Is wearing them to work as some people have mentioned a common practice? Hallowe'en is not a big deal here in Britain, perhaps because we have Guy Fawkes Day less than a week after. You can buy pumpkins nowadays (turnip lanterns are the traditional British version, but they are harder to carve as I remember from once having tried). I once dressed as a witch for a party (put a black paper cone over the crown of a black straw hat), but it wasn't a regular event. Some children have latched on to the "trick or treat" business in recent years, but I've never heard of there being any flurry of costume making - I think they just buy masks or use face paint.

Never put mothballs in a cedar chest. It makes a foul odor and the balls combine with the cedar permanently. My husband had to sand the crystalizing off and shellac and I'm still not sure if the chest will be useable. I use the natural repellants and cedar bags now.

I've seen damage done to clothing and quilts kept in cedar chests because of the oils in the wood. I use lavendar in fabric bags kept near, but not on, my feathers and fur. I also have a very fancy, expensive feather mask. When I bought it a couple of years ago, the artist told me to keep the mask in a plastic bag with a fabric bag of lavendar - but not touching the feathers. The lavendar will keep the feather mites away, but the oils in the lavendar could harm the feathers. Whether he meant the dyes n the feathers or the feathers themselves I don't know. Doesn't matter much. I wear it a couple times a year and check it every quarter - no damage at all. The plus with the lavendar is that the smell of the chemicals used on the feathers has diminished since I first wore it. It smelled so strongly at first I couldn't wear the mask for long but now it's fine. lynnD _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Dec 1 11:48:22 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA15195 for ; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 11:48:20 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA03123; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 11:06:27 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id LAA25021 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 11:06:06 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from ntserver1.mainsaver.com ([206.17.202.2]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA25014 for ; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 11:06:05 -0700 (MST) Received: by HP-LH3 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 09:57:31 -0800 Message-ID: <5B38B8D7EED8D211997F00A0C9E57FB91DB643@HP-LH3> From: MAGGIE SECARA To: "'h-costume@indra.com'" Subject: RE: H-COST: Moth balls Date: Wed, 1 Dec 1999 09:57:30 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: MAGGIE SECARA I've had things turn up with "moth" (or something) holes more than once no matter how often they've been to the cleaners.

I just sent a message about them to the list yestreday but it seems to have been lost in the shuffle. I use cedar balls all the time now and am replacing the moth balls - which I used to use by leaving them in the bag them came in and punching holes in it with an ice pick... that way they did not come in comtact with the fabric. Cedar balls seem to work better, but here again I keep them on the sides so that do not have direct contact with abric. I am not sure that is necessary, just being careful. ~!~ R.L.Shep http://www.rlshep.com ---------- >From: Kat & Kent >To: h-costume@indra.com >Subject: Re: H-COST: Plumes and Furs >Date: Wed, Dec 1, 1999, 5:19 AM > > >-Poster: Kat & Kent > >Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that >cedar balls (or blocks or chips) that are sanded occasionally to >'freshen' them, work as moth repellents. > >Kat > _________________________________________________________________ > 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 ----- Sent using MailStart.com ( http://MailStart.Com/welcome.html ) The FREE way to access your mailbox via any web browser, anywhere! _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Dec 1 17:00:53 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA15788 for ; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 17:00:48 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA24589; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 16:18:31 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA10451 for h-costume-outgoing; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 16:17:15 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from vortex.engr.washington.edu (vortex.engr.washington.edu [128.95.19.1]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA10434 for ; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 16:17:12 -0700 (MST) 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 PAA06477; Wed, 1 Dec 1999 15:17:33 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <3845ACBE.9557DA1F@serv.net> Date: Wed, 01 Dec 1999 15:18:22 -0800 From: Merouda the True of Beaumaris X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (Win95; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: SCA Garb , Historical Costume Subject: H-COST: my new belt 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: RO -Poster: Merouda the True of Beaumaris If you go to this website http://sites.netscape.net/ksca/beltsets and scroll to the last belt on the page you will see the belt I commissioned and received in the mail yesterday.

I've always heard that as well, Kat. In fact, when I refinished the cedar chest my mother sent me the last thing I did was take a fine grit sand paper to the interior. I store my vintage stuff in it now (all wrapped in acid free tissue or cotton sheets).

I thought the whole series of books was great, and am glad to hear someone else's opinion. I have yet to see the dolls. The dolls are lovely, a bit on the pricey side if you are looking for inexpensive dolls, but on the lower end of the really nice dolls. One particular thing about the A.M. dolls, you can order one with the same color skin, eyes, and hair as the young lady it is intended for. The various ethnic combinations are fairly true to nature -- there are a variety of colors of skin, almond shaped eyes, straight, curly and very curly hair. The dolls are sturdy enough to be played with, and now several pattern companies have patterns for this size doll. This all after my daughter has set her dolls carefully on a shelf.

How deep is the V you're > describing? Sorry, I probably wasn't very clear. I'm describing a stand collar that is set into a nexk-hole that is round (follows the base of the neck) at the front of the garment and and a V at the back. I fhtere is a standard size of that V, I don't know what it is. It appears to differ a bit from person-to-person/garment-to-garment, judging by the pictures I've seen it appear in. The ones I've done (so far) ave all been between 5 and 7 inches from top of collar to pint of V (the height of the collar itself being the varying factor here as I've used the same V on all of them so far - it works and I'm not going to alter that bit unless I *have* to...) Made them both with one piece collars (no seam at centre back) and 2 piece (seam at centre back) as well as a 4 piece (seams at side of neck as well as centre back - it was a parti-coloured garent), it doesn't make any difference to the method of doing it as I made up the collar into one piece and lined/interlined it *before* fitting it tinot the neckline. All of the garments I've used these collars on have a centre back seam, as do *most* of the paintings/pictures I've seen that show it. But I have seen some that don't show a centre back seam on the garment (from memory, I think I've seen one that shows a centre back seam on the collar but not on the garment - but that's a vague memory from somewhere and I could be wrong)! The low necked (collarless) garments I mentioned are over garments usually worn over other garments with stand-collars. They are just v-back shaped neckholes, sometimes edged in fur (or with fur lining showing around them) Hope this helps Teddy (Trustworthy Evil-Bunny of Destiny, part-time Knave and Creature of air and darkness, apparently!) _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 2 06:04:19 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id GAA22331 for ; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 06:04:18 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id FAA07394; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 05:22:12 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id FAA06572 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 05:21:58 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo-d09.mx.aol.com (imo-d09.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.41]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id FAA06565 for ; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 05:21:56 -0700 (MST) From: AnnBWass@aol.com Received: from AnnBWass@aol.com by imo-d09.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.4.) id 6.0.cc56cd34 (4369) for ; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 07:21:21 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.cc56cd34.2577be40@aol.com> Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 07:21:20 EST Subject: Re: H-COST: was (no subject) now American Girl dolls To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Windows AOL sub 45 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: AnnBWass@aol.com My big reservation with the dolls, even though they are beautiful and very well-made, is the price. I know that, as a girl, I would have wanted one desperately, but there is no way my family could have afforded one. When I expressed this reservation to one of the Pleasant Company people (three years ago), she made some comment about there being grandmothers. Well, I only had one living grandmother, and she was on a fixed income, so she couldn't have bought me one either. I have bought two, much less expensive, 18" dolls and am making clothes for them clothes. I will be giving them to Toys for Tots. I will say that clothes for 18" dolls are much easier to make than Barbie-doll size. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 2 06:06:30 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id GAA22355 for ; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 06:06:30 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id FAA07581; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 05:24:31 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id FAA06828 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 05:24:29 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from cmailg1.svr.pol.co.uk (cmailg1.svr.pol.co.uk [195.92.195.171]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id FAA06823 for ; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 05:24:27 -0700 (MST) Received: from modem6.fred.pol.co.uk ([195.92.7.134] helo=herimats) by cmailg1.svr.pol.co.uk with smtp (Exim 3.11 #0) id 11tVHd-0004gS-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Thu, 02 Dec 1999 12:24:26 +0000 Message-ID: <007d01bf3cc0$42aa07d0$86075cc3@herimats> From: "LDMundy" To: References: <002501bf3c82$0ec575a0$0200a8c0@mamabear.stormypetrel.com> Subject: Re: H-COST: Plumes and Furs Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 12:18:28 -0000 Organization: Heritage Matters at Wysewords 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: RO -Poster: "LDMundy" ----- From: Genevieve de Courtanvaux > > -Poster: "Genevieve de Courtanvaux" > > Ok, this is going to sound weird but is the moth problem a regional problem > because here in Texas I haven't had any problems with it at all. > Carol Ross I think that the US might just have pockets ( no pun ) where the problem exists/ According to my enty-?ist friend the major culprit, the clothes moth has long since died out in the UK( and poss Europe), although there are smaller moths ( and one beatle, that evidently likes nylon) ) that may take ocassional advantage of clothes, they can do nothing like the tremendous damage that the original pest could; This had to be seen to be believed- clothes would be practically shredded and unrecognisasable after a month or so ( showing my age). Our moth balls have also died out; they were made of napthalene, which was a terrible white stuff that leaked from pipes during the processing of Town gas- now we use North Sea Gas which doesnt produce it. It is most probably illegal as well. Something ironic about the fact that both beast and cure are no more; but I cant quite put my finger on it ; too early to be metaphysical.

OK, that's pretty much what I was working on, too. If you dont do a CB seam in the V-inset, how do you get it to "stand" at the back? Teddy said> It appears to differ a bit from person-to-person/garment-to-garment, judging by the pictures I've seen it appear in. The ones I've done (so far) ave all been between 5 and 7 inches from top of collar to pint of V (the height of the collar itself being the varying factor here as I've used the same V on all of them so far - it works and I'm not going to alter that bit unless I *have* to...) Yes, I agree. More so in implementation. This is quite clear, from my previous (modern) tailoring experiences. Collars can be so fiddley with the amount of lordosis vs vertical posture, forward/bkwd thrust shoulders, neck length, etc. I like the CB seam in the collar if only because that makes the entire CB a fitting seam. Might be reasonable to use the CB collar seam in muslins, but not in the finished product if the resulting patterm permitted.

Dupuis" Greetings, I work in an office in downtown Seattle, about 100 yards from where everything has been going on. It is very freaky to have police in riot gear and national guard camped out on my street, asking me where I am going every time I leave the building. My boss got teargassed on his way home last night. About 90% of the protestors are very peaceable and march without violence (I saw people in sea turtle costumes yesterday... I almost ran over to them to see how they had made the costumes). The last 10% seem to be made up of people who really want to cause trouble for no reason other than to do it. The police, while having a mandate to keep things orderly, simply are not able to effectively handle this violent 10% and have ended up messing with people who are merely onlookers or minding their own business. Very unfortunate and stupid. Oh... yeah... the President drove by my office this morning and waved to me... This situation is so weird and so not Seattle... Laurellen mka Tammie L.

Of course protesting over equal rights I can understand better than what's going on in Seattle. They all look like they're wearing parkas made in Indonesia anyway. But then I know zero about the WTO.

It has wonderful photos of extant items from the late 17th century (and 18th). I was wondering, since it is a little later than my interest (1500-1600) what your opinions were on whether or not the colors (dyes available), embelishments, fabric manipulations were significantly different than those of, say, 50-80 years earlier. I'm not asking about style, as that is obviously different. One of my particular interests is dyed fur. This book has an example of dyed rabbit fur. The other is that I have heared repeatedly that fabric with a slub in it would not have been used. This book and another I have has examples of linen with a definate slub.

Thanks, Renee (in > humid Houston, Texas) I don't know what kind of roaches you have in Houston, Renee, but the ones we had in Hawaii weren't fazed in the slightest by anything I could think of short of pyrethrins. They laughed at moth balls, cedar and lavendar. However, roaches have no interest in clean clothes as far as I can tell - they left my clothes alone as long as they were clean. But for some reason they loved to eat my watercolors (and no, they weren't temperas).

Look for references about James VI of Scotland (became James I of England after Elizabeth's death); he married Anne of Denmark in the 1580s (IIRC). Unfortunately, portraiture in the Scottish court was not as common as in the English; most of the portraits of James and Anne that I am familiar with were done *after* James became King of England in 1603. One author to look for is _J. Telfar Dunbar_. He is *by far* the most reliable historian of Scottish clothing. Most of the others I have seen are from the 19th century and have a romantic attachment to Scottish highland dress styles (often inventions).

This book and another I have has examples of >linen with a definate slub. Does anyone know where the 'fact' that fabrics >with a slub would not have been used might have come from? Two questions about the linen: 1) What was the magnification used for the detail? Under high magnification even the smoothest linen will show "slubs". And 2), what was the thread count (tpi=threads per inch or tpc=threads per centimeter)? Lower thread count means coarser fibers, which will give you a "slubbier" thread. The occasional slub is expected, but is not a design element in the fabric. Remember that *all* the linen woven in that time was made from thread spun by hand. Even the best spinner cannot make an absolutely perfectly even thread all the time, although she could come close. That said, as I recall the earlier list discussion, we were talking about dating the advent of a deliberately slubby *silk* fabric as a fashion fabric. As far as I know, silk fabrics in Europe in the 16th century were made from reeled or thrown silk where slubs were definite faults, not design features. This friendly spinner, weaver, and all-around fiber-fanatic sends you her congratulations on such a lovely birthday gift, Joan Jurancich Sacramento, CA joanj@quiknet.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 Dec 3 00:24:09 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id AAA24072 for ; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 00:24:09 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA28807; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 23:41:34 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id XAA00471 for h-costume-outgoing; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 23:41:20 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from slowworm.ebay.com (slowworm.ebay.com [216.32.120.70]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA00454 for ; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 23:41:18 -0700 (MST) From: joanj@quiknet.com Received: from leaffrog.ebay.com (leaffrog.ebay.com [216.32.120.76]) by slowworm.ebay.com (8.8.8+Sun/8.8.8) with SMTP id WAA06785 for ; Thu, 2 Dec 1999 22:41:14 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199912030641.WAA06785@slowworm.ebay.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Interesting item on eBay web site item#212081594: ANTIQUE HAT FORM BLOCK ADJUSTABLE STRETCHER Date: Thu, 02 Dec 1999 22:41:18 Pacific Standard Time Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: joanj@quiknet.com I saw this item for sale at eBay and thought that a member of this list might be interested.

I'm not sure I understand the question - The collar is the regular stand-collar shape at the top, but instead of the straight line across the bottom (where it would fit into a higher/rounded neckhole) it extends down into the V shape at the centre back.

Another question: I have a costume Nazi (I love Margo's snark term-where does it come from?) who insists that delicately woven, i.e. brocade, or patterned weaving (with different colors)wasn't possible between 1550-1600 because the 'machines didn't exist'. Now its been awhile, but I have been to the textile museum in D.C. and it seems I recall that stuff as early as 700 b.c.. Most of it was from the middle east, but it had elephants, metal thread all woven into the fabric, not embroidered. Since we have to 'prove' to her that we are 'right', I need written or photographic evidence. This book has such fabric, but it is more in the 1740's range. Did weaving techniques change that much?? Also, fabric color: While it is difficult to tell because of photography, lighting and degradation, some of these colors are quite bright-any opinions on whether dying changed that much? I would conjecture not, just because I wouldn't think that synthetic dyes were becoming available even then. Any points to resources would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: Dean Quackenbush [mailto:deanq@paloverde.com] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 1999 8:02 PM To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Slub, dyed fur, differences in fabric treatments -Poster: "Dean Quackenbush" I just got my birthday present: Fashion in Detail by Avril Hart and Susan North.

The linen bodice is shown because of the silk embroidery. It is a shot at a distance that allows you to see the whole bodice on a large page. The slub is obvious at even that distance and isn't just here and there, it is everywhere. And what puzzled me more is that it is described as being court dress. In the other book, Fashion in Detail, the slubs are more like what you described, just here and there. But there is a jacket dating in the early 1600's that is coarsely woven linen. It almost looks like the raw silk popular today, fairly open weave in 'natural' colors. It does specify that the jacket would probably not have been worn in public, but used at home. When I get home tonight I will send the name, author and ISBN number of that book. -----Original Message----- From: Joan M Jurancich [mailto:joanj@quiknet.com] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 1999 10:47 PM To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: Slub, dyed fur, differences in fabric treatments -Poster: Joan M Jurancich At 08:01 PM 12/2/99 -0700, Dean Quackenbush wrote: > >-Poster: "Dean Quackenbush" > >I just got my birthday present: Fashion in Detail by Avril Hart and Susan >North.

