention that women needed to be careful with their skirts when getting in and out of carriages. I have read many strange accounts of deaths when doing my research. The strangest was a ten year old girl walking across a room with a needle in her hand. She tripped and the needle pierced her heart. She did die. Old local newspapers are full of strange facts about costumes. Court records are also another great place. If there is a trail, costumes seem to be described. These are great sources as how people actually wore and functioned in their costume. I have also found some interesting facts about people during the ACW in the Judge Advocate General letters at the National Archives. These are letters friends and family wrote to the office. I have pulled up very detailed descriptions about people down to their attire and physical characteristics. One letter of interest was how only one man was left in a county during the war. He was helping all the women in the county with chores and upkeep. He was a cobbler and made shoes for free for all the children. ALL the women in the county signed a letter to the "General's" office asking for him to taken into war.

Often the pointed area was not stitched down but this is not always the case. For actual examples of this, Janet Arnold's books and Costume in Detail all show this. This allows for you to unstitch and add an evening bodice, using the same skirt. It also takes care of gaping. Your local museum will have period examples that you usually can see this process. Any time you are in Los Angeles, The Los Angeles County Art Museum has the Stella Blum Research Lab and they will allow anyone interested in costuming, with an appointment, to view particular items in their collection. Several 1840s and 1850s dresses in my private collection are constructed this way. This does not mean this is the only way they were done, but it is one way. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 2 19:45:52 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA00031 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 19:45:51 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA26621; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 19:13:09 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id SAA28308 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 18:53:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: from vail.telesensory.com (vail.telesensory.com [12.7.233.4]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id SAA28285 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 18:53:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: by vail with Internet Mail Service (5.0.1460.8) id ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 17:49:31 -0700 Message-ID: From: "Vickers, Jill" To: "'h-costume'" Subject: H-COST: 1940s Shoes Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 17:49:29 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1460.8) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="---- =_NextPart_001_01BEAD5A.F01C4900" Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Vickers, Jill" This message is in MIME format.

Thought just occurred while reading the posts--have we heard any from our British or other European friends on this subject? Some of the chafing problems have to do with climate--and level of activity and fabric. Many of the SCA and RenFaire people (both periods that I don't personally do) are interpreting people who lived in a locality with a temperature very different from that of the place where they are wearing these clothes. I am originally from Georgia--now Virginia--both area which are very hot and humid in the summer. The year I lived in London (1969) was, at that time, the hottest summer in 10 years--it was about 75 top, with no humidity---I thought it was great, people who lived there thought it was awful. When the early European settlers came to North America, they must have sweltered, as their clothing did not prepare them for these hot summers. There are accounts from the 18th c of men in the streets in their banyons (loose, "at-home" type robes, in the summer in Virginia). I have attended RenFairs and have seen people in heavy wools and velvets--and probably sweltering and chafing. Many seem to dress to the 9s in very elaborate and heavy clothing. The rich folk of the period would probably tend to dress more in lighter silks, or at least a much lighter wool, in hotter weather. Unfortunately, "modern" people do not have all the different weights of linen (from transparent to ship sail canvas) , silk and wool available, just what we can get at the local fabric stores. Second observation---many of our events tend to be in the summer-- read "hot" months--prime tourist time. In previous time periods, the richer folk would have probably not been outside in the hot sun (they didn't have to be and the women definitely did not want a tan!), running around and probably being much more active than most of us are in our "regular lives" The poor folk would have been accustomed to it. Third observation---we "modern" people probably feel the effects of the weather to a much greater extent. We are used to adjusting the weather to suit us and our clothes--not visa versa. We live, work and drive in air-conditioning and heating, so probably feel the changes in the "natural weather" more acutely. If you lived in a time of "all natural weather", your body can adjust more slowly and acclimate better, instead of the drastic changes we artificially give in the temperature.(why is it that on days it's 90--100 outside, the AC is always set on 65?) Just some observations. But when people ask me if I'd like to live "back then"--I always say no, I like AC, showers, flush toilets, microwaves, etc.--even the richest people lived in what we would now consider substandard housing in regard to plumbing, etc.--but doing living history makes you appreciate them and realize what a wasteful and lucky society we are. Again, just my two bits on the subject.

In your own pointed bodice dresses, does the center back bodice opening line up directly with a center back skirt opening, or is there some sort of dogleg similar to the typical center front bodice opening attachment to an off-center front skirt opening in a straight around waistline of nicer 1860s dresses?

It's expensive, but amazon has it at a discount. If you're not familiar with Mme Vionnet, she was the one actually making the dresses that women like Harlow (and anyone else with money and fashion sense!) wore.

Cynthia The source would be the painting, which is in the National Gallery in London. The detail is very clear when you can look at the original -- I spent a long time sketching it. I have never seen a reproduction that shows the detail as clearly. When you cut in at the corners of the squares, you get shapes something like Maltese crosses. But the squares didn't look separate to me -- rather, they were part of a long strip of cloth. The strip was divided into these squares, with enough bits left connected at certain edges and corners to keep the strip intact. The cut edges were straight (not pinked) and either overcast or buttonhole-stitched with gold thread. The strip was three squares wide, or possibly was three separate strips hung alongside each other. In any case, it was very long, and accordion-folded. Then the folded edges on one side of the folded "stack" were tacked/sewn to the bottom curve of the sleeve. So, the strip looked something like this: ________________________________________________________ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ /_\ (sorry I can't show the almost-continuous horizontal cuts and the continuous edge across the bottom in ASCII) and then it was folded like this: ___________ ( __________ | ___________) |this edge (___________ |is where the ___________) |folds attach (___________ |to the curved ___________) |lower seam of (___________ |the sleeve. Caveat: This is my best guess, based on looking at the picture, and working from memory now. --Robin _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 2 21:18:40 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA02206 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 21:18:39 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA08273; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 20:47:14 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id UAA09613 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 20:27:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo21.mx.aol.com (imo21.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.65]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id UAA09604 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 20:27:05 -0600 (MDT) From: AnnBWass@aol.com Received: from AnnBWass@aol.com (4419) by imo21.mx.aol.com (IMOv20) id 6RNTa03188 for ; Wed, 2 Jun 1999 22:25:56 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <4f16c648.248741b5@aol.com> Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1999 22:25:57 EDT Subject: Re: H-COST: Costume Trivia (Fire safety & skirts) To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 10 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: AnnBWass@aol.com I found some strange stories when I was doing my dyes research.

Someone on this list recommended it, actually. All I can say is -- beware! I forget the name, but it was from Germany and I bought in a fabric store. There was enough for one wash. I washed two of my daughter's dresses that had accidentally been washed with a red dress that bled. I figured they were ruined anyway, so what could it hurt? One, a white jumper with a red-checked skirt, was still ruined at the end of the wash. The stain came out, but all the red in the checks had faded to a burnt brown color that was extremely ugly. The second, a bright yellow sweatshirt dress (from After the Stork, a very expensive children's clothing company -- I bought it at Gabriel's for $5!) looked perfect when I took it out of the washer after its second (extra) rinse. But when I took it out if the dryer it was GREEN! Yes, a dirty sort of chartreuse, not the bright chartreuse now in style. She got some more wear out of it as a play dress, but it was not presentable. I don't know what happened there, but it was a lesson in chemistry for me. Namely, a lot of stuff goes on with dyes in the washer and dryer! So if I were you, I'd see what I could do to that doublet before I tried something so drastic.

The front opening dresses (later ones, 1850s on) have the skirt opening off center from any where from 2 inches to 4 inches. The back opening ones (the majority of the ones I have) open down the back on the skirt part also. There are a few that are cartridge/gauged right onto the finished bodice with no waistband. These are cotton dresses. Hope this helps.

Anyway.. >I've seen lots of underwear pictures but not in the nobility. Lots of chemises (still with no indication of whether there was something under them) Yes by underwear I meant knickers, I used underwear as I know you don't call them pants like we do, it was plainer if the rest of my posting had made it :( >and men in "briefs". The pictures seem to be of people at work, either in the fields, the bathhouse, or sometimes at rest. 13th C braies are pretty common in men as far as I'm aware and either worn along when working or tucked into hose. > The most graphic picture I remember is of three peasants warming themselves in front of fire with their tunics and skirts raised. Neither the men or women are wearing under "pants" their genitals there for all to see. Personally I think it would be healthier that way > Knowing that men wore briefs or not depending on the activity it seems a logical step to the idea that women *might* have too. For me, the jury's still out. :) I can't see a reason for them to myself, it is inconvenient to squat to go to the loo with a long skirt & pant type arrangements. In fact practically impossible in the middle of a field not to get something wet ! Once you get to Victorian era & can use loos the split arrangement works very well. The chafing in my opinion could be worse at certain (fertile ) times of the month, due to normaly bodily function of feminine mositure (isn't that what the ads call it ?). However with more pregnacies, longer breastfeeding times etc, this is reduced and hence chafing....an idea anyway, born out by my experiance. Another related thing might be our over production of this by our bodies in response to synthetic & tight fitting knickers , which dosen't go away instantly in the day or so we are in kit ? Similar to washing your hair means more grease is produced, but not washing your hair it stays at a natural level. I have to confess I feel SOMETHING must have been under there during menstruation, but we have been through that all before :) >Heh. Not often enough. *sigh* *VBG* Seems to me I heard a story on this list of a "tourist" doing just that. Lifting a ladies skirts to see if she was wearing the right stuff underneath!! I believe that , I've been asked a few times ! Hope this all made it !

I was wondering if anyone out there had any possible sources for information on infant and children's clothing in the Victorian Era. THe local library has little and that is very, very generalistic. Not much of anything besides the usual comments about both sexes wearing dresses for several years. Any suggestions would be welcome, so I can get organized before coming out of my "confinement" and getting back to the living history. Thanks!

Things have changed since then and now the temperature in London hits the high 80's and it's usually with 90% humidity or more, very uncomfortable and very, very few homes have airconditioning over here.

For stage I used sweaters for the halberks (sp?) and for the coifs I cut up sweaters in a coif and then spray painted them all chrome silver. I've also made up a coif in the metallic spangle material (not quite sure how to describe it!). Both look fine from stage but the spray painted ones often need to be touched up between performances and it's best to use gray or cream colored sweaters.

I wonder if those are really 16th Century drawers. The corset looks like it belongs on the effigy. However, the drawers don't seem to fit the effigy. They seem to have a button closure but the front is open to the point where the button/buttonhole areas are resting on her hips. They aren't close enough to join even if someone sucked in a gut. The corset, on the other hand, is front closure and is spiral laced with very little if any opening in front. In "The Funeral Effigies of Westminster Abbey" they talk about the effigy. Some items are original but other parts date to the 18th Century. I feel that the underwear on the effigy probably are from that later time period. They don't fit the effigy and seem to be from a later time. Also, they are not discussed when they are talking about the clothing put on the effigy.

It doesn't matter what a medieval woman or renaissance woman did for underwear if you yourself can't go without it. Unless it is for structural reasons (such as a corset or hoops or petticoats), I don't think wearing panties or something similar even matters for contests (unless you're claiming that it *has* to be period because you need it.) Hopefully, when at a Renn Fair, SCA or an historical costume event, no one is checking under your petticoats to see what you are wearing. Wear what you need to, in good health! As to what is seen in pictures, in one of my books there is an early 17th Century painting of a woman falling off horseback. She is geared up with long stockings held up with a tied garter, but her muff is clearly seen without any drawers of any kind over them. I've actually found very few pictures of men *without* some sort of brief/drawers, the picture of the people warming their cockles by the fire being the only one know of. Because of the class I teach of pre 1650 underwear (men's and women's) I'm constantly on the outlook for pictures of what goes under the clothes. I was greatly amused when I found a painting of Christ carrying the cross, with portions of his male genitalia falling out of his drawers. It reminded me of an event I went to about 15 years ago where there was a man dressed as Ghandi. He was drooping out of the drapings. I very quietly informed him that he was exposed and needed to go put himself back into his wrappings. He indignantly argued with me that he was not exposed and he would know it if he would. I was very amused when he later came back to me and apologized for not taking my word for it (since I was only trying to do him a favor, not tell him he didn't know how to costume.)

Hamilton" Hair removal was practiced in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the medieval Middle East, and in other cultures by certain parts of the population. It's a time-intensive practice -- so that might indicate ties to culturally-bound concepts of status as well as cultural ideas of "beauty." Seems folks who have the time and wherewithal to continually remove any sign of hair from face, armpits, legs, or "bikini area" (as it is called in US) is certainly not spending all their time hunting & gathering for a living. Also, in the US, we have been trained by ads into being horrified by the possibility of bodily odor. Removing hair from areas of perspiration ties into that.

Janet felt strongly that the corset and drawers were original, and were from QE's wardrobe, and were in fact items the queen had worn herself. You'll notice in Janet's commentary in the book that she says closer examination is necessary -- the book is based on study of the clothing on the figures, which is why the drawers aren't even mentioned, and was published just before the figure was dismantled for conservation (see below.) I disagree that the drawers don't fit the figure. I think they simply don't fit the way modern drawers would. The sheet now issued with the book (and distributed in the Undercroft Museum) says: The Effigies of Queen Elizabeth I The clothes of the 1760 effigy were cleaned and repaired in 1994-5, with a new ruff and with synthetic ermine to replace the modern knitted border on the mantle. In the course of restoration it was discovered that the original wooden framework of the 1603 effigy had been reused in 1760, complete with the original grass padding, drawers and corset (or 'paire of straight-bodies'). This unique garment is likely to have been one of a stock of corsets kept ready for use, needing only to be lined with silk before being worn by the Queen. Its use on the effigy would have made it easy to shape the body to represent the Queen's figure correctly. The 1760 effigy has been provided with a new wooden framework, allowing the 1603 effigy and undergarments to be displayed separately. **** Westminster Abbey originally planned to put the original effigy back together, covering up the corset and drawers. They relented only after strenuous objections and lobbying on the part of costume historians. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 3 15:36:02 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA26740 for ; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:36:01 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA10343; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 15:05:39 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id OAA04847 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:44:42 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail.mc.net (mail.mc.net [209.172.128.4]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with SMTP id OAA04794 for ; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 14:44:30 -0600 (MDT) From: lynnx@mc.net Received: (qmail 19634 invoked from network); 3 Jun 1999 20:44:29 -0000 Received: from tntmodem2-35.mc.net (HELO HEATHERL) (209.172.134.35) by mail.mc.net with SMTP; 3 Jun 1999 20:44:29 -0000 Message-ID: <37570997.4614@mc.net> Date: Thu, 03 Jun 1999 16:02:47 -0700 X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (Win95; I; 16bit) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume-digest@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Arnolfini sleeve detail References: <199906031929.NAA18701@indra.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Rating: mail.mc.net 1.6.1 0/1000/N Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: lynnx@mc.net Just looked at my copy of Hunnisett and she says to *box pleat* several layers (of 2-3" wide strips, I assume) then pink in towards the center from each corner..

But I don`t know where people deduct this assumption from and I can`t imagine how that could ever be proved. I do believe though that this shaving came into fashion in newer times when the skirts became shorter and after the invention of nylon stockings because one sees the leg hair even more when these are worn. And it`s a cultural beauty ideal as well, Islamic women are said to shave all their body hair although most of them wear long skirts.

I have > a waist length bodice which drops down into a deep point in the front, > I'm wearing it with a separate skirt which is pleated onto a waistband. The idea that skirts and bodices were hooked together is a modern 'reenactorism' probably based on the number of bodices that have survived sans skirt. The skirts were most likely removed and the nice big panels of fabric were used for other garments. The only time bodices and skirts were separates in this period were when the bodice extended well below the waist as in peplum bodices, etc. _Costume in Detail_ by Nancy Bradfield shows examples of this style of separate skirt and bodice. In all other examples, the skirt was either sewn directly onto the bodice, or when a skirt may have a day and an evening bodice, they were stitched together as another poster pointed out. FYI, Deep points on bodices for day wear tends to be more of a late 1840's into the 1850's rather than 1860's. Back fastening dresses were only worn by children at least by the mid 1850's.

At events I always have my jumbo size Shower to Shower with me. I prefer the little bit of cornstarch in that, but can only imagine what using nothing but cornstarch would create! Keeping the skin-against-skin areas dry and, as you mention, frictionless, seems to be more the ticket than anything. And the preventive routine does make it work better.

That seems to be the consensus, judging by the private posts I've received. DeBeers did the same sort of thing with diamond engagement rings which quickly became the "only" decent thing to give your honey, thanks to their advertising. I'm still trying to get a handle on why body hair became so repulsive. What mental process came into play that made something apparently not worth noting become a sign of carelessness, lack of self-respect or whatever? Was it maybe a side effect of the drive toward more youthful appearance in general?

Even though it is a bit earlier , try Hispanic Costume, 1480-1530, Ruth Matilda Anderson, published by The Hispanic Society of America, New York, 1979 and a bit later: Sofonisba Anguissola, The first Great Woman Artist of the Renaissance, by Ilya Sandra Perlingieri, Rizzoli Press There is also a Dover book with Renaissance woodcuts of the Trachtenbuch. I think its available on Amazon. You might also want to look at the German Single Leaf Woodcut Series for that time period. The men's military costumes are pretty much identical between German and Spanish. The women's costumes are different, though... You might check out the latest Osprey series books (look in stores that cater to miniature painters and wargamers) or the Arms and Uniforms Series called "The Age of Chivalry by Liliane and Fred Funcken Julie Adams _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 3 21:29:18 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA01776 for ; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 21:29:18 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA01188; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 20:59:21 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id UAA00684 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 20:38:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: from sd.znet.com (sd.znet.com [207.167.64.5]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id UAA00676 for ; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 20:38:07 -0600 (MDT) Received: from [207.167.66.58] (sdts10-58.znet.net [207.167.66.58]) by sd.znet.com (8.9.3/8.9.3/jjb-sd) with ESMTP id TAA05996 for ; Thu, 3 Jun 1999 19:38:05 -0700 (PDT) Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 19:38:05 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <55fc1b7a.24880ffb@aol.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: h-costume@indra.com From: Julie Adams Subject: Re: H-COST: Baby & Children's Clothing Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Julie Adams I'm not sure which part of the 19th c you are into but here are a few in addition to Ann's suggestions: Children's Fashions of the Past in Photographs, Alison Mager, Dover book (cool pictures but undated) Yesterday's Children, The Antiques and History of Child Care, Sally Kevill-Davies, The Antique Collector's Club (has excellent examples of baby stuff too...) Godey's Ladies Book, Dover Press Fashions from Harper's Bazarre, Dover Press (both of the above have children in the background of many plates.) How the Other Half Lives, Jacob A. Riis, Dover Press, (excellent photos of late 19th c immigrants and poor) Sutter's Fort State Historic Park Costume Manual (1845) by David Rickman (who is on this list...) The Victorians, Photographic Portraits, Audrey Linkman, Tauris Parke books (some children photos) Tidings from the 19th C, Beth Gilgun, Rebel press (some basic late 17th/early 18th c attire) The Workwomens Guide, c 1838 facsimile (lots of patterns laid out and discussion of baby and children's clothing and accessories, most of the baby and young child stuff works for later in the century as well.) The Old West Series, Time Life -- many of the books show children in background pictures. Also, victorian baby shoes, mocassins, gowns, teethers and lots of photos can usually be found on Ebay. A lot of post mortem baby shots, but I actually ended up getting a period baby walker for only $35 that is almost identical to the ones as far back as the 16th c. Anyway, you can always capture the photos of items to create your own library of images.... What period/kind of re-enacting are you doing?

The comments on the page referencing her drawing says that there are traces of straw inside the top of the codpiece...I'm wondering if that'd be *awfully* uncomfortable... Oh and the drawing is on page 59, 4E So I was wondering if anyone has actually seen a surviving codpiece, or at least a more detailed reporting, and if the condition of the garment gives any clues.

It doesn't matter what a medieval woman or renaissance woman did for underwear if you yourself can't go without it. Unless it is for structural reasons (such as a corset or hoops or petticoats), I don't think wearing panties or something similar even matters for contests (unless you're claiming that it *has* to be period because you need it.) Hopefully, when at a Renn Fair, SCA or an historical costume event, no one is checking under your petticoats to see what you are wearing. Wear what you need to, in good health! As to what is seen in pictures, in one of my books there is an early 17th Century painting of a woman falling off horseback. She is geared up with long stockings held up with a tied garter, but her muff is clearly seen without any drawers of any kind over them. I've actually found very few pictures of men *without* some sort of brief/drawers, the picture of the people warming their cockles by the fire being the only one know of. Because of the class I teach of pre 1650 underwear (men's and women's) I'm constantly on the outlook for pictures of what goes under the clothes. I was greatly amused when I found a painting of Christ carrying the cross, with portions of his male genitalia falling out of his drawers. It reminded me of an event I went to about 15 years ago where there was a man dressed as Ghandi. He was drooping out of the drapings. I very quietly informed him that he was exposed and needed to go put himself back into his wrappings. He indignantly argued with me that he was not exposed and he would know it if he would. I was very amused when he later came back to me and apologized for not taking my word for it (since I was only trying to do him a favor, not tell him he didn't know how to costume.)

But I don`t know where people deduct this assumption from and I can`t imagine how that could ever be proved. One of the theories I recall hearing was that Plague survivors lost their hair, and so when nobility began to show a very high forehead with the hair plucked back, of course it was fashionable for others to follow suit. Personally, I don't buy into this theory of the Plague causing a fashion craze, but if you look at pictures from the medieval and Renaissance periods you will see that a high brow remained fashionable. >I do believe though that this shaving came into fashion in newer times when the skirts became shorter and after the invention of nylon stockings because one sees the leg hair even more when these are worn.

One of the theories on that is that the men of their culture prefer a pre-pubescent look in women. Another thing is that the ancient Egyptians apparently removed all bodily hair because they were at heart a clean people. Hair retains odors. In truth, who knows?

Hmmm...the really high brow, and shaved look didn't come in until quite a bit after the 'Black Death'. I realise that there were other periods of plague, but if the biggy didn't inspire this, then why a smaller one? I do recall reading somewhere that the 'I have no hair' look that went with hennins came about because of a bald queen, but I don't know that I'd give that much credence either.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Claire F.

It's been pointed out that ostriches are native to Africa. They are now farmed in many countries on most continents. There are large farms in the U.S. as well. Was Australia discovered? Sure.

Ostrich feathers were used as a heraldic charge by the English royal family from at least the middle of the 14th century. Edward the Black Prince had a badge of three ostrich plumes on his "shield for peace". I don't doubt that you would see them used as crests in the early rolls of arms such as the Manesse codex and Zurich roll. There are far too many examples of ostrich feathers worn in hats from German artists of the renaissance for it to be strictly an artistic convention.

We get on average 10 days per year with 30°C or above (85F or above). That's "hot" to us. In Southern Germany, there are slightly more. Humidity when it occurs inevitably announces a thunderstorm and is gone afterwards. The meditarranean (Italy, Spain, Greece) gets as hot as the USA, but maybe drier. The climate may have been slightly different in different periods of recorded history, but not much. But Europe in the Middle Ages is a little bit of an exception with regard to climate, anyhow. Most of the last 100,000 years humanity has been around most of us have lived in tropical or subtropical areas where it's hot and humid. Of 500,000 Indian women, about 300,000 wear a sari everyday in tropic climate with at most briefs underneath. Do they chafe? Don't think so. Im Malaysia it is tropically hot and humid, but Malaian women wear the Baju Kurung or Sarong and T-shirt, which comprises a narrow skirt, no long-legged undergarment. Even hose/pants/trousers (for men, in some places also for women) are an invention of the past few 1000 years and had made it into Northern Europe ONLY by the middle ages. Roman soldiers normally didn't wear "pants". "Pants" were invented for riding, not against chafing. American Indian female clothing -- for the Plains Indians, as I recall -- comprises leggings which reach up only to the knee. No fabric there to separate the thighs. ... any more examples, anyone?

First mention is 1370 when queen Philippa (who was of Hainault, now southern Belgium) ordered plate with ostrich feathers engraved in them. English heraldists suspect a Hainault origin of the feathers. The Black Prince wasn't the only one using them at least one of his brothers did too (John of Ghent). They were used by Henry Bolingbroke, John's son, later Henry IV, and king Richard II as well as the Beaufort family who descended from John of Ghent via bastardy. In the BP's shield the feathers were 'charges', outside of it they are 'badges'. I don't doubt that > you would see them used as crests in the early rolls of arms such as the > Manesse codex and Zurich roll. Not in the Manesse codex (1305-20). Peacock feathers, lots of them, some cock feathers and bird's wings, yes, but no ostrich feathers. As far as I have pictures of the Zuricher wappenrolle (1335-45) there are no ostrich feathers there as well. Gelre's Armorial (ca 1370-1400) has 3 crests with ostrich feathers, one of which I suspect to be a later addition. Ostrich feather crests really start in the middle of the 15th c and become in their own in the late 16th to 19th c.

Dunlap" Ostritch feathers were used to decorate Turks turbans (post 1453, the Conquest) and also in French Cavaliers' hats (1580-1660). I believe they were used since antiquity by the Persians and Egyptians. They decorated noble horses livery in Europe.

I seriously doubt that could be the case, for many reasons. I've done a great deal of research into the medical aspects of plague, and I've never seen a reference to hair loss as an effect, either in current medical literature or in literature of the period. If it did occur at all, it evidently wasn't common enough to be identified with plague specifically in the writings. (Although shearing of the head has, in some times and places, been the custom in cases of serious illness -- presumably to simplify hygiene for the bedridden.) Even if hair loss did occur as a result of plague, it would have affected the non-noble as well as the noble, and men as well as women, which is not indicated in the visual sources, where high foreheads seem specific to noble women. As a more theoretical argument against this idea, I personally doubt that anything that was seen as a sign of disease would be taken as a feature of female beauty and high class -- which the high forehead certainly was. (I don't see pock-marks thus idealized, for instance.) --Robin (my day job is as a medical writer/editor, and I've written two encyclopedia articles on plague) _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Jun 4 18:30:18 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA28264 for ; Fri, 4 Jun 1999 18:30:17 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA22308; Fri, 4 Jun 1999 18:01:40 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id RAA14361 for h-costume-outgoing; Fri, 4 Jun 1999 17:39:36 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp.email.msn.com (cpimssmtpu10.smtp.email.msn.com [207.46.181.60]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id RAA14353 for ; Fri, 4 Jun 1999 17:39:33 -0600 (MDT) Received: from default - 208.253.11.202 by email.msn.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Fri, 4 Jun 1999 16:39:02 -0700 From: "Hope H.

I dug out the one remaining post I have on it which includes the following from the Oxford English Dictionary: "merkin ('m3:rkin). Also 7 mirkin. 1 a The female pudendum [which a more recent dictionary tells me comes from a root meaning "a thing to be ashamed of"] obs. 1535 LYNDESAY Satyre 1920 Mawkine. 1656 FLECTHER Martial 95 Why dost thou reach thy Merkin now half dust?

This he dry'd well, and comb'd out, and then return'd to the Cardinall, telling him, he had brought St. Peter's Beard." Sounds rather like it could mean both the real and the artificial thing. I've posted her for the rest of the story. Reportedly a French company still makes them. (The Hair Club for Women?) The researcher put forth a statement that they were in use from at least Elizabethan times through the 1700's, but indicates that it was almost certainly the female nobles or "the bed-hopping courtly set from 1400? - 1790. Unfortunately, any record I had of the documentation got separated from what I've posted here. It may take a little while to get the full information, but I'll forward it on to you when I get it. Apparently they were pasted on the shaved skin. Apologies for the vagueness of this reply. Will attempt to clarify ASAP.

Actually, from an historical standpoint, 1325 isn't considered Renaissance in Italy. The "transitional figure" who is considered to be influential in promoting humanism, which was what fuelled the Renaissance, was Petrarch (1304-74). He's really not well-known until the 1340s. Most historians place the beginnings of the Italian Renaissance between 1350-1375. And I also disagree that the 1590s aren't Renaissance for Northern Europe, especially for England. Again, Renaissance humanism (e.g. critical examination of sources, devotion to classical ideals in literature and art, etc.) did not fully establish itself in England until the early 1500s. Most historians consider the English Renaissance to coincide with the Tudors, and some even throw in the Stuarts for good measure. If we really want to be nitpicky, "Renaissance" isn't a particularly good term, since it was primarily an artistic and intellectual movement, with some political overtones. In purely social terms, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation had a much more far-reaching effect. We tend to call clothes which were worn during the Renaissance "Renaissance" clothing, even though they were certainly not a product of the "Renaissance" movement in and of themselves (had they been, you might have expected clothing to take on the lines shown in classical statuary--after all, art and architecture were certainly greatly influenced by Roman and Greek models....)

Actually, from an historical standpoint, 1325 isn't considered Renaissance in Italy. The "transitional figure" who is considered to be influential in promoting humanism, which was what fuelled the Renaissance, was Petrarch (1304-74). He's really not well-known until the 1340s. Most historians place the beginnings of the Italian Renaissance between 1350-1375. And I also disagree that the 1590s aren't Renaissance for Northern Europe, especially for England. Again, Renaissance humanism (e.g. critical examination of sources, devotion to classical ideals in literature and art, etc.) did not fully establish itself in England until the early 1500s. Most historians consider the English Renaissance to coincide with the Tudors, and some even throw in the Stuarts for good measure. If we really want to be nitpicky, "Renaissance" isn't a particularly good term, since it was primarily an artistic and intellectual movement, with some political overtones. In purely social terms, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation had a much more far-reaching effect. We tend to call clothes which were worn during the Renaissance "Renaissance" clothing, even though they were certainly not a product of the "Renaissance" movement in and of themselves (had they been, you might have expected clothing to take on the lines shown in classical statuary--after all, art and architecture were certainly greatly influenced by Roman and Greek models....)

I would argue that there was a "Renaissance" going on in England in the 16th Century, though I agree that the term is misleading, and even more so when the word English is left of. I always thought it unfortunate that these faires, now so popular across America were coined (Rennaisance Faires or festivals). Kind of misleading.

Well, my personal library is somewhat limited and biased towards German art and costume, but here's what I've found... The earliest I've found an ostrich plume worn on a person was in the "Très Riches Heures" of Jean, Duc de Berry. In the month of April, there is a young lady wearing two ostrich plumes in her hat. This dates from 1413-16. There are ostrich plumes shown decorating men's hats in the tapestry of "The Unicorn Hunt" from the late fifteenth century. Some of the earliest woodcuts from Albrecht Dürer are the "Albertina Passion" from 1495-96. Two of the four prints, "Christ bearing the cross" and "Christ on the cross", show landsknechts wearing ostrich feathers in their hats. There are numerous other examples including book illustrations from 1492-3, but too many to mention here. One of the earliest paintings attributed to Lucas Cranach is "The Martyrdom of St. Catherine" dated to 1505. It clearly shows ostrich feathers in the hat of a landsknecht. There are numerous others including "The Judgment of Paris" (1512-4) and the portrait of Duchess Catherine of Saxony, dated 1514. "The Triumph of Maximilian I" was a series of woodcuts produced by Hans Burgkmair (among others) between 1512-19 for a processional march. Of the 137 plates, more than half show ostrich feathers being worn. A gorgeous work by Hans Holbein the elder is "the Isenheim Altarpiece". Dated to 1516, it shows a landsknecht wearing an ostrich feather in his hat. Hans Holbein the younger has a few works showing ostrich feathers, including his 1535 portrait of Simon George, 1536 portrait of Henry VIII, 1539 painting of Edward, Prince of Wales, 1541 pen and ink drawing of Prince Edward with a monkey, and his 1941 vellum of the child Charles Brandon. The portrait of Francis I attributed to François Clouet appears to have an ostrich plume in his hat as well. I've shown examples from England and France, and I could go on all day with examples from Germany. Albrecht Altdorfer, Jost Amman, Burgkmair, Cranach, and Dürer could each supply dozens of examples.

If you try to see the renaissance as universal entity across Europe, there will never be a satisfactory time/place definition. The renaissance arrived in different places at different times and in different ways. I think the fact that by the time the renaissance reached England it was quite different is rather the point. In Italy it was artistic as well as intellectual. In Germany, it was more of a religious renaissance. In England it was more political and religious. Shakespeare was not alone, just the best known. What about Christopher Marlowe, John Donne, Ben Johnson and Robert Herrick? The seeds of the renaissance were sewn in the late 13th century as the works of Greek and Roman intellectuals began to be translated. The system of universities spread these "new" ideas as the lecturers traveled from place to place. One of the reasons that Italy is seen as the only place where the renaissance occurred is political bias. In the U.S. (and England I suspect) history is taught in an ethnocentric way. If it didn't happen to our immediate ancestors or effect "our continent" it's largely ignored. Because it was so stunning, the renaissance in Italy is the exception to this. The fact that many of Martin Luther's ideas were proposed by Jan Hus in Bohemia 100 years earlier is rarely taught. The renaissance was most startling in Italy, so it gets all the press. Shakespeare has a large body of popular works, so he is the best known. I get the feeling this is becoming incoherent as I get more tired. I'll go to bed now. :-) Regards, Dietmar "Victory or Defeat rests in God's hands; over Honor, we ourselves are Lord and Master." _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sat Jun 5 06:14:15 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA30307 for ; Sat, 5 Jun 1999 06:14:14 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id FAA14600; Sat, 5 Jun 1999 05:47:26 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id FAA27259 for h-costume-outgoing; Sat, 5 Jun 1999 05:24:33 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo29.mx.aol.com (imo29.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.73]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id FAA27215 for ; Sat, 5 Jun 1999 05:24:22 -0600 (MDT) From: AnnBWass@aol.com Received: from AnnBWass@aol.com (3869) by imo29.mx.aol.com (IMOv20) id 6OQWa11536 for ; Sat, 5 Jun 1999 07:23:45 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <12d5cb06.248a62c1@aol.com> Date: Sat, 5 Jun 1999 07:23:45 EDT Subject: Re: H-COST: Jumpers, models To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 10 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: AnnBWass@aol.com In a message dated 6/5/1999 12:12:29 AM Eastern Daylight Time, penny.creative.outlets@erols.com writes: > I am working with a 1908 publication and seeing references to jumpers.

( I believe the English call it a pinafore.) In each case, the jumper seems to be a top with no sleeves or very short kimono sleeves which was worn over a blouse (waist) during this period. The skirt appears to be separate, but I can't swear to it. It did frequenlty match the fabric of the jumper top. Hope H.

Certainly England flowered in Elizabethan times, but to characterize it as an extension of the Renaissance, while not entirely off base, does really miss the kernel of it, IMO. Renaissance Faire has a certain ring to it in a marketing sense, and applies to Europe in general, while Elizabethan would be too delimiting for SCA and faire purposes. Hope H.

More and more I see the biggest turning points of European history as somewhere around 1350 and somewhere around 1750. Obviously there were individual countries that had various kinds of "Golden Ages," like Italy in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, or England in the sixteenth--small 'r' renaissances, perhaps. There were also major movements such as Humanism, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and so on. But the concept of the Renaissance as the beginning of the discovery of individualism, subjectivity, a new era in human thought, and so on, is really a nineteenth-century idea which is currently being superseded by other periodizations. This is particularly true if you look at the history of different subgroups: women's history, for instance, or rural history.

I have a photograph of my great-grandmother taken around 1912, wearing what appears to be a dark jumper dress over a floral blouse. I can't see any sign that the top and skirt are seperate. I doubt that this was a trendy style, because she would have been in her late 60's at the time. As for the term "model" I believe that in this period the word is referrring to the picture of the dress, in the sense of something to emulate or to be copied. The young ladies showing the dresses were called "mannequins".

I didn't see the original post . . . but anyway, _The Edwardian Modiste_ has: A 1907 "Lady's Jumper Suit" on page 113. The original publications applied the term "suit" to dresses as well as to tailored suits with separate jackets and skirts A 1907 "Lady's Jumper Blouse" on page 128 And a number of dresses in similar styles that are not called "jumpers" or any specific style; for example the 1908 dress titled "For Autumn and Winter" on page 264 This style (a dress with short sleeves or no sleeves with a blouse underneath) was also called the "pinafore" and the "guimpe" style. The 1907 fashion column on page 69 uses all three terms in the same paragraph, "Much has been said of the pinafore or jumper style of waist. While this is a very youthful style, it is not confined to young girls. Women of mature years are also affecting the guimpe style." It seems to have been a very popular style in the 1906-1909 period. "Waist" in this period could refer to either a dress bodice or a blouse. As Margo said, "model" usually referred to a garment to be imitated or copied (not necessarily verbatim).

I don't have time to check for the exact issues now, but I have some late 1860s and/or early 1870s fashion magazines with pictures of sleeveless bodices and white blouses. The bodices are not called "jumpers" that I recall. I think "peasant waists" was one term; probably the style was thought to be based on folk dress. The blouses were not necessarily called "blouses," either. I think "chemise russe" was one term. Fran > > > My first dress to make in Home Ec. was a jumper dress, a popular style at > the time.

All original buttons and embroidery, totally gorgeous. Very late 18 c. It was Peacock blue with embroidery on the front and plain off white linen on the back. It was so beautiful, I had to save all the images from it. I also have a photo of a waist coat in progress from the early 19 c.(Regency), the design is embroidered on to a single piece if white satin. All it needs is to be cut out and sewn. But only the front is there. This makes me think that only the fronts were done and the backs were plain. Hope this helps, let me know if you want to see the waist coat pics, I have them in my image file. cheers, jd Melanie Wilson wrote: > -Poster: Melanie Wilson > > Can anyone tell me if the back of a gents waistcoat was in plain fabric > (shiney) like today or in the same fabric as the front ? > > My sidesaddle waist coat is all the same & this dates back to early 1900s, > but all the pictures I have only show the front > > Thanks > > Mel > _________________________________________________________________ > To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com > with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Jun 6 09:20:15 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA23538 for ; Sun, 6 Jun 1999 09:20:14 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA14376; Sun, 6 Jun 1999 08:53:54 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id IAA08276 for h-costume-outgoing; Sun, 6 Jun 1999 08:29:46 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail.wireweb.net (mail.wireweb.net [207.71.23.9]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id IAA08267 for ; Sun, 6 Jun 1999 08:29:42 -0600 (MDT) Received: by mail.wireweb.net from localhost (router,SLMail V3.2); Sun, 06 Jun 1999 09:25:06 -0500 Received: by mail.wireweb.net from system (216.3.231.221::mail daemon; unverified,SLMail V3.2); Sun, 06 Jun 1999 09:25:04 -0500 Message-ID: <375A86AB.6E5B@wireweb.net> Date: Sun, 06 Jun 1999 09:33:15 -0500 From: "Cynthia Bucheger" X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: burn tests Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-SLUIDL: 8550AF93-1AD411D3-BB2D0040-33537EE5 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Cynthia Bucheger" I have a question about the burn tests that have been talked about. I understand that if the threads melt it is definately a polyester. If they don't melt it's a natural fiber. The smell of the burn can also tell me about the fiber, though it doesn't help me much, as I can't smell much difference between burns that I have done-sinus problems. What does it mean when the fabric refuses to burn unless the flame is kept directly on the threads? When the flame is moved away the fibers look undamaged but disolve into dust when touched. The fabric by the way is an upholestry velvet from the bargien table, no content available, not rubberized either. What about the natural fibers- does linen or cotton burn at a faster rate than the others? I have a linen-linen look fabric that burns like a natural fiber, and flames travel very fast up the thread. Is there a significance to that?

However, when I talked to Annie Hadley, the head cutter for many of Sandy Powell's [and others] shows [she cut both "Elizabeth" & "Shakespeare in Love"] back in January, she was working on a gladiator movie [we joked about beefy men in short skirts].

The Museum of Costume in Bath has a lot of their men's 18th waistcoats online-for some reason I couldn't pull up the right pages this morning, maybe they are working on the site--but from what I remember when I looked at it before, there are full descriptions, sometimes a photo--I think this is basically their file catalogue info on each piece.

With sleeved waistcoats, the sleeves also are often done in a less expensive fabric, though sometimes the cuffs are fashion fabric, to be seen under the full sleeve of the coat. I am speaking of 18th and 19th century.

This doesn't mean, however, that the backs couldn't be silk...but this happens less often. I've got some 19th century waistcoats with shawl collars & the underside of the collar as well as the back, is cotton, the facings only being of silk.

Not exactly. Natural fibers only burn, and don't melt while synthetics melt and burn. If it melts, it's a synthetic,although some of the cellulose based synthetics (i.e., rayon) act like a natural fiber. > The smell of the burn can also tell me about the fiber, though > it doesn't help me much, as I can't smell much difference between > burns that I have done-sinus problems.

It sounds like a natural fiber because of the ash, but it could be rayon treated with flame retardant. Synthetics melt to form little plastic balls. Vegetable fibers burn to leave a dull grey ash that glows before going out. Animal fibers burn, but are self extinguishing, leaving a dull black hollow bead which crushes easily to grit. > What about the natural fibers- does linen or cotton burn at a > faster rate than the others? I have a linen-linen look fabric > that burns like a natural fiber, and flames travel very fast up > the thread. Is there a significance to that? Burn rate is determined by a number of factors. The easier way to decide whether it's linen or cotton is to look at the staple length. Take a single piece of thread and use your finger to scrape along its length and make it fray. Linen has very long bast fibers two to four inches and longer. The longest cotton staple is only an inch to an inch and one half long. Rayon can have exceptionally long fibers because it is machine made. Vegetable fibers (cotton, rayon, linen, hemp, ramie, jute, etc.) burn only, but the fiber does not retreat from the flame. The smell is that of burning paper, leaves, or wood. Animal fibers (wool, mohair, cashmere, alpaca, silk, rabbit, etc.) burn only and the fiber retreats from the flame. The smell is that of burning hair, feathers or meat. Silk doesn't have as strong an odor when burned. Hope this helps.

The event went so well that people have asked us to make it an annual event - jeeze, why do people always want us to work! The ball was held at the stunning, ornate Northcote Town Hall in Melbourne and was organised by Wendy Purcell with Paul Poulton. It was good to see so many costumes come along with their people, a good mix of civilian men, lovely ladies and military types, filling the room with colour and creating an atmosphere for several re-encactment groups, regular costumiers and first timers. There were so many great costumes, in fact, that Canadian visitor Katherine Jepson, acting as hall costume judge, was kept busy all night accosting people to present ribbons (although giving the Grenadere standees by the entranceway awards may have been above and beyond the call of duty). Entertainment was provided by dance caller Colin Townes and his musicians, providing simple leads for even the clumsiest or newest of dancers (and yes, THAT dance from the TV show had everyone on their feet and looked great). A video of Persuasion was won by a certain Army Private Potter who, in other places, is a Lieutenant Potter in the navy. There will be some shots of the Regency Ball posted on the Australian Costumers' Guild website in the coming weeks when we all remember to unload our cameras and get the film processed. As to another event of this nature? Agh! Why do we constantly find nooses for our heads! -C. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 7 08:13:30 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA12285 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 08:13:25 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA10370; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 07:49:30 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id HAA10679 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 07:24:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp1.erols.com (smtp1.erols.com [207.172.3.234]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id HAA10671 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 07:23:59 -0600 (MDT) Received: from costume (207-172-244-193.s193.tnt4.rcm.va.dialup.rcn.com [207.172.244.193]) by smtp1.erols.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id JAA20711 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 09:23:56 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <002f01beb0e8$f7042da0$c1f4accf@costume> From: "Penny Ladnier" To: "h-costume" Subject: H-COST: Jumpers Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 09:23:39 -0400 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 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Penny Ladnier" Thanks to all for the information about jumpers. I think we are getting a global education in fashion terminology. After realizing the confusion about the term jumper, I decided to create the webpage for the article on "Jumpers", http://www.costumegallery.com/McCalls/May_1908/Jumpers.htm This is from a 1908 McCall's magazine. This way our European friends can see what the U.S. calls jumpers. I am working on placing all the fashion articles from this issue of McCall's online. We are working on having corporate sponsorship to place many issues of fashion periodicals online. We want to make our online library a TRUE library for fashion research. I have spoken with many authorities in the field to select the type of publications to present first. I think you will be pleased with what they selected. A couple of museums and a private collector have offered some of their collections to placed online. We all agreed that since many people can not make it to view their collections, that we would bring the collections to you. After this first year of being online, professionally, we have discovered that the educational system wants more information like this online. Its not just our handful of costumers who are interested in past fashions. Many of our visitors are students from every level of education studying from literature to social studies. The teachers around the world are wanting their students to know how people dressed and lived in past eras.

I feel the need to comment at this point. "Pantlettes" (which is not a 16th century term that I've ever seen) are refered to as "drawers" in the 16th century - specifically England. They are believe to have orginated in Spain during the 15th century as an adaption of Moorish fashion. From Spain they slowly spread to other parts of Europe and appear in England in the latter half of the 16th century as a gift to Queen Elizabeth. They were considered "foreign" and generally worn in England at the time.

In many illuminated manuscripts of the 13th century on up, men are shown wearing some type of pants or braes or drawers. Women aren't, the most they do is tuck up their skirts when doing heavy labor. What prompted men to move from the long gowns and robes of the 10th-12th century to two legged garments? And why would men have been more prone to develop this type of garment than women if chafing isn't the reason? It seems clear to me that certain ideas about nudity or undress, at least for the non noble classes, just weren't as retrictive as today. For instance, the picture in the Tres Riche Heures where the three peasants are in their cottage warming their cockles. No one is the least bothered about lifting their skirts and showing their stuff. And none of them have any pants on. So if men wore them for some reasons and not for others..... well the *logical* next step to be would be, what about the women? I *do* realize that just because it makes logical sense to me now, doesn't mean it did to them. So the main question is.... What prompted either sex in any locale or time to start wearing pants.? -- Cynthia Long Merouda the True of Bornover Barony of Madrone Kingdom of An Tir _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 7 13:54:19 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA18220 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 13:54:17 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA10265; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 13:30:34 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id NAA01608 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 13:04:25 -0600 (MDT) Received: from isomedia.com (root@watson.isomedia.com [207.149.221.16]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id NAA01533 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 13:04:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: from wingate (pm137.isomedia.com [207.149.222.52]) by isomedia.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA04389 for ; Mon, 7 Jun 1999 12:04:07 -0700 From: "Wylie & Gail" To: Subject: RE: H-COST: Evolution of pants Date: Mon, 7 Jun 1999 12:00:13 -0700 Message-ID: <000001beb117$fd857a60$0100a8c0@apsconsulting.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 In-Reply-To: <375C0194.89C89929@serv.net> Importance: Normal Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Wylie & Gail" I am not a scholar and haven't researched any of this, but I'm just wondering if perhaps men riding horseback during battle discovered a need for something between the saddle or horses back that protected their gentle parts? From horse riding men the style could have filtered down to those not needing said protection. Or perhaps it was a fashion seen in other cultures (I'm thinking Mongols, 13th century) and introduced into Europe? Or perhaps it was something that the upper-class could afford to wear, but the lower classes could not? "Show off those white linen knickers, dearie!"

The reason behind them is that it is easier to ride horses with them and the Mongols did. And they were more prone to be adopted by men because men were the warriors. There maybe other reasons as well, but this is the classic one. ~!~ R.L.Shep http://www.mcn.org/e/fsbks ---------- >From: Merouda the True of Bornover >To: Historical Costume >Subject: H-COST: Evolution of pants >Date: Mon, Jun 7, 1999, 10:29 AM > > >-Poster: Merouda the True of Bornover > >A question occurred to me this weekend.

I read somewhere that American textile factories chop linen up to the same length as cotton, because that length was what their machinery was designed to handle. Therefore, other linen, e.g. from Ireland, was preferable, to get the same drape as in, say, medieval times. I haven't checked personally on how accurate this is or was :-) But since bast fibers can be several feet long, when just removed from the flax stalk, it seems plausible.

There are very early bog finds and Roman statuary of Celts and Germanics wearing pants. One of Charlemagne's biographers says that he only wore long tunics twice in his life, preferring pants and a short tunic the rest of the time. The Bayeaux Tapestry shows Norman cavalry wearing what appears to be pants, though there is some dispute about this. Later in the "high middle ages" while men were wearing two piece hose (two separate legs) it is widely believed that they tucked their long chemise between their legs and up in front and back and did not wear "underwear" in any modern sense. This continued right through to the end of the 16th century at least. There was never a time period where all men wore pants or that they did not wear some other long robe or skirt type clothes. I don't see conclusive evidence for men wearing pants from the year ____ on, until you get into the...errrr...17th century? After 1600 or so my pool of knowledge is rather shallow.

I don't know about always, but certainly a majority of the examples we have. I've seen them with or with out pants, but it's also more usual than not to see pants.

They get listed as collectable in the hope that people will pay more for them. It's up to you to decide if the fabric you buy is "collectable" or not.

It's the saddle that kills! Believe me: you need pants of some sort or other. Especially with the high ridge knight's saddle. Recently it is proposed that knights between ca 1050 and 1400 had special short leather (chamois?) breeches to protect even the linen-clad crotch on long rides or crusade campaigns.

And why would men have been more prone to develop this type > of garment than women if chafing isn't the reason? Here's what we found in more than 10 years of research. Bronze Age Celts wore pants, closed before and behind, there is ample evidence for this in Roman sources. When the Romans reached northern climes they reluctantly adopted pants/breeches for riding. German tribes (Saxons, Franks, Frisians) wore pants as well as can be seen on various Roman victory monuments. These Germanics joined the legions and there also introduced pants. By ca 500 many of the Celtic, German and Post Roman (Romanised) peoples in North Western Europe wore pants. Charlemagne is said to have worn linen underpants (drawers) next to the skin, over which he wore hose (we don't know if these were real pants or seperate leggings, I think the former. Why would he differ from the other Franks?). Vikings wore pants too; there is archeological evidence for them (Thorsberg (with feet!), Damendorf (without feet), Daetgen (these are supposed to be women's pants!)). By then we're into the 11th c. Several pictures of Vikings and Normans show people with fairly narrow and close fitting pantlegs. We know there were already pants with feet and that for several purposes men wound their lower legs with strips of band- or cardwoven material to be able to ride better and move through damp forest with a lot of undergrowth. As everybody knows: normal pantlegs get wet in long grass or brush and slap your legs, which is a very uncomfortable feeling. It is much more cosy to have your legs wrapped close in a dubble layer of wool under these circumstances. Then comes a period of wich nothing is known about legwear: ca 1020-1100. We see close fitting hose with hardly a wrinkle, but definetely coloured, so there is no confusion here with bare legs. They must be close fitting pants or seperate hose with feet which are pulled up tight. Then, in an Evangelarium of St Edmunds Abbey, Bury, kept in Pembroke College, Cambridge (MS 120), dating to the beginning of the 12th c, there are miniatures of common people, peasants, criminals, etc. which clearly show separate hose with a higher front than back, which is clearly tied to a belt under the hitched up tunic. There are also pictures of men in long, wide (under) pants, reaching over the calves, being undressed or clapped in manacles in a prison situation. The latter has exactly the wide crotchpart of later underpants. After that I have seen dozens of underpants in whites or light greys in the same sources as gaily coloured seperate hose. From the middle of the 13th c onwards there is abundant evidence that hose have won the day, although as late as the 15th c sometimes peasants, especially very poor ones, can be seen in wide long pants of a coloured cloth. Besides this: everybody (men, that is) seems to have worn underpants. Even the poor Franciscans in the beginning of the 13th c, when, to avoid losing them to thieving Hungarians, they dirtied them with all kinds of filth (a.o. dung), so they would not have to go completely naked. They also wore linen shirts under their habits. Several sources, quoted in Bumke 'Hoefische Kultur', say that it was considered shameful to go without underwear. My hypothesis is: long pants, with or without feet, have been the normal male wear from at least the Neolithicum in Northern and Eastern Europe (Slavs wear them too, as did Magyars, Parthians, Scythians, Persians, etc) until now. During the early 10th c there arose a fashion, probably a mixture of neccessity and showing of a good leg, to make these pants very tight; as tight as possible, while before they were, if neccessay, just bound with bands. Underpants have probably been worn for a long time as well, but since when is very hard to make out. Wide underpants with tight complete pants go together uneasily. They bunch up around the crotch and this feels uncomfortable if the underpants are made of linen and the pants of wool. To free this part of the anatomy, pants were made into hose, which can be pulled up tighter than pants with feet, which are held up by a belt (until the rise of points, which was quite a different concept). Seperate hose have a very long history. Oetzi, the Iceman, already wore them 2000 bC, although these had no feet. Seperate hose of leather were especially used by hunters, both riding or walking, and sheperds to protect the woollen pants under them from thorns and catching branches. In my opinion hose have held out so long because they made a fashion statement and attracted ladies. As the cloth got more supple or stretched better, more leg was shown. People who wouldn't or shouldn't, ,just wore longer coats or robes, or cheated by applying false calves or thighs. Even when Spanish or Venetian breeches came into fashion, the lower leg was and stayed an attraction puller. Until the beginning of the 19th c a well turned calve was very much admired and the return of the long pants was a disappointment to many a female. > It seems clear to me that certain ideas about nudity or undress, at > least for the non noble classes, just weren't as retrictive as today. > For instance, the picture in the Tres Riche Heures where the three > peasants are in their cottage warming their cockles.

The miniature (February) shows two peasants, a man and a woman, warming themselves in front of a fire, their genitals showing. Next to them is another woman, dressed exactly like the peasant lady, but she's only lifts her skirt a little, here shift showing, to bare her lower legs from just under the knees. She modestly averts here face from the scene next to her. Above her is a clothpole attached to the wall. Over this hang two white pieces of cloth, one longer and narrower than the other which is fuller and rather wide. These could be towels, but I doubt this. Towels were folded and hung straight, not in folds. They could be undergarments, even wide underpants. The trouble is that in the same miniature a farmer chopping a tree is shown, whose cotte is split in the middle and both parts are stuffed between his belt, thus showing his short underpants with the characteristic crotch-pouch of the period. The hanging garments definitely are not of the type of these underpants. Female underpants, then? We will never know (probably). Incidentally, these short underpants also appear on the June miniature of the same Heures; a white and a grey pair, and in July; a white pair, and in September (white again) and on the Crucifixion both convicts beside Christ wear them (white). In the Heures the hose are either shown covering the whole leg, or rolled down to under the knees. So in the February scene and several others. This goes for women too. > So if men wore them for some > reasons and not for others..... well the *logical* next step to be > would be, what about the women?

I think men have always worn pants in Western, Northern and Eastern Europe, be it in the form of underpants (braies, breccae, drawers, breeches) when they wore hose, or upperpants in Celtic, German, Viking, 16th c Spanish and Venetian, 17th and 18th c kneebreeches, until now.

Also, I saw some wonderful Fortuny and G------ velvet evening coats at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York today. From '05 through the early twenties as I recall. The printed intricate all-over designs mimicked Medieval brocade patterns in a number of cases. In other cases, the patterns were more art deco. The printing was in silver and gold textile paint---scrumptious. Silver paint on muted turquoise velvet, gold paint on sepia velvet,etc. The paint color on one garment changed from gold to copper back to gold and so on in softly blended "stripes," while the all-over pattern was medieval, the eagles in a diaper (diamond) design and lots of complex vines. The paint changed the texture of the velvet, creating an attractive textural contrast to the unprinted parts of the design. Definitely a candidate for do-it-yourself stenciled or block printed embellishment on small areas. I'm guessing these were silk screened because there were no visible joins in the huge patterns.

As I recall, the cotton velvet at Sirs in Fayetteville, TN was $5.50 a yard but I don't know if they do mail order and you can never be sure how much there will be of any particular color. They might also have some cotton velvet at the Sirs across the street from the one which carries regular fabric as well as upholstery fabric and might well have velvet there that is cotton.

Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Lola Lee I have a good friend who belongs to a male chorus, and for an upcoming project he is having costumes created. Some of the costumes will be Cossack uniforms - the seamstress already has a copy of the Folkwear Patterns Cossack uniform, and recently they went to G Street Fabrics to select materials. The final outfits will be cotton or linen, lined with acetate (I guess because it's cheaper, and the costumes need to be comfortable). She's working on a prototype uniform to see how things look before starting on the real outfits. Now he is looking for swords, emblems, "the little hangy things that look like medals on the belt", cartridges, whatever that a Cossack would have when wearing the uniform. I guess these would need to be as authentic as possible, as this is a chorus that sings Russian, Ukrainian, Slavic music.

In December 1998 it was obviously in London. at http://releases.twoten.press.net/releases/date/1998/10/09/FILM-Titanic.html I found an old announcement from 9 October 1998: "Amsterdam, Holland February - March 1999 Paris, France - April/May 1999 Dusseldorf, Germany - June - July 1999 Milan, Italy - September - October 1999 Dates and cities may be subject to change." The city and date for Germany were already obviously changed. It was not in Duesseldorf from June to July. But April 16 to June 6 it was in Berlin, Germany, Messegelaende (Exhibition Grounds). Just over, sorry. There is a German homepage at http://www.deutsche-entertainment.de/concert-concept/titanic/index.html (and I was wondering why all the advertisement posters were removed from the subway walls...)

But that all aside. We also ran into the dilemma of how to keep our members and guest cool. One person brought up that the Elizabethans did a Greek Revival in art and dress. So the theme was Greek. We all made chitons and roman type garb and it was very cool garb indeed! Just needed more sunscreen... I wore a body stocking under my gossamer fabrics and even that was cool. You may want to look for revivals in period for your specific place and recreate that bit of art for your costume to keep cool. Sincerely, F.

Learn these here: http://home1.gte.net/artiom/cossacks/coscamp.htm If you still want to dress up, fortunately you have an excellent Web source for Cossack everything at http://home1.gte.net/artiom/cossacks/kazaki.htm. Code of ethics, habits, heroic poetry, weapons, tactics, skills, and much more. It includes some large scale colored etchings from the 19th Century of different ranks of soldiers, and in different seasonal garb at http://home1.gte.net/artiom/uniforms.htm. Yes, and all the doo-dads shown in great detail. Cossacks were an identifiable ethnic group since the middle ages, so the costumes vary with the time period. If your time period is early 20 th Century, the Costumers Manifesto has a 1905 Neva Magazine page showing dress patterns for Russian women. Neva was the 1905 Russian equivalent of the Ladies Home Journal. http://www.costumes.org/pages/nevamag.htm Don't miss the Cossack songs at http://home1.gte.net/artiom/cossacks/kazpesni.htm. They download in a fraction of a minute and play on your computer. No sheet music unfortunately! But they will certainly get you in the mood. The Costume Museum in St. Petersburg is a great source of ethnic costume, and images can be found at http://www.costumes.org/pages/russcostlinks.htm. It shows Russian peasant jewelry and costume for men and women: http://www.costumes.org/pages/ethnogra.htm. Hope H.

Some of the costumes will be Cossack uniforms - the seamstress already has a copy of the Folkwear Patterns Cossack uniform, and recently they went to G Street Fabrics to select materials. The final outfits will be cotton or linen, lined with acetate (I guess because it's cheaper, and the costumes need to be comfortable). She's working on a prototype uniform to see how things look before starting on the real outfits. Now he is looking for swords, emblems, "the little hangy things that look like medals on the belt", cartridges, whatever that a Cossack would have when wearing the uniform. I guess these would need to be as authentic as possible, as this is a chorus that sings Russian, Ukrainian, Slavic music. He's referring to the article about Cossacks in the National Geographic issue that was published late last year as a guide for locating similiar items. If these can be obtained, or borrowed, from somebody in the Washington DC metro area, all the better. Thanks!

Dunlap" Well, you might call Jo-Mar in Lansdale (610) 855-7162 and also in North Philly (area code 215) and get info on what they presently have in stock then. The Lansdale store is just off the main drag, From Route 202, go north on 63, cross tracks in Lansdale, go 1/2 mile, then Right at West Coast Video. Its one block off Route 63, tucked into the corner of a small center, hard to see until you're right there. Their selection is smaller than the North Philly store. The North Philly store is on "I" Street, two blocks south of Erie Avenue, just East of St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. It is an industrial neighborhood very busy with fabric shoppers. Jo-Mar is on sale about 50 % of the time, but cotton velvet might have only 6 colors at a time--good colors however, and absolutely top quality. $11/yard is a fair price for top quality. I've seen it $15 and as low at $8 at Jo-Mar. Remnants as low as $4/yard, but I would think a Houpelande would require more than a remnant. Call first regarding your specific needs. Also, 4th Street in Philadelphia starting about 6 blocks south of South Street is the "fabric district," and prices there in several shops are in almost all cases great, as low as 25% of retail in some cases. Check out Marmelsteins while you're there. It's for trimmings and buttons--not cheap, but outstanding stock. Hope H.

RenFaire nobility at our local always seems to be suffering in Western Iowa June heat and humidity. An Elizabethan farthingale could I suppose, be engineered with tiny battery-powered fans within and a few years ago I spotted an Elizabethan noblewoman with a bongrace affixed to her headdress to ward off the sun. Many, many carried fans and filled and refilled tankards strapped to a belt or girdle. Ours is held at a college campus and the student center is open for restrooms and to cool off. But the weather high for this weekend promises to be only about 80 which would be a near record low for this event. But of course it is supposed to rain Friday night. Western Europe was a few degrees colder on average from about 1500-1700 but the latest research says it wasn't a mini ice age. There was lots of freaky weather--same as now. The people then were tougher--no air conditioning or central heat. But then they weren't constantly traveling between home, car, work, car, shopping center, car, school, etc. And of course, existing portraits show people in their best and in natural fabrics. I'm writing this as I'm tied to my desk awaiting a faculty member's immenent(I hope) call-back and suffering in our work area where the air circulation is always inadequate all year and the room gets hotter as the day goes on. Outside is 90 with high humidity but it feels cooler out there because of a breeze. We are threatening to break out a couple of windows, but our director has promised fans soon (he has been pushing for years for a new heating cooling system because the present one has never worked right but until people start dropping over dead...). _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 9 15:43:11 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA00606 for ; Wed, 9 Jun 1999 15:43:10 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA18731; Wed, 9 Jun 1999 15:21:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id OAA06409 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 9 Jun 1999 14:52:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: from new-server.pathway.net (www.pathway.net [207.76.141.2]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id OAA06392 for ; Wed, 9 Jun 1999 14:52:02 -0600 (MDT) Received: from annaoftderturm (unverified [208.231.48.73]) by new-server.pathway.net (Rockliffe SMTPRA 3.3.0) with SMTP id for ; Wed, 9 Jun 1999 16:52:21 -0400 Message-ID: <001301beb2b9$61429540$4930e7d0@annaoftderturm> From: "Nancy Santella" To: "h-costume" Subject: H-COST: velvet Houpelande Date: Wed, 9 Jun 1999 16:48:07 -0400 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 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Nancy Santella" The houpelande came into popular around 1375, it is a loose fitting dress with many variations including long flowing sleeves that tough the ground, often dagged.