This book and another I have has examples of >linen with a definate slub. Does anyone know where the 'fact' that fabrics >with a slub would not have been used might have come from? Two questions about the linen: 1) What was the magnification used for the detail? Under high magnification even the smoothest linen will show "slubs". And 2), what was the thread count (tpi=threads per inch or tpc=threads per centimeter)? Lower thread count means coarser fibers, which will give you a "slubbier" thread. The occasional slub is expected, but is not a design element in the fabric. Remember that *all* the linen woven in that time was made from thread spun by hand. Even the best spinner cannot make an absolutely perfectly even thread all the time, although she could come close. That said, as I recall the earlier list discussion, we were talking about dating the advent of a deliberately slubby *silk* fabric as a fashion fabric. As far as I know, silk fabrics in Europe in the 16th century were made from reeled or thrown silk where slubs were definite faults, not design features. This friendly spinner, weaver, and all-around fiber-fanatic sends you her congratulations on such a lovely birthday gift, Joan Jurancich Sacramento, CA joanj@quiknet.com _________________________________________________________________ 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 Fri Dec 3 07:44:52 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA29687 for ; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 07:44:51 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA26770; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 07:03:02 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id HAA10615 for h-costume-outgoing; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 07:02:48 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail1.bellatlantic.net (mail1.bellatlantic.net [199.45.32.38]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA10599 for ; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 07:02:46 -0700 (MST) Received: from thibault.org (client-151-197-111-148.bellatlantic.net [151.197.111.148]) by mail1.bellatlantic.net (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id JAA05480 for ; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 09:06:19 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <3847CCC9.90C2E771@thibault.org> Date: Fri, 03 Dec 1999 09:00:17 -0500 From: Cynthia Virtue Organization: Virtue Ventures http://www.virtue.to X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 (Macintosh; U; PPC) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: 'Fashion in Detail new book:' was Slub, dyed fur, differences infabric treatments References: <7F402D0574C3D011ACF000A0C92B23D3025E1116@nt13pv.apsc.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: RO -Poster: Cynthia Virtue "Knauf, Saragrace T" wrote: > who insists that delicately woven, i.e. brocade, or patterned weaving (with > different colors) wasn't possible between 1550-1600 because the 'machines > didn't exist'. I believe this is incorrect. The fancy machines were invented to replace master weavers, who were doing this sort of thing already. I don't have pictures, but an account of some actual fabric I saw at the Chicago Institute of Art is at with a few images of paintings showing similar fabrics.

My recollection is that the fancy loom you're referring to is the Jaquard loom which was a 16-harness loom. Before that 2 and 4-harness looms were the standard.

I doen't trust dry cleaners to do a thorough job of cleaning, however. I wash all my woolen knits with Orvus Paste in the washer on gentle, lay flat to dry, then freeze 3 days in plastic zip lock bags before storing. It is effective and foolproof. Wovens are tougher, as ready-to-wear isn't preshrunk and doesn't tolerate water. Then you have to rely on the cleaners, but you can still wrap them in plastic and hang them outdoors in freezing weather, or lay them in the freezer for a time.

You can purchase color slides of the Pourpoint of Charles de Blois from the Musée des Tissus in Lyon, France. The museum dates it as prior to Charles' death in 1364. It is made from a brocade with a slightly off-white back ground and gold thread for the pattern of lions and eagles in octagons (or is it hexagons? Anyway...) You can also find pictures of it in a few books, but I haven't seen any in color in the books.

That type of person will never let something as simple as facts get in the way of what they "Know". Best example I have heard to date was at Fort Sutter here in Sacramento. Someone told one of the Docents that the wood floor was "wrong" because they had used nails. After a few minutes of conversion it became clear that there was no getting through to this guy that nails are period for most of history. She just looked him in the eye, and told him, "Your right sir. They screwed Jesus to the cross!" It still makes me laugh to thing about it. -----Original Message----- From: MAGGIE SECARA [mailto:SECARAM@mainsaver.com] Sent: Friday, December 03, 1999 10:21 AM To: 'h-costume@indra.com' Subject: RE: H-COST: 'Fashion in Detail new book:' was Slub, dyed fur, di fferences infabric treatments -Poster: MAGGIE SECARA There's always someone who things everyone in the past was stupid, and that nothing of quality can be made without machines.

As to brocade weaves, the Chinese invented the draw-loom which allows elaborate patterning. Not sure of the date, but poss. B.C. And the Central Asian and Persian weavers learned it from them, and so on. Numerous examples of T'ang dynasty (ca 8-9th c.) patterned silks have been found in western China (formerly Chinese Turkestan) of Chinese manufacture as well as Sogdian and Iranian.

I explained what I was doing and they recommended 5 images, one of them being a closup of the fabric that also shows a seem right down the middle of it. They were very nice to deal with, although the email was about half in French. I only purchaced rights to use the images myself. I did not get rights to redistribute or publish. I took the slides and had them scanned so I could print them out and also blow them up on my monitor to get better detail. They printed out beautifuly as 8x10's from my HP 810C on the high grade HP photo paper.

Admittedly our towels never dry in the bathroom, but I think that's down to the lack of either - we hang them over a chair in the living room :) -- Jean Waddie _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Dec 3 13:16:22 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA30210 for ; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 13:16:21 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA16313; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 12:33:00 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA05289 for h-costume-outgoing; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 12:32:57 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from Herb-Lore.com (mail.herb-lore.com [209.141.89.62]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA05271 for ; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 12:32:54 -0700 (MST) Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 12:32:37 -0700 Message-Id: <199912031232.AA783679794@Herb-Lore.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii From: "heather " To: Subject: Re: H-COST: "snark" X-Mailer: Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: "heather " >Snotty, Nasty And Righteous Know-it-all This one gets my vote for favorite!! _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Dec 3 13:23:47 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA30243 for ; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 13:23:46 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA17637; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 12:42:38 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA07779 for h-costume-outgoing; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 12:42:31 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from smtp01.mrf.mail.rcn.net (smtp01.mrf.mail.rcn.net [207.172.4.60]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA07759 for ; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 12:42:29 -0700 (MST) Received: from 207-172-86-146.s146.tnt6.rcm.va.dialup.rcn.com ([207.172.86.146] helo=e4c2n6) by smtp01.mrf.mail.rcn.net with smtp (Exim 2.12 #3) id 11tyat-0000kF-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Fri, 3 Dec 1999 14:42:16 -0500 Message-ID: <010b01bf3dc6$67f6a6e0$9256accf@e4c2n6> From: "Penny Ladnier" To: "h-costume" Subject: H-COST: Baby Doll Dresses Date: Fri, 3 Dec 1999 14:41:31 -0500 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 5.00.2014.211 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2014.211 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: "Penny Ladnier" Several months ago, we were discussing baby dolls dresses that were popular in the last 1960s to early 1970s. These are dresses worn by teenagers that were VERY short and sometimes had matching short bloomers. I found Baby Doll dress documentation last night in an excellent book called Couture- The Great Designers. Two designers had pictures of them in the book. I think one was Bill Blass in 1968. My Simplicity patterns date 1971. The designers did call them Baby Doll dresses. The image of my Baby Doll dresses pattern is at http://www.costumegallery.com/patter1.jpg Later...

Sure, there are choices based on ignorance, but there are also choices based on design, purpose, message, and like that. Complain about the first, but understand the second. There exist some valid reasons why costume designers will choose not to do 100% accurate copies of historical costumes when they costume a stage/screen production. Most important is the fact that one can 'talk' to a modern audience better, in some cases, by digressing from absolute accuracy in a way that the modern audience can understand. You can make statements by choosing what you have the characters wear, even if it isn't strictly period. Like having the villain wear a black hat. Like putting a Stratford On Avon souvenir mug into the movie Shakespeare In Love, or (same movie) using Lurex 'gold' embroidery so there will be enough glittery gold on the costumes. Like simplifying the details so they will show up from the last row of seats in the theatre. Budget is another factor. As in, how good can we afford to get, or how can we suggest what we want using only the money we have. "Champaigne period on a beer budget".

Skimmers were longer than baby doll dresses. Skimmers were very light material - sometimes permanent pleated which like - floated around you as you moved, but came closer to the knee than the crotch (some more modest ones wore them to the knee). Baby dolls inspired some to wear them so short that you always saw the ruffles underneath. ;-)).

Cheryl Odom, not an authority by any means Actually, draw-looms capable of weaving all sorts of very complex patterns were developed in China more than two millenia ago. Other looms using sets of pattern headles (also called harnesses) were developed in various places around the world a loooooonnnng time ago. Two- and four-harness looms are perhaps the most common for everyday fabrics, but the highly decorated (and *extremely* expensive) woven fabrics used many more harnesses (i.e., groups of headles controlling particular warp threads to make the patterning easier); weaving satin fabrics (silk or wool) can use 7 harnesses to keep the smooth, glossy threads of the warp showing an almost unbroken surface. Apparently the person who inspired the first message in this thread has *never* studied anything about the history of weaving. Or spinning. Or dyeing. Our ancestors had to be clever to manage; some of our oh-so-smart moderns would have never made it to adulthood, let alone reproduced. Can you guess that fiber and fabric technologies are special interests of mine? Sorry for getting on such a high soapbox, but I am constantly irritated by the attitude that everything was "crude" in the 19th century and earlier. Humph..Our woolen fabrics (not all, but quite a large proportion) would not have been given approval by the medieval guilds of weavers because they are not properly finished. ... I had best get down off this soapbox, the air is getting thin... Back on the ground now. That's better . A wonderful book for learning about the impact of cloth-making in the lives of women in Europe and the Mideast is "Women's Work: the first 20,000 Years" by Elizabeth Wayland Barber, published in 1994 [ISBN 0-393-03506-0 (hardback)]. It's an expanded chapter from her earlier book, "Prehistoric Textiles: the Development of Cloth in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages with Special Reference to the Aegean" (a wonderful scholarly book for fanatics like me ).

Perhaps she suffers from Black and White book photo syndrome :-) I believe there are some descriptions and black and white photos of some very detailed muli-colored brocades in the Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd. There are additional descriptions in text. Also there are some examples in Five Centuries of Italian Textiles, A Selection from the Museo del Tessuto Prato 1300-1800 (No ISBN) organized by Rosalia Bonito Fanelli 1981 One thing to be careful of is popularity and fashion in period, and just because it was possible, doesn't mean a particular pattern or color combination was worn as clothing. By the pictoral evidence I have, I would say that 3 or more colored brocades in Europe became much more popular after 1600, though there seemed to be a brief fad in the late 15th c Italy. Early 16th c German costumes are usually single colored or two colored. When they are two-toned, inevitably one of the colors is black, white/silver, or orange/gold. Their clothing brocade choices seemed to tend toward heraldic color mixtures in taste, yet background furniture textiles are more often multicolored brocades. In the book Textiler Hausrat, Kleidung un Haustextilien in Nurnberg von 1500-1600 by Zander-Seidel, there are chapters devoted to house textiles. These were often woven specifically for various household purposes or decoration and clearly had some popular patterns and weaves. IMHO, we don't wear upholstery fabric now and they didn't then. In general, I admit I tend to steer people away from brocades, mostly because it takes a lot of study, analysis and somewhat of a good eye to pick out a "period" brocade. Some of the ones I've seen people pick just come out badly. When I was costume director of a Landsknecht re-enacting group, I always pleaded with people to get swatches before purchasing that showed the whole pattern. I hate to see people spend time and effort into something that is just not right. The funny thing is that some very interesting patterns can be found in period brocades. Some are very modern geometric looking.

The idea of this teenage fashion was stemmed off of little baby girls who wore these types of outfits in the early 60s through early 80s. The bloomers or underpants were made to match, so that crawling babies' panties matched their dress. I had some of these baby doll dresses for Katie in the early ninties. Later...

I was one of the folks who popularized its usage in the SCA, in the term "garb snark" as a substitution for a term using the "N"-word, some years ago. I don't know that I actually invented the term, but for me was a back formation of the term "snarky", as in "snarky remarks". The fact that the description of the snark in "The Hunting of the Snark" kinda fits was one of those serendipidous sorts of things..... I continue to promote the term, because I don't like the term "Nazi" used so lightly, and "authenticity police" makes it seem as if those interested in authenticity are by definition "enforcers."

This is getting outa hand! I feel my sides splitting... help! Henk PS Tomorrow is St Nicholas overhere and a tradition with the Dutch is: sticking poems (well, rhymes actually...) with the presents. They have to be humorous and must say something about some defects or quirks of the receiver. Is Drea Dutch, you think? She'll fit the bill! Easily!

If someone asks why I did something such and such a way or if such and such was period, I'll provide my opinion, though usually couched with "this is the information I have at this time" or "based on the documentation I've seen so far". I can't imagine walking up to someone and critiquing their attire or other art endeavor in most forums, especialy the SCA. It would just be rude. There are other re-enacting groups that have designated costume directors that are concerned with such, but the people belonging to those groups have already bought in to the level of authenticity that is required or they wouldn't be there. I've been in that position and did not find it a particularly fun job. The person in that position needs to have "teeth" and so often the promised support from others in the group flitters away when the "standards" really need enforcing. Especially if its a big shot's girlfriend or a good party buddy. My biggest irritation is when "not so knowledgable" members of the re-enacting group decide to become "enforcers", but are actually just garb snarks. Inevitably they are less than tactful and often seem to take some joy in causing other people grief. And usually they really don't know what they are talking about and end up spreading costume myths that are often hard to get rid of. On the other hand, I've heard requests from some of the journeyman and senior level artists in our SCA area to have a forum to be able to ask for a private and true critique of the Laurel "experts". I would still do my best to be very cautious and tactful in that kind of situation. And gosh knows that I don't worry about authenticity 100% of the time. Just try being 100% authentic with a toddler....

You could always tell them to check out the book: "Prehistoric Textiles" by E.J.W. Barber. ISBN 0-691-03597-0\ This is a fabulous book! I saw Dr. Barber lecture on "The Mummies of Urumachi" (sorry I can't spell the wretched name ) and she is incredibly knowledgable! On page 10 of "Prehistoric Textiles" she mentions that some textile bits found from 3000 B.C. included brocading! Isn't that just totally WOW!

I have a dress form on order, the parts to make a large ironing table, and find to my horror that there are loud grinding noises coming from my sewing machine. I figure I sew enough to upgrade to a fairly decent one (better than the $150 Sears Kenmore I've been abusing for the past 15 years), but would like some advice. I understand Bernina's are good (G-Street uses them in their classes), but what about the other brands? Who makes the Sears ones these days? What about Brother, Singer, Husqvarna (sp?), Pfaff? I need to keep this in the triple digit price range. If you want to keep this off the list you can email me privately.

The only problem I have ever had with it is that the timing finally had to be readjusted this year. The model I want (the number escapes me) was on sale for $899 last summer, so is within the 3-digit price range if you can find it on sale. (My regular sewing machines are a 20 year old Singer and a 26 year old Kenmore. They are okay, but how I long to get an exciting new machine!)

I had someone come up to me and tell me that they did NOT "do that" in the middle ages. I looked at her and said something along the lines of, "I did it this way because I didn't have enough fabric to make a full length dress from just the cream... somehow I seriously doubt that my ancestors were *dumber* than I am... I'm sure they were quite capable of coming up with the same solution." Just the fact that I didn't take the... let's be polite... stern criticism... seemed to startle her.

It has 200 stitches, it embroiders, comes with PC designer software so that you can make your own embroidery patterns, sews leather and any other fabric you can think off, special transport for chiffon and silks so they won't pucker, free arm, many different button holes both mechanically and electronically (type in the length and width and it does it automatically) and god knows whatever else. I just love it and couldn't live without it anymore. Practically indistructible (no plactics insides, all metal), three year free service which I didn't need once. It is a German make and cost about 4.000 DM, I think that would be around 2.000 dollar. I don't know what Pfaff costs in America though. It's a machine for a lifetime and a special treat. Today there are the 7560 and 7570 on the market. http://www.pfaff.com/ Just saw they had an English language homepage too. P.S. I don't recommend Singer, my mother had too many problems after only a very few years since Singer switched over to using plastic parts inside, some broke and it was impossible to repair it, or would have been incredibly expensive. They advertise with 'featherlight' but I rather have a sturdy though computerised heavy model than a lightweight one which breaks easily. So she got a Pfaff as well, they have lots of different makes, all levels. I was told Husquarna is quite good as well. But that's all the makes I know, somehow the German/European market is rather ruled by Pfaff *laughs* now what a surprise... Have fun and good luck finding the right machine!

Certainly unasked critiquing is rude, and only excusable when it is done in a fit of absence of mind (and manners), which happens only occasionally. However, sometimes the critiquing is done to a second party, not involved with the wearer, who asks "is _that_ period?". At which time a discussion takes places (quietly, and away from the wearer). Unfortunately, many garb snarks and their counterparts of police, policing garb snarks, then find it necessary to carry tales to the wearer with "you should hear what Lady X is saying about _your_ garb." Usually the language and/or criticism is far from what was actually said. The tattletale achieves the smug pleasure of spoiling someone else's fun, and smearing the people who find authenticity a fascinating subject in and of itself. Question however: The longer I am a Laurel, and in the SCA, the more I realize I do not know about my chosen field (the Middle Ages in Western Europe alone is a BIG place!). What are the suggestions for asking someone for documentation for a piece you are interested in? I remember the first time I saw a replica of one of the Bog Dresses from Denmark (not the Irish or Herjolfness ones). It looked so "wrong". I tried my very best to be polite and asked where the outfit came from, she was taken aback, and I think a little scared. They we went to her car where she had books in Danish with a picture of the particular find which is a bolero length, short sleeved top and I think, a string skirt. I learned something I would not have known for years by asking for documentation. At the same event was a young lady dressed right out of Elf Quest, and she knew it and said so when I asked about her costume. Bottom line, if you don't ask about something you'll be left ignorant. The trick, and it is a real trick, is to ask so you don't come across as accusatory. With some people this is simply impossible, since the act of asking the question makes you "rude".