However, since ermine is the one with a black pattern of three dots near the top of a vertical line (one at the top and the other two a short distance down the line, one on each side) on a background of white fur, it would be a relatively simple design to print or paint on a piece of nice white fur (the smooth stuff, not the fur that looks like a sheepskin). I think the line is about a palm-length long and as wide as a pinkie, and the dots that size as well. When I've seen it done, the patterns were about 6-8 inches away from each other.

There is also no way to press the seams at one point, following the directions. Perhaps making a sample of the back area where the pockets and pleats are would be helpful. Just a suggestion. YMMV.

Ermine is the winter coat of a weasel. The black dots represent the tail. In reality, the skins are only 7"-10" long and the tail is about half that. The tails would swing free from the cloth. > I think the line is about a palm-length long and as wide as a > pinkie, and the dots that size as well.

My hands are going to be larger than yours, but that sounds rather large. But there should only be one dot per tail. Charlene added: >> She's tried a couple methods for making it.

It would be awfully time consuming (everything worthwhile is, right?) but if I were to try it, I'd take strips of white fur 1" wide and make neat little tubes that look like tails. Cut them into small strips about 4" long and dip the last 1/2" of one end into a black dye, and you're on the right track. Then stitch the undyed end of each little tube down to more white fur at regular intervals.

Your question led me to wonder how much a real pelt would cost, thinking it would be expensive. I checked Moscow Hide and Fur (http://www.hideandfur.com) and they aren't actually that much. A quick look showed them ranging from $22 for good complete pelts, down to less than $5 for damaged pelts. I realize that they are small, and several pelts would be needed even if you only wanted to trim a neckline. But, if it's for trim you need to cut it up anyway, so the damaged pelts would probably be OK. If that was still too much, you could use the real ermine for part of it, and maybe altered white rabbit for the hem (depending on exactly what she was going to do with it). That way you'd have all real fur (!) and the ermine can be used as a pattern to alter the rabbit to match. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 10 09:08:15 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA16986 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 09:08:14 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA08745; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 08:47:44 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id IAA12714 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 08:17:51 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo29.mx.aol.com (imo29.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.73]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id IAA12701 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 08:17:48 -0600 (MDT) From: DRGurley@aol.com Received: from DRGurley@aol.com (7813) by imo29.mx.aol.com (IMOv20) id 6NCVa12120 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 10:16:49 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <8926d57.249122c8@aol.com> Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 10:16:40 EDT Subject: Re: Fw: H-COST: Climate and Clothing To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 10 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: DRGurley@aol.com In a message dated 6/9/99 1:07:55 PM Central Daylight Time, ches@io.com writes: > Also it helps to be a peasant or lower-class personna.

A couple of years ago, my grandmother, who is in the wonderful habit of passing along family heirlooms to the grandkids, gave me a velvet evening jacket that she had worn in the 1930s. It had a number of ermine tails attached to the collar, and I nearly had heart failure when she suggested that I could cut the tails off and use them for my medieval garb! This, of course, is the woman who cut up her white leather wedding gloves to make shoes for dolls! Needless to say, the jacket is wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and stored carefully at my parents' house. Anyway, not sure what my point was. Just thought I'd share, I guess! --Jessica _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 10 10:25:28 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA18285 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 10:25:27 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA19260; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 10:04:47 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id JAA28902 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 09:34:52 -0600 (MDT) Received: from new-server.pathway.net (www.pathway.net [207.76.141.2]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id JAA28876 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 09:34:46 -0600 (MDT) Received: from annaoftderturm (unverified [208.231.48.21]) by new-server.pathway.net (Rockliffe SMTPRA 3.3.0) with SMTP id for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 11:35:02 -0400 Message-ID: <000601beb356$2362f600$1530e7d0@annaoftderturm> From: "Nancy Santella" To: "h-costume" Subject: H-COST: faux ermine Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 11:30:14 -0400 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 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Nancy Santella" What about instead of floss, a thick (chenille) type yarn, attached in short pieces.

The tufts are actually the ermine's tails, which look kind of like -- well -- hmmm. Not like rabbit tails. Kind of like chipmunk tails? They are black at the tips. If I were going to make fake ermine trim for a cloak collar, I would buy rabbit skins (not politically correct, but that's what I'd do). I'd cut some of them up, roll them up into "tails," dip the ends in paint or dye. Then I'd make slits in the big fur pieces, stick the tails through, and sew them on the back. I have never seen this done, but that's what I'd try. If it was for something smaller in diameter but longer -- like the edge of a sideless surcote -- I'd probably just use fake white fur and draw spots. You might try something similar with fake fur, but I don't think it would look the same.

I'm located in the central part of the state near Bangor. I've had good luck at Mardens in Brewer, Maine. Mardens is a 'surplus and salvage' chain of family owned stores in our state. The family member who purchases fabrics for the stores usually gets some very nice fabrics that satisfy the quilters to the costumers. Jo Ann's is the largest fabric store chain in my area and really isn't that bad. The staff are polite and if you keep a keen eye on the sales cycles and bargain area, you can get some nice fabrics (depending on what you wish to work with). We can talk via private email if you like. sca: Lady Bryn Millar Arts & Sciences Shire of Endewearde _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 10 15:58:29 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA24036 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 15:58:28 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA20457; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 15:38:07 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id PAA25833 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 15:07:53 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail1.atl.bellsouth.net (mail1.atl.bellsouth.net [205.152.0.28]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id PAA25818 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 15:07:48 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pentium120 (host-209-214-71-196.atl.bellsouth.net [209.214.71.196]) by mail1.atl.bellsouth.net (8.8.8-spamdog/8.8.5) with SMTP id RAA25474 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 17:05:21 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <003001beb385$4a095360$c447d6d1@pentium120> From: "Brad Wilson" To: Subject: H-COST: Janet Arnold's Eliz. & Jacobian Shirt Article Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 17:07:33 -0400 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 4.72.3110.1 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Brad Wilson" Does anyone have a copy of the article that had the Elizabethan/Jacobian shirts/smocks ??

Gra/inne / Carol Oh! Goodness. Thanks for your concern, but she's definitely not the type to have her feelings hurt if I don't take a suggestion. She certainly is practical, but she does understand keeping something intact for sentimental reasons. She likes to re-use parts of old things to make new ones, but I'm certain she won't be upset if I don't as well. I think she'd be thrilled if I still had her jacket to pass along to my grandchildren someday. =) --Jessica _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 10 17:07:27 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA25164 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 17:07:26 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA03332; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 16:47:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id QAA09851 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 16:16:52 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail.cho.org (mail.cho.org [209.77.137.36]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with SMTP id QAA09840 for ; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 16:16:49 -0600 (MDT) Received: from [172.19.1.35] ([172.19.1.35]) by mail.cho.org; Thu, 10 Jun 1999 15:16:12 -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" X-Sender: ldownward@198.211.240.120 Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <026f01beb388$ee09dae0$ac350418@c59303-a.mckiny1.tx.home.com> Date: Thu, 10 Jun 1999 15:15:04 -0800 To: h-costume@indra.com From: Lynn Downward Subject: Re: H-COST: Janet Arnold's Eliz. & Jacobian Shirt Article Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Lynn Downward I don't know what he needs, but we all seem to want to read it.

Thus it is, in fact, illegal to publish it (even by photocopying) without the permission of the copyright owner. Even though Arnold is dead, modern copyright coverage continues for decades after the author's death. We've been through this discussion on the list before . . . No, if it is the whole article rather than a small quote it is not "fair use." No, it is not OK to pirate the article just because you want to learn from it. If this were legal it would be legal to pirate any nonfiction work, since most are designed to educate in one way or another. Yes, such reprinting would damage the value of future works, since (at least according to rumor) the book on shirts and smocks Arnold was unable to finish will be published after her death. Probably the patterns in the article would be included in this book. The copyright to the book, and the revenues from it, would probably be shared by her heirs and the author or editor who finishes the book, depending on the contract they worked out between them. Why should the people who can't wait for the book, and want to read the article, not borrow it from a library? With interlibrary loan you can get practically anything.

It is likely, though I do not know for sure, that they would publish her forthcoming books and that they own some of her copyrights.

It is also not legal to do anything you want with a work just because you are learning from it. In a previous message I posted the web site address of Arnold's American publisher or distributor. They also have an email address on the site. Any requests for permission may be directed to them. If they do not own the rights being requested, they probably know who does.

While Elizabethan is not our period, it should be remembered that an Elizabethan's idea of a Greek revival or recreating Greek garments would have little to no resemblance to the actual Greeks. I doubt any Elizabethan would expose any of their limbs. Ladies would not appear without proper corseting and so forth. In actuality, I doubt that an Elizabethan Greek revival costume would be any cooler than their everyday wear.

The support for this kind of reproduction is found in section 107 (USC Title 17): I believe the responsibility for "fair use" rests directly with the person distributing or using the material. Thus there are two "fair use" issues here. The first would be that of the person publishing or copying the work, over the Internet or elsewhere. If they do not own the rights or have permission, this is not fair use, regardless of how they think readers would use the material. However, you are right in saying that the person who publishes the work--even legally--is not responsible for controlling its fair use by others. > > > "the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." "Fair use" is determined by a number of factors, which include not only the _purpose_ for which the work is used, but the _portion_ of the work used and the _number_ of people to whom it is distributed. Even in a classroom, it is not legal to copy any amount of material for any number of people. Furthermore, as far as I can tell, the law defines "educational use" as a teacher copying material for students, in the context of a formal school classroom. People do learn in many other situations, but the classroom is what the law seems to define as an "educational" setting. There are other issues in the legislative guidelines, such as "spontaneity" (the teacher decides to use the material so late in the course that there is no time to ask the copyright owner for permission). > > > That covers "fair use" (at least from the perspective of US law). Well, actually it doesn't, at least not in terms of how the law is interpreted, court precedents, etc. "Fair use" is a very complicated subject. For further information, there are a number of good books interpreting US copyright law. One is the _Copyright Handbook_, by Donald F. Johnston, published by R. R. Bowker. > As costumers, we all want to see costuming books in print. The only way this is going to happen is by buying the books and financially supporting the folk who try to make incomes off publishing these volumes, which admittedly is rather a special-interest kind of press. So support the industry! It's not just ethics--another criteria used to judge "fair use" is whether the use of the material is likely to damage its sales. >I do not have a problem with providing copies on personal request if I have reasonable >assurance of "fair use" (as I recently sent a fellow listserve member an out-of-print article s>he requested)--this does comply with the fair use clause, as quoted above. But (see above) your own copying for others is probably not "fair use," if it is done without the permission of the copyright owners. > > As for our own copyright infringment experience, we did not take legal action. Actually, the action would have had to have come from our publisher, anyways. That depends on what rights you sold to your publisher in the contract between you. If you sold them first serial rights only, for example, rather than all rights, you yourself could certainly sue someone for plagiarizing your work. Of course, I don't know the details of your contract. > We figured it wouldn't be worth the effort--or the potential nastiness to take action. Instead, we have made these people (who are competitors) eminently knowledgeable of our understanding that they copied our article. Oh--and we have enjoyed watching them eat a lot of crow, especially at professional meetings and the like (other colleagues recognized the article, too, so the word did get out)! > Good for you.

I have had occasion to consult legal counsel on copyrights (when a published article was plagirized). I do, however, want to specify how it would be legal (so that's why this email is so long). To privately reproduce a document for private research is possible--but to distribute it over the internet would not be permissable (as you cannot ensure its "fair use" in that context).

If it is out of print, I will only copy the parts I need. I do not have a problem with providing copies on personal request if I have reasonable assurance of "fair use" (as I recently sent a fellow listserve member an out-of-print article she requested)--this does comply with the fair use clause, as quoted above. As for our own copyright infringment experience, we did not take legal action. Actually, the action would have had to have come from our publisher, anyways. We figured it wouldn't be worth the effort--or the potential nastiness to take action. Instead, we have made these people (who are competitors) eminently knowledgeable of our understanding that they copied our article. Oh--and we have enjoyed watching them eat a lot of crow, especially at professional meetings and the like (other colleagues recognized the article, too, so the word did get out)! --- Visit my homepage: http://pages.hotbot.com/travel/fire.fly HotBot - Search smarter. http://www.hotbot.com _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Jun 11 14:17:56 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA13200 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 1999 14:17:55 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA20677; Fri, 11 Jun 1999 09:26:53 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id IAA10177 for h-costume-outgoing; Fri, 11 Jun 1999 08:55:35 -0600 (MDT) Received: from fep4.post.tele.dk (fep4.post.tele.dk [195.41.46.139]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id IAA10121 for ; Fri, 11 Jun 1999 08:55:22 -0600 (MDT) Received: from post12.tele.dk ([195.249.163.150]) by fep4.post.tele.dk (InterMail v4.0 201-221) with ESMTP id <19990611145520.SYDE4101.fep4@post12.tele.dk> for ; Fri, 11 Jun 1999 16:55:20 +0200 Message-ID: <3761228C.F851F8AA@post12.tele.dk> Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 16:51:56 +0200 From: leif drews X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.03 [da] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: introduction Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: leif drews Dear all! I dont know if it is the costum to this list to introduce yourself as a newbee, i joined the list yesterday eavening. Here is my representation: My name is Bjarne Drews. I am a man, 44 years old, i live in Copenhagen Denmark. I studyed at a school for Arts and Crafts in 4 years and graduated as a costume designer. It was in 1980. At the moment i do not have costuming for a living, it is hard to find a job in Denmark as we are so few inhabbitants and there are only few theaters. I earn my living in taking care of old senile people in my comunity. I keep on studying historical costuming and i spend a lot of money in buying books on the subject. I have travelled many places to look on historic costumes in museums. I have made elizabethan, early barok, late barok, early 18 th. century and mid 18 th. century, late 18th. century dress. I have also made regency dresses. My favourite period is the end of the 16th. and early 17th. century with the french farthingales. I have some costumes on exhibition at an old manorhouse called Selsoe in Denmark. In my sparetime i make costumes always. Now i am preparing to make a robe a l'anglaise. I make the embroidery for the overskirt and i make the lace real bobbin lace, a Chantilly silk lace for the sleaves and neck trimming. The fichu is also going to have handmade lace. Usually i work on a costume for several months because i make all the decoration myself. When i dont have to rush, i enjoy it very much. The costumes i make generally goes to some hairdressers, called "Akademy of Historical Hairstyles" they are recreating old hairstyles on models and have some shows arround. Lately they had a show at our National Museum in Copenhagen. I have had some knowledge in studying costume history for so many years and if i can help some of you other costume fans out there i will do my best to help with questions. The other way, i hope you can help me, if there is something that i need to know. I am looking forward to an exiting time with you all. My homepage is not finished, i expect it to be ready sunday eavening, then you can go there and se my work.

So what solution do you suggest for times when the article exists, but unavailable? It is very frustrating to know that there is published information out there that I want to read, that I am willing to pay for, but cannot obtain because it is published in something like the Proceedings of the Lower-Slobovian Ethnic Purity and Hand Washing Society, publication numbers: 14. If you know of a library where this or any other article in the Janet Arnold bibliography exists, and if they will xerox or loan it, I am sure all of us would be very grateful. --------------------------------------------- Visit our web pages!

I have never been unable to get any publication I tried to interlibrary loan, including foreign journals containing Janet Arnold's articles, and including some very obscure and/or foreign publications. (I once borrowed a Polish museum exhibit catalog, for which the public library who got it for me told me there was exactly _one_ copy in a US library. Later I bought my own copy direct from the Polish museum, which was easier than I expected.) I usually borrow through a local public library, or through the library of a nearby state university. Re the university library: Any member of the public can obtain full library privileges from them, including borrowing and interlibrary loan, for a very reasonable fee--if I recall, $20 and it's good for a year. Other universities may have similar arrangements. IMO a university library is more likely to have and/or borrow obscure publications than a public library. What I'm getting at is, if one library can't or won't borrow what you want, try a different library, particularly a university library. In my experience, anything you want to borrow is in some library and can be borrowed from them somehow. If a publication, such as the journals of the American and British Costume Societies, often contains good articles on costume, I subscribe. Such organizations also are often able to sell you back issues. If you put an ad in their newsletter, some member may sell you used issues. Specialist used costume book dealers, such as Fred Struthers, also sometimes sell used academic journals with costume articles. It is also amazing what you can buy, particularly now that the Internet makes listings for used books and other publications so widely available. There is a metasearch engine for some of the bigger ones: http://www.bookfinder.com/ I've been able to buy many publications I had assumed would be unavailable. > Is very frustrating to know that there is published > information out there that I want to read, that I am willing to pay for, but > cannot obtain because it is published in something like the Proceedings of > the Lower-Slobovian Ethnic Purity and Hand Washing Society, publication > numbers: 14. > I suppose; although I honestly haven't run into this problem. As implied above, I try to stay conversant with where to buy costume publications, both new and used. Sure, it takes a little effort; but not really all that much.

Most go through specific channels, often organized by regional or state libraries. Telling your librarian where a periodical is held *may* help, but then again, it may not. Your library will probably go through a certain protocol that will determine what library the request is made from. You can, of course, use a database like World Cat to find specific title, and give that to your library, but chances are all that will do is convince them the book exists. They'll still go through their own channels. Most academic libraries (which hold things like Waffen-und Kostumkunde) will xerox an article from their bound volumes (and occasionally will charge for it) in order to satisfy an ILL request. It is alway best to give your library as much information as possible, including page numbers if possible, to get such an article. If your public library can't/won't handle such things, try the nearest college/university library. Most are open to the public at least to some degree, and many issue cards to non-students. << So what solution do you suggest for times when the article exists, but unavailable?

There are a lot of articles I've seen references to for years, and still have not gotten hold of. But just because you want to read it, and are willing to pay, does not guarantee you will get it.

This is correct--most American machinery has been made to chop into small "cotton-sized" fibers whereas a lot of European and South American machinery can still process the longer fibers. I learned this recently at CSA talks given by a wonderful spinner/weaver Dale Liles who is also doing research on hemp linen. Another revelation--"linen" is the generic name for fibers made from (word I can't remember that means long woody/grassy type plants). A lot of cloth was made from hemp linen. Just thought I'd pass this on.

It was my job to wander the book and periodical stacks to get journals and books for ILL. I would get the books and journals and make copies of the requested materials. In general (large generalization here) the copies were sent to the requestor, who paid the copying price when s/he picked up the material. I could get almost anything by ILL, either the actual volume or a copy of the article - if I put the request in at the university library. BTW, the copies were not free. The county and city library system would only ILL book, not copies of articles. If your library doesn't have Ill services or can't get you copies, ask the librarians if they know of a library that does have that service. If that fails, I have been known to use the mom system. Find out if Penn state has it, call mom and ask her to get a copy of what ever it is the next time she is in the library or mom system 2 - ask mom who we know in x town, and see if they can get me a copy..... It often works. It helps to have a mom who was a librarian.

Probably regular clothing (although depending on the hospital, not in very good shape and perhaps not with all the usual parts like shirts or corsets.) There were restraint items (which the Public [mental] Hospital museum at Williamsburg shows, as well as what the cells from at least 2 different times.) Bethlem Hospital 1247-1997 by Patricia Allderidge (ISBN 1-86077-054-1) (which I got recently in London, I think at the Museum of London) shows some engravings and pictures of inmates in such hospitals (some from 1850 are actual photographs!).

Dear Lynn, I just happened to be at Exotic Silks in Palo Alto today and silk velvet looks remarkably similar to rayon velvet but the silk has a different hand to it. (BTW, it runs from $17-$25 per yard for 36" wide at ES) Personally, I would rather use cotton velveteen for my velvets because it is cheaper and is a *dream* to work with. It presses easily and doesn't fray nearly as badly as rayon velvet does. And it is so much easier to wash! Hope this helps!

I know the costumes for the queen were discussed here when the movie premiered, but I would like an opinion on the poncho worn by Qui-Gon Jinn on Tatooine, during the pod race. It looks like a regular poncho , e.g. a large triangle in some scenes, but there is a clear seam visible where a dropped shoulder would be. Is it two triangular pieces sewn onto the straight sides of a 5-sided polygon, point down, to form a large triangle when viewed flat? or is there another shape to it? I would like to copy it.

The article is particularly excited about the fact that the wet conditions had preserved the oak coffins, and even the brains within the skulls. In addition the wet conditions had preserved quite a bit of clothing from the period: "The waterlogged conditions at the site also preserved oak coffins and one of the finest collections of medieval everyday clothing yet found, including several complete tunics." {snip} "The most spectacular item of clothing found at the site was a complete leather `girdle' on a female skeleton (a belt looped round the waist with a long strap dangling to the ankles), a court fashion garment in the late 13th and early 14th centuries which has not previously been found in such good condition." Has anyone seen anything more about this excavation, or does anyone have any newer information, like what is happening with the conservation of the clothing and other articles?

This is entirely correct. >You can, of course, use a database like World Cat to find specific title, >and give that to your library, but chances are all that will do is convince >them the book exists. They'll still go through their own channels. If you use World Cat (a Firstsearch Database), do yourself a favor and make sure that you note not only the title, but the "accession number" listed on the record. That will save them time, and better guarantee that they will be able to find the record. Most public libraries have only a single person doing the ILL work, and of those, the vast majority are paraprofessionals who may not have a lot of time (or inclination) to do a lot of work searching for a specific item. >...your library as much information as possible, including page numbers if >possible, to get such an article. Correct. In fact, page and volume numbers for articles are pretty much a neccesity, since the libraries who receive the request may well not be inclined to do that searching for you. That sounds harsh, but it's true. >Yes, it can be very frustrating. There are a lot of articles I've seen >references to for years, and still have not gotten hold of. But just >because you want to read it, and are willing to pay, does not guarantee you >will get it. That's the nature of research. The best option in this case is the old fashioned one that researchers had to use long before ILL came about. Find the nearest library that holds the item and go there (or find someone who lives near there and will copy it for you). <"Franchesca Havas" > >How about this. I go back to my library and see if they can send you all the >articles?... This is a possibility. There are some problems if all the articles are in a specific issue, since there you run into copyright problems (It is against the law to copy and send an entire issue of a journal, for example). It is also against national ILL agreements for them to send them to materials to specific individuals who are not their patrons. However, if you can convince them to send the materials, then the other person can let their ILL people know that this arrangement has been made. This can (but may not always) make the process a bit easier. >If you have no success at you alls (can you tell I am from Texas) >end just let me know and I will get over to the library and see if this is >possible again. I think it is, they are very nice, and the most I think it >will cost you all is 1.00 or postage. You may be surprised at how much ILL actually costs. For example, for every article that is copied, copyright must be reported and paid for. That copyright is the responsibility of the library that requests the copy to pay for. And some publishers absolutely refuse to grant permission for their articles to be copied, period. In that case, technically you are violating copyright to even copy the article for your own use (although they are not likely to ever know). [What this means, btw, is that if you have a copy of an article, and you copy again it for someone else's research, you are violating copyright, and if caught can be fined] >I have been in contact with a publisher of some of the articles and am in >the process of convincing them to post the articles to >http://www.northernlight.com/barnesandnoble/search.html... Please do. If you are successful, that would make things much easier for everyone. >Or to give me permission to limited distribution at NO COST...

These requestors would have been invariably other libraries, not individuals. (Although it IS possible that the library you worked for was willing to sidestep the rules, although getting caught doing that would likely have gotten their ILL privileges suspended) As a warning, since the passage of recent copyright laws, and their interpretations, many libraries are becoming a LOT more cautious about photocopying articles, which is why some public libraries refuse to do it. Also, they may be reluctant to do so, since paying the royalties for the articles copied can get VERY expensive (just this last week, we ran our copyright report, and for about 30 articles, the total ran to about $500 -- some were free, some were VERY expensive).

They are doing the copying and distribution, not me not any of us, them, they are doing the copying and distribution. They charged me nothing at the time. That may have changed by now. If there is a charge if they are even willing to do it for others then they will pass it on to them. I will not charge for anything in this matter or photocopy it for mailing.

I saw some lovely pieces of multilevel late 16th century velvets at the V&A. Some had cut and uncut areas. Some had 2 or more levels of pile height. Some had brocaded areas. The important thing would be to have the closest hand you can get to what was there (so it hangs right) and a pattern which they might have had (anything from about late 15th through late 16th probably, since they often had older fabrics from their inventories or cut down larger gowns into smaller ones.)

It is fairly close -- but the body is more fitted than I would attribute to a houp, and the belt is at waist level. Sleeves and skirt are quite full, though. I think Darth Maul's outfit is probably quite similar; he also gets trousers, but has the knee-length skirt and huge sleeves. Makes for great swoopy motions. Guilty secret: The fluffy layered outfit that Amidala wears at the end -- the headress reminds me of a giant Pringle potato chip.

We're advanced enough that we need never have a slubby fabric, and we buy 'em anyway because we like 'em. Maybe a recent living history group recently visited the palace on Theed and inspired the Queen's tailors to "hearken back" to the old days, when fabric wasn't as finished. cv -- "Of the heads of mice being burned is made that excellent powder, for scouring and cleansing of the teeth called 'tooth-soape', unto which if spikenard [lavendar] be added or mingled, it will take away any filthy scent or stronge savour in the mouth." -- Edward Topsell's 'History of Four-Footed Beasts', 1607 _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sat Jun 12 10:34:11 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA31848 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 10:34:10 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA18663; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 10:16:22 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id JAA28920 for h-costume-outgoing; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 09:43:54 -0600 (MDT) Received: from proxy3.ba.best.com (root@proxy3.ba.best.com [206.184.139.14]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id JAA28914 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 09:43:52 -0600 (MDT) Received: from best.com (lavolta.vip.best.com [206.86.95.234]) by proxy3.ba.best.com (8.9.3/8.9.2/best.out) with ESMTP id IAA07390 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 08:43:09 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3762803B.4E8D7D46@best.com> Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 08:43:55 -0700 From: Lavolta Press Organization: Lavolta Press X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (WinNT; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: RE: ILL References: <001301beb49b$4a07ac60$ac350418@c59303-a.mckiny1.tx.home.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Lavolta Press > > > We are actually placing an order for one article out of one magazine. > > There are several articles but each comes from a different edition of the > same mag.

Below are some books that show extant pieces, and examples of velvet in portraits (and not for just elizabethan). There are just too many books to reference, so I'm just listing a few. If you'd like more suggestions, you can email me off list. "Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlocked" by Janet Arnold (mostly just for portrait examples) "Velvet History Techniques Fashions" edited by Fabrizio de Marinis, ISBN 88 7017 115 9 (europe) ISBN 0 9627985 1 7 (US) Lots of extant examples of fabrics. If you look closely at some portraits, the garments are made with the fabrics you see or the fabric resemble closely the pieces in the pictures. "Silk" by Jacques Anquentil ISBN 2 08013 616 X Has a little information on just velvet as it covers the use of silk in general, but I still suggest it to check out from your local library for looking at for velvet anyways. If you want to learn more about the weaving technique for velvet, "Handwoven" the September/October 1992 issue has articles about the weaving methods and equipments for the different kinds of velvet. Has a few pictures of extant pieces, but most are for later period. "Weavers" Issues 8 and 9 has some weaving draft patterns and interview of a velvet weaver. Some of this is overkill on the original question, but it may be helpful to have anyways.

I saw some lovely pieces of multilevel late 16th century velvets at the V&A. Some had cut and uncut areas. Some had 2 or more levels of pile height. Some had brocaded areas. The important thing would be to have the closest hand you can get to what was there (so it hangs right) and a pattern which they might have had (anything from about late 15th through late 16th probably, since they often had older fabrics from their inventories or cut down larger gowns into smaller ones.)

You can see it on the star wars website in the "tour Anakin's hovel" section. We have a piece of Moritanian "mud cloth" which is nearly identical to the pillow. It is likely goat-wool, and the mud is used as a dye. My guess is that you slather the wool with the mud and then use a tool to scrape some of the mud off before it dyes the fabric; certainly the designs on the stuff we have look free-hand. The designs are a dark cream color; the rest is brown-black. The process must be fairly color-fast, because there is no trace of actual mud on this textile, so it's been washed at least once. We haven't test-washed it, as we're not sure what to do with it, except keep it as a curiosity. cv _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sat Jun 12 12:35:49 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA01124 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 12:35:47 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA27619; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 12:19:39 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id LAA10960 for h-costume-outgoing; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 11:47:09 -0600 (MDT) Received: from deimos.worldonline.nl (deimos.worldonline.nl [195.241.48.136]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id LAA10951 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 11:47:05 -0600 (MDT) Received: from worldonline.nl (leda.worldonline.nl [195.241.48.135]) by deimos.worldonline.nl (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA13126 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 19:47:03 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from pc2 (vp181-38.worldonline.nl [195.241.181.38]) by worldonline.nl (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA08696 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 19:47:01 +0200 (MET DST) Message-Id: <199906121747.TAA08696@worldonline.nl> From: "Henk 't Jong" To: Subject: Re: H-COST: Re: Cotton Velvet Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 19:27:35 +0200 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Henk 't Jong" Henk & Pauline 't Jong tScapreel Medieval Advisors Dordrecht, Netherlands Hi, > > I am looking for reasonably priced cotton velvet to make > >Houpelandes.

Before you spend money on (cotton) velvet, don't forget that houppelandes for the most part were made of woollen broadcloth and lined with silk or furs and with linen for less affluent people. Silk velvet brocade was only worn by the very richest of princes. The normal velvet we know was hardly ever worn during the middle ages.

If you are actually working in the garden, a hat would fall off when you bend your head down to work with the plants,and any ribbons would fall and get in the way, plus would not give any coverage and sun protection on the face or back of the neck (assuming that as an adult, your hair would be worn up). Remember the ideal of the lily-white skin, especially if you are protraying someone of middle class or above (also a good chance to interpret this reverse-of-modern-day-fashion). If you are just doing an short stroll through the garden and maybe snipping off herbs that are growing several feet above the ground, that's a different matter. But for actually working the garden, you would be at an very casual "at-home" situation, presumably not expecting visitors, so no need to dress up. Sunbonnets have been worn well into this century all over the country for just such chores. Again, just my opinion.