The thing is that nobody can be 100% accurate. There's always some point on which people compromise. Was the velvet woven by hand, of period materials, and dyed with period-available dye? If one so much as used fluorescent light to sew by, or used modern thread and a modern steel needle, the garment less than perfectly period. So why get hung up on perfectionism? I can see trying to do things just the way another time or culture did, for the learning experience, but I can't see the rudeness which goes with perfectionism.

I work for the museum mentioned in Maggie's quote, and we get questions doubting that something can be done or existed in the period all the time. Rarely is it about anything that is even NEW in the 18th century. (I was informed while locked in an original gaol cell last thursday that there was no METAL in the 18th century!

Manufacturers add lots of stitches, most of which you will never use, to make more expensive (and thus more profitable) machines. These are the features that are really helpful, and get used: electronic foot control The foot pedal responds EXACTLY to what you want to do. One tap, and you get the needle up (if it was down) or down (if it was up). Tap the other end of the pedal and get one and only one complete stitch. needle stop up/down Electronic machines automatically stop with the needle in the fully UP position. Or, push a button and the opposite will always occur. Remember the flywheel? I haven't touched mine in years because of these 2 features. I can keep my hands on the fabric and save time. reverse sewing control Most machines have this button way over to the left. Get one that has it just above the needle, so you don't have to take one hand off the fabric to use it--just reach up with a thumb. Hey, if women were designing these things, all machines would be that way! knee lever This presser foot lifter means you can use your knee to lift the presser foot, and don't have to take your hands off the work for turning corners or other adjustments, or even to stop and start a seam. WARNING: don't use a machine with this lever unless you can afford to buy it. Once you get used to this, it's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to live without! That said, if you have to choose between all those convenience features and a consistently good straight stitch, choose the stitch. If you haven't had enough of my opinions yet, respond privately and I will answer questions.

        The foot pedal responds EXACTLY to what you want to do. One tap, and you get the needle up (if it was down) or down (if it was up). Tap the other end of the pedal and get one and only one complete stitch.

needle stop up/down
        Electronic machines automatically stop with the needle in the fully UP position. Or, push a button and the opposite will always occur.

Remember the flywheel?  I haven't touched mine in years because of these 2 features. I can keep my hands on the fabric and save time.

reverse sewing control
        Most machines have this button way over to the left. Get one that has it just above the needle, so you don't have to take one hand off the fabric to use it--just reach up with a thumb. Hey, if women were designing these things, all machines would be that way!

knee lever
        This presser foot lifter means you can use your knee to lift the presser foot, and don't have to take your hands off the work for turning corners or other adjustments, or even to stop and start a seam. WARNING: don't use a machine with this lever unless you can afford to buy it. Once you get used to this, it's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to live without!

That said, if you have to choose between all those convenience features and a consistently good straight stitch, choose the stitch.

If you haven't had enough of my opinions yet, respond privately and I will answer questions.

After reading this list the past year or so, I am finally ready to fix up my
sewing space.  I have a dress form on order, the parts to make a large
ironing table, and find to my horror that there are loud grinding noises
coming from my sewing machine. I figure I sew enough to upgrade to a fairly
decent one (better than the $150 Sears Kenmore I've been abusing for the
past 15 years), but would like some advice.  I understand Bernina's are good
(G-Street uses them in their classes), but what about the other brands?  Who
makes the Sears ones these days?  What about Brother, Singer, Husqvarna
(sp?), Pfaff?  I need to keep this in the triple digit price range.  If you
want to keep this off the list you can email me privately.  Thank you.

And I know people that love their Berninas and Vikings, too. As I said, I think any of the European machines are of good quality. Amen, though, to all the stitches we will never use. To get the features I want, when I can afford it, I will have to take a bunch of other stuff. It's kind of like a car, I suppose. If you want, say, power windows, you have to take the whole "accessory package."

Well, I must admit that I used disposable diapers/pull-ups with my children. OTOH you never *saw* them because they both wear complete & accurate garb over the items in question. I did have to use a bottle with Jennifer but I nursed Corwyn so I didn't have that question with him and as soon as they went to cups I had child sized tankards for them. What always startled me though was seeing children dressed in an adult t-shirt for a tunic & a pair of tennis shoes. My children always wear a t-tunic or dress, tights and either boots, the most period looking maryjanes I can find, sandals or medieval moccasins. The latter are quite economical because the children can wear them for several years... in fact, from infancy to size 12 (which Jennifer is in now) I have only had to use five pairs of them.

Now it is an American company. Many owners of older Elnas like them very much, but I don't know how the new machine compares.>> Incorrect. Elnas were Swiss made (though if an American company has bought them out, they may be manufactured in this country, too). Viking-Husqvarna is/was made in Sweden. The sewing machine portion of Viking was bought by White here in the US, a few years ago I believe). I've sewn on both Elnas and Viking, and I bought a Viking 990 (was top of the line when I bought it a dozen or more years ago). I like the machine.. it has more fancy stitches than I need, and it's been solid and dependable through a lot of sewing... home dec, costuming and professional suits for work. My 990 isn't even in the same LEAGUE anymore as far as bells and whistles with the current top of the line machines, though...... I also tried Bernina and Pfaff when I was shopping for a machine. A close friend has a Pfaff (she'd just gotten it) and after using it a few times, I didn't like how it felt. It was (to me) too ponderous... not responsive enough to the controls. The Berninas I tried felt like driving a five speed on a dump truck, and the machine I used "hammered" at the fabric. I was not impressed, so I bought the Viking. This isn't to say that both Bernina and Pfaff don't make good machines.... it could easily be that the particular models I was looking at were iffy, or that the dealers weren't maintaining them properly.... and my experience might be entirely different if I were to do the same tests today with my bag 'o scraps. << Another brand you haven't mentioned is Janome/New Home, a Japanese-made machine that I have heard good things about. >> I can't speak to the Janome/New Home sewing machines, but I recently (within the last six months) retired my Viking serger and bought a Janome CompuLock. I absolutely ADORE it!! (This is my third serger and by *far* the easiest to use, and makes an absolutely perfect stitch. I know I'm not pushing this machine's capabilities yet, but it's been very impressive). Ditto to the comments about buying from a dealer who will actually "be there" for you... it makes a world of difference. ~M _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Dec 5 16:06:31 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA12280 for ; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 16:06:31 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA03971; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 15:25:07 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id PAA16655 for h-costume-outgoing; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 15:24:23 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail.tricreations.com (dns-1.tricreations.com [216.205.16.110]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id PAA16648 for ; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 15:24:20 -0700 (MST) Received: from [38.27.144.216] ([38.27.144.216]) by mail.tricreations.com ; Sun, 05 Dec 1999 17:18:31 -0500 Subject: Re: H-COST: sewing machine advice requested.

They learned it from the Central Asian people (proto-Turks??) who used it in rug weaving. (I've seen this in print, but don't have the energy to look it up.) Tapestry weave is ko-ssu (sp?) in Chinese and kesi in Japanese and I *want* some! I don't know the technical terms, but someone else also mentioned that the Chinese invented the drawloom a couple of millenia ago. And I have definately seen pictures of brocaded textiles from the 8th c. One source of documention is the *fabulous* book "When silk was gold" base on items in the Cleveland and Metropolitan Museums.

I bought it lightly used to upgrade from the ancient top of the line Kenmore that I was using. I purchased the Diva because a friend had one and I tried hers out and liked it. It doesn't handle 8 layers of heavy poly cotton as well as the Kenmore but the embroidery and precision is better.

I've seen this in the Renn faire stuff a lot, especially with color "rules", like "no pink", or only the Queen wears purple (even though the purple they choose is not "Imperial Purple"), but is actually a purple that can be made with cheaper natural dyes. A personal example: there was a statement by another costume director that all men of doppelsoldner rank and above in the landsknecht group should have more than 3 colors in their costume, yet most of my research indicated that two colors were predominant, with a very small percentage of 3 or more colors. Though it was a "theatrical" decision, it has now become a costume myth that landsknechts wear so many colors. Between that an the art in the Osprey Landknecht book, it is now an assumed truth. Unfortunately even most reeactors do their research by looking at the clothes other people are wearing, thus my standard warning "its not usually a good idea to do all your research at an event, and when you do, ask questions."

And shirts alone only works for warm days. I even have a coral necklace for my toddler to give him good health:-) My kids are extremely well-dressed compared to most. I stock up on period-looking shoes in most sizes when I find them at thrift stores and such, so I have something for them for most ages. When we do landsknects, both boys wear leather puff and slash, striped hosen and feathered hats. My oldest son, age 6, finally graduated to full lederhosen with codpiece. Very cute. When we do 19th c, they've got outfits based on Workwoman's guide and otehr period paintings and I even put out a 19th c walker for display. But still I often bring out other items which are not 100% period, like if we are at an SCA event over 3 days, I will bring out my plastic high chair for feeding times inside the pavilion, just because it contains the mess of my youngest who will otherwise scatter food everywhere... I really needed leading strings for my oldest when he was a toddler. This second one isn't a runner, so its a lot easier. We also made a wooden portable fence that is set up as a "play yard" that looks pretty good (and I have references for similar devices for most periods.) Its usually only the diaper and shoes part of the costuming that I'm not 100% on, but since I'm not perfect, how can I expect others to be? We usually manage "visual" accuracy pretty well, but behind the scenes some things are 20th c - like diapers and plastic bottles. >OTOH, I did crochet a >plastic bottle tidy for my kids for Victorian use. Since I couldn't nurse 100% of the time, I made linen drawstring bags to cover my bottles. But there is a point that I just don't go too, like making leather "nipples" for ceramic bottles for example which would be the 16th c equivlent... but I collect and make cloth, wooden and leather toys for them to play with, and besides much of the time they are happy with dirt, sticks and rocks :-) 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 Sun Dec 5 22:42:45 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA12804 for ; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 22:42:45 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA10055; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 22:01:16 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id WAA00900 for h-costume-outgoing; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 22:00:44 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from centaur.qa.ebay.com (centaur.qa.ebay.com [216.33.247.240]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA00894 for ; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 22:00:43 -0700 (MST) From: joanj@quiknet.com Received: from centralian.ebay.com (centralian.ebay.com [216.32.120.85]) by centaur.qa.ebay.com (Postfix) with SMTP id 90923A9A49 for ; Sun, 5 Dec 1999 21:00:15 -0800 (PST) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Interesting item on eBay web site item#212853272: 4 ANTIQUE WOODEN SHOE LASTS / SHOE FORMS Date: Sun, 05 Dec 1999 20:59:34 Pacific Standard Time Message-Id: <19991206050015.90923A9A49@centaur.qa.ebay.com> Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: joanj@quiknet.com I saw this item for sale at eBay and thought that someone on the list might be interested.

By perfectionists I mean those folks so hung up on being perfect that they can't see any reason not to be. This makes them unreasonably narrow in outlook, and they become rude when dealing with other people who have different goals. I can't imagine you are what I would call a perfectionist, regardless of your apparently very high standards.

I immediately logged on to Amazon.com, and ordered both the Fashion book and the Williamsburg patterns. The Fashion book was $42, rather than the $60 given in the review. I have already received it, and after a quick glance decided I would be doing a lot of drooling - great pics! The other one Amazon says it has reserved and will ship when it comes out in February. As to machines, we tend to the high end - I have a Janome/New Home Memory Craft 8000, about 6 years old, and it's had no major repairs - just a tune up now and then. It was one of the first embroidery machines, which I wanted, and it sews very well. My husband just got his new toy - Husquvarna (Viking) new Designer-1. We still have my first machine - a 18 yr old or so Kenmore, which gets used for all the really heavy-duty stuff, as sometimes I don't want the automatic full-stitch-with-one-tap operation of the computer machines. This was one of the "Super High Bar" Kenmores - the main reason I got a new machine was it was just too darned hard to find feet to fit it. It's gone thru thick leather, 8 layers of canvas, plastic canvas, whatever, no problem. We also have my mothers (less than 10 yo) Singer - it's a piece of junk. Just my .02 worth.

Someone suggested I ask in the vet to see if they could suggest something and they sold me a huge spray-can of stuff that also does for fleas and other nasties that can effect pets. Treating the house with it involved spraying everything (starting with the rooms farthest from the door and working towards the door) before leaving for work in the mornin, then leaving allt he doors and windows open for at least 30 minutes when we returned in order to get trid of the fumes.... But it worked - killed the little buggers and stopped their young-uns from hatching/developing. It said on the can it was effective for up to 7 months. About 18 months later there was a repeat of the problem but much smaller and more "localized" (traced to something that was brought into the house). We retreated the entire place, just to be sure, and haven't had problems with it since.... We're considering setting up a "decontamination unit" in the shed - any fabric items we buy will be hung in there and sprayed before they're allowed in the house.... either that or we put a sewing machine and extension-lead out there so we can zig-zag the edges of new fabrics then put them into the machine for a good boil before they can contaminate the rest of the collection....

Teddy Is it Nuvan-Tops ? comes in two very expensive cans one for the house and one for cats dogs etc. If so yes it is tedious but effective but when you get cat number 7 your clothes are in tatters anyway. They also recognise the colour of the can the next time around. Only do one room at a time though - if you do the house in one go - you have to put up a tent in the back yard- I know.

What do you mean by nice garb? With the smalls, I've found that just having a t-tunic of a soft material is best... tights if you can get them on them... I got some other kids interested in the medieval moccs by wondering out loud if they were *old* enough to wear them. The other type of shoes I use are so close to sneakers that I never had trouble with either of the kids and boots are made for stomping so they're fairly easy! I found too that it was easier to get the kids into garb that they had helped pick out (eg picked out the fabric from my stock or the store). You might try asking him what he doesn't like about garb. I know some kids don't like certain fabric and if he'll wear a t-shirt it may be that switching to something like a cotton flannel or a soft linen might help. > I'm not saying that everyone whose children run around in modern > clothes to costume events are in the same boat. I just want to remind > the list that there are often reasons we don't know for things we find > inexplicable in others. But of course, we all know this. Sometimes we > just need a reminder. True... but I must say that my first instinct is still to feel jarred by it... otoh seeing one with arms on it would lessen that tremendously! Most of the parents I've talked to who's kids aren't dressed (most of them aren't making *any* kind of attempt) say "well, kids won't wear this kind of stuff"... usually while my kids in garb (her in chemise & irish, him in t-tunic & tights or tight sweatpants or nothing depending on the season) are standing right beside me.

I'm constantly trying to beat into the heads of a few of my fellow reenactors that EVERYTHING I've seen from period (mid-18th c.) was MUCH finer than anything we moderns could reproduce by hand without lots and lots of practice. (Ok, so I could actually do a halfway decent job on some common objects. But I've been hand-sewing since I was small, just because I like it. And I still couldn't possibly replicate some of the handwork done on objects I've seen from the DAR costume collection.) Same goes for other hand-made objects from the period -- people did things well and expected them to last, by and large. Our consumer culture, where furniture is made of fiber-board and discarded after five years, has simply ruined people's appreciation for how much work and care went into making things and making sure they LASTED.

Maybe quarantine would solve the problem for these items. If any signs of infestation appeared, the poison could go into the quarantine bag.

McLean" My then 2 year old son ONCE staunchly refused to change at an event. He WOULD NOT consider it on any terms. Now, this kid had been better dressed at events than the average peer form day one, so this was not a normal thing. So, considering that a happy kid in sweats was MUCH more appealing than a well dressed unhappy kid, I left the matter. This also avoided future problems. Well. This kicked up a furor of epic porportions. Folks were /purportedly/ talking about violations of corpora. I was, naturally, very offended. Turns out, no-one other than the individual who mentioned it to me had heard anything about this. My point is that we must do our best within reason, and anyone who objects politely is /welcome/ to make my son a new wardrobe; ill mannered rudesbys might be invited to bite a rude portion of my anatomy. I am certainly devoted to authenticity, but for myself. I will happily give advice to any who /ask/. I consider it the height of bad manners to presume to criticize unasked. Besides, as Lady Tudor Glitz was told "telling people something isn't period isn't period". I really wish that people would get their heads out of dark brown places and get lives. mm (great milennial initials, non?) _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Dec 6 15:19:34 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA19598 for ; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 15:19:33 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA21565; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:22:17 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA27373 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:22:07 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from ntserver1.mainsaver.com ([206.17.202.2]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA27357 for ; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:22:05 -0700 (MST) Received: by HP-LH3 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 13:13:22 -0800 Message-ID: <5B38B8D7EED8D211997F00A0C9E57FB91DB678@HP-LH3> From: MAGGIE SECARA To: "'h-costume@indra.com'" Subject: RE: H-COST: Authenticity "Enforcers" Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 13:13:18 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: MAGGIE SECARA No one said there WAS no pink. They said we couldn't WEAR pink. Actually, they said no pastels. One group or another (military? maybe others, not the Court) said don't wear pink. This was a theatrical decision, nothing more, like reserving purple for the queen, even tho the queen at RPF North and South (California) hasn't worn purple in years. The audience percieves that anyone wearing purple is royalty, and they don't want to confuse things. It's a theatrical decision they (the Faire) were not required to defend, it being their show. I'm not sure what the ban on pink (except when legitimately faded from red) was about; possibly just to maintain the manly manliness of the soldiery. On the other hand, I have a seal brown "Cranach" dress which skirt is completely lined in a sort of salmon pink faille and no one ever cared. Pity it no longer fits.