I know it was used in Finland then. Renessanssin puku Suomessa (Renaissance Dress in Finland) by Riitta Pylkkanen shows three photos of "cut" velvet (probably woven that way, not really cut, I think): Dark red on yellow ground, red on red ground (though there is another unmentioned colour or the lightest red is rather pink) and red on natural coloured linen ground. I wonder whether red was extremely popular colour in such velvets or whether it's just a coincident. A brownish violet cut velvet is also mentioned. The book says import of silk fabrics to Finland was small, but the most popular silk fabrics were patterned velvet, silk damasks and brocades. Most imported fabrics in Finland in the end of 16th century and in the beginning or 17th century were imported through Sweden, so the origin of most fabrics is unknown. -- -------(c) 1999--------------* lynoure@tuug.org * Ella Lynoure Rajamaki--------* http://www.tuug.org/~lynoure * _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sat Jun 12 18:08:21 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id SAA06347 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 18:08:19 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA24488; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 17:51:45 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id RAA10788 for h-costume-outgoing; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 17:18:50 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp.interlog.com (root@smtp.interlog.com [207.34.202.37]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id RAA10777 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 17:18:47 -0600 (MDT) Received: from test (ip203-48.cc.interlog.com [207.34.203.48]) by smtp.interlog.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id TAA15838 for ; Sat, 12 Jun 1999 19:18:45 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19990612164019.0094dde0@mail.interlog.com> X-Sender: dnunn@mail.interlog.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 16:40:19 -0400 To: h-costume@indra.com From: Danielle Nunn Subject: Re: H-COST: Sculptured Velvet In-Reply-To: <447e6dac.24933fb8@aol.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Danielle Nunn Greetings, >Is cut velvet, or sculptured somehow, in any way period for Elizabethan >England?

After a few mistakes and a bit of practice it became quite easy but time consuming. To move things along a bit faster I then got acceptable but not perfect results from using a rotary electric razor; This was much quicker even with cleaning the razor out every few minutes; ( It was never any good for shaving with; ever again); So as not to waste time on parts that would not be used I made up the sleeves first and than shaved them on a very hard cutting board. They were buttoned down the front so it was easy to do this. I though I would share this if anyone is interest and may want to try it. Remember though two points; Dont get any thread or part of the base material near the razor . Have somebody else helping with a vacuum cleaner to pick up the cut bits; they tend to be electrosatic , stick to anything and attempt to choke you.

Someone was taking deeply carved wooden stamps, face up, and placing rayon velvet over the design. Then the design was steamed in with a steam iron, over a light presscloth, I think. Then a flat board was put on it for a few seconds until it cooled a bit. The result was an embossed flat, lustrous design in the velvet. Their designs were limited, nothing I cared about, and they were demonstrating using small pouches, so the design was only about 3.5" x 3.5". I wish I had paid more attention! Carving the stamp would be the hardest part!

The cream color is probably the color of the cloth before dyeing it; they seem to use a resist (like batik) technique with it as well as just painting or stamping the designs onto the cloth. (I have a piece of The Real Thang, woven in 5 or 6" wide strips and sewn together, in various shades of brown, tan, rust, cream etc. If the stuff you have is real, well... my 2 yards x around 50 (?) inches would go for around $50 out here, and that's just because it's pretty common with the high African American population here.

About velvet for renaissance use. Yes velvet is particular right to use for Elizabethan costumes. Velvet was a very expensive material in those days, and very popular. I made a dress with a spanish farthingale in velvet that i dyed myself and it went very good. I used Dylon colours and i dyed it in my bathtub 10 meters. It was a light cotton velvet especially made to use for dyeing.

The stuff I have was brought back from Moritania about 10 years ago by my bro-in-law, who was in the Peace Corps. As you mention, it was originally woven in strips about 6" wide, which were then sewn together edge-to-edge, and dyed as a single piece. Interestingly, there is a different design on two of the strips than there is on the rest. So, to drag this back to historical... do you know if this stuff has been made for a long time?

Re Paper Masks; yes I tried these but they blocked up fairly quickly but not quite as fast as my spectacles got covered up; I also tried the allover plastic face mask with changeable filters that I use for paint spraying and carving polystyrene ( another bitty job), but visibility soon became a problem on that. Its best to collect all of the free flying bits as soon as they are cut so the assistant need to keep the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner within an inch of where you are cutting/shaving. The nozzle gets covered quickly but it keeps it away from everything else. I cant remember the actual makeup of the velvet, perhaps there may be some where this isn't a problem; one day I might do some research; re Velvet in general; The City of Coventry was very likely producing producing velvet commercially during the time of the Black Prince, who may have promoted this amongst the clothiers of the city, part of which was within one of his manors. They were definitely experimenting with techniques ane equipment that could only produce a type of velvet. They were definitely producing it by the mid 1400s as there are many original sources and receipt books that mention it including (one of my favourite subjects this) a delivery of 6 yards of black velvet to one William Catesby who was supected of havig a hand in the death of the Princes in the Tower; Many years later two small bodies were found ;; guess what they were wrapped in? Re Heritage Matters; basically its a free subscription journal.We like to things its friendly.

I saw some of these at the V&A textile room. Interesting enough, they were all woolen velvets (none that I saw were silks done that way.) They also had some silk satins which were "stamped, slashed and abraided" however. These were quite lovely and looked like more advanced styles than the slashed ones in Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion 1560-1620. Kat Kat(June Russell) kat@grendal.rain.com Heu!

While she does carving of wood and other things, this was a store purchased stamp, a rose I believe. Perhaps something to be checked out at the local Hoibby Lobby or such places? I think that's where she got the idea to start with. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Jun 13 14:58:09 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA25758 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 14:58:07 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA25715; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 14:42:14 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id OAA27688 for h-costume-outgoing; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 14:08:07 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp4.erols.com (smtp4.erols.com [207.172.3.237]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id OAA27681 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 14:08:04 -0600 (MDT) From: trekona@erols.com Received: from erols.com (207-172-129-79.s79.tnt2.col.md.dialup.rcn.com [207.172.129.79]) by smtp4.erols.com (8.8.8/smtp-v1) with SMTP id QAA06290 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 16:08:01 -0400 (EDT) To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: Janet Arnold's Eliz. & Jacobian Shirt Article Date: Sun, 13 Jun 99 20:09:22 GMT Message-ID: References: <199906112059.OAA23583@indra.com> <3761834E.F912AB1B@best.com> X-Mailer: Quarterdeck Message Center [2.00] Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: trekona@erols.com > I have never been unable to get any publication I tried to interlibrary loan, > including foreign journals containing Janet Arnold's articles, and including > some very obscure and/or foreign publications. gee, all I can say is that you are lucky!

My local library down the road can't even ILL a book that is at a university in the same county (and I know they had the book I wanted)! So I went to a library near where I work in a different county who got it from a third county which is right near both. Why could one library get it while another could not? Well aside from comments about competence levels, my local library is in a county that gets very little funding compared to the second library which is in a wealthy neighborhood. But even they have not been able to get me a number of items I'm looking for. One time I managed to find out that a couple NESAT (Northern European Symposium on Archaelogical Textiles) editions are in the Harvard library. But, Harvard doesn't lend out to any other library, doesn't even like having to let their own students take a book out of the premises (had a friend going to harvard who told me stories about the libraries there) and won't allow anyone without a harvard card in! So just because some library has it somewhere, doesn't mean you can still borrow it. > It is also amazing what you can buy, particularly now that the Internet makes > listings for used books and other publications so widely available.

Another time it cost me $15 to borrow a Swedish costume book through ILL (it came from Minnesota, and I guess they didn't really want to lend it out). I'm trying to buy it, but I can't find anyone who carries it! Amazon doesn't, Bookfinder, Bibliofind.. none of them. Don't get me wrong, I think ILL is great, and I really appreciate the effort that some of the librarians there have gone to find me my obscure books. But there's still a lot that I can't get even that way. I wish I had your luck in getting them. -Judy Mitchell (frustrated book searcher) _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Jun 13 15:30:28 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA26294 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 15:30:26 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA28034; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 15:14:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id OAA01729 for h-costume-outgoing; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 14:40:22 -0600 (MDT) Received: from p2.acadia.net (root@p2.acadia.net [205.217.210.2]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id OAA01720 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 14:40:18 -0600 (MDT) Received: from [205.217.218.106] (ell29.acadia.net [205.217.218.13]) by p2.acadia.net (8.8.5/8.8.6) with SMTP id QAA01413 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 16:40:09 -0400 (EDT) X-Sender: pulliam@post.acadia.net Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 16:41:00 -0500 To: h-costume-digest@indra.com From: pulliam@acadia.net (Deborah Pulliam) Subject: H-COST: ILL Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: pulliam@acadia.net (Deborah Pulliam) <<> Any member of the public can obtain full library > privileges from them, including borrowing and interlibrary loan, for a very > reasonable fee--if I recall, $20 and it's good for a year. dunno which universities you've got handy but the ones around me that I go to want $60 year!>> To me, $60 a year seems reasonable for use of a university library if you have no other affiliation with the school (I know alumni at my college don't have to pay the $30 fee).

It is a not-very-glamorous state university, which in itself has a so-so costume book collection. They will do ILL; but it's so hard to park there I took to using a public library, which I discovered is just as good.. But, I'd think if you wanted to borrow obscure costume books and your nearby university could get them for you, $60/year would be well worth it. > B> It is also amazing what you can buy, particularly now that the Internet makes > > listings for used books and other publications so widely available.

Amazon doesn't, > Bookfinder, Bibliofind.. none of them. But you did find it to borrow . . . did you try Fred Struthers? He carries a lot of foreign costume books, and I think I've bought one or two Swedish books from him. Amazon.com focuses on books published or distributed in the US, which means they are not a great source for foreign books. Sometimes it takes a long time to find a book you want. I bought one a few months ago I've been looking everywhere for, for something like seven or eight years. I've lost count, but it's been a very long time. But, I eventually got it from an Internet used bookseller. I think the strategy is, when a new costume book comes out that you want, buy it. In a couple years it may be out of print, harder to find, and more expensive. If the book is already out of print, the strategy is to always be on the lookout for it. > I wish I had your luck > in getting them. > > It's not luck, at all, or even money. It's persistence. And patience. And staying aware of where to buy books, and their current prices. I figure I'm not entitled to something just because I want it; and also, if I find it, that I'm not entitled to get it easy or cheap. And I'm not entitled to pirate it just because it's hard to find or expensive. The author's right to be paid for his/her work supercedes my desire to get a good book cheap. And libraries and publishers deserve compensation too. Fran --------------------------------------------- Visit our web pages!

I haven't, because before Janet Arnold died various information and patterns from her articles was used in her non-anthology books. I'd assume this is also planned by her current publishers for her posthumous books. If I recall, for example, one of the journal articles is on ruffs and another has patterns for shirts and smocks. If those don't make it into the planned book on shirts, smocks, etc. I'd be very surprised. It takes a long time to publish a book, and Arnold's work was understandably slowed down by her illness. However, that doesn't mean nothing is being done with her already planned publications. > > > This would be especially useful for the _Waffen-und Kostumkunde_ articles.

How much do you spend on books every year? >Does it come close to $60? > ><> I suggest in both circumstances to look at public universities (e.g. the state systems). I got the distinct impression that one of the reasons Ohio State lets anyone use their library is because they're state funded, and see it as an obligation to the community. Borrowing priveleges there are $40 a year, or free if you join the alumni association (which is currently $35, and gets you more than just library priveleges.) I'm happy to pay it--it's cheap for what I get. However, this certainly isn't universal. The University of Toronto's main library won't let anyone without a borrowing card into the stacks even to look at books on-site, and that costs over $100. Luckily, U of T is also made up of affiliated colleges, each with their own library, who are a little more relaxed about admission. And the best dedicated medieval studies library in the world is there--a non-circulating library which requires a pass for admittance--or just a chat with the library folks to tell them what you want to look at.

I believe they do business under both names -- maybe one is the mailorder and one is the storefront. If so, it's actually in Los Altos :-) (And for those of you farther away, they have a website at .

As a psychologist, I have studied the history of my profession (and some of the stuff will curl your hair!) and I know that during most of the 18th century in Bedlam the mental patients wore whatever they were committed in and when that rotted off their bodies it generally wasn't replaced. That was one of the titillating aspects which caused Bedlam to be such a tourist attraction. At the point of time that you are talking about the American asylums were experimenting with a more 'enlightened' approach which called for a large degree of normalization. I don't think that Bedlam was on the normalization track so conditions were probably not materially different from the time of Hogarth who did prints of Bedlam in his series "A Rakes Progress". I hope this was helpful.

She did not have her sources immediately to hand, so I don't have them. She was, however, trained by someone who was invited by the Mongolian Republic to come there, study and teach others about their history and culture, which offer the other lady took. So, thank you for all the information--I may use it for Chinese attire, but will put ties on anything Mongolian that I may make. I also passed this info. to the lady on whose behalf I originally asked the question.

Sorry I must have missed that! I'm a psychiatric nurse here in Connecticut where the Institute of Living was the first Mental Hospital to be opened in the Colonies. I don't know when it opened it's doors, but it definately was around when during colonial times! >From day 1 it always advocated the humane approach to treating the patients, so for that reason, I would assume that they tried to dress the patients in as normal a style as possible, although I'm sure some of the clothes were far from the best for the poorer patients. Before the Intitute, the treatment of patients here in the Colonies vascillated between protecting the communites by locking the patients away in prisons and the like and throwing away the key, and protecting the patients' rights by various little residential programs that were set up but didn't last long. Don't know if this helps? Elysant As an aside. (Nothing to do with costuming, but interesting) I did my psychiatric training in Britain in an Asylum with a belfry. The reason for the belfry was that, as in the majority of the old asylums in Britain, whenever a patient ran away, the bell in the belfry would be rung to warn the staff as well as the people living in the surrounding area that one of the patients was on the loose. In some places, doing this set upset bats who who lived in the belfry, causing them to come flying out everywhere. This then is the origin of the saying "he's got bats in his belfry" when people sometimes describe a mental patient. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Jun 13 23:22:17 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id XAA01230 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 23:22:14 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA12765; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 23:05:49 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id WAA17886 for h-costume-outgoing; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 22:31:12 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail.radiks.net (mail.radiks.net [205.138.126.4]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id WAA17875 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 22:31:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dialup (56K-lnk-13.radiks.net [206.29.243.15]) by mail.radiks.net (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id XAA14380 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 23:30:45 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <3.0.3.32.19990613093120.008664e0@radiks.net> X-Sender: costumrs@radiks.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.3 (32) Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 09:31:20 -0500 To: h-costume-digest@indra.com From: Pierre & Sandy Pettinger Subject: H-COST: Star Wars In-Reply-To: <199906121543.JAA28935@indra.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Pierre & Sandy Pettinger >- -Poster: Margo Anderson > >I finally saw it, too.

Eastern State, here in Virginia opened it's doors as the "Public Hosipital" in 1773. The modern hospital is still operating, though it probably will not much longer. The original hospital however has been rebuilt by Colonial Williamsburg. There is a museum within that discusses the history of mental health in Virginia. I would reccommend looking into it. A warning however, it is not pleasent. As far as treatment of mental health prior to these hospitals. Here in Virginia at least there were no true prisons at all. The public gaol in Williamsburg did apparently house some criminally insane, but most mentally ill were simply kept at home. There are rumours of this regarding a wife of Patrick Henry.

Someplace (wish I could remember where) I read that in the 1850's women's legs swept out in a circular motion - to kick the full skirts out of their way. One of the male arguments to Bloomer costume was that women looked awkward walking in them because they did not swing their legs straight front to back as men did.

Well i know nothing about the walk in Elizabethan England, but i have participated in some danse lessons to learn renaissance danses. Karl Heinz Taubert, a german professor has written a book about historical danses called : "Höffiche Täntzer"
The renaissance danses are very lively and gay but also very slow and dignified where you have some very slow and gratios, ballet like movements. The curtis are also very elegant and slow.
The ladies had only their long chemise underneath the farthingale, mostly they did not wear trousers (only the curtisans) so they were very free to move underneath the hoop.
Etikette told them to be very gratious and elegant and not quickly in their movements.
It is a very exciting subject, i sure would have liked to be a fly on the wall in those days.
 

In the 18th. century Casanova writes how he catched his eyes on two ladies at Versailles who was forsed to escape (They were at a place where they didnt surposed to be) He writes that they grap their enourmous hoops in their arms, knealed forward and jumped like grasshoppers. Their fragile highhealed shoes was not built to run.

When i was at the W&A in London last month, there was some stage costumes exhibited for a Shakespeare play. The queens costume had a ruff very beautifull made.

That shows in the period miniatures (Persian, Indian) that I've seen: The del collar goes all the way to waist level on both sides, like a (real!) Japanese kimono. So they could just tie a sash around the waist like the Japanese obi. I don't think you need to *put* ties on a del (unless your friend says otherwise); you just use a belt or a long piece of silk as a sash. Does your friend happen to know (or have sources) about the cut and construction of the hat (looks like it has 2 brims) that both Ghengis and Kublai Khan wore in those two famous "head shot" portraits?

I think my point was that while using ILL is a fabulous tool that can be a great help, just going to your local library isn't necessarily going to get you squat if the library has no funds and can't even find it's own University books! it's just not always that easy. -Judy Mitchell _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 14 08:14:53 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA08779 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 08:14:52 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA19433; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 08:00:30 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id HAA09084 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 07:25:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: from scaup.prod.itd.earthlink.net (scaup.prod.itd.earthlink.net [207.217.120.49]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id HAA09069 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 07:25:05 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dsc (sdn-ar-001ohcoluP244.dialsprint.net [168.191.28.6]) by scaup.prod.itd.earthlink.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id GAA10823 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 06:25:03 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <001801beb669$d60f49a0$061cbfa8@dsc> From: "Susan Carroll-Clark" To: Subject: Re: H-COST: ILL Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 09:28:47 -0400 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 4.72.3155.0 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3155.0 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Susan Carroll-Clark" -Greetings! >In my case, borrowing privileges at the university library do *not* include >ILL privileges, those are reserved for staff and registered students.

Many books are co-published or co-distributed in both Britain and America, though. It is always cheaper, postage-wise, to buy from your home country. The foreign books that are harder to find in America are those published in languages other then English. I have found the German amazon site, but have not bought from them yet.

Yrsa http://discovery.com/lifestyles/homematters/990528craft.html Velvet Stamping Materials: Velvet fabric -- Must be silk, rayon, acetate-rayon, or any combination of these fibers. Rayon-acetate gives the most dramatic results. Avoid nylon, polyester or any washable velvets. Iron Mister bottle with water Big and bold Hot Potato fabric stamps http://www.hotpotatoes.com/ -- Little detailed stamps get lost in the plush velvet. Hot Potatoes stamps are made with a special glue that allows our stamps to take the heat process. Instructions: Lightly mist either side of the fabric. I prefer to mist the back side but it really does not matter. Place the stamp image, rubber-side up, on your ironing board. Lay fabric right-side down against the stamp image. Now press the iron to the fabric and DO NOT move it. Count to 20 and lift the iron carefully. You might want to press again for 10 seconds, just for good measure. A little trial and error will make you an expert. For example, you will want to use the part of your iron where here are no steam holes. If you have a problem with steam holes showing, you may want to use a Teflon pressing cloth. You will also find it best not to move the iron. Just hold it in one place. Everyone that sees this fabric will want to touch it. It can be used for pillows, clothing, drapes and more. And it holds up to dry cleaning! -- Craft demonstrated by Home Matters guest Mary O'Neil from Hot Potatoes. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 14 13:58:37 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA14563 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:58:36 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA14459; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:44:17 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id NAA26372 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:08:34 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail2.uts.ohio-state.edu (mail2.uts.ohio-state.edu [128.146.214.31]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id NAA26350 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:08:29 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mai040RS1.lib.ohio-state.edu (mai040rs1.lib.ohio-state.edu [128.146.115.31]) by mail2.uts.ohio-state.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with SMTP id PAA08570 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 15:08:28 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <3.0.3.32.19990614151151.006e7a80@pop.service.ohio-state.edu> X-Sender: mhamilto@pop.service.ohio-state.edu X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.3 (32) Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 15:11:51 -0400 To: h-costume@indra.com From: "Marsha J.

Studies in library literature show that the cost of lending a book through Inter-Library Loan is $30.00 to the lending institution in terms of costs and labor. VERY few libraries pass on the full or even partial cost to patrons. (The illusion of a "free" lunch.) >>I suggest in both circumstances to look at public universities (e.g. the >>state systems). I got the distinct impression that one of the reasons Ohio >>State lets anyone use their library is because they're state funded, and see >>it as an obligation to the community... The Ohio State University receives approx. 25% of its funding from the state of Ohio (most folks assume the percentage is much higher but it isn't.) The Libraries here have a tradition of flexible inter-library loan, mutual loan agreements with other institutions, and state-wide OhioLINK shared resources; not only because of our land-grant institution status but also because we have traditionally been at the forefront of resource sharing and automation of library holdings. Because it is a state-supported institution, everyone can walk into the Libraries and make use of materials on-site. Those who want borrowing privileges (and aren't associated with OSU) can pay a modest fee (c. $35.00) to become a Courtesy Card holder. On occasion, a lending library will refuse to loan a title if it is particularly expensive, rare, in fragile condition, non-circulating, or if the borrowing institution doesn't offer reciprocal ILL. And in general, public-supported institutions have fewer restrictions than private ones, but each library is different. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 14 13:59:12 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA14570 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:59:11 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA14541; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:44:52 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id NAA26512 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:09:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from eliz@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id NAA26449; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:08:58 -0600 (MDT) Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 13:08:58 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <199906141908.NAA26449@indra.com> From: leif drews To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Newbee Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: leif drews Hello i am a newbee to this list.

Hmmm, there are many, many references to velvet being used for clothing in the 14th century in _Fashion in the Age of the Black Prince_ by Stella Mary Newton as well as elsewhere. Obviously this was worn by the nobility and royalty, but it was quite popular. There are pouches from this century that were embroidered velvet and there is even a lovely Masters head band enbroidered on tawny velvet (wish I could find that color!) In the wardrobe inventories mentioned above velvet was used for every item of a full suite of clothing from hoods to tunics to mantles. I have seen more extant pieces of plain/normal velvet than of brocaded or embossed velvet. Some of the suites consister or 5-7 different grments all in the same color of velvet. I don't know about the original poster, but if she plays in the SCA, her wearing velvet (we're all assumed to be nobility in the SCA although some folks opt for middle/lower class for tourney season) would be most appropriate imho. And yes, I would make a houppeland out of wool (I have actually). I would use velvet for Italian Rennaisance, Elizabethan, and 14th century gothic for sure, no problem. -- Cynthia Long Merouda the True of Bornover Barony of Madrone Kingdom of An Tir _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 14 14:59:35 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA15577 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 14:59:34 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA23918; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 14:45:28 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id OAA13147 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 14:09:39 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail.airmail.net (mail.airmail.net [206.66.12.40]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with SMTP id OAA13093 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 14:09:31 -0600 (MDT) Received: from airmail.net from [207.136.20.156] by mail.airmail.net (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.16 #30.402) with esmtp for sender: id ; Mon, 14 Jun 99 15:09:29 -0500 (CDT) Message-ID: <37655EDD.9FD2F641@airmail.net> Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 14:58:22 -0500 From: Megan & David Schmidt X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: early tudor fakings Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Megan & David Schmidt Would an early Turdor dress have had sleeve and underskirt fakings for reasons of cost, or comfort?

I don't wear early Tudor, but I do wear Elizabethan on a regular basis and once you get used to wearing all the stuff, it doesn't feel nearly as cumbersome as you might think. Your body adjusts. And it can also give some great insight as to why certain things were done or not done in period, the clothing can make certain actions or movements either more beautiful or very clumsy.

I noticed today, as I approached a glass door, that I walk and stand with my anklebones nearly touching, despite being, er, rubenesque.

For the benefit of those readers who don't have ready access to Digby: This makes more sense if you think of it as it is described in the text, not a "headband" but a "Master's Crown." (Plate 11, described p. 75). It is a crown of what looks to me a good 1 1/2" to 2" in height, with no projections. According to the book, at the time it was written (1963) the crowns of the Carpenters, Girdlers, Broderers, and Parish Clerks guilds were still in use for guild ceremonies. The crowns were "used for crowning the masters at ceremonies of the Courts of the Livery Companies of London." The pictured crown dates from the late 16th century, and belongs to the Broderer's guild. It is velvet embroidered in silver & gold thread, colored silk, and pearls. Cynthia, please try to remember where you saw the color picture! I bought _Art of Dress_ on the strength alone of the color picture of the purple sweet bag shown in Digby in b&w. --Katharine Whisler _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 14 21:54:41 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA22548 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:54:40 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA22301; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:39:52 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id VAA14128 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:03:40 -0600 (MDT) Received: from dgs.dgsys.com (robin@dgs.dgsys.com [204.97.64.1]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id VAA14110 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:03:36 -0600 (MDT) Received: from localhost (robin@localhost) by dgs.dgsys.com (8.8.7/8.7.3) with SMTP id XAA23615 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 23:03:23 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: dgs.dgsys.com: robin owned process doing -bs Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 23:03:23 -0400 (EDT) From: Robin Netherton To: "'h-costume@indra.com'" Subject: H-COST: Publication of Kalamazoo papers (was: Janet Arnold's Eliz. & Jacobian Shirt Article) In-Reply-To: <199906112059.OAA23583@indra.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Robin Netherton On Fri, 11 Jun 1999, 6hbn-sec wrote: > I read with interest Robin Netherton's messages > about the Conference in Kalamazoo, and was disappointed (not surprised or > angry) to learn that these very interesting presentations will probably not > be available to most of the non-academics among us because they are awaiting > publication somewhere(unless Robin and the others tell us where they are > being published, and how to get them). Sigh. Don't I wish I had copies of all the papers I've heard at K'zoo over the last 15 years that had some costume references in them. Sometimes you can request a copy of the paper from the presenter, but most of the time it's lost forever, unless you take notes. My own "papers" are actually in lecture format and not suitable for distribution; the summary I posted to the list of this year's talk was the closest that bit of research has ever come to written form, and that may be the closest it ever gets. However... my colleague Gale Owen-Crocker, who is in a much better position to put together publications than I am (and who, as a university professor, is expected to do so), has edited a collection of 15 costume papers that have been presented at K'zoo over the last few years -- that's not all of them, but it's a goodly number. We have it the manuscript out to a publisher for review right now. Cross your fingers that they agree to publish it. If so, I'll let you know when it comes out, and how to get it. In any case, publication will take a while; although all the text is written, we still have to do things like get permissions for illustrations. That will be a pricey proposition for me, as I don't have a university to subsidize costs like that, so I must pay out of my own pocket for the various pictures I really need to include with my two articles. As a professional journalist, I've seen photo permissions run as much as $200 each routinely, so the cost can become prohibitive unless I can get a better rate because this would be a limited-run scholarly publication. If I can't get affordable permissions, or if I can't get access to specific images (some of the pictures I need are from manuscripts in foreign libraries), I will have to redraw some of them. I know redrawings are inferior, but it's better than nothing at all. --Robin _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Jun 15 06:24:04 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA29865 for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 06:24:03 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id GAA26715; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 06:10:50 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id FAA21477 for h-costume-outgoing; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 05:34:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: from RBAD33.RBACRXCLU.BAS.ROCHE.COM (mail-external-basel.bas.roche.com [196.3.50.190]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id FAA21470 for ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 05:34:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: from rbamsemcn1.bas.roche.com (rbamsemcn1.bas.roche.com [145.245.211.139]) by Roche.COM (PMDF V5.2-31 #33472) with ESMTP id <01JCFIYO9LFE9EKHML@Roche.COM> for h-costume@indra.com; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 13:31:58 +0200 Received: by rbamsemcn1.bas.roche.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Tue, 15 Jun 1999 13:31:55 +0200 Content-return: allowed Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 13:31:52 +0200 From: "Holliday, Rachel {DISC~Welwyn}" Subject: RE: H-COST: Re: long linen fibers To: "'h-costume@indra.com'" Message-id: <431EB483DFB4D111A2D50000F843C5C401009D98@RWEMSEM2> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Holliday, Rachel {DISC~Welwyn}" > Another revelation--"linen" is the > generic name for fibers made from (word I can't >remember that means long > woody/grassy type plants).

I don't think that everyone really can understand the process until they've seen it or heard it described. I work with scientists who try to put out papers every couple of months on their research. At least for them, most of the illustrations are their own so there's no huge charge for them, and there are a huge variety of scientific journals where they can have their work published, rather than only the handful of scholarly journals for our topics. But the process in science does often take three months or more, between reviewers, rewrites and the simple problem of making sure that the proofs are correct in spelling and the correct label goes to the correct figure. Plus there are page charges - per page - plus extra payment for any color illustrations. This isn't exactly the same as publishing the lectures or manuscripts in historic topics, but quite similar. Again, thanks for explaining it.

I'd like to say thanks everybody for all of the great info presented here daily. A lot of it has really changed my perceptions and appreciation for all that bookwriters and publishers do. And, I really appreciate the documentation and resource links to get the things that I need to make my garb both correct and "finished". I have a question that I hope that you can help me with. My medieval group does a much earlier time period, and we have several Viking personas. With the weather getting *hotter* every day, the question has come up about sleeveless tunics for the men. I have many good books on Vikings, and haven't been able to find any documentation to allow this. Does anyone know if this is a documented style? I can't find where it was done at all past the Romans and the Celts. I welcome your thoughts, please.

Sounds a lot like the conditions under which the graveyard of the Minorite Friary in Dordrecht was excavated in the early 80's. There were corpses complete with coffins and brains and hair too.

It isn't the closed doublet, but the open-necked style. I also try to keep myself pushed down rather than up. I don't think I look TOO bad in the doublet. The only reason I didn't answer your original question is that a professional costumer draped my doublet for me, so I'm clueless. There are no darts at the shoulder and it is not princess-seamed. All the fitting is in the seam where the facing and the body of the doublet meet. I hope this helps a bit.

I am also well endowed so I don't believe that this is your problem. Have you modeled your pattern after the Janet Arnold patterns for this style? On the front of the bodice it comes out (the center front is not a straight line) a bit where your breasts should be slightly swelling out of your corset. That is my first guess as to what may be wrong with your pattern.

Andrea >> In Jean Hunnisett's book she puts a horizontal dart at the level of the top of the corset....keeping the CF on the straight of grain below the dart, which throws it off grain from that point up to the neck. This enables you to fit the upper part smoothly. HOWEVER...I always associate this with 18th century dress making....for riding coats & the like. You can see it use for an 18th riding habit in Janet Arnold's book. For an Elizabethan solution I would look to Janet Arnold again. In her book there are jackets with curved CFs. Starting at the neck they curve out to accommodate the bust & then curve back in at the waist. This works because the corset should be compressing & pushing the breast down [just like you mentioned]....as opposed to an 18th century corset which lifts & pushes the breasts forward. The compressed breast will enable a shallower CF curve that will smooth out over the corset & the upper chest area to a snug neck. Also, a little ease at the forefront of the curve helps....not enough to see mind you. It's best with a curved CF not to let it overlap too much. Usually I believe the CFs butt up next to each other, a separate straight strip is attached to one side [we'll say the Right as a bodice like this would close like a man's garment left over right, in this period] ....attached to the right side as an underlap for the buttons to go on. The button holes on the left side are then placed very very close to the CF edge. When buttoned up, the buttons end up a little left of center, but that's that period look! Line the doublet bodice with something sturdy but supple, like denim or medium weight twill. Also seen in Janet Arnold is boning in the front pieces of the doublet bodice. 4 or 5 bones fan out from the CF point on either side. The longest [to about bust point level] are close to the CF [either side of the opening] & they get shorter as they fan out.

Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Steve & Michelle Plumb" London fish tank reveals everyday life of Tudors BY DALYA ALBERGE, ARTS CORRESPONDENT THE discovery of a huge Tudor rubbish dump is giving historians their best insights yet into the lives of the Londoners of the day. Archaeologists from the Museum of London have unearthed thousands of objects dating from the 1480s to the early 1600s at a two-acre site around Tooley Street, on the south side of Tower Bridge. Shoes and spoons, toys and tools offer rare glimpses into the lifestyles of all strata of society. Objects considered too insignificant to have been recorded in documents or paintings now reveal what Tudor Londoners ate, what they threw away, how they dressed and how they played. Until the site was found, relatively little archaeological evidence had been discovered. "What we've found has proved we didn't know half as much as we thought," said Simon Thurley, the museum's director. Among more than 400 leather shoes are some that are perfectly preserved and as modern in design as anything for sale today in Knightsbridge. A pair of stylish black suede shoes with leather laces and an elegant buckle might have been made yesterday. To judge from some of the styles, Tudor Londoners were prepared to suffer for fashion: one pair of shoes stuffed with moss to stiffen the curled point would have been less than comfortable. Dr Thurley said that never before had so many Tudor objects been found together in such closely dateable deposits and in such a fine state of preservation. The dump was discovered during excavations for a new hotel complex two months ago. Its contents were preserved in the waterlogged remains of a Tudor fish farm in an area that was, from medieval times, home to the wealthy and influential. The objects were thrown into the disused fish tanks about 1560, when the property, known then as the Pike Garden, was sold. Others were thrown into a nearby sewer that was closed in 1610. Dave Saxby, an archaeologist with the museum who is supervising the search for artefacts, said: "If you excavate any site in London, you're lucky to get one shoe or one knife. The majority have broken bits of pottery and animal bone. Here they are in mint condition, like the day they were thrown in." The finds portray all levels of society on London's South Bank, from the wealthy with their padded armour to the poor with their worn pewter spoons. Pottery tankards and a bottle in a wicker basket point to the taverns for which Southwark was famous. Many of the pots were imported and a piece of Chinese porcelain is the earliest example found in London. Also extracted from the detritus was a delicate comb, which has a circular indentation that may have held a mirror. Vessels such as a huge copper cauldron in which people would have cooked are almost intact. Other discoveries include rare armour; perfectly preserved tools, including a sickle, spade and shovel; and a musical instrument thought to be a bagpipe. There is also a dagger; part of a saddle; an intricate leather fringe that may be from a belt; children's toys, including a whistle; a wooden bowls ball; part of a window shutter; and, of course, the banana. Taryn Nixon, the head of the museum's archaeolgical services department, said that the objects conjure up "thriving industries of Tudor Southwark . . . people going in and out of the ale-houses, the leather workers taking orders from the finely turned out gentleman with his metal outer corset, and perhaps even someone turning up their nose at the thought that this curious soft, yellow food - well, no, probably quite black and rotten - was to be eaten."

Think of it from Harvard's point of view... they've spent the last 300 yrs accumulating a collection for their faculty and students -- it's not their fault if they have the only copy in the US of so many things! I work in a public library, and our ILL staff see it as self-preservation, when Harvard, U of Washington (Seattle) and the other really big guys charge $20 for an ILL -- they just want to make sure their stuff is occasionally on campus for their primary customers! On the other hand, it CAN be very frustrating trying to break into the ivory ghetto! You should hear my husband roar about all the stuff in his field that you see faint hints of, but haven't been published in the last 100 years, the professor can hand down the work to his 2-3 grad students, and no-one else in the world may ever see it outside of that incestuous little tiny circle! Real medieval guild masters and their secrets can't begin to compare!

I think your folk would find a light-weight linen (or cotton) regular tunic more comfortable or as comfortable, as a lot of bare skin sticking to itself in the heat. The fabric shades the skin from the direct sun; natural fibers will help wick persperation away from the skin (cooling), etc. Gerek usually wears one of his 100% cotton (egyptian, indigo-dyed) tunics (#3, Cut my Cote) when it's hot (Western Oregon, can be 85-100 and 90%+ humidity, not often, but it happens). For real heat, he'd like to have linen, or very light wool, like challis?

I'm > thinking of using rubber stamping for this purpose but the thought of > whether they might have used wood blocks came to me. > Some thoughts ; Wood that is easy to carve is also by its nature, except for the really exotic woods that we have discivered from the New World, that is, easy to burn . I would image that the heat of the iron would cause the wood to burn or at least quickly become brittle and unusable, as well as scorching/marking . If this process was done of old I think we may have seen some metal covered blocks; whereas I know of some examples of thin metal being used for patterns esp footwear, I cannot recall any such blocks; although I stand to be corrected. Remember that the block system works well with velvet containing rayon.because of the later shrinks laterally and curls when heat is applied. and this quickly with moist heat that does not build up enough to effect the organic or natural elements in the carrier material. Period velvet with the strands already weakened by the teasing process would respond differently; most probably just shriveled in the direction of its original twist., if it didnt char. I would not like to attempt this process with a non steam iron, particularly a period one that had been heated on an open fire.especially on an expensive fabric; I dont think fabric workers of any period would want to try this. The embossing that is definitely period is on leather; There are various processes depending on the type of leather. Metal stamping; Wet embossing Tooling and carving branding reverse printing ( The leather is laid over a reversed decorated mould like a printers platen and the back is pummeled with a leather soc full of sand) mainly a Roman process not much used in med times except by some armourers; Those are my thoughts , but my suggestions is to try anything and hope that it doesnt waste too much; Dave _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 16 09:12:21 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA23438 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 09:12:21 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA14112; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 08:22:26 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id IAA26585 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 08:22:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp2.erols.com (smtp2.erols.com [207.172.3.235]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id IAA26535 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 08:21:57 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pavilion (209-122-229-223.s604.tnt6.lnh.md.dialup.rcn.com [209.122.229.223]) by smtp2.erols.com (8.8.8/8.8.5) with SMTP id KAA25473 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:25:29 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <007c01beb804$8dd24420$dfe57ad1@pavilion> From: "Andrea Gideon" To: References: Subject: Re: H-COST: women's elizabethan doublets Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 10:28:48 -0400 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 5.00.2314.1300 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Andrea Gideon" > For an Elizabethan solution I would look to Janet Arnold again.

While trying to fit my pattern I noticed that my corset was causing tremendous pain to my lower back. This was the first time I've worn it since having my baby and never had pain before I was pregnant. Do this mean that it no longer fits properly? I loosened it up and that really had no effect.

When I had my babies everything, breasts, hips, and stomach, dropped six inches ( which I actually appreciated since I've always been very high waisted) and none of my corsets or fitted bodices fit anymore. It might be, though, that you've just gotten used to standing in a different way (that belly out pregnant lady stance). Maybe being very conscious of posture would help. Congratulations on the baby! It's worth having to make a new corset, isn't it?

(I should have asked for the drugs-- natural childbirth isn't what it's cracked up to be, esp. after 16 hrs. of back labor.) I had lower back trouble for several years and back pain from constricting clothes. I can't wear any of the previous costumes. I had to cut new items with a shorter bodice to keep all pressure off the lower vertebrae. (Perfect for that Cavalier silhouette.) Also the weight of an extremely heavy skirt can be hard on the lower back. You may need to alter your costumes for a few years until you build back the strength in the muscles. Truthfully, sometimes you never fully recover. Childbirth is very traumatic to the body. I never really understood the situation of pre-20th century women before the baby. The weight of the clothes, the difficulty of working, the permanent toll on your body, the sheer number of clothing changes and washings a baby requires. Makes ya kinda wonder how women did it in a WHOLE new way! --------------------------------------- At 11:55 AM 6/16/99 -0400, you wrote: > >No, the bones are just fine. It's not that kind of pain.

That's probably what happened to me. I had back labor for 3 days before I gave in to the suggestion of Pitocin, and therefore the epidural. I've heard some women have back problems caused by the epidural.

Do you suppose that, in a few hundred years, people will get wildly excited when they discover a land fill site with unusually good preservative conditions? I wonder how the Tudors would have felt, knowing that future generations would be ecstatic about finding their garbage.

On the last this was done by embroidering small abstract or figurative thingies with coloured silk or metal thread. Or the objects were stamped or cut out metal stars, circles or other forms of bronze, brass, tin, silver or gold. These could also be mixed with embroidered elements and even with small pearls or glass beads. Stella Mary Newton Fashion in the Age of the Black Prince has examples of the stamped ornaments and the dies in which they were pressed or cast. These were only used on the ceremonial garments of the super rich and high nobility and mainly worn at court occasions.

A great source of everyday clothing...when you can find an adult. Also non-fashion mags of the period like Time or "home maker" types are good. You'll have to run to the local library.

YOu may have had some changes in muscle tone, fat placement etc because of the baby. You may also be experiencing some minor spinal compression because things have moved around. I would reccomend seeing a chiropractor or a conventional orthopaedist who handles back injuries, as you may simply need a course of exercises to help restore the former strength. Swimming helps some back issues, and you can do this with your wee ones. My chiropractor recommended bicycling, situps and some odd yoga-like crunches that I can't even begin to describe here. He also told me that I would really want to get into very good shape before going the route of becoming a mother, to prevent over-painful labor and more back problems. BTW, I haven't had the joy of having a baby, I just have the luck to have fat patterns that aggravate a sway back. Combined with a change in my activity (from an active job to a stationary job) this created a back problem that sounds very similar to yours. I wish you luck, you have my sympathies!

A lot of cloth was made from hemp linen. Hmm, the way I've seen it in several places was a little different -- that early researchers couldn't tell the difference between the various bast fibers (or didn't bother to analyze them enough to tell), and so things got labelled "linen" (meaning flax) that were really some other bast fiber. According to Agnes Geijer (a textile historian), you need a microscope to tell the difference between them. >The generic word you are searching for is "bast"; bast fibers are those from >the stems (including inner barks).

Seems I have one in the yard of my new house (Yes! I >> bought a HOUSE!) and I'd like to know if I can do anything >> nifty with it. I'm by no means an expert on this subject, but I'll add what little I know. Linen comes from flax. Ramie comes from nettle. Canvas (from the name cannabis) came from hemp originally, but now it's cotton or a combination with any bast fibers. To add to the confusion, there are other fibers labeled as hemp. Manila hemp, originally used for paper and envelopes (sound familiar?), comes from the bast fibers of abaca, a banana plant (Musa textilis). Sisal hemp, used for rope and twine, comes from the bast fibers of a West Indian agave (Agave sisalana). The century plant is a Mexican agave (Agave americana), so I imagine that you could try using its bast fibers for making rough cordage, macrame or other such things.

I think it can have the same drawbacks as spinal taps, if the needle is in the spine & hits something or causes swelling or gets fluid in the wrong place, it can cause persisting back pain. Sounds like a trip to the doctor may be in order? Take care of yourself. Being a mom is tough--it's easy to re-strain muscles with all the lifting and carrying, you're probably not sleeping much (which intensifies pain and slows healing), and your body takes a massive loss in calcium, vitamins, etc. in pregnancy and nursing. How DID women do it back then ? !!!! _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 16 17:58:54 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA32759 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 17:58:53 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA02905; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 17:05:23 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id RAA17910 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 17:03:19 -0600 (MDT) Received: from zeus.directcon.net (root@zeus.directcon.net [206.170.184.2]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id RAA17892 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 17:03:14 -0600 (MDT) Received: from DNYEAQVF (r4p2.directcon.net [206.170.184.51]) by zeus.directcon.net (8.8.8/8.7.3) with SMTP id QAA01091 for ; Wed, 16 Jun 1999 16:03:08 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 16:03:08 -0700 (PDT) Message-Id: <199906162303.QAA01091@zeus.directcon.net> X-Sender: margo@directcon.net X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 1.5.2 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: h-costume@indra.com From: Margo Anderson Subject: H-COST: Corsets, childbirth, and back problems Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Margo Anderson I had tornmuscles and nerve damage from a back injury sustained when I was being rushed back into surgery due to a bleed out after a C-Section. As I recall, they tossed me onto the operating table so fast I bounced. Well, I was minutes away from death, so I forgive them. The torn muscles eventually repaired themselves, but the nerve damage resulted in a fairly constant itching sensation at one small spot on my back, that finally tapered off after about two years...until recently, when I made myself a corset. Now, the itching is back. I've been wearing the corset maybe once a week or so, and it's not uncomfortable when I wear it, but I'm pretty sure it's the culprit, that being the only thing that's changed. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have a solution? I have a checkup sceduled, but I know my doctor's response to "It itches now that I'm wearing corsets again" is going to be "then don't wear corsets." Silly man. Oh yes, all my medical budget is going to the dentist right now, so chiropractors, while lovely, aren't really an option either.

I just moved (I have a sewing room now!) so none of my books are handy but, have you tried Ceninni (sp?). Unfortunately, I can't remember the title of the book either. Ceninni was a 14th or 15th century Italian artisan who wrote a book on how to ... various arts. One of the things he talks about is "gilding velvet". The book is very interesting. ;) It has a yellow cover, is fairly small, and is put out by Dover.

There is an additional problem in dealing with medieval textiles, which is that, in medieval England at least, the distinction between flaxen cloth and hempen cloth is not exactly parallel to the distinction between linen and canvas. That is, "linen" ('linum' or 'tela linea' in Latin) might easily be made from hemp. 'Canabum' was made from hemp, but was most often what we would today call 'linen' fabric; perhaps of a coarser grade, but not necessarily. Canvas, which was sold in England, was not made in England until the sixteenth century, and in medieval times, though it might be referred to as 'canabo', it might also be called by the name of the area in France from which it came (mostly towns in Normandy and Brittany). In case this is not sufficiently confusing, there is also a grade of cloth called 'harden,' made from the remains left over after the good stuff was hackled and beaten (see the OED on this one). I have references on this stuff if anyone is interested.

In general, in western Europe, that meant it was either flax or hemp (ramie wasn't readible available), but people didn't care, and what the actual fiber was wasn't an issue. <> If you have an individual fiber, you only need a magnifying glass (or very sharp eyes.) Wet one fiber and hold one end firmly against a surface. As the fiber dries, it will twist. If it twists in a clockwise direction, the fiber is flax. If it twists in counter-clockwise direction, it is hemp. The opposite of this test is to wet a dry fiber and watch it twist as it wets; the twist will be the opposite to drying. The basis for this test is the direction that external fibrillae lie along the axis of the fiber.

I'd like to say thanks everybody for all of the great info presented here daily. A lot of it has really changed my perceptions and appreciation for all that bookwriters and publishers do. And, I really appreciate the documentation and resource links to get the things that I need to make my garb both correct and "finished". I have a question that I hope that you can help me with. My medieval group does a much earlier time period, and we have several Viking personas. With the weather getting *hotter* every day, the question has come up about sleeveless tunics for the men. I have many good books on Vikings, and haven't been able to find any documentation to allow this. Does anyone know if this is a documented style? I can't find where it was done at all past the Romans and the Celts. I welcome your thoughts, please.

I was excited by the wealth of pictures, and didn't notice some problems right away. Mostly, these are obvious editing errors. It looks as if the book was rushed to press. I wanted to take the time to evaluate the book thouroughly before issuing a review, so I took the time to read it and re-read it. Here are my thoughts on this book. Overall, a good book for those who are mostly experienced in modern dressmaking. Gives illustrated, well explained instructions for using a modern fitting block as a basis for fitting period corsets to modern bodies. There are some problems that could very well have something to do with an apparent lack of proofreading, which is fairly typical for small press books in their first edition. It does concentrate mostly on the 19th and early 20th century corsetry, with some decent coverage of earlier corsets, and wonderful (but short!) sections on New-Look corsetry and mens corsetry. Lots of pictures of original peices, original adverts, some redrawings and patterns worked out from original sources and redrawn from Waugh. Some of the original pieces are shown on dress stands that they *clearly* don't fit, so the views of uneven lacing gaps are to be taken with a grain of salt. An important errata note: p140 gives a pattern from Waugh that is described as being an 1860's corset. It isn't. It *is* a turn of the century 's curve' style corset, the date given in Waugh for the piece the pattern was drawn from is 1902. The making up text describes this as an 1890's corset, whic is also just barely true. Corsets of this style were beginning to be made in the very late 1890's. Other than this, and some basic wordprocessing-program-spell-and-grammar-checker issues (some of which are rather silly, but obviously not the fault of the author), I would say it's a worthwhile addition to the library of anyone who is seriously interested in making corsets.

Restorative Iyanger is excellent for back pain. I herniated a disc in my lumbar region which pressed against my sciatic nerve, deadening part of my right leg. That was 8 mos ago. Now I teach yoga at the Y. There as several excellent books as well, but, there is no substitute for a good, trained caring teacher. We have many people in class over 60 with back problems as well who are doing wonderfully. It really helps regain your range of motion, especially if you sit at the computer or sewing machine alot, (like me).

Actually, I've read that flax is usually spun in a particular direction (I forget whether it's S or Z) because of that characteristic twist (e.g. so it doesn't untwist when you wash it and dry it!). I'd think that hemp would therefore usually be spun in the opposite direction. And that should be clear even in a centuries-old piece of fabric... >Deborah > Lynn ---- Lynn Meyer, Mountain View, Bay Area, CA (Halima de la Lucha, Crosston, Mists, West) LMeyer@netbox.com _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 17 17:18:34 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA21977 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 17:18:33 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA02449; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:29:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id QAA09185 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:28:55 -0600 (MDT) Received: from eagle.sac.verio.net (root@eagle.sac.verio.net [207.159.5.20]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id QAA09157 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:28:50 -0600 (MDT) Received: from [207.159.15.108] (pm03-42.rose.sac.verio.net [207.159.15.108]) by eagle.sac.verio.net (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id PAA16238 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 15:28:44 -0700 (PDT) X-Sender: kworley@mail.ns.net Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <199906171723.LAA05586@indra.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 15:26:31 -0700 To: h-costume-digest@indra.com From: Katrina Worley Subject: H-COST: Re: h-costume-digest V4 #382 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Katrina Worley Re: nettles and retting in water... DON'T! The bast fiber in the nettle or milkweed will rot right along with the stems. The fibers are seperated out by hand from the stalk of the "field retted" plant (you let the plant weather in the field for the first couple of rains in the fall). You also can't put the fibers through the hackling and combing processes that you use for flax or hemp. Think about the fairy tale of the Swan Brothers... the little sister crushed the nettles with her feet and separated the fibers with her hands. This is part of why flax and hemp would have been cultivated when milkweed and nettles are growing wild and free for the taking. Even though growing them is more work, the fact that you can process them with tools makes them more efficient in the long run.

I'm ignorant of exactly what you do and what the norm is in academia, so I'm going to ask a question that may seem rude. If the research and knowledge you and your fellow conference goers (evidently over 15 years) present simply disappears after you are through with the presentation, what good is it? You of course have learned a great deal, but if it isn't passed on it means the next person interested in the same subject (if they don't know you, or the other presenters) must start from the beginning, re-inventing the wheel as it were. If the point of the Kalamazoo exercise is to add to the store of human knowledge, it sounds as though it's not accomplishing its purpose. I think one reason I have a problem understanding why research materials are not readily available is because I live with a couple of tech kids who work for Intel, and come home and tell me that whole libraries are being put on-line, and on CD's (in fact I've been ordering CD books Octavo that may see the light of day once in ten years, if then). The local bookseller, Mike Powell sees no reason why any book should ever be out of print, all it requires is for the publisher to have it on CD and upon request transmit it to his site, which will soon have highspeed printers linked to binders. The customer could order a title, it would be transmitted, printed, and bound ready for pickup the next day. I realize that libraries aren't "free" every time I vote for a bond issue (my property taxes are up over $1800 a year and climbing). Never-the-less, in a more perfect world those that hold fragile or one-of-a-kind things should be scanning them and distributing them on CD or some other medium as quickly as possible. There is no reason for fire, flood, mishandling, or theft should destroy the patrimony of the whole human race. The Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco is trying to get good quality reproductions of their collections out for this very reason. They live in earthquake country, and realize that everything could be lost forever in the shift of a moment. Wanda, dreamer "Keyboard! How quaint!" P.S. Robin, you might keep the list abreast of what the costs for the photo permissions will be.

These books were originally published around 1900. They were illustrated by H. J. Ford. One of the things that I always liked about them, and probably one of the things that spurred my interest in the SCA, was the beautiful dresses the princesses and heroines are wearing in the illustrations. Does anyone else have these books, who can help me identify what inspired H. J. Ford? What time period, countries, and so on, dresses like this might have come from? Or were they entirely out of his (her?) imagination? If so, I think I want to go buy my clothes there!

I've been lurking for almost a whole year here--my my it's a busy list, isn't it! Just wanted to let everyone know about a new line of silk thread/floss. This is just an FYI, I'm not trying to sell it to anyone (I can't, as I'm the manufacturer, anyway). For more information (for your favorite shop to stock it, if they wish) check out the homepage: http://www.eternasilk.com The reds are not colorfast if you wash them in hot water with detergent, but hold up well after a pre-wash in cool to tepid water with a very mild soap or detergent. This is a new line of thread; should be showing up in your stores sometime late summer, early fall. all the best, -Peri ----- Original Message ----- From: Cynthia Long To: Sent: September 02, 1998 07:52 Subject: Re: H-COST: silk floss > > -Poster: Cynthia Long > > I agree.

The variety of time-periods: aye, there's the rub... To have a period of 2000, 3000 or 4000 yaers of costume in one book, be it ever so hefty, is a too daunting task. Herbert Norris tried to and needed seven books to do it in, but he was an interpreter in the vein of Viollet-le-Duc; he drew (literally) his own conclusions. Besides that: everytime only the dress of the upper classes of a few European countries are represented, hardly ever the other, much, larger part of society. So an overview is, by definition, always a limited view. In my opinion, my period, the middle ages, is always a very small part of such an overview, while my favourite part (1250-1350) is hardly ever dealt with or just very fleetingly (nobility again). If you want to know about several periods, look them up seperately and slice them in, say, 50 year parts. Try to get as many different pictures of a given period. Copy them, sketch details, note down colours and, of course, the original source + the book or other medium you found it in. Try to get authentic descriptions or other references to costume of this period in as original sources as possible and copy these. The larger your scope the longer you'll need to complete a good overall view of a period. It literally takes years. F.i. I have been doing 1250-1350 for more than 10 years now and can safely say that now I have a pretty clear view of dress of all classes in England, Netherlands, Flanders, middle to northern France, Germany, Switzerland, some parts of Scandinavia, Poland and Tsjechia and of northern Italy. I have some idea about Spain, Scotland, the Balkan, Austria, Hungary, hardly any of Portugal, North Africa, Byzantium and the near East, Russia, etc. Of course, I dabble in other periods too, but my research there is based on what others are doing now, especially on this list: these are not my periods but those of others. And I don't mind; I can learn of these people and sometimes their finds can be integrated in my research, which only makes it richer. What I found is: don't do overviews, specialise and loose yourself in a world of detail, colour, dresscodes and background. There's a lifetime of work in this and it's fun, especially when you're reconstructing and wearing the clothes of your favourite period. Don't think, though, I am only interested in my 100 years of the middle ages. I already own costumes of 9th c Frisians and monks of several periods, and I'm starting a 15th c costume. One of my dreams is also to own a perfectly ordinary set of clothes of a Dutch burgher of 1625. Oh well, perhaps in a few years...

Well, without it seeming that _I'm_ getting into someone's face, I'd remark that putting "the store of human knowledge" on-line, or on CD-ROM, probably sounds easier to people who don't have to do it. Anyway . . . information, art, music, etc. _are_ valuable. For this reason, those who create and distribute them can charge for their work. Because creation, distribution, etc. involve significant work, time, and monetary expense, and because selling your work through a paying medium garners more professional respect than distributing it free, people often do charge if they can find any way to do it. And they have every right to charge. Libraries and other institutions who distribute copyright-expired material free on the web, and provide other public services, get paid via tax money, grants, etc. Magazines who distibute a few free articles on the web (a) have permission from the authors and (b) are using this as a marketing technique in the hope of more profit on their printed magazines, much like the offers of "one free issue and subscribe if you like it" offers I get in my snail mail. Individuals usually either find a publisher who provides professional expertise and fronts the money for publication, in exchange for a share of the profits; or they assume the publisher's/producer's role themselves, doing all the work and fronting all the money. Without going into confidential business details, I can testify that publishing even an anthology takes many months of full-time work, many thousands of dollars for printing and other expenses, and, if done digitally, lots of high-end, expensive computer equipment. Of course materials distributed on-line and on CD-ROM can be charged for. The day will soon come when far more material is available on disk or for download at a price. However, the technical mechanisms for distributing and charging for such material are not yet fully in place. Take web downloads: Most individuals have monitors with no more than about 96 dpi resolution. This is lousy resolution for fine art materials, or even clear viewing of small or difficult text I think most book printers use about 2400 dpi. Then, most individuals do not yet have high-speed computer lines, and the net is overloaded with the increasing numbers of people joining it. Downloading large images of even 96 dpi or so can be very tedious. OK, so maybe people can put high-res files on-line in "zipped" format . . . but then there's the printing issue. Staring at a monitor for long periods is more uncomfortable, and less portable, than holding a book. For this reason many people like to print materials they download. Most home and office printers are set up for 8 1/2" by 11" and possibly legal size pages; but books and other printed materials are designed for many other sizes. Furthermore many people do not own color printers. So there's the question of how to deal with all that. And of course a printer, printer paper, and notebooks to put all that loose paper in aren't free. There are also layout questions. Print matter publishers pay a great deal of attention to how material is laid out on a page. But with people using monitors of varying sizes, it is significantly harder to design a good layout. I understand some portable "electronic book" hardware is available--you pop in the disk and read the book on the "electronic book's" screen. But for many books to be published in such a medium, there has to be a critical mass of people who own the hardware. But in turn, they won't buy the hardware until enough books they want are available that way. Then there are the problems with charging for electronic material. There is as yet no standard mechanism for charging royalties for downloads. There are, as far as I know, also no really good techniques to prevent illegal copying of CD-ROMs or material downloaded from the web. These technical problems will almost certainly be solved; but until they are, print matter will remain the primary publishing medium. I think a stance of "put it all on disk immediately or it will soon vanish forever" is somewhat alarmist. Anyway, since I live in earthquake country too, not that far from the Palace of the Legion of Honor, I (a) braced my house ("earthquake proofing" has been or is being done in most local museums and other public buildings, and many private homes as well); and (b) I keep several sets of backups disks in different locations.

I've been building up a specialized library on Spanish costume (SCA period -- post-Roman thru 1600ish), but I'd like to have an overview of general European costume during that same time frame. The overview books I had originally, got wiped out in a flood that reached my storage unit -- which may have been a good thing since they were the easily available books that I've since learned are pretty inaccurate. (The Spanish books were safely in my second-floor apartment!) I'd like to get some overview books again, covering mainstream medieval Europe, but I don't know which ones are best. Is there, perhaps, a good overview of medieval English costume, another one for French, another for Italian, etc? I agree with Henk about specializing to some extent, but I like to have an overview framework to give me context for my specialty interest.

Sure, but this involves time, work, and expense on the part of the people doing it. For example: Many books published during the 19th and 20th centuries are out of print. Their publishers did not keep them in print because they were not selling well enough to justify the expenses of reprinting them, marketing them, and warehousing them until they sold. No other publisher has reprinted them for the same reason. Maybe someday someone will, and maybe not. And the same for musical recordings. Some observations: (1) The existence of the Internet, and CD-ROMs, will not make the work and expense of writing, editing, illustrating, producing, storing, and marketing a work magically disappear. They may be reduced enough to make works with smaller markets worth producing, but they will not disappear. (2) The expenses and time involved in producing a large work, and even reprinting a work, are significant enough that the people doing the work require payment. They need not only to recover their expenses, but enough money to live on while they produce the work. (3) To justify the effort and expense of keeping a work available, or publishing/producing it to begin with, you need a large number of people to buy it. Expenses are usually amortized over the number of copies of the work sold. It is possible to publish an excellent book that does not make enough money to justify its publication. Publishers that do this often do not stay in business. Writers that do this often have trouble finding publishers. (4) The need to make a living, even the desire to become rich, is by no means diametrically opposed to the "academic" desire to contribute to the welfare of the human race or the "artistic" desire to "express" oneself. It is not unethical or crass to need money, or to require it for work done.

I should add that, for example, my ISP gives me email and enough disk space for two small web sites (plus a little more disk space than I currently need) for about $30/month. But they do not give me enough space to put one entire book on-line. If I required that, they'd either charge me a lot more (costs I'd have to pass on to readers) or possibly, refuse to provide it because they don't want to allot that much space to one customer. Another issue is the amount of the material on the web. It's already hard to sort through all the irrelevant stuff to find what you want, and the quantity is growing rapidly. So publishers will have to market their material, or possibly pay for it to be put in web directories, to help readers find it. Think of a bookstore . . . you walk in and there are hundreds of books. You may find some you want by random browsing. But books that are heavily advertised, so readers go to bookstores looking for them, sell much better. Many people are not motivated enough to hunt for obscure books, but will buy books they hear about a lot and that are prominently displayed to them. But again, marketing costs get passed on to readers. Also, publishers will probably continue charging more for works that are not in much demand. As I said in an earlier message, costs get amortized over the number of copies sold. This is why Stephen King's bestsellers get published as $6 mass market paperbacks and academic studies don't. It's not a question of which is a better type of book, it's a question of demand. Because many publishing costs are the same on or off the net, there is no reason for the supply-and-demand laws of pricing to change. I'm not saying publishing on the web and CD won't increase. I'm just saying it's not easy or free to publish this way. Fran Grimble --------------------------------------------- Visit our web pages!