Each has 12 to 15 yards on it. The price at the rummage sale was right... $10 a bolt!!!!! Why so cheap? because the plaid is ORANGE! ... I mean electric orange....and black and yellow on a white ground. Now I know they can be dipped to kill and change the colors to a more acceptable combination. My question is: what to use? I'm not a dyer but I use to be dye master for the local Shakespeare Festival years ago. All we ever used was Tintex or Rit. All that's available here is Rit or Dylon cold dye. In fact I just happen to have about 6 little packages of Dylon in "Moon Blue"...a pale grey/blue. I thought I'd use it to tint a length of this orange plait silk. What do ya think? I can follow the directions and do enough for a dress. I thought I'd dip some other lengths in different tints...mint green or a purple-brown. Is there another dye I could use to get good results on a 6 or 7 yard length. I only have a stove, hot plates, wash tubs, and a washing machine for equipment. Should I stick with cold water or just [as I have in the past] use hot water & Rit? Rit is fine for stage but I'd hate to make something, sell it and then have it fade! _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Dec 6 15:28:08 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA19619 for ; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 15:28:07 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA24807; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:40:25 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA02629 for h-costume-outgoing; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:39:47 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail.xmission.com (mail.xmission.com [198.60.22.22]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA02619 for ; Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:39:46 -0700 (MST) Received: from [166.70.12.200] (helo=[166.70.12.200]) by mail.xmission.com with esmtp (Exim 3.03 #3) id 11v5rB-0006k9-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Mon, 06 Dec 1999 14:39:42 -0700 X-Sender: Francesca.da.Bari@pop.netaddress.com Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <384BCB38.7036B71D@home.com> References: <0.3c9af502.257d1b12@aol.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Mon, 6 Dec 1999 14:52:11 -0700 To: h-costume@indra.com From: Karalee Larsen Pugmire Subject: Re: H-COST: tshirt t-tunics Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Karalee Larsen Pugmire I guess I'm lucky. My daughter, who changes clothing three or four times a day loves her SCA garb. Frankly I can't get her out of it. I've had to close my eyes and just take her places because I didn't have time for the battle of changing into modern clothes. I have fun using her for a barbie to try out new designs. At first I couldn't get head dresses on her but lately she's begun showing real interest in wearing mine so I'm planning on making her several things like padded rolls and such that can be taken off easily, adjusted and then primped in front of a mirror by an extremely independent high functioning autistic child.

The moon blue might give you an all-over muted look, but it depends on how bright that orange is. The mint green sounds to me like it would give you an all-over muddy look. I opt for not dyeing it, either. By the way, are you sure it's silk? It could be acetate, in which case all the caveats of dyeing still apply.

When my niece, age 5, asked me for a Barbie many years ago, I threw away the store-bought clothes and created a decent wardrobe for her -- business suit, sportwear skirts, slacks, and tops, a pretty evening gown, a bridal dress made out of an old silk blouse--so she didn't look like a hooker. Pardon me, but 16 years ago, it was inconceivable to me that parents would buy her for their girls. I loved the role of indulgent aunt, but was only willing to go so far! The whole wardrobe, including the little wire hangers I made, is still intact, quite the complement. Old fuddy duddy here . . . .

It is just absolutely fantastic!!! One of the ever best books I have seen so far on the late 17th century, admittedly, the 1660s. Wonderful, lovely, my bible. Picard isn't a historian, but a lawyer, and thus all the wonderful 'evidence' is there. Everyday life from brushing one's teeth to monthly hygiene over clothes to statsitics and god knows what else. It's a book of little details sort of > like "What Jane Austen Ate, What Charles Dickens Knew" or whichever way it > goes, grouped by category and largely gleaned from Pepys' diaries. Every and of course John Evelyn as well, and Hutchinson. > now and then I run across something I think sounds "off" but it's not my > period really, so I don't like to trust that first reaction alone. Do trust this book. *nods* What might sound "off" to you is not off, but the truth. I have a very large and tall bookshelf from the floor to the ceiling with almost exclusively books on the late 17th century Baroque period, I live and breathe for the French and English Baroque ;-), and Picard has researched her book extremely well. Plus she almost always gives the source for her facts, which means no arguing with her, because it was written down by contemporaries. *S* It's my period, really, and I highly recommend the book to everyone interested in the period. Around 8 pounds sterling. Nicole ************************ N.

I don't know about 'coronation robes' but in King Childerich's grave (died 481), which was a huge grave arrangement, with hill and everything and horse graves arranged around his grave chamber, there were found these gold bees. The grave was opened in the 18th century, and unfortunately most of the gold artefacts (there were innumerable ones) were stolen from the archaeologists and molten down. Thus only (fortunately very detailed and accurate) coloured engravings of all the finds remain. The bees must have been beautiful. But Childerich was dressed in late Roman-Germanic dress and weapons, a combination. An extensive discussion of the grave and the finds, as well as the 18th century engravings of the bees can be found in the two volume German exhibition catalogue 'the Franks' from a touring large exhibition in the 90s.

So this isn't just coming from a Ren Faire angle. Or maybe it is and it has filtered into the SCA. And I have a personal theory. No historical precedent, no documentation, just my own fevered imagination. One summer night about 9:00 PM, I was driving back to Boise from an event in Jerome, Idaho. That means I would be traveling west into the sunset. As I am driving along, the sun is just slipping out from below the clouds of a small thunderstorm to behind the horizon, off to the left is a curtain of rain, with lightning striking in the center. The curtain of rain is neon/dayglow pink, the clouds are white, black and the sky behind them is every shade of vibrant pink and orange that one could imagine. Right then and there I decided, that if a color occurred in nature, then man would try and reproduce it. And there it was, no doubt about it, neon/dayglow pink and orange. So, unless it is a color not found in nature, (I can't think of any myself) I will always be skeptical when someone tells me that a color isn't period. Admittedly the color may not be appropriate for certain times and places, but that doesn't mean it didn't exist. Because I am sure that somewhere, sometime in the past, others saw the same colors I did and admired them enough to recreate them.

One of the ever best books I have > seen so far on the late 17th century, admittedly, the 1660s. I agree. I'd read a review of it in the LA times about 2 years ago but couldn't get the book here in the states, so when I went to England last year in May, I bought it there and read it in the week we were on a tour of north England and Scotland. I thought it was terrific. > Wonderful, lovely, my bible. Picard isn't a historian, but a lawyer, > and thus all the wonderful 'evidence' is there.

Every True, but what's the objection? Pepys *did* live in the period - if he doesn't know what he's talking about who does? And Picard's research was all based on original sources from what I understand from the review I read. Hardly any of it, if any, was based on secondary accounts. It was a fascinating read.

A lot of the 40s, 50s and 60s models came in green, pink, or tan (featherweights came in all 3 I think, as well as white).

There is enough yellow & white in it to turn it a brown, green & pale blue plaid. Mint would turn it and different brown, different green and mint plaid. A brown will yield a plaid of rich browns. I plan to do samples before dunking the entire bolt. It is silk. I have, for Interview with the Vampire, dyed in hot water & tan Rit a piece of the same stuff in red white & blue, which tuned out very nice but not as stiff as before dying. Some spray starch and an industrial iron made it look very nice. That's why I want to try cold water.

The princess lines flared deeply at the hip and just beyond (it only went just beyond). The bottoms were cut like slightly over large undies and showed whenever you moved. I made it out of a slinky synthetic knit.

When I first started participating in Renaissance Faires, I was told that the rule of thumb was -- if you can figure out how to get a color with nature, then you can use it. The point is, if you research and can find plants, bark, berries, etc. to get a certain color, chances are high that they did too.

As I recall it sounded vaguely "dynamic"... if that makes any sense. The strange thing is that another friend (a vet) told me later that the stuff *doesn't* work on moth or carpet beetle, other than killing off the existing ones (and anything else that breathes in too much of it). All I can say is that it worked on the ones we had - killed the existing ones and stopped the young ones from developing.

I would NEVER tell the parents or child that it was bad... I do sometimes ask why as nicely as I can because there have been times when I've run across someone who wasn't wearing something because their only piece of garb had been damaged or the child's garb wasn't finished etc. and I've been able to provide/find something suitable. Certainly if a parent says to me that they've tried and can't get the child to wear garb... while I might make suggestions on how to change this I will sympathize and think nothing bad about them... it's the ones who just blithely say, "oh, well, he's just a kid... they *won't* wear garb" without having even bothered to try that annoy me... and even then I'll just nod sagaciously and go on my way.

In many periods of history nails were used only for rough work. They are a rather labor intensive item as they need to be drawn and forged. Screws were definitely not used. However, wooden pegs were used for finer work like nice boxes and floors. Joints (like dovetail joints) were often used as well. Nails have their place but many floors especially were pegged together with doweling. Doweling is comparatively fast to make and holds well because it will generally swell just slightly after being put in (where nails progressively work looser with time.)

Folks may have enjoyed it at times. However, it was not as popular amongst the people who bought cloth as one might think. Yes, they did have it (and peach) but it is our *modern* aesthetics which says they would like it if we do. They had different attitudes about this. That's why the old saw "if they could have had it they would have used it" doesn't work when studying history. There are a lot of things they could have done and didn't because they didn't like it. It wasn't their style. Pink is one of those things which could be done and was done some, but wasn't as popular as it is now. Kat Kat(June Russell) kat@grendal.rain.com Heu!

I have an Elna from the early 80's ($400.00)- It clothed my children and has been a work horse with very little maintenance.(no plastic interior parts) A Singer "Jeans Machine" from the 90's ($200.00 range)- It works well but its stitch speed could be faster, and I have continual trouble with the thread not seating properly when threaded (have to constantly make sure it is snug in the thread tension wheel) And I am tking it too the repair person to frequently. A Viking 1000 from the 93/4 ($1200.00 range)- My main machine right now, has been put through extensive abuse doing Ren clothes for 6 years now, no real maintenance. A Singer Industrial Needle Feed from the 60's (used $500.00)- FAST, fast fast... straight stitch only, and sounds like a jet plane when you start it up. Use this for long runs of straight seams. Love it for velvet/satin A Babylock Serger from 94 ($800.00 range)- Has always performed well, although it needs to be adjusted for each fabric change. A Singer "Featherweight" from 1929 (Swapped costume for this machine)- Incredible straight stitch, it goes forward and backwards, used for incredibly sheer fabric such as silk gauze and for topstitching, the feed dog plate has only a small hole about the size of a "pencil lead" so sheer fabrics do not get pulled into the feed dog area. Been told it is a favorite of quilters. Remember one thing... When you do go to buy a machine, take your own bag of scraps to sew on. Make sure you take fabric that you frequently sew. Brocades, denims, velvets.. All react quite differently than those small scraps of cottons and polyester they usually use at the demo table. The main feature you should consider looking for is a walking foot machine, or one that has a walking foot option. Or if you can find it, a needle feed machine. (Needle moves with the fabric as it sews)... With either of these you will not have near the problem with the lower fabric creeping through faster than the upper fabric. And of course any of the other bells and whistles.. Me.. I am looking for an embroidery machine that does not cost a fortune and lets me use my own designs. I have no desire or need to get a mchine that offers a 1000 designs some one else did. So why should I have to pay for them.

I mean electric orange....and black and yellow on a white ground. Now I know they can be dipped to kill and change the colors to a more acceptable combination. My question is: what to use? I'm not a dyer but I use to be dye master for the local Shakespeare Festival years ago. All we ever used was Tintex or Rit. All that's available here is Rit or Dylon cold dye. In fact I just happen to have about 6 little packages of Dylon in "Moon Blue"...a pale grey/blue. I thought I'd use it to tint a length of this orange plait silk. What do ya think? I can follow the directions and do enough for a dress. I thought I'd dip some other lengths in different tints...mint green or a purple-brown. Is there another dye I could use to get good results on a 6 or 7 yard length. I only have a stove, hot plates, wash tubs, and a washing machine for equipment. Should I stick with cold water or just [as I have in the past] use hot water & Rit? Rit is fine for stage but I'd hate to make something, sell it and then have it fade! __________________ >> Finally, a question that I can answer! I have been dying silk for that last 5 years or so for costuming purposes. I can say that Rit really is not a good choice as it never seems to stop bleeding. You need a good acid dye. Why not try Dharma Trading Co. http://www.dharmatrading.com/ I have successfully dyed 10 yard lengths with little to no streaks in it in the washing machine. Using the recommended oil helps keep the color even.

I can't decide whether this falls into the medieval practice of trying to tie everything into the Bible, whether there was historic documentation or not, or whether there might have been something to it, since a good number of Jewish exiles after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD did wind up in what was then southern Roman Gaul. Who knows? But they might have believed it themselves, whether it's true or not, in which case the bees might have to do with that. I was thinking that David killed a lion, but I'm mistaken, it's Samson who killed the lion then returned later to find that bees had taken up residence in the skull. Still, there might be a tie-in, symbolically. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 7 11:10:00 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA26947 for ; Tue, 7 Dec 1999 11:09:59 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA29362; Tue, 7 Dec 1999 10:26:58 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id KAA01325 for h-costume-outgoing; Tue, 7 Dec 1999 10:26:43 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail1.radix.net (mail1.radix.net [207.192.128.31]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA01310 for ; Tue, 7 Dec 1999 10:26:41 -0700 (MST) Received: from saltmine.radix.net (saltmine.radix.net [207.192.128.40]) by mail1.radix.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id MAA03569 for ; Tue, 7 Dec 1999 12:26:39 -0500 (EST) Date: Tue, 7 Dec 1999 12:26:36 -0500 (EST) From: Kevin & Mara Riley To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: OT- Ships/IWTV (was Re: H-COST: A dying silk question In-Reply-To: <0.122f1691.257e012c@aol.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: RO -Poster: Kevin & Mara Riley Since you mentioned Interview with the Vampire -- did you get a chance to see the Schooner Alexandria when she was in New Orleans for the shoot?

I cringed a bit at the original poster saying that if she'd seen a color in nature (i.e., the sunset), then she'd wear it. Well, there are some beautiful colors -- in flowers, bird plumage, etc. -- which, while occuring in nature, are very hard or impossible to acheive with natural dyes. On the other hand, sometimes you'd be surprised what you can find. A good example is orchil, a dye from lichens in the Scottish Hebrides. Yes, you can get brilliant mauves and pinks from this lichen, but it would be SO cost-prohibitive that anything other than a stripe or a bit of trim in this color would be beyond the means of any common person. Likewise with purple -- I got a rather muddy purple (more of a maroon) when I tried overdyeing madder with indigo. The fine ('royal') purples came from that whelk whose name I can't remember right now, and the sheer quantity of shellfish necessary to dye the fabric would have made it very expensive for anyone to wear that particular shade of purple. A good madder red is hard to acheive; usually it comes out barn-red. This color might or might not fade to a nice pink; it depends on the quality of the dye and the skill of the dyer. I think it is possible, but tricky. They obviously did get pinks, if we can rely on the Tres Riches Heures. It would be a good idea to look at existing portraits as a guide to what range of colors was available. The best reds in the Renaissance period were from cochineal or several other insects. This is where you get your true scarlets, and it would probably be very expensive. In the 18th century British army, soldiers' coats were dyed with madder, and the officers' coats with cochineal. I think any reenactor ought to get a good book on natural dyes, just to give them a bit of an eye for the range of colors available.

That's what I was hoping to hear. In fact, I was particularly hoping to hear from you, since I've spent kind of a lot of time on your website lately . The last time I asked about this period, the only reply I got was a pointer to the your URL. Since I was specifically looking for working class costume, it wasn't perhaps exactly to the point, but I've sure been learning a lot! I bought this book particularly hoping to fill in some of the blanks in my general (as well as costume) knowledge, and add credible detail to a work of fiction. My concern wasn't with her sources but with possible flaws in her interpretation of them. Good to know I can rely on her.