For example: my boyfriend recently purchased a book for me. He didn't open it because it was wrapped up due to its crumbling condition, but he knows I like old books. I opened it up to find a handwritten book of sewing tips and techniques that was dated 1809. But, most of the book was unreadable... now, I wonder what information that woman, sitting in her home, sewing by hand, had that would have been of use to me and those I know who sew today. Why allow our kids and grandkids to be able to say the same when we have the technology to change that? Sarah _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My university library takes brittle, deteriorating, out-of-print books and makes preservation microform and CD copies. We, like other placed dedicated to preservation efforts, list these preservation copies on OCLC. Other libraries then know not to repeat the effort of copying that title and they know where to get it if they need a copy. This has been a major cooperative project among libraries for over a decade. To make a preservation copy, more work is involved than you might think. The original piece may be damaged, missing pages, break into pieces as you work with it... It is not uncommon to have to interlibrary loan other copies to fill in missing pages. Once a complete, copiable version is ready, it has to be copied, filmed and/or burned into a CD with some quality control, i.e. the page should be correctly exposed and centered on the frame, an attempt should be made to reproduce the original artifact as much as possible, illustrative materials need to be balanced for color, sharpness, etc. Because people are doing the work, one of the copies needs to be viewed for quality control to make sure no pages were left out, got over- exposed, etc. Then if the copies are all fine, you catalog the title again and add it to OCLC, do the accounting work, pay for the title, label and store it FOREVER. If the format for micro-readers or CD players change, you must REFORMAT everything done earlier (you don't remember paper microcards, do you?). The cost of this is tremendous. Excluding all set-up work (identifying titles to be saved, ILL'ing missing pages, collating, shipping to the copying company, proofing upon return, accounting, shelf prep, etc.) just the copying costs to have an average book reformatted to one acid-free paper copy can run $100-150 US. When you add additional copies in micro or CD format, that increases the price. The set-up work can double that cost for staff time and materials. Sooooo...it's amazing that as many research libraries as do continue to request grants from NEH and other places (a very time consuming process in itself) to preserve the cultural record. Many of these projects involve copying every title in a particular subject held by a library with a particularly comprehensive collection (we did a project of botanical works, I believe and are currently seeking funding to digitize/preserve our extensive 20th century American fiction collection, among other ongoing projects.) This is being done at a time when most libraries' budgets are relatively stable not increasing. Yet libraries must work cooperatively to obtain an expanding amount of material (especially electronic) at ever- increasing prices as well as preserve 150 years worth of knowledge printed on deteriorated acidic paper. (Did you know that some of the major research journals in chemistry cost over $20,000. US per year! That's twenty-thousand dollars for one paper subscription. If this were a more perfect world, we'd take the budget for one Stealth Bomber and put it into NEH grants for library digitizing. Anyone want to suggest that to your local politician? _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Jun 18 16:44:02 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA11569 for ; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 16:44:02 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA18612; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 15:54:38 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id PAA05620 for h-costume-outgoing; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 15:54:20 -0600 (MDT) Received: from bsumail.idbsu.edu (bsumail.idbsu.edu [132.178.16.40]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id PAA05606 for ; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 15:54:14 -0600 (MDT) Received: from cobfac.boisestate.edu (cobfac.boisestate.edu [132.178.51.3]) by bsumail.idbsu.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA15648 for ; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 15:55:00 -0600 Message-Id: <199906182155.PAA15648@bsumail.idbsu.edu> Received: from COBFAC/SpoolDir by cobfac.boisestate.edu (Mercury 1.44); 18 Jun 99 15:54:13 -0700 Received: from SpoolDir by COBFAC (Mercury 1.44); 18 Jun 99 15:53:44 -0700 From: "Linda Yordy" Organization: College of Business & Economics To: h-costume@indra.com Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 15:53:35 -0700 Subject: Re: H-COST: Re: Hald book Priority: normal In-reply-to: <376AA771.E0BD9EF0@serv.net> X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01d) Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Linda Yordy" > The David Brown Book Co. can be reached through www.oxbowbooks.com or at > 1-800-791-9354.

(As opposed to going 'Owie owie owie' I guess) I always thought that was very stoic, although now it just makes me wonder.... Is there a kind of nettle that stings less (I know when I was in England you were supposed to be able to tell by the colour of the flower but I wasn't keen to experiment :-)?

You can then harvest the plants and rub them between your hands to release the fibers. This is also the way you harvest milkweed fibers.

Actually I just saw a reference to dead white nettle in an article I'm reading on Prehistoric food in Britain. The drawing of it looks very much like a nettle. The Latin name given is Lamium album, if that means anything to the botanically inclined. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Claire F.

Back when I was in library school, in 1990 or 1991, I seem to remember hearing that CDs (the professionally produced ones, not just read/write) had a shelf life of probably not much more than 10 years, especially if they were not played. The problem isn't how the information is stored on the disk so much as the substrate which holds the material the information is stored on. Just like cheap late 19th or early 20th century papers self destructs, so do (or at least did till recently) electronic media substrates. That's one of the reason that those floppies you made backups on 15 years ago, even stored in ideal conditions, may not be readable today. It's also why many of us classical music types have kept our turntables. The stuff hasn't been copied over to CDs, and any way, a vinyl record, well cared for, will be playable a century from now, the CD, who knows? And even when the substrate stays intact electronic media still seem to be prone to natural degredation, (they need to be read and copied to a new floppy at least once a year for any guarantee of survival). So - acid free paper! and anyway it's hard to cart the computer over to the table where I'm doing my cutting, or the comfy chair where I do my embroidery, and I really hate having to keep going back and forth. 8) Philippa _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sat Jun 19 22:45:28 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id WAA07028 for ; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 22:45:27 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA01161; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 21:55:30 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id VAA05872 for h-costume-outgoing; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 21:55:20 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail.mc.net (mail.mc.net [209.172.128.4]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with SMTP id VAA05861 for ; Sat, 19 Jun 1999 21:55:16 -0600 (MDT) From: lynnx@mc.net Received: (qmail 22370 invoked from network); 20 Jun 1999 03:55:14 -0000 Received: from chi-ras-5-209-112-95-123.mc.net (HELO HEATHERL) (209.112.95.123) by mail.mc.net with SMTP; 20 Jun 1999 03:55:14 -0000 Message-ID: <376C873E.5B57@mc.net> Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 23:16:30 -0700 X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.04Gold (Win95; I; 16bit) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume-digest@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Wrap Like An Egyptian References: <199906161940.NAA04499@indra.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Rating: mail.mc.net 1.6.1 0/1000/N Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: lynnx@mc.net Don't know of any websites offhand, but (yeah I know, lousy reviews) but try to ILL _Ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Persian Costume_ by Mary Houston, pub.

Stingers don't have coulred flowers. Stingers is what we called the nettle that stings (obvious but I thought I'd best make it clear !) But dead nettles are small & softer alround and not that common ie not as weeds every where like as the stinger, I'm not sure they are long enough for fibre production either >The "field retting" described by Katrina washes off the stinging "hairs" which are formed of oxalic acid crystals (that's why you wait until after a couple of rainstorms). You can then harvest the plants and rub them between your hands to release the fibers. This is also the way you harvest milkweed fibers. I'm not convinced but I'll go & wash a nettle in a while & blame you if I get stung :) According to The Englishmans Flora, nettle cloth was made in Scotland until the 18th C, Thomas Campbell 1777-1844 spoke of nettle sheets & nettle table cloths. Popular in Denmark & Norway too. Nettle cloth in Danish Bronze age graves. Modern records 1917 of nettle weaving in the Tyrol. Nettle fabric is not harsh but very fine apparently. Folklore Nettles prevented milk from being affected by house trolls or witches. Roman nettle (?extinct) called so after the romans apparently stinging themselves against the cold of britain ! Didn't look like a nettle so was good for practical jokes...ouch Nettle Urtica dioica Dead nettle Lamium album good for Kings evil...whatever that might be :) These have different names & are in different chapter so I guess not closly related at least ! Ok this nettle stuff is intreresting anyone want to try & make cloth ? soup ?(nice I eat it) omlettes ? Acne wash ? (excellent) cordial (I got a nice nettle cordial from the WI, but I can't find it again :( ), etc ?

The bouffant look came in around the 1790s, with the oversized kerchief. Though the bust looked bigger, it was really done with the amount of fabric in the kerchief (fichu) rather than the shape of the stays. The century started with a very staright shape and developed to a more natural shape. As Lynn Sorge calls it, "From cone to comfort". >Another thing i am thinking of how to make is the skirt.

In the 1850 Godey's lady book I recently purchased, there is an article on making hair jewelry. the fascinating thing about it to me is that is is done using exactly the same tools as techniques as Japanse kumihimo. The article gives instructions for making a maru dai (braiding stool) although it doesn't call it that. . There is no reference to this being a Japanese technique, which is not surprising given that Admiral Perry didn't storm into Japan for another four years. So, did this technique somehow sneak out of Japan, or did it evolve independantly, or ....??? Oh, and just to complicate things, somewhere in QE's Wardrobe, Janet Arnold says that laces and ties were made with techniques identical to those used in Japan, although she doesn't give a reference. Are there any weaving and braiding historians out there who want to have fun with this?

You have helped me a great deal here! I have made the corset exactly the same size as the pattern draft and it fits my dressstand very vell. I am just surprised, as i was thinking that the corset would be much smaller. Has Norah Waugh made the corsets bigger so that they can fit modern women? In Nancy Bradfields book Costume in detail, there are some drawings of interior cutting and stitchins for some robes 1770-80, and they have the superfluos fabrick at the deep back point outside the bodice. you have to make a big curve at the centre back bodice on the skirt. I have been reading that this superfluos fabrick, helped the skirt to be surported better.

All the kids I grew up with (and all my colleagues who are currently in the office) knew that flowered nettles don't sting and non flowering ones do. I've never heard of nettles with red flowers though, only white/dead nettles. As an aside, I was takinga visiting friend from Boston (US) around Highgate Cemetary a few weeks ago. It's very overgrown and I warned her to be careful of the nettles. It hadn't occured to me that someone might not know what nettles were but, apparently, she'd never encountered them and thought they were something that isn't common or doesn't appear in the US (like Hedgehogs and realistic English accents....)

I'm from the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States (Virginia) and we do have stinging nettles here. I'm not sure I've ever seen a non-stinging variety, though. --Jessica _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 21 12:24:40 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA26271 for ; Mon, 21 Jun 1999 12:24:39 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA04713; Mon, 21 Jun 1999 11:33:58 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id LAA00190 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 21 Jun 1999 11:33:25 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp.email.msn.com (cpimssmtpu02.email.msn.com [207.46.181.18]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id LAA29997 for ; Mon, 21 Jun 1999 11:33:06 -0600 (MDT) Received: from default - 208.253.11.98 by email.msn.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Mon, 21 Jun 1999 10:32:34 -0700 From: "Hope H.

Not wooden or plaster dummies with clothing on them. The effigies are quite interesting and the clothing is outstanding. There are 4 SCA period effigies but only Elizabeth I has the clothing. Everything else is 17th-18th century. Not my time interest. I am wondering if anyone would like to purchase this from me. I paid 10 pounds for the book and 9.50 pounds for the shipping which comes to $32.37US. I would be happy to sell this to someone for $30US and I'll through in the shipping to your neck of the woods if you live in the US.

Herb" O Esteemed Listees, I bow to your superior knowledge and experience: I've been given a pattern for strapped stays with a 34" bust and need to enlarge it to my own more ample and cushiony 42" bust with undoubtedly about a proportional increase in the waist. What's the best approach -- add several 1/2" or 1" bits evenly distributed throughout? And once the extra width (and any length) is added, do I keep the same number of bottom tabs but make them wider, or do I add tabs? And what other things do I need to know and do? The obvious solution is to get a bigger pattern, but financially it's out of the question right now. Beating the pattern into submission only costs time and nerves.

I recently was asked if I could find the answers to a couple of questions, and I'm hoping someone on this list can help. Does anyone know what linen of the Elizabethan period would have looked like? I'm mostly interested in quality of weave -- the density (?) of the cloth. (Sorry, I don't know the correct terms). From reading, it appears that there was a fine type of linen called "holland" which was presumably a better quality than the local stuff . . . is there a modern textile that compares comparably to 16th c. linen? My second (okay, third) question regards accessories. Has anyone a picture or description of an Elizabethan hankerchief? Gads, that sounds strange. This really is a legitimate request. I believe that the person requesting the information is trying to recreate the type of hankie a 16th c. magician might have used in a slight-of-hand trick. The exact question was "could you find a place that could make 110 linen hankerchiefs with tassel?" Did 16th c. hankerchiefs come with tassels?? Could anyone help? I will be most grateful for any assistance or advice.

I don't know about sketches, my advice is avoid anything with re-drawn pictures. For a general overview I believe Davenport's "Book of Costume" or whatever it's called and Boucher's "20,000 Years of Costume" are both pretty good. The advantage to both of them is they contain a wealth of pictures.

What's the best approach -- >add several 1/2" or 1" bits evenly distributed throughout? Well, I've made entierly too many of these, so I can give you some advice which may even be useful ;) (WARNING: entirely too much information) Silly seamstress note: Spread the pattern pieces (tho you likely know this one already) rather than adding to the outside edges. :) Get someone to help you take detailed measurements of the part of you that will be in the corset. You may not need to spread the back or waist as much as the bust. These measurements are based on patterns that I have used, so you may need to adjust these slightly for your corset. For this type of pattern you will want to measure : Width of back from shoulderblade to shoulderblade ________ Length of back from shoulder (where the strap will sit, reference any pictures with the pattern) to waist_________ Same from shoulderblade level to just below waist in back_____ RIbcage under the bust, (from side to side at approx side seam on a fitted blouse) front_______ back______ whole_____ Waist (from side to side at approx side seam on a fitted blouse) Front_____ Back_______ whole_____ Side length from a comfortable distance under the arm to the waist________ Bust front (from side to side at approx side seam on a fitted blouse)______ Front length from where the corset should end (at or above nipple level, remember tha tthis may move when corested, so 'lift&squish' while measuring this) to the waist point (where you want it to end, center front________ Take the measurements and compare them to the pattern. They should give you a good Idea of where to spread the pattern and how much. I also reccomend getting some grid-printed pattern drafting material (usually with the interfacings at most fabric shops). It is transparent and has the grid on it, which makes enlarging patterns much easier. You just count the squares. It helps a lot. Also, make a muslin and fit this before making it up in good fabric with all the bones &c. You will want to know where it gaps or is too big or small before putting all the work into it. If all this is too much (and I don't blame you if it is *grin*), you can try the duct-tape-fitting technique at http://www.waisted.com Using your corset pattern as a reference for where to draw the seamlines. As for the tabs, I would jsut add more tabs, since wider tabs can act 'funny' - wrinkling, riding up, stretching, etc. Good luck and let us know how it comes out!

I am sure not up to speed on 16th century magicians so I don't know what they might have used. I would imagine that a silk 'hankie/scarf' would have worked better for them then as they do now.

I saw a copy of "Dyer's" very briefly, and noted that it was fairly thin. My copy of "Weaver's" is packed away in a box somewhere, since I moved fairly recently, so I can't get at it to see how much it has on dye plants. The place I've moved to allows me space for a garden... and dye plants are what I'd be most likely to grow. Thanks! And thank you for the info on linen spinning, too. I've done some weaving, but only read about spinning.

What a godsend it would be! It hides. it's a non-woven 'fabric' like the pellon brand interfacing, and in fact looks remarkably like super-lightweight sew-in pellon interfacing. Very thin and transparent. There are two kinds: One has little dots every inch or so, which seem like a good idea, but in practice jsut sort of get in the way. The other is the blue grid-print. Just like an enormous sheet of graph paper, except that it can actually be draped if necessary. I think it's called tru-grid, but I'm not sure. Clotilde ( http://www.clotilde.com ) has something similar, but I can't tell if it is actually paper or not. They refer to it as 'swedish gridded paper' and 'Swedish Gridded Tracing/Drafting Paper', so I would call tehm or email them and ask. If it's the real stuff, get it form them if you can't find it your local shop, their prices look like a good deal. >>Also, make a muslin and fit this before making it up in good fabric >>with all the bones &c.

Yes, along seams and centre front and back. Tip: Bias tape works fine for casings on a muslin. Good luck!

I was going to use Ace bandages or tape for the bosoms, but my I don't think this will work on my butt (the hips aren't the problem, by the way) ----Second, I have almost hip length curly hair and I'm not sure what to do with it for the event. I was thinking of sort of folding it under and pinning it under a cloche to resemble short hair, but this is kinda tacky. Any other advice on 1920s ladies dress would be appreciated!

I grew up in the southeastern US and know for a FACT that we had stinging nettles (there, the rather sensible common name for the ones that sting). There was a big patch of them in a shady area right behind our house, and one of the major foot-paths on our land went right through it. I don't recall them EVER flowering. The type of nettle I'm unfamiliar with is the kind that flowers and DOESN'T sting.

Melise, I have two photos of Elizabethan handkerchiefs in the book Elizabethan Embroidery by George Wingfield Digby. Part of the text that describes one of them is as follows: It is embroidered in pale yellow and green silks in double running stitch and has a border of gold and silver lace, with tassels at the four corners. So yes, some of them did have tassels. The picture is not all that clear, and 'tassels' isn't the term I'd have used to describe them. They don't looks as fringe-y as what I think of as tassels, more of a pendant or braid. --annora Lisa Leong * <| lisaleon@hawaii.edu .^. * * .=.=.=. * * <| ^V V V^ <| \^ ^ ^/ | | \^ ^ ^/ | |^^^^| |^^^^| | | [] [] [] | | ":":":":...:":":":" | ~~~|________[oIo]________|~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Jun 22 01:13:16 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id BAA06800 for ; Tue, 22 Jun 1999 01:13:14 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA16524; Tue, 22 Jun 1999 00:22:55 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id AAA01229 for h-costume-outgoing; Tue, 22 Jun 1999 00:22:29 -0600 (MDT) Received: from hpamgaaa.compuserve.com (ah-img-1.compuserve.com [149.174.217.154]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id AAA01215 for ; Tue, 22 Jun 1999 00:22:24 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from mailgate@localhost) by hpamgaaa.compuserve.com (8.8.8/8.8.8/HP-1.5) id CAA27742 for h-costume-digest@indra.com; Tue, 22 Jun 1999 02:21:48 -0400 (EDT) Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 02:21:22 -0400 From: Melanie Wilson Subject: H-COST: Nettles Red To: "INTERNET:h-costume-digest@indra.com" Message-ID: <199906220221_MC2-7A49-E1E3@compuserve.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by sca.uwaterloo.ca id BAA06800 Status: O -Poster: Melanie Wilson >Interesting subject.

Some members of the family lack the stinging hairs. I don't know whether the fiber from those is used for cloth. The "flowers" of the Uricaceae are little green things, not pretty or showy. Um, think marijuana flowers. Having once been stung by a nettle, you will never forget it! Most of the false, hemp, or dead nettles belong to the Labiatae family, the same family as mints. They either flower between the leaf and stem, or in a little "crown" on top of the plant. The flowers can be either white or a purplish-red, and are much more showy, at least compared to stinging nettles. Both are found in the US. Unfortunately for me, I have only found the stinging ones locally. If anyone wants them for fiber, you will have to come collect them yourself!

One trick I've seen in a lot of silent movies is for women with long hair to roll it under at the nape of the neck so that it resembles a shorter cut with the ends curled under as in this picture http://www.silent-movies.com/Ladies/Swanson/Swan06.jpg They also acheived a shorter effect by massing their hair in the back and holding it in place with a band as in this picture from a Gloria Swanson movie http://www.silent-movies.com/Ladies/Swanson/Swan107.jpg A lot of times, the short hair effect was so complete that I didn't realize that the heroine had long hair until they did a hairdressing scene. Granted, this probably works best if your hair isn't wildly thick. BTW, these pictures came from the Silent Ladies website, which is an exellent pictorial archive for 1920's hair, hats, and makeup. http://www.silent-movies.com/Ladies/Ladies.html 'Hope that helps!

I have the stuff from Clotilde and it works very well. It is paper. I use it for enlarging patterns from books.

For tracing off large patterns, I use the plain pattern paper that can be sewn. It's great to just baste the pattern pieces together to check the size, then take them apart again. Can't remember if I got it from Clotilde or Nancy's Notions (which has faster service and a great on-line catalog).

Dunlap" Rather than trying to flatten yourself, try wearing a 3/4 length kimono cut overgarment in the style of the Fortuny, poirot and Gallenga coats. Fortuny and Gallenga exhibited these garments at the Decorative Arts Exposition in Paris in 1925 and a half dozen of them are presently on display at the Metropolitan museum of Art in New York Costume Institute. They were made out of lightweight silk and alternatively a supple velvet often printed with gold and silver designs. The neat thing about them is that they were often designed to be poufy in back so that it will flatter your natural curves. A kimono will do, 3/4 length of your skirt, left unbelted. If you want, cut the lower corner of the front opening into an arc a bit bigger than a dinner plate and gather the back hem to cinch it in just above your knees then run the kimono neck band continuously around the whole lower edge. Sometimes the kimono sleeves were gathered into a loose band just below the elbow. Some of the garments had a very wide shawl collar as as alternative, but they were still a wrap style left unbelted. This is very authentic to the period. The Typical patterning is shown on a Gallenga cape here: http://www.camrax.com/pages/birks14.htm#Gallenga A description of a longer sleeved garment by Gallenga follows:Opera cloak of brown silk velvet stencilled in antiqued silver in a custom design of possibly stylized foliage inspired by the patterns on early Mogul textiles. The coat has an enormous draped rectangular collar, large batwing sleeves, long flowing body taping slightly at the ankles. The stencilled pattern follows the join of the sleeves and crosses the top of the back. It is interesting to note that unlike Fortuny, Gallenga experimented with a range of construction patterns which were not necessarily minimal but did show the surface decoration to advantage. Provenance: Collection of one of Gallenga's relatives. This coat was examined several years ago by Maryanne Carlano when she was at the Wadsworth Atheneum and doing research on Gallenga for an exhibition. At that time she commented that she may have seen a photograph of Gallenga in it. Unfortunately I can't get the picture to open, but here's the front view of another apera cape showing how the woodblock printed gilt design plays across the front.http://www.camrax.com/cgi-bin/couture.old3.pl If you think of this on a kimono, then you're getting my drift here. Oh, bingo, here's one pictured at http://www.camrax.com/cgi-bin/couture.old3.pl It's from the 1930's but it's not that dissimilar to the ones from the 1920's. Evening ensemble consisting of a dress (delphos) of blue china silk pleated in Fortuny's lost technique and a coat - jacket of blue silk velvet stencilled in a custom designed motif inspired by islamic art. The sleeveless dress consists of mainly straight pleated panels which cling to the body. A minor adjustment was made by Fortuny under the arms to give the shoulders an extension to the top of the arms without creating additional bulk through the rib cage. In the later part of his career, he made slight modifications to his original design to accomodate clients. The dress is accompanied by a thick belt stencilled in an Islamic inspired floral motif. The jacket-coat has the flat two dimensional T shape construction inspired by ethnic costume. This shows the fabric pattern to advantage without interuption for seams. It is held closed by a silk cord at the neckline. It is rare to find matching ensembles. These pieces were made to be worn together. The differnece in the colours is probably the result of different fabrics receiving the dye differently.

I was thinking of sort of folding it under and pinning it under a cloche to resemble short hair, but this is kinda tacky. Any other advice on 1920s ladies dress would be appreciated!

In my 20's evening gown, the back is loose enough that the cloth drapes straight down, which disguises my rump quite well. Another thought might be to add a small pad in the curve of your back, thus creating a straight line. > ----Second, I have almost hip length curly hair and I'm not sure what to do > with it for the event.

What I did was twist it up tight on the top of my head, tied it within an inch of it's life, then added a rhinestone bracelet around the base. It looked very Erte. You might use gel in yours, to tame the curls a bit, or leave a few out, for effect. Good luck!

Make them the same distance apart as needed to include the length pattern piece...we'll say 5". the new pattern: 1) On a sheet big enough draw a vertical line. 2) draw perpendicular lines to correspond with the ones you drew on the pattern pieces...In our example 5" apart. 3) Line up the lines on the pattern with the lines on the paper. Mark key points of the pattern on the paper...like the corner of CF & the neck line, the corner of the neck & shoulder seam (or where the strap attaches), the corner of the shoulder seam & the armseye....you'll have to determine what's key. 4) You can now change the measurements in these two directions To widen the pieces slide it along the horizontal lines...keep it in line...the extra width you need for one pattern piece. This shouldn't be too great an amount. 1" is about max but remember these add up when the pieces are put together. To change the length slide it up or down the vertical axis. Mark the same points. 5) Connect the dots using the original pattern & its points as a guide. The curve of the neck will be different as well as the slope of the shoulder....things that get missed up if you just add to the outside of the pattern. You can of course cut the existing pattern pieces up to distribute the extra more evenly. BTW...Jean Hunnisett has a pattern for an 18th corset with a 41" bust & a 32" waist in her book. My last bit of advice is to keep the CB pieces of the corset small...maybe not add as much as the rest.

I saw An Ideal Husband this afternoon and it was a wonderful movie, filled with yummy 1895 era costumes. Costumi Pirelli was the company credited with the costume construction. If you're interested in costumes of this era, run to see it. (Someone who knows the era better than I do, please let the list know if Minnie's red dresses- she wears 2- are period....) Also, it's witty and clever.

The red is a smaller, floppier plant than the white. The stinging nettle's flowers are insignificant dangling strands of greenish bits. I sometimes make nettle soup and, before I had a garden where I could grow spinach, occasionally cooked nettle tops as a vegetable. (You need to get them young, before the fibres develop.) Years ago I took a week's course on the uses of plants and was shown some yarn spun from nettle fibres. I remember it as fairly coarse and lumpy, but perhaps it hadn't been very expertly spun. Presumably the field retting involves the plants wilting and dying, which would disarm the stings (as does cooking, of course) Kate Bunting Library, University of Derby _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 23 10:25:57 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA05158 for ; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 10:25:56 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA08336; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 09:35:53 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id JAA24570 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 09:35:25 -0600 (MDT) Received: from vortex.engr.washington.edu (vortex.engr.washington.edu [128.95.19.1]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id JAA24490 for ; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 09:35:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: from serv.net (hearn.loew.washington.edu [128.95.202.218]) by vortex.engr.washington.edu (8.8.7/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA12713 for ; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 08:35:51 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3770FF06.FA4A6466@serv.net> Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 08:36:38 -0700 From: Merouda the True of Bornover X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: Velvet?

The search function gives you the option of choosing how many days ago an item was added. Since our catalog is updated twice a year, it is best to use the 365 days option. Also, if you are searching for a particular product, such as "Extra Long Pleater ", but it is not found, search for "pleater", and then choose the item you are interested in from the choices you are given. margery ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There is no spoon~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {*to reply take "spambegone" from my reply-to address*} _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 23 12:42:43 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA07580 for ; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:42:42 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA29299; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 11:50:22 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id LAA25634 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 11:22:21 -0600 (MDT) Received: from rrnet.com (root@rrnet.com [206.11.160.5]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id LAA25507 for ; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 11:21:51 -0600 (MDT) Received: from john (alley.cat.rrnet.com [206.11.160.199]) by rrnet.com (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA07320 for ; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:21:44 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: <199906231721.MAA07320@rrnet.com> X-Sender: baird@rrnet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0 Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:21:44 -0500 To: h-costume@indra.com From: "J,K,S&A Baird" Subject: Re: H-COST: grid PATTERN PAPER In-Reply-To: <4.1.19990623100831.0096b5c0@pop.idsi.net> References: <199906221404.JAA20359@rrnet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "J,K,S&A Baird" Here is the URL for Nacy's Notions on line catalog: http://www.netmart.com/cgi-shop/storemaker-1.56.exe?id=930157410&action=menu This is the page for the Swedish tracing paper I like that is sewable: http://www.netmart.com/cgi-shop/storemaker-1.56.exe?id=930157410&item=stp10 &class=patternnotions This page has the Pellon Tru-Grid which is useful for enlarging patterns from small diagrams: http://www.netmart.com/cgi-shop/storemaker-1.56.exe?id=930157410&item=tgy45 &class=patternnotions No affiliation with Nancy's Notions.

We put June's article up late, so it will stay up for a few more weeks. If you have been enjoying the Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit from the University of Rhode Island in the 1999 calendar, you can learn more on the web site, www.sallyqueenassociates.com in the featured article by Jo Paoletti. Bookmark the site for future articles -- next month will be an article by Cricket Bauer on Daughter of the Regiment. Also look for conservation, exhibition, and presentation questions at www.sallyqueenassociates.com/askmisty.htm where you can send in your questions for practical, reasonable approaches to costume and textiles. Of course, you will also find information about the past calendars (1998 and 1999) and Calendar 2000, Historic Fashions Turning the Centuries and the new notecards. Enjoy, Sally Queen www.sallyqueenassociates.com _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Jun 23 12:56:21 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA07757 for ; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:56:20 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA02390; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:04:37 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id MAA08751 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:04:11 -0600 (MDT) Received: from Mail.austin.rr.com (sm2.texas.rr.com [24.93.35.55]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id MAA08721 for ; Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:04:03 -0600 (MDT) Received: from cs9363-30.austin.rr.com ([24.93.63.30]) by Mail.austin.rr.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.5.1875.185.18); Wed, 23 Jun 1999 13:00:59 -0500 From: rio@austin.rr.com (StrangeGirl) To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: grid PATTERN PAPER Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 17:59:29 GMT Organization: The Corner of my Desk Message-ID: <377a1f19.49194045@smtp-server.austin.rr.com> References: <199906221404.JAA20359@rrnet.com> <199906231721.MAA07320@rrnet.com> In-Reply-To: <199906231721.MAA07320@rrnet.com> X-Mailer: Forte Agent 1.5/32.452 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by sca.uwaterloo.ca id MAA07757 Status: O -Poster: rio@austin.rr.com (StrangeGirl) On Wed, 23 Jun 1999 12:21:44 -0500, "J,K,S&A Baird" wrote: >This page has the Pellon Tru-Grid which is useful for enlarging patterns >from small diagrams: > >http://www.netmart.com/cgi-shop/storemaker-1.56.exe?id=930157410&item=tgy45 >&class=patternnotions This is it!!! This is the stuff I swear by! I love this for any pattern that will require draping, and because I always have it on hand, I use it for my corset pattern 'masters' and the final patterns. I have also used it (for one side, with light weight interfacing as the other side) as the fitting muslin for corsets. I love it. It's farless irritating than red dot tracer to me... I like it, because, unkile paper, if you draw and cut any part of the pattern too small, you can sew on an extension and re-fit. Also because it acts much more like fabric during a fitting. BTW, does anyone know if Pellon corp. has a website?

For which period? For my period (medieval), Kohler can be alternately useful and aggravating. Useful in that there are photographs/diagrams of a number of surviving garments. Aggravating in that the author's own theoretical reconstruction diagrams (some not very good at all, others acceptable) are mixed right in there with the diagrams of surviving garments, and it's sometimes difficult to tell which is which. The text for the medieval section generally just isn't very good and verges on downright terrible at times. I *think* it becomes a little more reliable for periods with more surviving garments--can anyone confirm or deny that?

I would have to agree. I do 14th century and with the exception of the extant linen shift (!!) photo I tend to disregard it completely. In fact, with Kohler I only pay attention to the photographs.

I got mine today. Comparable to Richard the Thread for costuming supplies, but a better selection of some things (probably due to difference of locale).

Organized by category. They may have raised the catalog cost, but maybe not, as it was shipped by book post. I have not yet ordered from them, but I know others who have and they have nothing but wonderful things to say about this company. The people are nice (from my phone experience) and the prices look fairly reasonable, as well. THey offer bulk discounts which vary by item. They carry the Tru-Grid stuff as well, but it isn't referred to as tru-grid...it's listed in their catalog as "Pattern Cloth" at the bottom of page 37, for those like me who already have the new catalog. The description is right and they carry other Pellon corp products, so I would guess it is the same thing. It runs 2.0/yd up to 10 yards, 1.75/yd for a 10yd length, and 1.55/yd for a 25 yd roll. I'm going to order the 25 yd roll :D I've almost used up my stash.