I know that it's meant to be silly, but it's sort of a pet (!) peeve of mine: during most of the Middle Ages dogs were most of the time not kept as pets (except for rich and/or noble ladies and wealthy abesses). They were working animals. They were hunters for the nobility and farmers, guardians of property or packanimals. Some of the first might have joined their noble masters during dinner and were probably given scraps (see Duc de Berry in his january portrait) and some lapdogs were very much indulged, but this wasn't the norm. Dogs were certainly not as numerous as today and only from a few breeds.

Unit of money? Yes, it's a French gold coin, coined since 1337 (and often called 'Old Shield' in the early 15th c) by then worth about half of an English noble. On it was the coat of arms of the kings of France, the three fleurs de lis in a shield. Shield in French is 'ecu', of which 'escuz' is the medieval plural. Funny thing is that the new European coin from 1.1.2001 is going to be called 'ecu' again.

That's what makes me happy and worthwhile to spend hundred of hours on the website. And even more, I remembered, since you are looking for working class costume, that I still have engravings from 1689 depicting lower classes. I uploaded them and put them into the galleries. I hope 1689 is a date helpful for you. Go to http://www.kipar.org/galleries.html and then to Baroque Englavings then to 1680s. They are at the bottom.

We are all contemporary with our own fashions and heaven knows we argue all the time over what we wore when and how it was made and what it was (or is) called. Tends to happen every time we talk about the 60s, for example, we find that not everyone remembers the same things or the same way. Facts get interpreted by every witness. No arguing? Not around here.:) I find that re-enactors (including faire people from faires with costume standards) tend to have a much better idea about how clothes fit and were worn than anyone writing from ordinary research.

There is a philosophy whose basic principle is, "There is nothing new under the sun." It is most accurate when applied to fashion.

I have a picture of a full-length portrait of Sir Francis Drake, painted c. 1580-85, in which he is wearing a full suite of clothes in an intense pink: doublet (satin), venetians (velvet), and netherhose (probably knitted in silk), plus cloak (satin). Said doublet worn with white, slashed sleeves (satin). Cloak is lined with black and the black is edged with wide silver lace; the collar and fronts of the cloak are turned to show the black against the pink cloak. He is wearing white shoes inserted into black pantofles (sp?) to protect them. He is holding a soft black hat (looks like velvet) in his hand. And he is wearing a sword and back dagger (you can see the end of the hilt peeking out on his right side). I would like to see anyone accuse *this* seaman of being weak! Looks to me like this color would merit the label "lusty gallant"! >I think any reenactor ought to get a good book on natural dyes, just to >give them a bit of an eye for the range of colors available. I agree completely, Mara. Too many people have no idea what colors are possible with natural dyestuffs. In many cases today's dyestuffs are simply synthetically produced copies of natural plant dyes; indigo is the prime example but it is not alone. Our ancestors found the best sources for red and blue dyes; all we have done is copy them. One thing to remember, silk takes dyes *much* more intensely than wool. Putting silk and wool samples into the same dyebath can be very instructive. Most of the portraits we are using are of people wearing silk fabrics of one sort or another.

My primary machine is a 1961 Model 500A. I'm thinking of one of the fancy embroidery machines (I was looking at the Janome) but since buying a $20 buttonholer for the slant 500A (on Ebay, a wonderful place), I'm less inclined to spend the nearly $2000 on the model I was looking at. I really only wanted it for buttonholes.

Plus, what came out to be very true is the following: lower/working class costume is always 'old fashioned' in the sense of 'keeping one's best clothing for many years'. Thus if you describe 1660s clothing for the 1670s, it wouldn't be wrong. Of course it was impossible for the people to be dressed according to the latest fashion. Unless, of course, it is a maid or manservant in service of a noble or rich person who would then probably be dressed in a simpler version of their Mistress's/Master's high fashion. A lot like nowadays, when cars are a status symbol, or an expensive leash for a dog.

There are paperbacks available. And his descriptions of what he bought for his wife or for himself are really very detailed, he had a keen interest in clothes. After all, he made a career in Restoration London, and again, clothes for himself and his wife were a status symbol of his upgoing in society. All the best Nicole ************************ N.

Without the photographs etc. how else would people describe colours than with reference to known items? Does anyone know when pinks were introduced? (All my fathers pinks are white!) The textile artist who has recreated some of the painted textiles for Hampton court warns of using paintings as evidence for fabric colours. For years I'd been told that orange carrots didn't exist until the 18th century, then one day I was shown a beautiful gardening book from 1638 which described both red and white carrots. The hand coloured illustration was of orange carrots. This got me thinking, as I have two red haired daughters who were curious as to why their orangey blonde hair was called red? Perhaps it's because oranges were relatively rare so the common association of colour with the fruit wasn't used until later? Modern colour descriptions tend to be more mundane anyway. As to bright colours, I finally got to see goose turds! Rather than the muted green I thought goose turd green would be it was a strange bright yellowy green.

In Flemish genre paintings of the time, most women are shown either wearing a black partlet with a flared collar, or a white partlet of the same shape. Partlets with ruffs attached to a collar band began appearing in late 1560s paintings, and were ubiquitous in paintings of the 1570s. These partlets were a feather of lower-class or servants' dress; I haven't seen them worn with upper class or merchant class dress in the 1570s.

I know that's not your intention, but... There ARE new things, and we DO need to figure out what's appropriate for our period before doing it. The people who assume that some things are not period without doing their research and the people who assume that some things are period without doing their research are both at fault. We need a careful balance between 'Nobody has ever done that' and 'Surely somebody did that', and that balance is mediated by research.

Ugh -- I hate to hear about people doing that. We have so little respect for our sailing heritage... The Alexandria was built in 1929, a traditional Baltic schooner, so she's not as big a loss as, say, a historic vessel. They're still building ships like her in the Baltic, I'm happy to say. I know Anne Rice fans had problems with IWTV, but the movie (and our ship's involvement with it) at least got me to read her books! I'd never heard of her before.

However, I disagree that modern synthetic dyes are usually copies of natural dyes. I'm thinking in particular of a gawd-awful piece of neon-green woolen fabric, the posessor of whom will remain nameless. I refuse to believe that that neon green was acheivable in the 18th century, on wool. I've never seen a similar shade in any period portraits, and I don't think I could even begin to duplicate it using natural dyes. Fortunately, such lapses in color judgement are rare :D Usually I fall on the side of the argument that says we would be simply amazed at the wonderful and creative things our ancestors could do. But that simply MUST be tempered with caution and research.

Pinks by the 16th century were a range of colors but what we now call pink is one of them (as can be seen by portraits of the time). Tudor times was one of the first times when pink as a color for clothing was popular (the ones in Tres Riche Heurs being a rarity, not a common color at the time). They became more popular as you get to Elizabethan times. They were probably made with either lichens (for small amounts such as used in embroidery or tapestries) and either madder or kermes (madder giving a more brick pink) pre1500, then cochineal after 1500. > The textile artist who has recreated some of the painted textiles for > Hampton court warns of using paintings as evidence for fabric colours. You can find pink in tapestries from the time periods pre1600 and there are color descriptions in manuscripts which help as well. Manuscripts, wills and inventories give us an idea of how common colors were. > For years I'd been told that orange carrots didn't exist until the 18th > century, then one day I was shown a beautiful gardening book from 1638 which > described both red and white carrots.

It's either 1604 or 1607) there were yellow, white and purple carrots. There was a new mutation which was so dominant, it became just about the only color available. Although you can sometimes find seeds for white carrots (which look more like parsnips but taste like carrots) in catalogs which specialize in "old varieties", you can't get the yellow or purple anymore. Also, if you grow the white ones anywhere near where there are orange ones, the next years seeds are going to grow orange ones. (Been there, done that.)

I do know that red hair has been called that from fairly early in history. I come from a very red headed family (which is a recessessive gene but that didn't seem to make a difference in our family.) Our family got its name (Russell) from the french for red in early medieval times. In reading about the family, the "red" is described in many shades from pink to russet to tawny to flaming and many others I'd have to dig out too many sheets of paper to list. I don't know when they started describing it as "orange" or "carroty" but it's probably fairly recent. I think what this whole discussion boils down to is that: 1. even when they could get the color, it wasn't necessarily used. Our modern aethetics doesn't match what they would have liked and what they liked changed from year to year (sometimes regulated by the guilds so that even if you liked it, it wouldn't have been available.) Also even if *you* liked it, you wouldn't be caught dead wearing it because we can get away with individuality now in a way that didn't happen in most other period in Europe. 2. do the research. Don't assume that something popular in 1580 was popular in 1550, let alone 1800 or in 1200, even if you like it. Kat Kat(June Russell) kat@grendal.rain.com Heu!

I always figured that the myth that "Pink isn't period" came from a misinterpretation of the fact that the *word* pink wasn't period (at least not in SCA/Faire periods). The word comes from the name of the flower, which itself was named for its ragged edges (using the earlier meaning of the word "pink," as in pinked edges). It's been a while since I looked this up, so I don't have the dates of the word origins handy, but they're in the OED, among other places. Anyway, I figure the current misunderstanding may have gone like this (over the course of time): Person One: "Did you know the word `pink' isn't period?" Person Two: "Person One says `pink' isn't period." Rest of flock: "Pink isn't period!" Person One may have been a well-read book or article, for that matter. I don't think there's much question that the *color* pink existed. It just wasn't called "pink." --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 Dec 8 12:40:51 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA03131 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 12:40:48 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA14319; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 11:59:14 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id LAA03007 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 11:58:54 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from luna.worldonline.nl (luna.worldonline.nl [195.241.48.131]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA02994 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 11:58:51 -0700 (MST) Received: from worldonline.nl (leda.worldonline.nl [195.241.48.135]) by luna.worldonline.nl (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id TAA23736 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 19:58:41 +0100 (MET) Received: from henk (vp234-112.worldonline.nl [195.241.234.112]) by worldonline.nl (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id TAA00166 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 19:58:31 +0100 (MET) Message-ID: <007801bf41ae$02ed8a20$70eaf1c3@henk> From: "Henk 't Jong - tScapreel" To: References: <199912081648.IAA20239@eclipse.pacifier.com> Subject: Re: H-COST: Re; Pink Date: Wed, 8 Dec 1999 19:25:05 +0100 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: RO -Poster: "Henk 't Jong - tScapreel" Hi List, Kat wrote: > Pinks by the 16th century were a range of colors but what we now call > pink is one of them (as can be seen by portraits of the time).

Just recently I have browsed through thousands of miniatures, mostly in black and white, because the books which published the manuscripts in facsimile at the time (pre World War II) were not in colour, but also lots of them in colour (especially the more recent facsimile's). Apart from such well known MSS as the Maciejowski Bible, the Manesse Codex and The Luttrell Psalter and the Romance of Alexander, there are hundreds more of my period (1250-1350). I can assure you, that lots of cottes, surcottes and several other types of overcoats and mantles are painted in pinks. Of course manuscript colours are not the same as cloth dyes and a painter might have a limited palette, but IMO pink was a pretty common colour before 1400. It might be a costly wool or silk for a noble or rich merchant, or a faded red (Dutch people are mentioned to wear red a lot before 1500) with peasants or artisans, but they are depicted in pinks, yes sir!

The folk process in action! That's exactly what happens. Or someone says "buttons aren't period" or pockets or any number of things. Sometimes they mean "we don't want you to use them" but they don't trust their people, or think everyone is dumb, or what people remember (because someone of them weren't paying attention) and what remains is "it isn't period." Sad but true. This is probably how someone arrived at the "knowledge" that metal isn't period, too. :) MaggiRos _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Dec 8 13:30:22 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA03267 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 13:30:18 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA24458; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 12:48:20 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA16877 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 12:47:52 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail.rdc1.wa.home.com (imail@ha1.rdc1.wa.home.com [24.0.2.66]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA16865 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 12:47:50 -0700 (MST) Received: from [24.9.58.36] by mail.rdc1.wa.home.com (InterMail v4.01.01.00 201-229-111) with ESMTP id <19991208194749.TWJR20526.mail.rdc1.wa.home.com@[24.9.58.36]> for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 11:47:49 -0800 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express for Macintosh - 4.0c (197) Date: Wed, 08 Dec 1999 11:52:24 -0800 Subject: FW: H-COST: Re: Fashion in the Age of the Black Prince From: "R.L.

We do know of many nick names in many languages for people with red hair, but was this the same as the term 'red hair' in the particular language? (I'm sort of playing devil's advocate, because I don't know one way or the other.) > I come from a very red headed family (which is a recessessive > gene but that didn't seem to make a difference in our family.) Hair color (unlike eye color) is not controlled by only one gene. The gene for red hair is not the same as the gene for blonde versus brunette. That's why you can have a broad range of red hair tones from blondes with just a hint of red through Raggedy Ann red and auburn to a dark brown with just a hint of red. > Our family got its name (Russell) from the french for red in early > medieval times. There is a widespread misconception that names have or had a meaning. While many of the words that became did have a meaning, once they are used as a label for a person they quickly lose their meaning. 'Thomas' meant 'twin' in Aramaic, but how many do you know that are given that name because they are one of a set of twins? Of course, it's possible that 'Russell' did come from a nickname for a red head, but there are plenty of other possibilities. (For example, it could be used for the ruddy complexion of someone that regularly worked the field...a medieval 'red-neck', if you will.) Sorry about wandering, but names and languages are a hobby. :-} 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 Wed Dec 8 15:03:44 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA03505 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 15:03:43 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA08844; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 14:22:49 -0700 (MST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA13429 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 14:22:31 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from bodyguard.apsc.com (bodyguard.apsc.com [137.91.114.1]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA13414 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 14:22:28 -0700 (MST) Received: from mailhub.apsc.com (mailhub.apsc.commailhub.apsc.com [137.91.1.30]) by apsc.com (8.8.8+Sun/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA28620 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 14:38:05 -0700 (MST) Received: from nt170.apsc.com (nt170.apsc.com [137.91.1.61]) by mailhub.apsc.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA21684 for ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 14:22:19 -0700 (MST) Received: by nt170.apsc.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Wed, 8 Dec 1999 14:22:13 -0700 Message-ID: <7F402D0574C3D011ACF000A0C92B23D3025E1126@nt13pv.apsc.com> From: "Knauf, Saragrace T(Z02001)" To: "'h-costume@indra.com'" Subject: H-COST: Recycling clothing 'Fashion in Detail new book:' was Slub, dyed fur, differences in fabric treatments Date: Wed, 8 Dec 1999 14:22:02 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: "Knauf, Saragrace T(Z02001)" I guess one could argue that it is not technically upholstery fabric, but subject book has several clothing items that were made from bedspreads.

Perhaps she suffers from Black and White book photo syndrome :-) I believe there are some descriptions and black and white photos of some very detailed muli-colored brocades in the Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd. There are additional descriptions in text. Also there are some examples in Five Centuries of Italian Textiles, A Selection from the Museo del Tessuto Prato 1300-1800 (No ISBN) organized by Rosalia Bonito Fanelli 1981 One thing to be careful of is popularity and fashion in period, and just because it was possible, doesn't mean a particular pattern or color combination was worn as clothing. By the pictoral evidence I have, I would say that 3 or more colored brocades in Europe became much more popular after 1600, though there seemed to be a brief fad in the late 15th c Italy. Early 16th c German costumes are usually single colored or two colored. When they are two-toned, inevitably one of the colors is black, white/silver, or orange/gold. Their clothing brocade choices seemed to tend toward heraldic color mixtures in taste, yet background furniture textiles are more often multicolored brocades. In the book Textiler Hausrat, Kleidung un Haustextilien in Nurnberg von 1500-1600 by Zander-Seidel, there are chapters devoted to house textiles. These were often woven specifically for various household purposes or decoration and clearly had some popular patterns and weaves. IMHO, we don't wear upholstery fabric now and they didn't then. In general, I admit I tend to steer people away from brocades, mostly because it takes a lot of study, analysis and somewhat of a good eye to pick out a "period" brocade. Some of the ones I've seen people pick just come out badly. When I was costume director of a Landsknecht re-enacting group, I always pleaded with people to get swatches before purchasing that showed the whole pattern. I hate to see people spend time and effort into something that is just not right. The funny thing is that some very interesting patterns can be found in period brocades. Some are very modern geometric looking.

Gotta get home and see if I can dig up the URL, however, because the index to date is inadequate. You can hunt and peck very happily through the images index, but not if you are in a hurry! Diderot's was fist published in approximately 1766. Banyans got more tailored towards the 3/4 mark in the century, but for mid-century, I think the Diderot's pattern is good.

Not to disagree with you, but I think both kinds of pink must have been in use at the same time.

There are a lot of dogs in German woodcuts. And some of them seem to be pets of poor people, like the campfollowers carrying their little dog and the other dogs just hanging out with the baggage train. They are shown in peasant holiday scenes too. There are quite a few little Lion dogs, maybe precursors of poodles, tiny dogs with a lion haircut that some people are trying to recreate now. There are quite a few dogs shown in feast scenes too. Now these were probably hunting dogs for the most part, but that doen't mean they wouldn't be pets too. Is this related to costuming? I dunno, I always considered my Anatolian Shepherd dogs to be great accessories... especially for Turkish clothes...(but they look more like pre-16th c mastiffs than the modern "Englis" Mastiffs).

There are, in our family records (which go back quite a ways, definitely to the medieval times) quotes about the hair of the members of the family and its various names for the red hair.

For the previous 20 years I had been doing it for free for friends/family around Halloween or special events. The first 3 years I reported a loss, due to: poor pricing, doing favors and purchasing equipment, and remodeling my basement into a studio. The past 3 I have reported income. Each year is a little better as I become a better business person. The most important lesson to learn is while you might be a fantastic seamstress/tailor, you will only succeed financially if you learn to be a fantastic business manager also. This means you need to seriously look at how long it takes to do something and price it according to how much you want to make an hour (above and beyond the costs for supplies). And stick to it. NO EXCEPTIONS. (I don't charge my family for stuff obviously, but they do not get items sewn as quickly either) Before I learned that lesson, while I enjoyed the actual sewing of the items, I certainly felt under-appreciated and under-paid. I realized that if I did not value my work enough to charge a decent price for it, how could I expect others to? I would definetly read Margo's information, it is well written and informative. Then I suggest you go to the library and check out books on how to succeed at small business. While they may not all apply to your particular circumstance there will be some hard and fast rules that apply to every business. And I never do sewing favors for friends. Don't get me wrong, I love and value my friends, but once they become a client (paying or not) the relationship changes somehow. I have swapped favors with friends, some kind of fair trade... I made a set of undergarments (corset/bloomers/chemise), and got my bathroom scrubbed from ceiling to floor. We both were thrilled at the outcome. Now for your questions: I really still enjoy sewing. I sell to everyone who is willing to pay a fair price. I primarily do costuming for Renaissance Events, and a few special needs clients. I sew as I'm commissioned. And am getting geared up for doing somethings online in the future. Linda I love it when our renfair ends, I get a life again for a few months and get caught up on the list!!!!

Um... are either of these based on actual tartans from before they were outlawed (following the 1745 uprising), or were these some of the many that were invented during the Victorian era, when tartans became all the rage? 'Clan Tartans' are a common misconception -- if you look at the portraits of Higland nobility from the 17th/18th centuries, you'll often see them wearing multiple patterns of tartan at once, and in wildly conflicting patterns (the predecessor of tacky golf clothing, I guess!). There is one mention of a particular lord having his attendants dressed in tartan woven from particular colors, but a sett (pattern) is not mentioned, so this isn't much different from an English lord clothing his staff in a particular set of colors for their livery. There are no mentions of 'Clan Tartans' before the Victorian era. And there are very few tartans that are actually based on pre-1745 patterns. Martin Martin, I believe, remarks that one could make a good guess at what area someone came from based on the pattern of their plaid; but that's different from having clan tartans. All that means is that weavers in a particular area tended to turn out patterns of a certain type, and weavers in the next glen wove patterns that were a little different.

I'm sorry that there doesn't seem to be an accessible, easily understood resource about what colors were popular (and available!) when. It's too bad that theatrical decisions get taken as authoritative statements about what was or wasn't done when -- but it seems to me that the argument "well, they could have done it, so someone must have" is equally specious. Lots of colors are possible today, but not used, and we seem to have much more of an "anything goes" attitude about color in clothes. So someone COULD have produced a particular color with plants in the area. But how often would that person have been dying fabric, and what other colors might he/she have chosen to make? How much cloth did a person dye and how much did he buy already dyed or made up? How many colors did a merchant dye a year -- lots, or just a few? Would a "typical" person (if there is any such thing) have spent a lot of money to get a few expensive and perhaps hard-to-dye things, or have gotten more, less expensive things? We see both kinds of behavior today. My point is that color is a complicated issue, and blanket statements just won't work. If I were worried about historical accuracy, I would stick to extant garments and try to copy them. I do earlier periods where there are no extant garments, and even the artwork (illuminations) can't be considered accurate depictions of colors. So I don't worry about it, except to steer clear of things available only in modern dyes. That's my solution and it won't work for everyone. Someday it may not work for me, either!

Mathews" This is not my particular time period nor geographic area ( I attempt to do late tudor ) but, I did not find fault with what this costumer was trying to do. Up front, she states that the customer wanted something different than what " correct " Highland attire would have been and states why. This costumer also states that this is not " period correct " and it is a " costume " for fun rather than a reinactment gown. As long as both the parties understand what the changes are and why then I do not see a problem with modifications and liberties. I myself have a couple of " costumes " that I would not wear to an SCA event but have a lot of FUN with at parties and I do not have to worry about my detailed and expensive court gowns being spoiled. Like I said---I do NOT know ANYTHING about Highland attire but felt this person openly admitted that this was not what she would have called " Period Correct ".

The gown in question is pretty and appears to be very well made. It also fulfills its basic purpose, as the maker states on the website: >I feel like the dress was a reasonable hybrid of the simplicity of shape that the Highland gowns had, while incorporating Nancy's wishes for something more frivolous and feminine, without going over the top > > Her client wanted a pretty and dramatic 18th century inspired gown to wear to a Highland Games. she didn't ask for a meticulous historical reproduction, and there was no reason to make one. It would have been nice if the page had been titled " Highland Inpired Gown", but that's quibbling. The content of the page makes it quite clear what the goal was. Now, as to the actual question in the original post, yes, Racinet was Victorian (1840's I believe) and, like most costume infomation of the time, is not a terribly good source. It is, however, widely available in libraries and bookstores, which accounts for its use by so many people.

When he got a kilt made this year from that same Scottish textile manufacturer, it came as a lt. brown based, irregular plaid. Since he's a bit wide, and the stronger color stripe is side to side, it's not very flattering. Have you heard that there are clan tartans that are irregular plaids, especially with a paler cross stripe? I think the manufacturer goofed. -- Janice Dallas Boston,MA area, USA JaniceDals@MediaOne.net "Just so, the girl has beauty, virtue, wit..." _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 9 13:33:05 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA10337 for ; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 13:33:02 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA26724; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 12:49:43 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id KAA28359 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 10:38:57 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from web2104.mail.yahoo.com (web2104.mail.yahoo.com [128.11.68.248]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id KAA28344 for ; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 10:38:54 -0700 (MST) Received: (qmail 10636 invoked by uid 60001); 9 Dec 1999 17:37:11 -0000 Message-ID: <19991209173711.10635.qmail@web2104.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [63.21.254.16] by web2104.mail.yahoo.com; Thu, 09 Dec 1999 09:37:11 PST Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1999 09:37:11 -0800 (PST) From: Kristen Morgaine Sieber Subject: H-COST: posting URLs To: SCA-Arts list , SCA-Garb list , Historic Needlework , Historic Costume , An Tir list , Aquaterra list 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: RO -Poster: Kristen Morgaine Sieber Please, if you are posting a URL (for us lazy people), can you type the WHOLE address, i.e. "http://..." etc?

If anyone else has done >business with them, would you please post me privately and let me know? I ordered some "burnt orange hemp cloth", because i was curious about hemp cloth and the price was right :-) (it was only $1US per yard) Then i ordered several other fabrics, all linens at around $1US, or a tad more, per yard. My total was around 24 yards of fabric for around $26. Did this all on the web site. Got e-mail confirmation of receipt of my order, then a more personal e-mail saying approximately when it would be sent, then an e-mail on the day it was shipped via UPS with the tracking number. And it arrived when it should have. This is my only experience, but it was certainly satisfactory. And i would consider buying from them again.

Remember: most portraits were of well-to-do to rich people, who had the leisure to care for lap dogs. Common to poor people had no time for feeding extra mouths and if a dog was kept for hunting rabbits or guarding the farm it was fed on scraps if they had any (most farmers did...) or had to fend (in the case of hunting dogs, of course) for itself.

What came first the fidelity of the loved dog of somebody or the dog as symbol of fidelity in a painting. Most of the stuff art-hysterians write or say about medieval or renaissance painting sounds as so much balderdash to me. I can't number the older A-H's, including B. Berenson, who have fallen from grace when people started doing real historical research into the lives and worlds of the painters. > > Charles II, on the other hand, just loved his dogs and they really were > pets, not the working dogs of farms and family homes. As everybody knows Charles II is way later than the Middle Ages, but wouldn't his dogs appear in his portraits because he loved them (and gave them his name) than because they stood for fidelity? Incidentally, working dogs can also be loved and were.

Janice, There are irregular plaids in the "clan tartans" lists, though most of the patterns are regular. But it does sound like there is a problem. I would let them know about your bother-in-law's dissatisfaction with the kilt as delivered. I have my copy of The Scottish Lion catalog, but there is no listing for a Dallas tartan (does not mean there isn't one, just that they do not carry it). They are on the web at http://www.scottishlion.com. I hope you can get a satisfactory replacement from the manufacturer.

My society re-enactes the Jacobite rebellion in the Uk. It is now recognised that the 'tartans' are local weaves and dyes just as in most countries. these just happen to be of stripes and checks which were popular 18thc fabric designs anyway, Tartans as we know them are a victorian idea.

Well, they did have soap, but they don't seem to have used it for keeping their hands clean. Until the germ theory was firmly established, the practice of using of soap on hands wasn't as common as it is today (to say the least). The Moslems traditionally use only their right hand for dealing with food at meals, because their left hand is used for dealing with the other end of the digestion process. Childbed fever was still prevalent in the 1800's because doctors didn't wash their hands between the dissecting room and the delivery room. Dr. Semmelweiss was in disagreement with his learned colleagues for suggesting a connexion between one and the other. His students complained about having to do the washing he insisted on, till the death statistics began to weigh in favour of his assertion. I think this was in the 1880's, but I'm not sure. If they'd had libidos they'd have used them. This is probably true for men, but hardly true for most women thru most of history. (I just watched 'Dangerous Beauty' again.)

Can't explain it exactly.... Now to answer your questions: 1. Are you glad you made the jump to professional? Well, I still have a hard time calling myself "professional," since I do not have a degree in costume or fashion. I learned everything from my amazing mother, who learned from her grandmother. What she doesn't know isn't worth knowing! She is a fabulous seamstress. But, yes, technically I am a pro, since I sell my skills and make everything to a certain standard. And I have thoroughly enjoyed sewing for women all over the world. 2. Do you still enjoy sewing? Yes and no. Some weeks I go through strange fits of wanting to get as far away from my machine as possible. That's when I put all the sewing out of sight for a day and so something completely different. But then the "itch" hits again, and I am back at it. 3. Do you sell to friends AND stranger? Mostly to strangers, but I still sew for friends. 4. Do you prefer one over the other? Not really. 5. Do you sell strictly on-line or strictly at events? 95% of my business comes through the website, and I don't do events, so the rest of the orders are word of mouth or through my print catalogue. 6. Do you have inventory or do you only sew when ordered? Sew when ordered -- definitely! This is a fun and rewarding hobby/business. Jump on in!

No one has ever taken me up on it. Has anyone else tried this? Heather I must say that none of my friends sew, nor are they willing to undertake something like a period costume, even the simplest. I rather enjoy the challenge and the opportunity to make something new, so if fits with my time schedule and they are willing to pay for the majority or all of the materials, then I'll take it on. Only by doing this do I become better with each costume I make. I unfortunately won't spend the time or $$$ to just spontaneously make a ballgown or a frock coat(fabriholic that I am), if I don't have an event to sew one for, so my friends keep me busy in between the "real customers". I did have one friend who wanted an enormous squirrel's tail for a Rocky costume. She bought the fur, she drew and cut out the tail, I sewed it together and she stuffed it. Then we both rigged (and I do mean rigged) it to her person. Now that she knows how easy those things are, and is less daunted by "costuming" by doing something simple, she is more willing to do some of the non-sewing work on more complicated costumes.

Drea and I both picked up copies at Kalamazoo in May. (They had two display copies there, and we grabbed them at a significant discount on the last day. Never could have managed it otherwise.) Though the $150 tag above surprises me. I seem to remember these going for $200, or $160 with conference discount. And conference discount is usually as good as you can possibly find for these things. But I may be wrong, and I don't have the catalog at hand to check. I look forward to seeing volume 2. --Robin _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 9 20:53:29 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA11325 for ; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 20:53:28 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA26623; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 20:12:52 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA12440 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 20:12:42 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from Herb-Lore.com (mail.herb-lore.com [209.141.89.62]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA12431 for ; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 20:12:39 -0700 (MST) Received: from f1 [207.204.223.219] by Herb-Lore.com (SMTPD32-5.05) id ADA74701F8; Thu, 09 Dec 1999 20:12:23 -0700 Message-ID: <001401bf42c4$8d207100$0101a8c0@f1> From: "Heather" To: References: Subject: Re: H-COST: costume business Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1999 20:10:51 -0800 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 5.00.2615.200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2615.200 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: "Heather" > Hi again Heather, > > I also want to say that novice though you may be, if you're on this list, > your costuming standards are likely higher than that of your non-sewing > friends, and if you are refraining from making them costumes because you > think you aren't good enough yet, rethink it!

I cut off a couple of yards to use under my cutwork Thanksgiving tablecloth, then washed it in hot water with some other clothes. I did not notice any shrinkage (I was sort of hoping) and the color seems to have stayed exactly the same, or a bit softer. The color is a sort of red orange/copper color, and really one of my favorites. I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for because of its open weave which makes it a bit light for most outer garb here in AnTir. It will make lovely under tunics though, and I have enough to line the inside of a pavilion if I want to! :-) Reference Phoenix textiles. I've ordered five or six times from them now, and been very happy with their service and prices. The products are as advertised, my only problem is that they aren't necessarily what I expected. The blue 100% wool they had for $1.95 was the greatest bargain I've ever gotten, it washed down to a lovely cobalt with a soft fuzzy nap. This place is a real find, and I'll certainly buy more as they come up with stuff. They are very responsive to customer feedback, so let's all whine about needing plain colored wools and silk! :-) Regina > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-h-costume@indra.com [mailto:owner-h-costume@indra.com]On > Behalf Of Megan McHugh > Sent: Thursday, December 09, 1999 7:09 PM > To: h-costume@indra.com > Subject: Re: H-COST: Re: phoenix textiles > > > > -Poster: "Megan McHugh" > > ><< I ordered some "burnt orange hemp cloth", because I was curious about > > hemp cloth and the price was right :-) >> > > > I got some too and am still thinking about what to do with it. > It seems to > be a rather open weave.

As all the literature on the web seems geared towards the sun-worshipping type of person (which I'm not), I thought I'd ask you folks for advice. Has anyone been there? Do you have any advice about activities, places to see, items to shop for? Obviously I'm interested in anything having to do with fabric :) but I'd also be interested in whatever local handcrafts may be available.

Perhaps the book (coming from a British publisher) is priced in pounds, and American retailers are basing their prices on different exchange rates from different times. I haven't kept track of currency exchange lately, so I don't know if the rate was significantly different last May compared to now. To answer Fran: Just Volume 1 is out. That's the transcript of the inventories themselves. Volumes 2 and 3 will be commentary, including historical context, analyses of specific categories of objects by various scholars, and plates (both b/w and color). At least that's what Volume 1 promises. --Robin _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 9 23:56:51 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA11658 for ; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 23:56:50 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA13798; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 23:15:57 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id XAA08879 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 23:15:52 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail.rdc1.nj.home.com (imail@ha1.rdc1.nj.home.com [24.3.128.66]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA08866 for ; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 23:15:50 -0700 (MST) Received: from cc1010062a ([24.3.134.203]) by mail.rdc1.nj.home.com (InterMail v4.01.01.00 201-229-111) with SMTP id <19991210061547.TYIB8001.mail.rdc1.nj.home.com@cc1010062a> for ; Thu, 9 Dec 1999 22:15:47 -0800 Message-ID: <01af01bf42d6$0e0052c0$cb860318@avnl1.nj.home.com> From: "Kyna Grannd" To: References: Subject: Re: H-COST: If you liked QE's Wardrobe unlock'd...this may be of interest Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 01:16:10 -0500 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: RO -Poster: "Kyna Grannd" > > -Poster: Robin Netherton > > > Me: > > > Though the $150 tag above surprises me.

It's actually a used one, but I've yet to find anything that would make me think the previous owner even opened the book.

It may be that the University Library, having gotten a standing order for the entire set, and possibly having ordered it before publication, got a discount that the public would not have. I note that is was originally listed at $225.00 for v.1. >I look forward to seeing volume 2. According to Advanced Book Exchange, v.2-3 were also published in 1998.

I have made for museums, films, theatre, private collectors, brides, grooms and re-enactors. I was doing it before I became a re-enactor and this just expanded my market. I don't generally sew for friends anymore as the only times I have been shot in the foot was for friends. I have a very strict business way of working and very tight terms and conditons which are vital. I don't do much re-enactment work and even if I display at shows rarely sell as I am much too expensive having to do this for a living rather than a secondary living means my prices have to be higher. But I am lucky in that I have a very good name over here and people save up to have one of my outfits. The only person who gets freebies is my other half as I experiment with men's styles on him. I have just started selling over the web and have had an excellent response so far which means I don't have to advertise in magazines as much. this should save me a fortune. Although web culture is still new over here so I will still have to do some otf that as well. My advice is to be varied and flexible in what you do Have strict controls on the value of YOUR time and stick to them Have good terms and conditions Learn to say no to a job if it's not right for you (this is the hardest one of all) I do have the girls from my group over to sew as I made a decision when I started to run the 18thc group that they couldn't afford me and I couldn't charge them to have kit made, but as non of them sewed I would rather teach them properly and keep the group at a high dress standard rather than letting them go and get cheap stuff elsewhere.