First, get enough of a rich-looking fabric with a nice hand and weight to it (brocade is perfect), to reach the floor front and back when hanging from her shoulders, plus about ten inches total for hems and the fact that it should be a little longer than floor length, plus 2 to 3 feet for a nice train if desired, plus a little for shrinkage. If the fabric is narrow (closer to one meter wide than two, or closer to 45" than to 60" wide), you should probably double the amount of fabric I just told you and plan for a seam down the middle. If you had to put a seam down the middle, you need to either do that first or at least cut the fabric into two identical lengths and make sure you add your seam allowances for that seam to any future measurements. Fold the fabric (assume seam is sewn or not necessary) in half widthwise. Measure up from one end the distance you want to cut your friend's unhemmed gown to, plus whatever is necessary for a suitable bottom edge of fabric. The point you will come to is the high point of your friend's shoulders. Fold the fabric lengthwise at this point. Your fabric pile should now be four layers thick. If there will be a train, the two bottom layers (back) should be longer than the two top layers (front). Measure out from the point where the two fold lines cross along the top (the shorter fold) a distance equal to the distance from the most noticeable vertebrae in the back of her neck to the point of her shoulder, plus one inch. Mark this point. Measure down from that vertebrae to the level of the widest part of her hips (distance A). Record that measurement, then measure around this part of her hips. Quarter this measurement, then add 3 to 5 inches (total is distance B). The greater your friend's proportions in this area, the looser you will want to cut this. On your fabric, you want to measure down from the intersection of the two fold lines your distance A, then measure straight out from this measurement distance B. Mark distance B. Mark out your hem. If the gown won't have a train and is being made of 60" wide fabric, you will want to make the side about two inches shorter than the center. You will want the fabric to drag on the floor the exact same distance all around. If the gown will have a train, the sides will likely need to be cut to the same length as the center front. Draw a smooth curve for the hem of the train. In this case, you will want a smooth transition from the center front length around to the center back length. Even if this appears to be a very large hem for a gown, you want to bring the curve all the way out to the selvage edge. The fuller the skirts were, the better, as this was a sign of wealth. In fact, if you had more time I would suggest you add on to the sides to make the skirts even fuller. Now, take a long straightedge (yardstick, motorist, etc) and draw a line connecting the outermost point of the hem marking and the mark you made a distance B out from the center fold. You probably want to continue this line up five or six inches toward the bony part of the hip, in case you want to start the closed skirt of the gown a little higher (somewhere between the big hips and the bony hips is best). Measure your friend at this level and make sure you have enough fabric to go around her with a little ease, not forgetting your seam allowances. Draw a curve connecting the point at which you chose to close the skirt and the mark for your frined's shoulder points. The exact curve desired depends on what era you want to do. For an early surcote, it should practically be a straight line. As time passed, the curve went closer to the center line, especially on the front of the surcote. (For later surcotes, the back was cut noticeably wider than the front, which might be three or four inches across at the narrowest point.) In my opinion, a middle-of-the-road curve, going almost straight down from the shoulder mark to five or six inches above the beginning of the skirt and making a very round curve from there to the straight line has the best chances of suiting a body type. The neckhole should be rounded for an early surcote. If it's a 14th century surcote, the neckline should follow the neckline of the cotehardie worn under it as closely as possible, even if that gown has a low French neckline, which would make for very narrow pieces of fabric at the shoulders. If that's a problem, go with a round or only slightly oval neckline. Cut out your surcote. If you want to face the side openings with the same material you used for the gown, cut your facings out now. Your other choices are: 1) simply hem the openings, then decorate as desired with trim and/or metallic braid, and 2) face with (fake) fur. You may also want to face the neckhole, but I would suggest a small hand-stitched hem instead. Do whichever you choose to finish off the neckhole and side openings. Trim looks best if it is sewn on now, before the skirt is sewn closed, so the edges are invisible. Then sew the skirt closed and hem. You are now done, although you might want to sew a row of period-looking largish buttons down the center front of the surcote from the neck to at least the waist, and possibly all the way down. My instructions may not be completely accurate, as it is rather late and my mind's half asleep. If the directions are at all confusing to you, please ask me to explain further. In addition, I know there are other types of ladies' surcotes, like the Spanish ones and the ones where the skirt is pleated onto the body instead of being cut in one piece with it.

Gee, then what will you keep? ;-) There are no perfect sources. The trick is to know (or make educated guesses at) what is reliable and what is not. Susan replied: > For which period?

I'm no expert, but I agree with this assessment. In some ways it's nice because he's German and covers more Germanic clothing (my chosen area of interest), but that's a double-edged sword because it's nigh impossible to verify some of his work. With most books, the work gets better as we get closer to modern times, and easier to verify. This is even true of the oft maligned Braun & Schneider. Their early medieval stuff is downright hideous, but some of their German renaissance looks pretty good.

So now, the work begins. Our aim has always been the kind of Costume-Con that YOU would like to see. Already, we have plenty of events and activities planned but we do not feel we should proceed without ongoing input from costumers. So, whether you plan to attend or not, we are interested in your thoughts - to save clogging up the list, please E-mail your thoughts and suggestions direct to stilskin@netspace.net.au Apart from the traditional Costume-Con events, what sort of workshops, panels and other activities would you like to take part in? Do you have suggestions for unusual (and practical) events? Have you heard of anything in or around Melbourne that you think would make a good site visit or excursion? If you are planning to attend, would you like to host a panel, workshop or other activity? Are you willing to offer your services as a volunteer for part of the event and, if so, is there any area you have a special interest in, experience in, or desire to gain experience in? Do you have any other thoughts, suggestions or jaded barbs*? We are keen to make this a great Costume-Con and value any suggestion you want to make. *just kidding Costume-Con 20, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Melbourne, Australia Friday 16-Monday 18 February, 2002 Christopher Ballis, Evil overlo-err-chairman, Costume-Con 20, C/- Australian Costumers' Guild, PO Box 322, Bentleigh, 3204 stilskin@netspace.net.au www.vicnet.net.au/~costume/ _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 24 08:03:10 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA25751 for ; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 08:03:09 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA27244; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 07:13:17 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id HAA15680 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 07:12:53 -0600 (MDT) Received: from centum.utulsa.edu (centum.utulsa.edu [129.244.1.199]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with SMTP id HAA15672 for ; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 07:12:49 -0600 (MDT) Received: by centum.utulsa.edu for H-COSTUME@INDRA.COM; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 8:12:48 -0500 Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 8:12:48 -0500 From: "I.

The pattern calls for about 9 yards of fabric for the surcoat, but it is a modern size and adjusted more quickly than pattern-making from scratch if pattern-making is not your thing. I bought a few of these new Simplicity costumes when they went on sale for 99 cents each so even if I don't use it to make a Christmas dress for myself right away, the guilt factor over spending the money for the pattern is low! What I would like to find out is where does one find the Conso trims used in these new historic Simplicity patterns? No one here in Omaha seems to carry them yet. I'd love to at least have a look at them--if nothing else, they might be good for some doll costuming. I'm thinking about next year's RenFaire here and need something to do this winter when cold weather forces me to stay at home a lot more whether crafting for self or for a doll. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 24 09:00:16 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA26588 for ; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 09:00:15 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA03408; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 08:09:35 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id IAA23959 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 08:09:09 -0600 (MDT) Received: from web808.mail.yahoo.com (web808.mail.yahoo.com [128.11.23.68]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with SMTP id IAA23949 for ; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 08:09:06 -0600 (MDT) Message-ID: <19990624141207.7410.rocketmail@web808.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [208.247.217.34] by web808.mail.yahoo.com; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 07:12:07 PDT Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 07:12:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Sarah Toney Subject: Re: H-COST: Surcoat To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Sarah Toney Good day! > away, the guilt factor over spending the money for > the pattern is > low!

They have TONS of trims... they may have what you are looking for.

Even if you can't buy wholesale at their minimum, it a full-color 229 page book of all they carry for 1999. I take it to my local fabric store to aid in my search for a particular trim and sometimes ask the salesperson to order things for me. Unfortunately, their catalog is not online. Good luck!

A friend recently told me about this software site: http://www.wild-ginger.com/ I know nothing about this company except from browsing their site. However, they do sell most of the essential ingredients for computerized pattern making: * A digitizer to enter the paper patterns into your computer as vector graphics * Pattern-making software * A plotter to print full-size patterns You need software to enter the paper patterns with your digitizer (in addition to the driver that enables the digitizer to talk to your computer). I only glanced at this site last night, so am not sure if their pattern-making software will do that or not. If not, you probably need to buy AutoCAD--this is the CAD program a lot of pattern-making software is based on. There are services that do freelance grading, etc. for the garment industry. If you use one of them you may also need an Iomega zip drive to transfer files back and forth. It depends on how big the vector graphics files are and how many you transfer.

A friend of mine, a museum curator in Dover, Delaware, is looking for two people to portray Ivanhoe and Rowena for an event this August. It is the opening of a show of original illustrations to the book created by Frank Schoonover, one of the Brandywine School of Howard Pyle (including N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, etc). It will not be a large event, but it does pay something. I don't know much more but, if anyone is interested, and feel they have the proper look and outfit (let's be honest here), I'd be happy to put them in touch with my friend. Please contact me off line at drickman@state.de.us. Thanks.

Hey Margo, If you can't find someone with experience doing this, you might just want to pick some people you know who are of different sizes and just fit the patterns like that.

Well, a tad closer to Philadelphia--if there's no heavy traffic, it's about 45 minutes by car from Princeton to Phila., while NY is about I am certain there are good sources in both cities if not in closer places (including Bucks County PA as well as central New Jersey). There are places in New Brunswick (I think Aaron Aardvark was one) that sometimes include vintage clothing among the stock, and probably lots of antique-y/rummage-y places in the general area where some piece of vintage might turn up. But that's not going to be helpful for short-term needs. There are a number of regional theatres in this area, which means costumers who could create vintage reproductions if time/money permit (McCarter Theatre in Princeton, George Street Playhouse and Crossroads in New Brunswick)--and the Rutgers folks have an active costume shop year round, I believe, with costume students who also would be able to execute such a commission. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Jun 24 14:00:08 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA31607 for ; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 14:00:08 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA19849; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 13:10:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id NAA29821 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 13:09:33 -0600 (MDT) Received: from smtp.email.msn.com (cpimssmtpu10.smtp.email.msn.com [207.46.181.60]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id NAA29791 for ; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 13:09:27 -0600 (MDT) Received: from default - 208.253.11.226 by email.msn.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Thu, 24 Jun 1999 12:08:51 -0700 From: "Hope H.

I believe schools like FIT offer whole concentrations in this area--so in certain levels, the standards are quite high. Part of the problem many drafters have is overcoming their own personal figure flaws and coming up with a pattern that suits the commercially standard figure. Also, there are industry conventions for the illustration of instructions and the breakdown of certain common sewing tasks. In the garment industry, it is common practice to have patterns (including those made strictly for ready-to-wear) validated by standards organizations for compliance with industry specifications (not to be confused with verifying your pattern by using test sewers). As far as I know, Costume Connection is the only company in the costume pattern business that does this level of verification, so it may not be truly required if you are just going to make costume patterns (since it isn't a common costume pattern practice). Still, bear in mind that a general sewer (or should I say consumer) will expect the kind of quality seen in Vogue, McCalls, Butterick, et al--especially if you charge a premium price. So, the standards testing may be neccessary if you want to ensure consumer satisfaction (think of the business prospects if an unfavorable review got posted on GBACG's website). There are consultants who can run you through the process, but of course, this costs money. I would suggest contacting FIT or another school catering to the garment industry for further advice. Good luck! I hope you can translate your ideas into an innovative and profitable enterprise! --- Visit my homepage: http://pages.hotbot.com/travel/fire.fly On Thu, 24 Jun 1999 10:18:50 Margo Anderson wrote: > >-Poster: Margo Anderson > >I'm thinking of going into the pattern business.

A friend of mine, a museum curator in Dover, Delaware, is looking for two people to portray Ivanhoe and Rowena for an event this August. It is the opening of a show of original illustrations to the book created by Frank Schoonover, one of the Brandywine School of Howard Pyle (including N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, etc). It will not be a large event, but it does pay something. I don't know much more but, if anyone is interested, and feel they have the proper look and outfit (let's be honest here), I'd be happy to put them in touch with my friend. Please contact me off line at drickman@state.de.us. Thanks.

If so, you might be able to take the classes necessary to learn this. Even if they don't teach the patterning, you may be able to find a draftsman or artist who can do the technical drawings. Paying a student might be a good cheap alternative.

You can certainly do all of this, but it would be extremely expensive and will take years of study to use. I've been a professional draftsman for a number of years, and I can tell you that the equipment will run into the thousands of dollars. AutoCAD alone will be $2000-$4000 and a full-size digitizer, plotter, etc. will be about the same. You might be able to offset some of these costs by having a blueprint company do the conversion and plotting for you. See what service are available to you and weigh the costs in time and money before you make any decisions.

The Gerber site dosent list the parts seperately. Well Roy stevenson of the Eastman Machine Co. sell the components seperately. So that the 36X48 digitizer tablet is $2050. and the 36" plotter is $4500. These are Numonics Corp machines. Well then I linked out to their web site and from there I end up at Infology e-mail sales@infology.com. so they list the prices of the GTCO/CalComp and WACOM Digitizers and they list three large size digitizing tablets the 36X48 being the middle size. the minimum for digitizing large pattern parts. SUMMAGRID V 36X48 $1806. Also the Gridmaster flexible digitizing mats at only $949. for 20X24 the largest and weights only 12 oz. but this is'nt really large enough. One would then pay to have a marker ploteded out or print out pieces 8 1/2X11 and assemble. Using a simple cad drawing program is what I am thinking of putting the pattern parts into. The professional software programs that these systems use expensive probably take some time learning. More later; In 1982 I saw the Gunne Sax marker making procedure from when the pattern parts come from the designers made of stiff pattern paper these parts were digitized then manipulated in a application that arrange the parts to make the most efficient layout for the marker. They were able to grade with this Gerber software before the arrangeing process. regards Larry Kincaid StitchWitch wrote: > -Poster: "StitchWitch" > > > I'm thinking of going into the pattern business.

Dunlap" High tech is not the only way to go, I agree. The last pattern I bought (over the Web!) was from an Amish family company in Texas. They trace each pattern by hand with a common pencil and send it to you. It was $6.00. What more do you need? There are lots of people around who would welcome a job doing this sort of thing. Sure keeps your investment and your risk down! I personally think people should start printing their patterns on muslin. This way the fitting can occur directly on the pattern. Then the pattern lasts a while and is much more pleasant to work with too. You'd need to be careful of bias stretch with re-use, so perhaps a pellon pattern would be the compromise route to take.

If so, you might be able to take the classes necessary to learn this. Even if they don't teach the patterning, you may be able to find a draftsman or artist who can do the technical drawings. Paying a student might be a good cheap alternative.

You can certainly do all of this, but it would be extremely expensive and will take years of study to use. I've been a professional draftsman for a number of years, and I can tell you that the equipment will run into the thousands of dollars. AutoCAD alone will be $2000-$4000 and a full-size digitizer, plotter, etc. will be about the same. You might be able to offset some of these costs by having a blueprint company do the conversion and plotting for you. See what service are available to you and weigh the costs in time and money before you make any decisions.

Any waste, or is it all used? I was going to say "I don't know" since I didn't do the research, but I think some of this I can answer, based on the pictures she took (so remember, this is not a definative first hand account. The grain of the fabric appeasr to run from shoulder to hem, and the rear gores, at least, appear to also be vertical (which means that the pattern makes a slight angle shift where the gore meets the body of the garment. I can't say for the sleeve, but it sounds plasuible. Since this is just an estimate of what the pattern looks like. I can further estimate something based on this, but that would be little more than a guess on my part. But if you'd like, I can give it a shot.

Incidentally, there is also the issue of printing the patterns. Offset printing produces the highest quality results (blueprints change color over time). Personally, I'd say that if you want to just make patterns for yourself, or a few friends, very low tech (pencil and ruler) is not only the cheapest way to go, it's perfectly effective and efficient. I'm not putting down the quality of patterns people make in one- and two- of quantities. I'm just saying that when you get into printing quantities of patterns for strangers, your needs change. It's like the (good) advice someone gave about testing instructions. Hastily written instructions may work great if you're using them yourself; but paying customers may be unhappy with them. Anyway, it is true that it pays to shop around. Different vendors do not charge the same prices for equivalent (or even the same) equipment, or services. Also there is the question of whether it is cheaper in the long run to just buy the equipment and learn to do the work yourself, than to constantly pay vendors over time. This is the conclusion I came to. The only service I use vendors for now is offset printing. But although there are lots of options for starting a business--producing, as Margo wishes, a high-end product-- it does tend to involve more money and learning time than a hobby. Spending a few thousand dollars to start a business is not at all unrealistic. Spending several weeks exploring hardware and software options and a few more weeks learning to use what you bought is not unrealistic. The difficulties can be exaggerated though. I've digitized patterns with AutoCAD myself. Although AutoCAD is harder to use than a draw program (such as Corel Draw, which is what I use for drawing), it doesn't take "years" to learn. Most people could probably learn to do it in a few days of steady application. Fran --------------------------------------------- Visit our web pages!

I recently ordered a pattern that turned out to be a hand drawn outline, with wiggly lines, blueprinted, with no markings.

A few minutes with a French curve would have made a big difference in the perceived quality.

As I understand it, clothing sizes are standardized, based on a statistical survey of women being discharged from the Army in the late 40's. However, each and everyone of us who's ever tried on clothing in a store or made more than one pattern knows that this is a filthy lie. Obviously, every manufacturer and pattern company has its own whimsical sizing chart. What I wnat to do with my patterns is AT LEAST have measurements of bust and waist, and across the shoulders,and what size they correspond to on my chart. Of course, that doesn't mean a lot with some bodies. According to the measurement charts on some Simplicity patterns I recently bought, my bust , waist and hips are a size 28, but if I measure across my shoulders, they're a 14. Obviously, I need to do some alterations.

Almost nobody is average, or conforms to any industry standard size. IMO, if you want to test a pattern for a standard size use a dress form in that size, not a live person. However, well graded standard sizes do provide a good starting point for fitting. The larger pattern companies (Vogue, McCall's, etc.) actually have an agreement to all use the same size chart, although they reserve the right to add as much "style ease" to any pattern as they want. The smaller historical pattern companies do all seem to have their own size charts. Ready-to-wear manufacturers have never agreed to use standard sizing throughout the industry, or to use the same sizing as pattern companies. > > > What I wnat to do with my patterns is AT LEAST have measurements of bust and > waist, and across the shoulders,and what size they correspond to on my chart. If you plan to make the patterns easily alterable by people who are taller or shorter than average, it is also necessary to have the waistline of each piece marked, to say what the back-of-neck down to waistline measurement is, and to say what the sleeve length is from the shoulder point to the wrist. If the pattern fits tightly around the hips, it is also helpful to have the hip line marked. IMO, historical pattern companies are much more likely to allow for people having different circumference measurements, than different heights. For a skirt to be worn over a hoopskirt, bum roll, or bustle, it would also be helpful to say what the assumed height of the wearer is, from the waist to the bottom of the finished skirt. This cuts down on the "How much of this extra length is supposed to go over the bustle and how much do I need to cut off the pattern?" calculations.

Fabric club has a remnant bin, incidentally, nothing over $1.99 per yard, but I didn't see any 120" wide goods on the site. This supplier carries 120" (they call it 3-meter) and they go all the way up to 12-meter widths. No prices on-line, but you can e-mail them from the site with your question. For the 120" stuff, the bolt length is 65 yards, by the way, but they will cut. http://www.ushwy1.com/gerriets/muslin.html They cater to the theatre market, so there's lots of neat stuff there, like scene canvas, theatrical gauze, fabric for ballet floors, much more. Do consider your local codes and common sense re: fireproof materials for stage sets. Go back to the fabric Club help desk search engine to find the other suppliers. Curtain and drapery suppliers also carry very wide width fabric. Hope H.

What is the official underarm-to-waist length for a size twelve? or neck to shoulder measurement? There must be some sort of formula or database that Simplicity and Butterick use.

After that, stuff like neck curves & shoulder slopes must change. Having a gazillion sizes on one pattern sheet looks & is confusing....& kinda cheesy. Sizes should only be like 6-8-10 then another for 12-14-16 [actually 6-8, 10-12, 14-16....is better.] It means a better fit & looks more professional. Of course no pattern is perfect because everyone is different so a mockup must be recommended. I like to make mock ups out of something appropriate from the remnant table if $$$$ allows. Then, if it's not too cluttered with fitting changes, it can become a usable costume [perhaps for "servants" or for "undress"] as well as the "good" costume. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Jun 25 15:58:48 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA23414 for ; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 15:58:47 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA09353; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 15:08:38 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id PAA05777 for h-costume-outgoing; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 15:08:09 -0600 (MDT) Received: from mail-gw6.pacbell.net (mail-gw6.pacbell.net [206.13.28.41]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id PAA05745 for ; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 15:08:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pacbell.net (ppp-206-170-68-192.irvn11.pacbell.net [206.170.68.192]) by mail-gw6.pacbell.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA13203 for ; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 14:07:56 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <37738D71.3DB65649@pacbell.net> Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 14:08:52 +0000 From: Dietmar Organization: Completely Disorganized X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.04C-PBI-NC404 (Macintosh; I; PPC) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Re: The Pattern Biz References: <199906241718.KAA20902@zeus.directcon.net> <37727216.8E3C6D76@best.com> <3772CC30.239311B@pacbell.net> <3773BE22.5510E3E@best.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Dietmar Greetings, I had written: >> You can certainly do all of this, but it would be extremely >> expensive and will take years of study to use.

It may not take years to learn the basics, but it can be confusing and frustrating to those less technologically inclined. It may also be entirely unnecessary.

I know this is not the norm but with these waist synching corseted periods it looks ideal. Get the waist right & pad up the bust a little [and hips too if it's bustle] Why not? They did back then. You can get that tight corseted look without killing the actress. For everyday stuff a 6" to 8" difference is more normal. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Jun 25 16:19:17 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA23738 for ; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 16:19:16 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA12088; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 15:29:15 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id PAA09596 for h-costume-outgoing; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 15:28:48 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo27.mx.aol.com (imo27.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.71]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id PAA09575 for ; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 15:28:42 -0600 (MDT) From: ArcadiaCB@aol.com Received: from ArcadiaCB@aol.com by imo27.mx.aol.com (IMOv20.21) id 6PROa24185 (2619) for ; Fri, 25 Jun 1999 17:27:59 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 17:27:59 EDT Subject: H-COST: Re: patterns To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: ArcadiaCB@aol.com A good second to the idea of an envelope large enough to get that pattern in after its cut, but even better yet--particularily for a historic garment pattern in multiple sized that will be used many times--one of those plastic coated envelopes that won't rip out at the sides from many uses. After I loaned to a friend a pattern which I had used many times and the envelope was in shreds, when she returned it, she had covered the envelope with clean contact paper to hold it together. I then went and did that with all of my historical patterns (some I had to add little bits to the original envelope so there was something for the contact paper to stick to). I also went to the office supply store and found large white envelopes that already had some sort of plastic coating. These I use to keep my "drafted-up" patterns and altered patterns. So I add my vote for sturdy patterns and envelopes, clear, illustrated instructions and documentation, documentation, documentation.

Yes, mainstream pattern companies have agreed upon one standard to use. Yes, every body is different and may or may not need to alter the pattern. But we do need a place to start. Yes, the Vogue Pattern website is a great resource for someone trying to learn which pattern size they should purchase. However, you have asked for a standard sloper size chart with a lot of detail (e.g., underarm-to-waist length for a size twelve) which is not provided at the Vogue website (I'm not sure about the book previously mentioned). I have a "standard" measurement chart listing every conceivable measurement for women's size 6 - 18. Anyone who would like copies of this as well as diagrams of where to measure on the body can email me directly. You will need to be able to open a JPEG file on your computer. Anyone who cannot open JPEG's can email their snail mail address and I will mail them copies. Otherwise, you can find this particular chart in "Patternmaking for Fashion Design" by Helen Joseph Armstrong. It is a textbook, so you will find this as a special order for $72 on Amazon. I would like to reiterate that this is merely one version of the supposed standard and seems to coincide with the average clothing manufacturer. Hope I can be of help to those interested.

Please don't think I'm accusing you of not knowing this . . . but to avoid confusion, scanning and digitizing do not produce the same results. Digitizing produces vector graphics you can change mathematically. For example if one size pattern is digitized, you can grade additional sizes on a computer. Scanning produces a bit map picture that can't be operated on in the same ways. The resulting files are bigger--with a scan, white space counts as file space; with vector graphics it doesn't.

I maintain a true shoulder measurement and flare out from the point of the shoulder. If I wanted more pronounced pleats across the chest, i might cut the shoulders straight accross or even slope the up from the neck, instead of down from the neck as in a standard upper body pattern. I find that this gives full, lush pleats that fall perfectly. For fabric, I favour silk brocade (surprise?) or velvet, cut or figured velvet, wool, heavier linen (damask?!), cord-du-roi, whatever was available and is max-rich. wasn't the point to show off how much rich fabric you coauld afford? Silk brocade lined with a different silk brocade and trimmed with a third, different silk brocade, with a hat in another brocade.....

What Fran said - for any mainstream pattern (Vogue, Simplicity, etc.) I need to add at least 3 inches length above the waist (neck to waist is 19.5") and at least 6" in length below(I'm 5'11"). > Of course, that doesn't mean a lot with some bodies.

Obviously, I need to do some alterations. Do you know about using the high bust measurement (chest above bust) instead of full bust to find your pattern size? This will give a more accurate fit in the neck and shoulders. Pattern alterations for a full bust are easier than neck and shoulders. By high bust, I am a 16-18, but by full bust, I'm a 24 and they hang like sacks at that size. Enough for now.

I think its purpose is to provide a consistent starting point so that sewers have an understanding of how they are going to have to alter patterns on a consistent basis. Patterns that conform to these standards should never require sewing a muslin, because an experienced sewer will look at the amount of ease and alter the pattern appropriately before cutting out the fashion fabric. And that leads me to my big irritation, which I mentioned before: pattern drafters being limited by their own figure flaws. When they compensate for that, they are making patterns that really only fit folks like them--and leading those who expect a norm of alteration into a quandry. For instance, take your own example: Mode Bagatelle. As a relatively small person, I ended up having to completely redraft a bodice for one of the garments for their artistic reform teagown. I could tell that the pattern had been made by someone who probably had a much larger figure and hadn't graded the pattern down to the standard proportions of a smaller person. If it had been set to the standard sloper, however, I could have easily altered the pattern to suit my own figure irregularities without completely redrafting it. Altering is an advanced sewing skill--but is a necessary one if you want to avoid complete frustration or the task of sewing endles (oftern wasteful muslin prototypes. Now that I have that off my chest, I'm heading out to the yard--it's too gorgeous a Saturday to hang out banging the computer all day!

I understand it in theory, but how do you find out what size high bust that pattern is? Do the pattern companies have it on those charts in the back of the book? When I do alter a commercial pattern,. I use the measurement across the front, from the creases of the armpit. Is this what you mean by high bust measurement? I rarely buy commercial patterns from the big companies. . The only reason I bought the latest one is that, after doing extensive research and starting to draft up a pattern for an 1880's wrapper, I ran across a Simplicity pattern (#8755) that was perfect, except fo the back zipper which I changed to a front buttoned placket.

I went to college with a girl who was used as the model for garments fo one of the local clothing companies (which had a wide distribution area). She was the same clothing size as me, but totally different in shape and height. Also she didn't strike me as being particularly balanced or typical in shape enough that a clothing company would have chosen her to represent the typical woman's figure! (Ok sounds harsh - but!) I wonder who makes these decisions sometimes! Another piece of this is that in shopping malls in Mexico, I notice the majority of the clothes are petite and much smaller sized. Cultural differences obviously have to be taken into consideration if you want to sell a product! As a petite myself, (and glad for petite lines of clothes) sometimes dresses in this country that are not "petite" look enormous on the rack. (I don't remember it being so bad in Britain)! I think some clothing companies in the past have done a half way decent job of offering some range in fit, e.g. waist to hip differences - full, narrow, etc. for pants and skirts, but generally I find off the rack clothes I see on people who are a little disproportionate (especially heavier folk) fit badly. Such things make me very glad that that I know how to sew and alter my own stuff. :-) With the Simplicity et al patterns, I know pretty well now how to accomodate for my lack of inches and pear shape, even if they use models like the girl mentioned above as a basis for the patterns!

This is exactly why I used the standardized sloper data when I made up my Regency Gown pattern. I kept hearing from intermediate seamstresses who wanted to be able to make a dress and rely on the measurements given on the pattern envelope -- as you can do with almost all Vogue, McCalls, etc. patterns. I have a "funny" figure myself, since I am very high waisted, but I can compensate for that without making the pattern impossible for every other figure shape. The LMB pattern, as nice as it is, is frustrating to use, since I always have to alter it drastically to fit properly. It runs too large, and the measurement chart doesn't accurately reflect the sizes drafted in the pattern. I still enjoy using it, but I've never met an intermediate seamstress who could tackle it without a lot of help. Though it is less accurate to use the modern standardized slopers, it is easy enough to custom-fit something on the person or the mannequin to compensate, and you can end up with a very nice, well-fitted end result. The gals who kept asking me to make my gown pattern available told me they wanted something that looked right but was comfortable to wear and easy to make. A lot of people who order "costume" patterns are in the same boat -- they don't necessarily want historical accuracy, but they do want to look "period" and not have to put up with a lot of hassle in the process. Interesting thread. I've enjoyed it!

Susan Fatemi ------------------------------------------------------ from: Hi Susan, I co-own a business called Well Dressed Publications. My partner, Lynda Braden, and I, assist designers to self-publish their patterns. We provide a whole range of services -- we have a contact that can draft/grade the patterns for you and print them on vellum. We broker the print services with the pattern printing company. We provide a pattern test (i.e. do the notches match, are all of the pieces printed, do the seams match, etc.), we provide instruction writing and editing services, we provide graphic design and layout for the envelopes and instruction sheets, and we provide technical drawings for the instruction sheets. Additionally, I have my own business where I can help you market your patterns -- press releases, ad campaigns, brochures, web sites, etc. Our current client list includes Fred Bloebaum (we did everthing for her first pattern "The Athena Blouse"), Gale Grigg Hazen (we are redo her current patterns) and Sandy Scrivano (we are working with her to do suede and leather patterns). We have done some pieces of Lyla Messingers (LJ Designs) patterns as well. We quote based on the complexity of the pattern and the services you require.

I'd agree about the "something that won't clash with your colorful-costume", but you want something the quality and taste of which will be obviously apparent to the sophisticated reader, and subliminally apparent to the less worldly-- and that's the way YOU want to feel about what you're wearing, too!

The "style ease" aspect gives me screaming fits. I think some of the pattern companies have been adding "style ease" to bring their sizes more in line with ready-to-wear, regardless of what their measurement chart says. On the last couple of mainstream patterns I've used, I chose the size closest to my measurements and still ended up having to cut the work in progress down by a couple of inches on styles that were supposed to be close-fitting. That'll teach me not to cut the pattern out without thoroughly investigating whether it's supposed measurements bear any resemblence to reality. I don't mind having to make minor adjustments to suit my own figure, but this business of practically having to redraft the whole pattern is for the birds.