None of my friends took me up on > the offer, either. Funny, that! I do this all the time (so much that I'm pushed for time to make costumes for *me*). Some of them have gone from strength to strength and started making costumes without my help (occasional phon-calls to check the next step not withstanding....) others turn up when they want a new costume so we can work at it together, others are happy to hold things, hand me things and do the hand finishing (which I *hate* anyway) but won't attempt the "making" part. I can usually tellt he ones who are going to go on to unaccompanied costuming by the way they champ at the bit to go out and get their own sewing machines. My "best-student" made himself a velvet doublet (with my help) as his irst project and followed it up by making his wife a boned bodice and matching skirt with very lottle help at all. I got a delighted message from his wife shortly after that. She'd been away on a daytrrip with her mother and brother and got back to find he'd made a copy of her favourite denim skirt - she'd always said it was a few inches shorter than she liked, so he'd bought the fabric and made a copy of it with the extra few inches of length.

I would say yes. It was sometimes known as shot silk. Hmmm, I should say that changeable taffeta (aka shot silk) was period. It is a simple plain weave, using one color for the warp and one color for the weft. Now, I don't have any documentation at my fingertips or even at arms length, but it seems to me, in my memory bank, that this is so.

If you consider taffeta to be a warp-faced rep weave (plain/tabby weave with the lengthwise threads much closer together than the crosswise threads), then yes, it was available in the 14th century. If, however, you're thinking about the plastic stuff labled "taffeta" in the fabric store, that may be another story. It is both thinner and stiffer than the historical equivalent would have been. A better approximation of historical taffeta *might* be bengaline or drapery moire. Anyone else have thoughts on the matter?

Margo's site was informative. I was just curious about the business side of costuming.

You'll just have to > stand sideways...") > If *I* were to make costumes for others (not something I've charged for, but I have tossed around the idea), this is how I would do it: Have a standard hourly rate: say $25/hour (for illustration only) Calculate how long you reasonably expect the piece to take you, rounding up rather than down. Quote the price based on hourly*rate. (ie if a Tunic takes 3 hours, quote $75 as your labour price). If you are realizing that the project is taking more of your time than expected (due to requests of the customer, if you screw up and make a mistake and have to spend hours picking it apart, you can't charge for that), it is your responsibility to inform the customer as soon as possible. Provide alternatives: ie "I can do that funky trim that you wanted for an additional $25, or you can take it without the trim for the original price"). I would imagine after a couple times through, you can price the project fairly accurately without any later revisions. I would price material separately from labor -- silk costs more than cotton but takes the same amount of labor. For the few projects I have done with aquaintances, I will either charge for fabric (at a slight markup from the fabric store), or have them supply their own fabric (subject to my approval -- because I want to ensure that the fabric choice is appropriate to the garment).

There is a site on line with the sumptuary laws listed in detail. I have a print out here, put away. Maybe the site has some details on punishments also, that I didn't see. Have you already seen the list? I'll pull it out to get the address for the site if you need it. Let me know. The othere idea I have for you, is putting the question to the TudorTalk mail list. I am on the list and can forward your question or point you toward the list instead. Again, let me know what you want to do, since it is unknown to me what you have already found or searched through.

Another thing you have to add in when figuring out the price is what I call the "Boredom Factor". The first time I make a costume I have a great time and enjoy the work. Twenty of the same thing, and it takes a little more to get my fingers moving. Making ready to wear, is one thing. I can turn out a Ren faire shirt without even being fully wake. But a corset or a doublet takes a good number of brain cells, because each one is pretty much the same, but has different fitting problems. But come a month before North Faire I don't want to make one more doublet, even if its for me. When Star Trek II came out I made the tailored uniform for a friend. It's an tricky outfit, and looks terrible if you don't get the tailoring just right. But I was the first one and I figured it would be good practice before I started on mine. I charged her $125 plus cost of fabric. It looked great and she loved it. And so did everyone else. Luckily I had told her that she was getting a friend price, so when I got about 15 orders for the same thing they didn't think they were getting it for $125. Of the people that called I ended up making 11 costumes, and never did make one for myself. I ended up adding about $50 dollars to the price every couple of costumes. Except for the one that cost the gentlemen $1500, (never order a week before the wedding.) The long and the short of this is charge what it takes for you to get the job done and better to figure on the high end rather that on the low. -Poster: "Heather" I was just curious about the business side of costuming. I work in the computer industry where usually an estimate is given up front but customers are actually charged hourly. Then, again, on my current project, we were given a budget and once the money runs out, we're done. (I can see it now. "Here's you're costume. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't have the budget to finish that last pant leg, but here's the leg I did finish. You'll just have to stand sideways...") _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Dec 10 14:05:55 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA17698 for ; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 14:05:54 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA08731; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 13:25:25 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id NAA10454 for h-costume-nopost; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 13:25:15 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail.rdc1.tn.home.com (imail@ha1.rdc1.tn.home.com [24.2.7.66]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA10441 for ; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 13:25:13 -0700 (MST) Received: from home.com ([24.1.35.138]) by mail.rdc1.tn.home.com (InterMail v4.01.01.00 201-229-111) with ESMTP id <19991210202511.EUDC17996.mail.rdc1.tn.home.com@home.com> for ; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 12:25:11 -0800 Message-ID: <385161B7.5DE5F955@home.com> Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 14:25:27 -0600 From: Kat & Kent X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en]C-AtHome0405 (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: costume business References: <003c01bf434f$076fad60$0101a8c0@f1> 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: RO -Poster: Kat & Kent Personally, and I don't do a tremendous amount for others than my kith & kin, I ask the customer to meet me at the fabric store... they pay for all materials.

I will only barter my costume services for someone else svcs. Not money. I figure an hour for something I'm good at vs. an hour for something you're good at is fair. I've had a few say they'd rather pay. I'm not willing to go pro & take a pay cut. Instead, I jokingly offer that they can pay my regular silicon valley S/W engineer hourly rate. Somehow, they just laugh. Historically & today, people just aren't willing to pay seamstresses & tailors. Maybe if I called myself a Fabric Engineer? The biggest concern is going to be having enough equipment & space for all available. I also try to find a 2:1 ratio of novice to experienced costumers. Potluck food makes it a party.

The book is from there and the info on it is... "Criminal Justice Through the Ages", published by Mittelalterliches Kriminalmuseum. I can't seem to find an isb number for it. I have the english edition. This book primarly focuses on Germany laws and their punishments so what I quote may not be true for all of Europe. What I am going to do is give the page numbers then the context then the actual quote. 22 through 24 - on Imperial police codes of 16th Century - "The rules of law and order and the police tried to control blasphemy, excessive drinking, exaggerated dressiness, and to curb luxury. For example, they prohibited the wearing of velvet, damak, satin, and silk, coats by merchants and traders in the town, and laid restraints on superflous bridle equipment for horses and worldly clothing for the clergy." 85 - on Imperial law on jews - "It was not until the imperial public peace law of 1103 that the public peace was also extended to the Jews; this was coupled, however, with the loss of the right to bear arms and complusion to wear specific clothing (conical hat)." 149 through 150 - Section on wearing degrading Garments - "The symbolic significance of clothing is as old as clothing itself. It demonstrates the rank and status of the wearer. So what was more obvious than to make persons who placed themselve beyond the pale of the community by thier actions, their peculiar origin or thier vocation recognizable to all special clothing. The appearace, and in the broadest sense the dress, of a person includes the hair. The hair-style. open or tied, long or short, permitted conclusions to be drawn with regard to a person's legal status. Only the freeman wore long hair, while the bondsman's was cut short. Consequently, cutting off the hair of the head was a degrading punishment from time immemorial. Men and women who had committed sexual offences had their hair cut off, a degrading punishment still inflicted in our times by moblaw. Shortening of a woman's dress was a customary degrading punishment. The mothers of illegimate children and female adulterers had a broad strip cut off the bottom of thier dress in public. Clothing served primarily as a protection from inclement weather and the shortening of the dress meant exposure, deprival of protection and disgrace. Like the reduction or shortening of clothing, compulsion to wear certain garments was likewise a degrading punishment or at least the mark of those considered dishonest. Insolvent debtors were therefor required to wear a yellow hat and imcompetent farmers a white hat (Schaumburg Lippe, 18th Century). The sharp distinction between Christians and Jews demanded the Catholic chruch resulted in Jews having to wear a pointed hat and a yellow patch on their breast as identification. To enable better supervision of prostitution, which though tolerated was viewed with suspicion by the authoriteis, prostitutes were ordered to wear conspicuous clothig characteristic of thier calling. Excutioners, too, were required to wear different clothing than the normal citizen. The clothing regualtions issued in the 14th and 15th century, above all in the cities, made breaches of them practically inevitable. Contraventions of the clothing regulations were punished mainly by fines, but in some cities the tipstaffs had orders to remove on the open street too opulent clothing not in keeping with a person's rank." 275 - on women of ill repute - "The courteasans, wenches or ladies of easy virtue were compelled to wear conspicuous clothing characteristic of their calling. In Rothenburg, a red-and-white kerchief, in Augusburg merely a strip of green material two fingers wide on their veil, and in Leipzip short yellow mantles on which blue cords were sewn." 290 through 296 - I consider this too long to retype out so will have to read it and summerize for you. I will get back to this in a bit (maybe Sunday) Carol Ross _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Dec 10 15:37:26 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA17776 for ; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 15:37:25 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA21097; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 14:56:44 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA05134 for h-costume-nopost; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 14:56:29 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo18.mx.aol.com (imo18.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.8]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA05125 for ; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 14:56:27 -0700 (MST) From: Panmela@aol.com Received: from Panmela@aol.com by imo18.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.8bddbcc8 (4585) for ; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 16:55:52 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.8bddbcc8.2582d0e8@aol.com> Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 16:55:52 EST Subject: Re: H-COST: Sumptuary Law violations-point to resource?

The time period is 1600, the area is England. The person is a very, very wealthy visiting merchant from Germany. How would the sumptuary laws been applied? I find it very interesting. Not that everything human beings do makes sense, but it was my understanding that some nobles, even kings had to borrow money from banks run by the wealthy merchant class. So, how did they get off restricting what those people wore? Anyone know when sumptuary laws 'went out of fashion'? Does anyone recall coming across examples where the laws were ignored? I wish I could remember the source, but I remember reading about one non-noble woman who was asked or told that she couldn't wear her best dress to a wedding of a princess because her clothes were more sumptuous than the nobles. So, the point being that she may have complied on this occasion but not usually. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Dec 10 17:08:39 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA17907 for ; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 17:08:35 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA02631; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 16:28:03 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA00221 for h-costume-nopost; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 16:27:45 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail.airmail.net (mail.airmail.net [206.66.12.40]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id QAA00210 for ; Fri, 10 Dec 1999 16:27:43 -0700 (MST) Received: from mamabear from [207.13.31.71] by mail.airmail.net (/\##/\ Smail3.1.30.16 #30.421) with smtp for sender: id ; Fri, 10 Dec 99 17:27:43 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <00d001bf4366$0e1d7540$0200a8c0@mamabear.stormypetrel.com> From: "Genevieve de Courtanvaux" To: Subject: Re: H-COST: Sumptuary Law violations-more specific Q Date: Fri, 10 Dec 1999 17:26:57 -0600 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: RO -Poster: "Genevieve de Courtanvaux" I went and looked through all of my books on criminal justice and torture and all I could find was what I posted in my last post (the really long one).

If the seamstress is on the list, I apologize for my catty remarks and chalk it up to stir-craziness on my part (am just dying to get out of the house after my stitches heal sufficiently).

Is Ancient Bruce really an ancient tartan? If so, what is it based on, since there are no 'clan tartans' going back much further than the beginning of the Victorian era? Yes, you can get bright colors using natural dyes. Not neon-bright, but pretty bright. And I guess what I call 'neon' are the shades that you see on surfer or skateboarder attire, not just a bright red or yellow. I've gotten fairly bright oranges and yellows using natural dyes. I'm not disputing that you can; the question is, how were those dyes used? I've seen tartans that were both too bright, and those that were (IMNSHO) too dark. Bright reds and bright yellows were certainly obtainable in our period. I'm disputing the argument that Bruce is in any way ancient. In fact, my copy of 'Tartans: Their Art and History' says that Bruce is from Vestarium Scoticum, a famous early Victorian forgery which was purported to be of much older origin but which was in fact published in 1842. Their picture of 'Bruce' does indeed show a tartan that is predominantly orange/red and yellow, and the colors certainly could have been acheived using natural dyes. BUT -- does that mean that a patten invented by Victorians is in any way like the patterns woven in earlier centuries? For that, you have to look at the portraits done in those earlier centuries, and not assume that a pattern invented later is valid. (In fact, it's not very different from one worn in a portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie by John Pettie, so an argument could be made for its use. But not as the 'Bruce tartan', since there wouldn't have been any such thing.) For that matter, the colors in Buchanan are probably acheivable using natural dyes, and that's a very bright tartan. But the sett (pattern) simply isn't accurate for my period (mid 1700s), as far as I can tell. Fine for Victorian and later, of course! Just don't use it for earlier periods -- it's like taking a modern chinese brocade and using it for a Tudor gown. You might sometimes find something that would work, but it would take a lot of careful research and luck!

One of the reason for the laws is to keep people from getting above themselves, sure, but also to keep them from spending all their money on clothes. The Queen doesn't care how foreigners beggar themselves on fine dress. It's always wise not to outdress the Queen, sure, but in ordinary commerce, it shouldn't be a problem. A Swedish princess who tries will be sorry, I'm sure, but not fined or put in the stocks or whatever. However... If the merchant takes up permanent residence in London, it might also be wise to go along with the prevailing restraint, to fit in and avoid inciting envy. Foreigners in England had anough to worry about! So it depends on the circumstances in which the character finds himself. My personal opinon about sumptuary in Tudor/Elizabethan England is that it's enforced by the neighbors. The Watch does not kick down your door on their own to see if you have things above your station. If you appear at a dance in the wrong sort of fur, you don't immediately get arrested. No, someone complains to the town Council, or one Alderman's wife complains to her husband about another Alderman's wife, and the both Aldermen sigh "Women!" and decide what's to be done about it. If Alderman B can't get his wife to take the fur trim off her new hat, or gets huffy about it himself, the Council may have to determine a fine. I haven't run into a lot of evidence of people being run in to court on a charge of illegal use of gilt.

Everyone has a tendency to point to earlier generations and say things like "oh but people *conformed* back in 'x'". I don't believe it. Over and over I hear folx saying that this or that just *wasn't* done in thus & so a period. But without a time machine how do we know? Really? If it's not specifically mentioned in writing by someone who we can trust (and can we really 'trust' anyone to be 100% accurate?) how do we know that there weren't people doing/wearing 'x'? Non-conformists did not spring out of the ether in this generation... or the last one... or the one before that. So here's my solution... if you feel that it is being more accurate by following *only* what is specifically written down in a document then go for it. If you feel it's accurate to go by what's written down & paintings etc... go for it. If you feel it's accurate to use materials and methods available for the period... go for it. Personally, I have enough stress in my life without worrying about it... and I've read enough history to not worry about it.

You have to have perfect legs to wear them and look good, but they are just plain not business-like or professional for work wear (and yes - I know people who do wear them for work). I catch the bus with a lady who wears them soo short that when she sits down, she is not actually sitting on her skirt! The other big hate is tent dresses for larger sizes. I am a big lady and I can't stand that people assume that because one is not a model size, that one must wear a tent. I dress very well - and not in tents.

I have both the complete Racinet (intro by Dr. Aileen Ribero) and the abridged Dover version. Dr. Ribero's comments on Racinet's somewhat questionable scholarship, the "creative" choice of colors in the original publication and her notes on *his* source material are interesting, informative reading for the novice/intermediate costume historian. It's a top notch source for Victorian Fancy Dress. A few years ago, I saw 2 of the original 1880 set of 6 volumes. Hand colored plates. Brilliant condition. US$600 the pair. I walked away from it.