Hello Henk!

Do you have pics of these garments up somewhere?
Before you branch out to the States, you could also help with giving people here in
Germany advice how to improve on their clothing for medieval markets ;-)!

These pages are the costume guidelines for the Guild of Saint George, the group that portrays the Court and their attendants at the Renaissance Pleasure Faires. My own favorite for middle and merchant class is pinkes and cuttes, which just don't get used enough, IMHO.

I'd suggest not tryung to follow "standardised" sizes - the commercial pattern companies seem to follow their own variations on the sizes/measurements anyway (a few years ago I found four differing sets of measurements that claimed to corresponsd to "standard" American clothing sizes) Better (in my opinion) to do a measurement chart on each envelope so people can pick the size that corresponds best to their own measurements. Tips on which measurements are the best starting point for which garments/style would be useful to if you have space for them (e.g. it's better to go by bust measurement when picking the pattern size for a Regency gown, than to start with the pattern in a size that fits your hips....) Also, have a mind to foreign customers. Even leaving aside the problems with "standard" sizes in the US, they don't actually correspond to the sizes in the UK.... I noticed recently while looking at the excellent La Mode Bagatelle Regency pattern that the person I was planning to make a dress for (normally a UK size 8 or 10) was smaller than the smallest size offered on the patterns. > Different construction options for ease vs historical acurracy.

Embroidery in a wool or wool-silk was used rather than gold or silver thread. "Guards" became more and more of a servant/lowerclass clothing iten in the last decades of the 16th century,and were on the whole less elaborately embroidered than the guards found on upper-class gowns. So a merchant class version of the Eleanora of Toledo gown could certainly be embroidered; but not with a metallic thread, and the pattern would perhaps be simpler in nature. Couched cord could be used instead. Good luck, Drea On Mon, 28 Jun 1999, Andrea Gideon wrote: > > -Poster: "Andrea Gideon" > > I guess I should have been more specific.

This is a mail order Amish supply company, and their prices for most fabrics meet or beat Wal-Mart (i.e. very inexpensive), though it doesn't seem to be reflected in this particular price. Their phone number is (219) 825-2400. Buying 50 yards seems like a wholesale order to me. Does that mean 50% off the prices above would be standard wholesale? 120" muslin is a standard size for curtains and drapes, so try a small curtain and drape manufacturer in your area perhaps for the best deal. Boston's fabric district is also a possible source for discount or wholesale fabric, around and throughout Chinatown. Hope H.

Well, we went through the whole discussion about whether linen was appropriate last year (I saved the posts, and could copy them to you if you want.) The conclusion seemed to be that, while we don't have any documentation for linen gowns, it's a reasonable compromise. I think my black linen looks great, and it's ceratainly the most comfortable upper class costume I've ever worn. As for the embroidery, I think that if you don't use "rich" materials such as metallic threads, and if your merchant character is sufficiently wealthy enoough to either have the leisure time to embroider that much or the cash to pay someone else to, it would be just fine, and a welcome change from the usual miles-of-trim look.

I think it turned out great! -- Megan Irvine Course Developer, Educational Services (412) 201-3520, Rm. 1741 _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 28 10:36:59 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA20040 for ; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 10:36:58 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA22041; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 09:46:13 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id JAA23843 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 09:45:09 -0600 (MDT) Received: from scorpion.netspace.net.au (scorpion.netspace.net.au [203.10.110.106]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id JAA23690 for ; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 09:44:37 -0600 (MDT) Received: from whirlwind.netspace.net.au (whirlwind.netspace.net.au [203.10.110.70]) by scorpion.netspace.net.au (8.9.1/8.9.1/NS) with ESMTP id BAA11420 for ; Tue, 29 Jun 1999 01:44:32 +1000 (EST) Received: from netspace.net.au.netspace.net.au (dialup-t1-247.Melbourne.netspace.net.au [210.15.250.247]) by whirlwind.netspace.net.au (8.9.3/8.9.1/NS) with ESMTP id BAA14749 for ; Tue, 29 Jun 1999 01:44:30 +1000 (EST) Message-Id: <199906281544.BAA14749@whirlwind.netspace.net.au> From: "Christopher Ballis" To: Subject: H-COST: Costume Ball Australia Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 01:07:55 +1000 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1155 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: "Christopher Ballis" Tickets for the Fourth Annual Costumers Ball of the Australian Costumers' Guild are not on sale.

(Men's sizes are, however.) The "big three" pattern companies have standardized sizes, but each uses a slightly different basic sloper, so the fit is not precisely the same. The basic measurements are available in all catalogues, sewing books, and, I think, websites, although you might have to search a little more for the more arcane measurements, like underarm length.

I'm afraid I'mm still too busy to finish our internetsite; in the near future I'll have to ask somebody to do it for us. I don't seem to be able to find the time... Before you branch out to the States, you could also help with giving people here in Germany advice how to improve on their clothing for medieval markets ;-)! I could, but our costume brochure should then be translated into German: a lot of work! Anyway, I'll have to do some revising on it, because since the last three years I again learned a lot about 13th c costume. The book by Ulrich Lehnart (Kleidung und Waffen, etc.) is rather good; better than any I have seen so far. It only gives information on costume for the nobility and knights, though. Perhaps I should do one for the common people. But where will I get the time?

Is it as a kind of decoration? What period are you referring to? Many modern stays have reinforced casings on the outside of the garment which hold the bones and are considered decorative. Some of these cover seams, but many do not. They can also be seen on late 19th and early 20th century sport corsets. From what I can tell these were used in place of the more usual integral casings which are not possible in a corset which has one layer of fabric for health reasons (mostly heat/breathability). Nearly *all* other examples of corsets that I have seen from this period have integral (channels sewn thru several layers of fabric that make up the corset) rather than applied casings. These may be what you are referring to. It was a common practice to stitch a strip of thin (1/8-1/4 inch wide) braid over the seamlines of 17th and 18th century corsets, possibly to reinforce or simply to protect the seaming stitches. On the more opulent examples, these are quite decorative, but they are seen also on more humbe examples and so may be seen to be possibly functional. These may also be what you are referring to. Which do you mean?

Is it as a kind of decoration? I've studied 18th century stays. I haven't seen bias tape, instead it's a regular woven tape that covers the vertical seams. The tape can be plain & white, and I've also seen colors. Sometimes the tape is also applied as a decoration on the front of the stays in a criss-cross or ladder pattern. It looks sort of like lacing, even though the stays that have this lace only in the back. Stays are made of several panels, and the panels are whipstitched together with heavy thread. Perhaps the reason for the tape over the seams is to hide the stitching. The whipstitched vertical seams may have been a way to make the stays easy to alter. Another theory is that the panels would have been made up ahead of time, and then assembled for each particular client. In either case, this construction technique is very consistent. -Carol Kocian _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 28 17:56:00 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id RAA27686 for ; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 17:55:59 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA09360; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 17:05:10 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id RAA23741 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 17:04:19 -0600 (MDT) Received: from imo15.mx.aol.com (imo15.mx.aol.com [198.81.17.5]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id RAA23714 for ; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 17:04:13 -0600 (MDT) From: AlbertCat@aol.com Received: from AlbertCat@aol.com by imo15.mx.aol.com (IMOv20.21) id 6SZTa09302 (14395) for ; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 19:03:23 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <3fa425d2.24a9593b@aol.com> Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 19:03:23 EDT Subject: Re: H-COST: stays To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 13 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: AlbertCat@aol.com In a message dated 6/28/99 4:15:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time, rio@austin.rr.com writes: << Many modern stays have reinforced casings on the outside of the garment which hold the bones and are considered decorative. >> Also [this goes for 19th century stays too] The best [only?] way to get a straight bone on a curved seam is to sew the seam up a put the casing for the bone over it...straddling the curved seam.

The embroidery was on the inside and I guess is there to reinforce the bottom of each casing. I recall this black 1890s corset with burnt orange embroidery (very pretty). My question about stays... I keep reading that during this or that fashion period, tight lacing was not fashionable as in the past. I have read articles referring to this in 1864, 1895, and 1908. The articles speak of "the ill effects" but never state what these effects were. When was tight lacing fashionable (dates) and what were the ill effects?

Kohler also did not seem to pick up that many of the garments seen in allegories as fanciful or exaggerated versions of then-current dress were imaginary. 2) He did have access to original garments which were destroyed by theatre use (which might include horrible alterations before Kohler got them) and possibly (in the cases of a few cited museum pieces seen nowhere else and not since WW2 - this I may be wrong about, but I think my mom pointed one or two out to me when she was studying modern German history for a writing project - any confirmations?) lost in the wars. Certainly none of the theatre 'costume' historical garments were conserved that I have been able to find. This is just my opinion, and cannot be quantified. However, if anyone knows of any theatre costume collection garments studied by Kohler (and possibly photographed for his book) that have survived in a museum or collection, I would be curious to see what sort of shape they are in, what sort of alterations they have gone through, etc. Margery ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There is no spoon~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {*to reply take "spambegone" from my reply-to address*} _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Jun 28 19:47:45 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA29708 for ; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 19:47:45 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA24897; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 18:57:17 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id NAA18406 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 13:17:41 -0600 (MDT) Received: from public.ndh.com (public.ndh.net [194.97.97.21]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id NAA18375 for ; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 13:17:32 -0600 (MDT) Received: from Andrea (port049.koeln.ndh.net [195.94.92.49]) by public.ndh.com (8.8.7/8.8.0) with ESMTP id VAA08232 for ; Mon, 28 Jun 1999 21:17:27 +0200 (MET DST) Message-ID: <37779DD9.B8DA1C01@ndh.net> Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 18:07:54 +0200 From: Andrea Clef X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [de] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "h-costume@indra.com" Subject: H-COST: Re:Ivanhoe and Rowena X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------D3CEA2ECC31C4D66927AAAE2" Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Andrea Clef --------------D3CEA2ECC31C4D66927AAAE2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > I could, but our costume brochure should then be translated into German: a > lot of work!

I could, but our costume brochure should then be translated into German: a
lot of work! Anyway, I'll have to do some revising on it, because since the
last three years I again learned a lot about 13th c costume.
Do you also have an English version of your brochure?How many pages does it have?
If you have it in English and it doesn´t consist of hundreds of pages, I could try an
amateur translation into German ;-), so it could be made available to some of the
German groups... 
The book by Ulrich Lehnart (Kleidung und Waffen, etc.) is rather good;
better than any I have seen so far. It only gives information on costume
for the nobility and knights, though. Perhaps I should do one for the
common people. But where will I get the time?
Yes, I also thought that this book is better than most others, I recommended it hereon the list some months ago.
It`s only unfortunate that it`s only available in German so far.
I`m more interested in the female clothing and the pics are good but the descriptions
aim more at male dress, that`s one disadvantage to me...
I´m still waiting for the next two books from this author, about the early and late
medieval periods.

Many greetings,
Diana

If the bias tape is especially stiff, I would steam press it (use a damp press cloth to prevent the boning from marking the outer fabric and the bias tape) carefully. The heat and steam will help it shape to the edge of the stay.

I agree with the assesment. it is still one of my staples, as teh text is good (Kohler was a decent scholar, after all). I feel I should clarify what I meant by theatrical garments, however. He mentions in the acknowledgements (or it is mentioned in the introduction written by his assistant) that the original garments came from several private/musem collections and also from theatre companies. The garments in question were not 'costumes' until acquired by the theatre companies for that purpose, just old clothes. This is a very old practice and is how most theatre companies got their costumes for at least 300 years. They *are* original pieces, but may have been altered so many times for theatrical use that they have a non-period cut by the time they are shown in the book.

If you have a business and a retail tax number, you can buy fabric and trims from a distributor. A distributor is like a big warehouse full of fabric, etc. from many manufacturers. You have to buy in whole bolts (15-50 yards), or in boxes or dozens, whatever, for notions. But the over-all minimum purchase is not very high. You can buy just one bolt of fabric. For a small business, such as costuming, this is ideal. Distributors are open 5 days a week, and there are lots of them all around the country. However, their prices are a bit higher than buying direct from the manufacturer. Well, they need to get a profit, too. If you will be buying enough quantity to meet the minimums of a manufacturer, you can get a bit better price. Problem is, you can't buy just one or two bolts. And to order, you need to make contact, which means having their sales rep call on you, or finding their booth at a trade show. They are not eager to deal with small-time customers, and may not want to deal with you if you don't have a store front. For most of us, the best option for cheap fabric is a fabric outlet. Around here we have Mill End Textiles. in Minneapolis there is a very large place, SR Harris Fabric Outlet. These places buy left overs from various sources at rock bottom prices. You can't special order anything, what you see is what you get. The help is not usually knowledgable about the fabric, and it may be mislabeled. But if you know what you're looking at, you can get some very good buys.

So then I poked around the Internet for a few minutes and found about 3 mentions of Henry Justice Ford. He's described as a late "Victorian fairy painter", basically with Pre-Raphaelite influences. (the VFPs' heyday was apparently ca. 1830's, the Pre-Rs more like 1880s) I found two principal sites, one from an unpublished dissertation by an art professor; pretty good stuff, LOTS of background, Ford stuff is in the last section... >http://www.stg.brown.edu/projects/hypertext/landow/victorian/art/fairy/ras1.h tm l > >Art to Enchant: The Development of Victorian Fairy Painting -- This catalogue essay is >partially based upon my unpublished dissertation, "Art to Enchant: A Critical Study of Early >Victorian Fairy Painting and Illustration," Brown University, 1988, by Richard A.

Corset and Easy Renn. Bodice. On both patterns they tell you to take your underarm to waist measurement and subtract 2 1/2 - 3 inches, and then compare that measurement to the pattern'a underarm measurement - and then shorten/lengthen as necessary. My question: my underarm measurement (as far as I can tell) is 9". If I subtract 3" for the corset, that puts me to 6". The pattern's measurement is 9". So, am I correct in that I have to shorten the corset by 3"? This just seems like a lot to me. (No, I haven't tried mocking it up yet, this is my first shot at it, and I didn't want to be completely frustrated at midnight tonight trying to get this all together. Also, I need to order my stays today so I can have them this week.)

You might try 'The History of Vanity', author I have forgotten and it's packed, but oh well. It is a very interesting book, overviewing many subjects in many eras.

Does anyone know of a book dealer from whom I might order this particular book (e.g. one which
       specializes in German books, or a German dealer)?  My German is rusty, but for a good book, I'd be
       willing to give it a whirl.

I don`t know about a dealer who sells this book internationally but I have alreadyordered and sent it to someone from the States here on this list.
I would do it again and accept dollars as payment.
The book costs 43,-DM (about $ 24) and the shipping would have to be added.

Their pricing is quite a bit higher than Wal-Mart, which has it for $6.23/yard cut. But they do have flame retardant muslin and the extra extra wide widths which could be a plus. I don't know if this includes shipping.

The curvy part goes to the back of the arm, like the open oversleeve in the portrait of Lettice Knollys shown in many elizabethan costume books. I believe the bottom two pattern pieces are the front and the back of the skirt, with the back turned upside down to save space. I don't know why there's no bodice pattern pieces; there's none for the men, either. This book was sort of put together piecemeal, not designed as a pattern layout book like Alcega's was. It's a shame, but the color pictures are worth it. :) Drea On Tue, 29 Jun 1999, Hope H. Dunlap wrote: > > -Poster: "Hope H.

As I said, I'm not 100 % satisfied with it anymore and besides that: it wasn't meant for re-enactors but for people who want to have a better kind of costume at a 1250-1300 event; for amateurs, that is, and the patterns were meant for amateur sewers as well.

It`s only unfortunate that it`s only available in German so far. I read and speak German rather fluently; writing it is another thing though ;-) I`m more interested in the female clothing and the pics are good but the descriptions aim more at male dress, that`s one disadvantage to me... IŽm still waiting for the next two books from this author, about the early and late medieval periods. This should be interesting...

It did not fit me, my sister, or the maid of honor for my wedding without taking off a minimum of 1 1/2 inches per person!! Also, the stay lengths they tell you on the pattern are about one-half inch too long.

Would you cut 2, sew them together on the short flat edge at left bottom, sew the top right of the "handgrip" together, and then fit the left end into the armscythe, putting the first seam on top of the upper arm? Just guessing, but would like an expert to confirm. Despite the lack of bodice pieces, the images are "worth their weight." Colors so vivid--gosh, a vogue pattern envelope of 70 years ago doesn't look so vivid and clear!Thanks, Hope H.

The curvy part goes to the back of the arm, like the open oversleeve in the portrait of Lettice Knollys shown in many elizabethan costume books. I believe the bottom two pattern pieces are the front and the back of the skirt, with the back turned upside down to save space. I don't know why there's no bodice pattern pieces; there's none for the men, either. This book was sort of put together piecemeal, not designed as a pattern layout book like Alcega's was. It's a shame, but the color pictures are worth it. :) Drea On Tue, 29 Jun 1999, Hope H. Dunlap wrote: > > -Poster: "Hope H.

Well Henk, if you could find the time and energy to expand your group to the U.S., there are quite a few of us that would be happy to help as best we can. I know that I'd love to see your costuming booklet, whether in English or not. I don't speak Dutch, but I'd be willing to help translate too, if we can find someone nearby that speaks Dutch.

Diana was kind enough to help me get a copy (my father was in Germany to pick it up), so I'm betting that I have the only copy in North America. :-) I'll add my vote...this is a great book. More comprehensive than any others I've seen, and very period specific. There were some flyers included with the book and they indicate that the publisher, Kerfunkel Verlag, has a website: www.kerfunkel.de I've poked around the site a little and I noticed that they indicate a price of 42-DM. You can get to this by choosing the "Karfunkel-Shop" link and then the link marked "Bücher im Karfunkel-Verlag". You might try buying from the publisher directly. They didn't seem to offer international sales, so you'll have to send them an E-mail. My knowledge of German is pretty good, but it doesn't extend into the jargon of publishing and electronic money transfer, so I'd ask Diana for some help (besides, she's nice ;-). If she can't help you, I'll do what I can. BTW, nice article in TI Susan. Good luck, Dietmar "Victory or Defeat rests in God's hands; over Honor, we ourselves are Lord and Master." _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Jun 29 14:11:07 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA14990 for ; Tue, 29 Jun 1999 14:11:06 -0400 Received: from indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA29484; Tue, 29 Jun 1999 13:21:08 -0600 (MDT) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) id NAA05772 for h-costume-outgoing; Tue, 29 Jun 1999 13:20:44 -0600 (MDT) Received: from public.ndh.com (public.ndh.net [194.97.97.21]) by indra.com (8.8.5/Spike-8-1.1) with ESMTP id NAA05752 for ; Tue, 29 Jun 1999 13:20:39 -0600 (MDT) Received: from Andrea (port114.koeln.ndh.net [195.94.92.114]) by public.ndh.com (8.8.7/8.8.0) with ESMTP id VAA17218 for ; Tue, 29 Jun 1999 21:20:35 +0200 (MET DST) Message-ID: <3778063A.2699048C@ndh.net> Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 01:33:15 +0200 From: Andrea Clef X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.01 [de] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "h-costume@indra.com" Subject: H-COST: Re:German book X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------EFBFD2FC82711B6A4CEA9D47" Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: O -Poster: Andrea Clef --------------EFBFD2FC82711B6A4CEA9D47 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > Try the German division of http://www.Amazon.com.

Also, Windsor Castle has some early needlework in various places in the state rooms. Hatfield House, just north of London, also has a few pieces, including a purse associated with James I. Museum of Costume at the Assembly Rooms in Bath doesn't have anything medieval, but has fantastic later stuff. The Strangers Hall collection in Norwich is now at Carrow House and has an excellent collection. Many smaller local and house museums have wonderful examples, but you just have to try each one to see what they have.

Very few of the other museums had that sort of thing. However, Hever castle, Windsor castle, Hampton Court Palace and the Nottingham Costume and Textile museum did have a lot of needlework, including canvas work. They don't have much medieval, however (unlike the V&A.) Even so, the V&A has the most. Can you say bargello! I was amazed and thrilled to see it, because it was pre-16th C for many of the pieces. Also, you can pull out the trays (which stand in the middle of the room) to look at and to put on study tables. You're even allowed to photograph them with flash. (Some of the warders don't have the new info on that, but they can call their boss and find out that it is ok. Don't be intimidated by them. They are really very nice but they try to follow rules that have sometimes changed.) Most of the others mentioned don't allow photography, let alone flash photography, however. I didn't get to Ireland, so I have no info there. (Although there are places in Northern England that I'd like to get to next time I have the chance.) Have fun! (I can't wait to go back!)

I have a book about the British Royal Jewels, including the stuff at the Tower, but also other things like necklaces etc. Except for a few pieces, I was dissapointed to learn, most of them come from the last 200 years or so. On further reading I learned that Oliver Cromwell in fact destroyed and melted down a lot of the gold and jewelry that had been used by British royalty and the like prior to this. My question then is this, although it's accessories, or emblems of state rather than true "costumes" does anyone on the list know if any royal jewelry that did survive from the Middle Ages in Europe? - and in particular in Britain? If so, where may it be found (i.e. where is it displayed - is there anything on the web? and, How old are the oldest pieces still with us? Anyone? In a way this is more of an archeology question, but then again, costumes and other things people wore are part of that too are they not?

I have a museum book from them that has some nice stuff though it's from a few years ago. The updated version would be better. Try emailing them, I think there online. Sorry I don't have their address. I was there a few years ago, and, WOW. I was flabbergasted. And the tapestries, they look like they were made yesterday.

They are located in Edinburgh castle. There is the crown, sword of state and other regalia. It was hidden and spirited away from Cromwell for many years and was actually found in a chest not too long ago where it had lain forgotten. This is probably your best bet as to surviving Royal jewellery from the British Isles. You could also visit the Victoria & Albert jewellery department they have quite a collection of medieval jewellery that may give you an idea of the techniques that would have been used on the Royal jewels.

On further reading I learned that Oliver Cromwell in fact destroyed and melted down a lot of the gold and jewellery that had been used by British royalty and the like prior to this. My question then is this, although it's accessories, or emblems of state rather than true "costumes" does anyone on the list know if any royal jewellery that did survive from the Middle Ages in Europe? - and in particular in Britain? If so, where may it be found (i.e. where is it displayed - is there anything on the web? and, How old are the oldest pieces still with us? Anyone? During the early part of the middle ages,It might also be known that many of the jewels used in the coronation ceremony (i.e. in the crown) were often borrowed from wealthy landowners (dukes, barons, and such) to make up the crown. And then given back after the ceremony. The Victoria and Albert has a wonderful jewellery department. there are several pieces of medieval jewellery though not necessarily owned by the crown. Though the first time I visited in 83, there was a necklace (early 16th century) that had been on loan from the Queen. The next time I went it wasn't there.

Hi there -- I made a mock-up of the AlterYears Easy Elizabethan corset with tabs earlier this year, and after making the recommended adjustment for the side, I felt it was too short, so I just pretty much kept the length "as-is", added a bit to the front, 'cause I thought it was a bit to short there. It came out okay, it was easy except for turning the tabs inside out. However, I found I preferred Drea Leed's Elizabethan Corset generator pattern *very* much. It was easy to draft for the instructions (even for a drafting-phobe like me!) and I liked the way it came out. No affiliation, etc, YMMV, and all that. Here's the URL, in case you're interested: http://www.dnaco.net/~aleed/corsets/general.html I'm just now putting the finishing touches on the bodice (AlterYear's side-lacing bodice pattern); it went together fairly well, make sure you measure the pattern before cutting fabric, I found it ran large. I had to fiddle with the back skirting a bit, but other than that, it was great. I'd definitely use this one again.

He is going for accuracy and I have researched and designed an appropriate suit. The problem is he has mentioned several times about the "fly" and I am afraid I may not be understanding him. Here is what he wrote: "What I am looking for in the fly was described in the book "Cheaper by the Dozen" as a "a little flap, like the tongue of a shoe sewn on sideways, that served as a fly in the front of the trousers" What I assume is meant is a semicircular piece of cloth attached to one side of the fly (the right side) and covering sufficient area to ensure modesty but not too much to be awkward to use." Is this just a regular fly or is it something different? Does anyone have a picture or a different explanation for what this gentleman may be looking for? I am losing my mind with this small detail and want to get it right. Please help!

Yes there are Appraisal Societies: Ms. Marilyn Rudden, International Society of Appraisers, 9900 Harrogate Rd, Bethesda MD 20817, 301-469-9437 or American Society of Appraisers located in Washinton DC (sorry I don't have phone #) Both of these will have listing of people in the local areas and they are usually catagorized by their specialty. Check yellow pages under appraisers - this is more time consuming since many do not list their specialty. Some other thoughts: Many universities have appraisal programs - not sure if they cover the costume area - but might be aninexpensive or free way to get an appraisal - especially is a student could use doing it as a project. in the DC area George Washington University has such a program and it is run by Bruce Schuettinger 202-973-1107. Final suggestion is to contact the major museum in your area - talk to costume curator. Some museums do appraising or keep lists of people who do.

I'm glad you started this thread! :-) I'm hoping someone can add their knowledge on this. Our faire is set in 1590-1595. I generally wear a grey felt hat (started as a lady's fedora style at the goodwill shop.I steamed it to have a round crown, and then rolled one side of the brim, added a pin and plumes) with my costume. It has no specific class, but I would venture to call it upper-class peasant (grey and burgundy colors/patterns are coordinated, layered skirts, boned bodice, etc). I love my hat for several reasons--it provides shade to my fair skin and is mostly waterproof. I put a mob cap under it as a snood to hide the fact that I have really short hair. Is this a period style/class appropriate hat? I'm also working on my first middle/merchant class gown of fabulous upholstery materials. I've seen some of our faire participants wearing an attifet (spelling?) or Mary Queen of Scots hat with their costumes. When and for whom would this style of hat be appropriate? I love the shape and would very much like to make one to go with my gown but have not been able to locate a pattern for a hat novice. Any suggestions? I've also considered a tall crowned, small brimmed hat similar to a man's hat. Any thoughts on this? Thanks so much for any input.

One I know! First you need rags...actually strips about one-half to one inch wide and about seven inches long (at least that's what *I've* used! ). Take a section of hair, about one inch wide. Center the rag at the end of the section of hair and begin rolling the hair around it. Keep going until you reach the scalp and then tie off the rag. I did this for my first wedding....of course, with my baby fine hair the curls lasted about 1/2 an hour (with one full can of heavy duty hair spray!!) but they looked good for that half hour and were much more comfortable to sleep in than pin curls.

They were especially popular with the women when riding, traveling, or hunting. The toque was a small flat cap which appear to have been pinned to the womans heads in some way. If you've seen Shakespeare In Love, the scene where she is on horseback, shows an example of the hat I'm talking about. This hat can be constructed by pleating a circular piece of material (12-15 inches) to a 2-3 inch circular brim. Another popular hat of this era was the Elizabethan Tall Hat. It was also worn by both men and women of nobility and the upper-middle class. It consisted of a circular piece of material pleated to a 2-3 inch brim as well, however a wire frame or buckram were added in order for the hat to hold it's tall shape. I've made both of these hats and can tell you that they are very easy to construct. These are some sources you may want to check if you are interested in either of these hats.

There are records of a servantwoman being given a felted hat in the late 16th century, and de Heere's sketch of london gentlewomen shows a fishwife wearing a flat-topped tall hat with a slightly curving brim. (http://www.dnaco.net/~aleed/corsets/gallery/middle-wmn.html) From the 1570s on, men and women's toques (flat caps pleated to a brim) and tall hats stiffened with buckram and/or wire began to be interchangeable. Beaver hats were also fashionable, becoming moreso as the century drew to a close. A wonderfully descriptive contemporary essay on the subject by Elizabethan commentator Phillip Stubbes is at http://www.dnaco.net/~aleed/corsets/stubbes.html#hats . Attifets, or coifs with flared, wired fronts, became more fashionable in the 1580s and 1590s as the more bouffant hairdos came in. There are paintings in 1570s flanders of women wearing something similar, with a flared, wired front and a veil hanging down the back--you can read more about them at http://www.dnaco.net/~aleed/corsets/lowerclass/flemish-dress.html . French hoods were worn well into the 1560s, and perhaps the 1570s as well. Straw hats were worn by peasants and marketwomen. Voluminous veils pinned to a woman's caul, decorative hair billiment or attifet also became popular in the late 1580s and 1590s.

I learned how on this list and I do it for my 5-year-old daughter all the time. She loves it. I use cut up pieces of nylon stocking for this, the rolls of hair are neat and small (her hair is about a foot long) and she doesn't have any trouble at all sleeping on it. I used 1-in-wide strips of cotton once and they looked so adorable that I always intend to cut new ones from matching cloth (I used quilt scraps) and put her hair up like that for a party. If you wrap it another way, you get a different look. This is to use longer pieces of cloth, and cross the cloth and the hair about in the middle of both (If that makes sense at all). Then You wrap the hair around the cloth like a corkscrew (not like a bobbin). Then you wind the two halves of the cloth together and tie. I know it sounds weird, but someone on this list recommended it. The hair comes out crinkly, not in a long tube. I like the tube look better, myself. Oh -- and either way, be sure you do it when the hair is wet, or at least damp.

(No-one else had them, I just wanted her do to it because is was "Historical", natural, - and she was a hairdresser! I had straight hair 33 inches long, so because of the weight of the hair, the ringlets didn't stay in long unfortunately. I was against her using any modern setting lotion, but she sometimes used sugar water to help keep the curls in. (Just dampened the hair slightly with it). She would use long strips of knit cotton (usually old vests actually) and starting at the top of a portion of hair, would hold the top of the strip firmly and wrap my hair around the strip top to bottom in a spiral fashion. Then she's wind the test of the strip bottom to top around the wound hair in a spiral fashion until she reached the top and tie the strip off. The knit texture of the fabric helped firm up the wrappings. She used to do several rows of this for me. Probably about 20 "rags" in all. Then I'd go to bed in them, and the next day, she'd unwind them and coax the hair into ringlets. They were comfortable to sleep in I remember, but as with the braids she kept my hair in every other day, she always pulled everything very tight - which made for a springy curl, but pulled a bit when they were wrapped or braided.

The problem is that my hair, which I like VERY much, is butt-length, hip-length if I braid it, which I often do. While this is great for period hairstyles, I'm having real trouble finding a mundane hairstyle I like besides a french braid (wearing it down is not an option, as I have a little one and believe my hair looks best attached to my scalp). For normal wear, that's fine, but special occasions.....! Last weekend I went to a friend's wedding. By about midway through the reception, I had lost enough hairpins due to gravity that my 'do came down. And this was a style that's SUPPOSED to be good for (the modern idea of) long hair. Hairstylists aren't helpful AT ALL; the ones I've spoken with thought the best idea was to cut it off to a length they can deal with. And while buns and chignons work, I think they look rather severe, no matter what I do with the perimeter hair I keep out. Any help with this problem is SINCERELY appreciated! I now return you to your regularly scheduled topics.