As I have been doing it for so long I now have a good idea of what length of time each job is going to take. i.e trousers are days work so they are a days pay etc I charge fabric separately, something I learned was a wise move early on. But again I usually know how much fabric is needed and the approx cost pm so can give an accurate quote. For instance for a Napoleonic officers coat I need 21/2m redcloth at 30pm + 1m facing cloth @£45pm +1/2m white wool for turnbacks @£30pm + 15m lace + buttons. This doesn't vary . If it is for something like wedding dress when trims etc are decided during making the customer knows that the order price may differ slightly at the end but it is their responsibility to say no if they don't want expensive trims etc I take a 50% deposit Then another 25% halfway through then the balance before delivery. I also charge for postage if they can't pick up. Particularly as I have alot of customers overseas. I also charge if I have to go somewhere else for the fittings. Do also bear in mind that making time also means running around finding fabrics so include that. Your time is precious and your customers should respect that. Most don't Sewing is an unrecognised skill and you won't make a fortune by going pro. Even institutions like museums are now going for whatever is cheap rather than what is accurate for their display cases Good Luck Dawn > _________________________________________________________________ > To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com > with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME -- Ïࡱá _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sat Dec 11 08:43:57 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA24053 for ; Sat, 11 Dec 1999 08:43:52 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA00773; Sat, 11 Dec 1999 08:02:20 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id IAA25582 for h-costume-nopost; Sat, 11 Dec 1999 08:00:40 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from m8.boston.juno.com (m8.boston.juno.com [205.231.101.196]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA25571 for ; Sat, 11 Dec 1999 08:00:38 -0700 (MST) Received: (from cley@juno.com) by m8.boston.juno.com (queuemail) id ETKL8JY2; Sat, 11 Dec 1999 10:00:32 EST To: h-costume@indra.com Cc: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Re: Clothing Mistakes Message-ID: <19991211.063450.5135.0.cley@juno.com> References: X-Mailer: Juno 1.49 X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 0-1,4-7,11-12,14-18 From: cynthia j ley Date: Sat, 11 Dec 1999 10:00:32 EST Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: cynthia j ley Big clothing hate: Spandex. On women especially. It enhances the thin of thin people, and if you aren't thin it makes you look like you weight 400 pounds even though you may only weigh 120 dripping wet! Guys in good shape look pretty buff in it though. ;) Other dislikes: spike shoes, especially spike slippers with feathers or other froo-froo over the arch. Those ridiculous round cloth hats that were all the rage last year--I never saw anyone of any age who didn't look like they weren't wearing a pile of mashed potatoes on their head. Big likes: tailored looks, clothes designed to fit the body rather than the other way around, clean lines, nice flow, very classic and classy.

The Swedish Princess who visited Elizabeth's court did cause a lot of trouble, but I don't know if any of it was of a sumptuary nature. She ran up terrible bills, stayed far too long, and resorted to near blackmail to get out of the country with her unpaid for purchases. And her husband was worse. She did get a bit of a slap down from Elizabeth: in many records she is referred to as the Lady Cecelia, rather than Princess Cecilia. I used to portray her at Ren Faire occasionally, and she was a hoot.

He makes a pretty good wage in his 'real' job, and when people ask him how much it would cost them to have him make something in his woodworking shop, he just laughs and tells them they can't afford his hourly rate. He does make stuff for friends, however (small stuff) -- IF he ever gets around to it. Personally, I only sew for others for barter or gifts. I've tried sewing for money, and I just can't do it. I'm too much of a perfectionist to spend as little time on a project as would make it economically feasible.

(I encourage them to purchase their own fabrics/trims etc). If I provide it, then I have to charge sales tax since it is considered a retail sale if I provide the source materials. If they buy the stuff elsewhere and I simply create the clothing, then it is considered a service. Anyway, during the consult, I price everything, down to individual buttons if need be, discuss everything in detail and have them sign a contract that clearly states, any changes will change the agreed upon price. I request 50% down, and payments each fitting, with the last appointment paid in full. Make absolutely NO compromise on this one. The only times I have eaten the cost of something is when I have allowed someone to not pay up front. They almost always have an excuse why they can not pay it on the agreed upon date if you aren't diligent in keeping to the agreed contract. It is not easy sometimes, especially if you are a sucker for a sad story, I know this from experience.... If they start out at the beginning sort of whining about the price of things, simply declare that perhaps they might like to think about it for a while and show them the door. Do not try to convince someone that it is worth it, and don't listen to them complain. If you have to, then you will probably not have a good working relationship with this person in the long run. Some items are a set price, and some I still have to estimate. I try to get $15.00 per hour (above any of my costs). And I usually come out close, although I still have a tendency to underestimate the elaborate pieces.

The "style" of boys and girls who wear their pants longer than their shoes, so they are stepping on the back of their pants legs, which eventually shred, split and get trashy. This is a major "hit" here in Nothern VA among the mall crowd. 2. Suffocatingly tight polyester girls' shirts and sweaters that bare the midrif--this "look" is particularly gross when the midrif is bulging out over the pants. Makes it look like the girls are squashed sausage. 3. The new "peekaboo" underwear rage -- let your pants hang on your hips so we can all ogle your boxers (girls do this, too). And what is it with the colors now? Everything in our "teens" or "juniors" sections in the mall is fairly monochrome. Its either all khakis and browns or it is all blacks and greys. Borrrr-ing. The young "in" crowd looks like lumps of day-old mashed potatoes or something the rag bin threw up. Give me women in tailored dresses a la' Grace Kelley or men in linen or tweed suits a la' Cary Grant any day.

The dress happens to be an Elizabethan era Italian dress, but it doesn't have to be your focus. Just look at the picture and give me your opinion. The picture is #466 (Laudonia de Medici by A. Bronzino)on page 230. It appears that their is some sort of trim at the sleeves and down the skirt. Normally I would have thought it was piping, but to me it looks like the line is broken at regular intervals. Does this look like beading to anyone else? Or what does it look like to you? Andrea Greetings, I always thought that the trim was a slashed piping for lack of a better description. Kind of like what you see along the neckline of Elizabeth's "phoniex portrait." A woman I know reproduced the the Phoenix gown and what she did was used lots of little tabs of ribbon. It was labour intensive but worked well. Does anyone know of a larger colour copy of the portrait in Boucher?

She attempted through various proclamations during her reign to enforce the sumptuary laws as laid out under the reign of her father and her sister Mary, who preceded her as Queen of England. While I am still looking for a specific reference, it is my memory that in England the penalty for breaking sumptuary laws were stiff fines paid to the crown. To what extent these laws would be applied to someone visiting or not, is another question. My references suggest that the law was very difficult to enforce, even on the English themselves. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Dec 12 20:58:19 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA31987 for ; Sun, 12 Dec 1999 20:58:19 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA02749; Sun, 12 Dec 1999 20:17:41 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA12450 for h-costume-nopost; Sun, 12 Dec 1999 20:17:11 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo-d10.mx (imo-d10.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.42]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA12437 for ; Sun, 12 Dec 1999 20:17:08 -0700 (MST) From: Panmela@aol.com Received: from Panmela@aol.com by imo-d10.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.f37b573d (4556) for ; Sun, 12 Dec 1999 22:16:25 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.f37b573d.2585bf08@aol.com> Date: Sun, 12 Dec 1999 22:16:24 EST Subject: Re: H-COST: Re: Clothing Mistakes To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 3.0 for Windows 95 sub 49 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Panmela@aol.com In a message dated 99-12-10 20:04:04 EST, you write: > I catch the bus with a lady who wears them soo short that when she sits > down, she is not actually sitting on her skirt! > And to top it off, she probably screams "harassment" if anyone happens to leer at her legs.

Well, for starters - with that huge bustle hanging behind you (think 1880's) no one can tell exactly how BIG *your* butt really is. Like Albert says, no one really buys that that huge extension is really flesh any more than paniers or hoopskirts are. Can you imagine someone really being shaped like a hoop?

WOW! I loved Jodie Foster's outfits as well. The tailoring was superb, and it looked like she had on all the correct undergarments (you could tell she used two different corsets, and you could see her chemise and corset cover through some of the gowns). Her ballgown was a major drool, though it might have been a bit fanciful as far as fabric went--I'd have to see it again. Her day dresses and hats looked like they were lifted straight out of Godey's. The movie was very beautifully done, though the story was a little on the "mushy" side if you go in expecting a Yul Brenner type of king (bold, strident, stubborn, but fun). Still, the chemistry between Foster and Yun-Fat was tangible and bittersweet--if a little weird. If for no other reason, go to see the robe the king wears when he and his family are fleeing on the boat -- it's made of netting with fabulous gold braided trim in a dazzling design. Knocked my socks off. I'd imagine this film will be up for some Oscars in the design category (sets are splendid, too).

Still, the chemistry between Foster and Yun-Fat was tangible and bittersweet--if a little weird. If for no other reason, go to see the robe the king wears when he and his family are fleeing on the boat -- it's made of netting with fabulous gold braided trim in a dazzling design.

She attempted through various proclamations during her reign to enforce the sumptuary laws as laid out under the reign of her father and her sister Mary, who preceded her as Queen of England. While I am still looking for a specific reference, it is my memory that in England the penalty for breaking sumptuary laws were stiff fines paid to the crown. To what extent these laws would be applied to someone visiting or not, is another question. My references suggest that the law was very difficult to enforce, even on the English themselves. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Dec 13 02:32:10 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA22251 for ; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 02:32:09 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id BAA25434; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 01:49:40 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id BAA23701 for h-costume-nopost; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 01:49:30 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail12.svr.pol.co.uk (mail12.svr.pol.co.uk [195.92.193.215]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id BAA23689 for ; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 01:49:28 -0700 (MST) Received: from modem-159.ocellaris-clown.dialup.pol.co.uk ([62.137.48.159] helo=default) by mail12.svr.pol.co.uk with smtp (Exim 3.11 #1) id 11xRAc-0004Z3-00 for h-costume-digest@indra.com; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 08:49:26 +0000 Message-ID: <00a701bf4548$30b085a0$9f30893e@default> From: "Joy Shillaker" To: Subject: H-COST: sumptuary laws.

At least the people we encountered in the twon itself recognized the period enough to call out things like "All for one and one for all".

I'm still in the planning stage for this dress. BTW, I've been doing an extensive search all week to find a color photo. I've found nothing on the WWW and the only books of his work are out of print. The only picture by him that I've found in various Florentine art books is the one of Leanora of Toledo, Most of his work is displayed in the Uffizi, but this one is in a tiny museum. My sister, who did a semester in Florence, had never heard of it. Some time this week I will try to hit the local University library.

I'm >still in the planning stage for this dress. > The Phoenix portrait shows the tabs around the neckline as aproximately 1" wide, with a narrow gold edging on each edge. they appear to be of the same fabric as the dress. You could use ribbon, but self fabric tubes with applied trim would also work and would probably be more appropriate. I don't find tabs to be extremely time consuming, especially within the overall context of the project. I usually make up the tab material in long strips and cut it to size after. For slashed piping, I use bias strips and apply it like ordinary piping, but without the cording. Sometimes I use bias folds stitched on top of the fabric, rather than inserted into a seam. This is good when using it as applied trim, such as multiple rows around a sleeve cuff or on an overskirt. I slash it with scissors after it's sewn on. Taffeta, silk, tightly woven cotten, and other firm fabrics work well.

I started to wonder if the illustrators of that time (and any others) exaggerated proportions of certain details or body areas, i. e. the illustrators of today elongating the legs to get a more slender, taller look. Could those sleeves have been exaggerated in the same way? And what would that mean for the accuracy of those sources?

Could those sleeves have been exaggerated in the same way? > And what would that mean for the accuracy of those sources? >From my research, I know that the piccys were exaggerated. The sleeves were big - but not that big! A great book for research on that type of sleeve is "Costume in Detail - Womens Dress 1730-1930" by Nancy Bradfield. She was the costume curator at one of the English costume galleries (Chasleton House - I think - can't remember) and had access to a number of actual garments. In the book, it is all technical drawings (including some measurements) of these garments. The main idea behind those sleeves was to make the waist look smaller - and if you look at a lot of illustrations of that period (and of Regency immediately before) you will see that the proportions are obviously exaggerated (for the Regency stuff - look at the men especially). One of my fave drawings of the time shows a woman with "gigot" sleeves so big that the total width would have been about the same as her height - and with a waist so small that she looked like she would snap in two! Much the same effect as a Barbie Doll! Unfortunately, fashion illustrators tended to exaggerate (and still do) the human form - as their main idea was to show the clothing. A good book with lots and lots of fashion illustrations is "The File Art of Fashion- An Illustrated History" by Julian Robinson (Bay Books - ISBN 1 86256 3020). All the illustrations in it were taken out of actual fashion books, and posters of the time - and it goes right up to the 70's (goes to show that the age of the colour photo didn't stop illustrators after all) They are good as sources - but you would have to translate things into "real life" - just as one has to do with a number of costume books.

In Nancy Bradfield's book "Costume in Detail" , she has a photo of the effify of QEI from the '30's whilst it was being cleaned. She makes note that the side hoops are from 1760, which was the last time that the effigy was cleaned and re-dressed. Hope that this helps.

This gown is going to be very special, so I want it to be right. The button holes were regular buttonholes sewn using the button hole stitch. At this time, they didn't have the rounded edge at each end. Just a row of buttonhold stitch on each side of the cut. And FWIW, your gown is 14th century. :) I love blue velvet, sounds gorgeous. Is it cotton or acetate? That determines whether or not you cut the holes before or after you stitch them simply because the acetate ravels easily.

While the hoops are from the 18th Century, the corset is from the early 17th C (contemporary with Elizabeth's death.) There is an article in a journal at the Westminster Abbey Library which discusses this. As Drea mentioned, Janet Arnold had something to do with it. However, I no longer have a copy of it that I can find and was unable to find a replacement copy the time to go to the WA Library when I was there. We didn't have time the day we went and it was closed when we went to do photography (as that is only allowed for a short period on Wednesday evenings.) If one of our lucky Londoners could go find the article, I'm sure a number of us would be appreciative. (If I had the information on which journal it was in, with the date and page number, I could probably request a copy for study, as could Drea.) Kat Kat(June Russell) kat@grendal.rain.com Heu!

My fashion peeve - TATOOS and body piercing. They look bad on men or women - particularly as you get older. I occasionally want to ask people who have those tatoo necklaces done what they think it will look like when they're 70 . At least piercing will grow back if you let it. >>this is a peeve of mine if folks are doing it for FASHION purposes. as a multiple piercee i can tell you that even though they can grow back together they do leave scars so its best NOT to plan on it being a temporary "fashion" thing. as for when im 70 - they are for me and me alone. i'll only take them out if they cause pain or if i look HIDEOUS. or maybe i'll show them off just to scare everyone ;) re: tattoos - i think the look is more popular than the reality. this explains the plastic "tattoo" chokers and the popularity of mehindi (henna body painting). allison Carolyn _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Dec 13 21:01:56 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA07522 for ; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 21:01:55 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA04400; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 20:21:02 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA26108 for h-costume-nopost; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 20:20:57 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo19.mx.aol.com (imo19.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.9]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA26097 for ; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 20:20:53 -0700 (MST) From: Gaelscot@aol.com Received: from Gaelscot@aol.com by imo19.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.817fdd38 (3991) for ; Mon, 13 Dec 1999 22:20:15 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.817fdd38.2587116f@aol.com> Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 22:20:15 EST Subject: H-COST: Re: The King and I To: h-costume-digest@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0.i for Mac sub 189 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Gaelscot@aol.com RE: The King and I . . . or whatever they're calling it.

There's not much I can recommend in the movie category (although my personal favorite is Zefferelli's "Taming of the Shrew", but the background costumes are better than the star's). "Dangerous Beauty" has some good costumes on the background players as well but ignore what the prostitutes are wearing. Books - the best ones I can think of currently in print are the 2 volumes on Italian Ren frescoes. They're big and pricy but gorgeously illustrated. For cheaper books, try finding the Riverside series on various artists - I can recommend the one on Carpaccio. There's also a good book out called "Renaissance Portraits" by Lorne Campbell that has some nice stuff (I've made the red dress on the jacket cover that was painted by Raphael).

I had to choose the position of my first tattoo very carefully so I could do Victorian eveningwear without it showing. Likewise, any piercing I have has to pass costume approval anywhere I do living history - by not showing when I am historically dressed. Some tattoos/piercings makes one look, as the Victorians would say, like 'mutton dressed as lamb'. Some are things only a kid would do. Others are less inappropriate for us older folks. For example, my teenager is contemplating getting her lip pierced, trendy for that age group, but her friends all think my pierced eyebrow is 'cool'. snip >> > Now THESE were mistakes!

There are a few exceptions, of course, and some times were more exaggerated than others. But (to generalize) all artists are depicting "ideal" people (or less-than-"ideal" people) and that's what they draw. Thus you'll often find some parts of illustrations to be quite accurate, and others not. Think of those long, thin, gothic hands and feet, for instance; or 15th-century proportions; or heads in Renaissance portraits (which are frequently missing a lot of brain matter); or 1840s fashion plates that show women with tiny pointy feet and shoulders that slope so much that they would have no shoulder blades if they were real. All show the aesthetic of the time -- tall, thin people; small waists and large shoulders; emphasis on the face and not on the hair; small feet and sloping shoulders. They give you the "feel" of the style. But none show what people ACTUALLY looked like -- any more than illustrations in pattern catalogues today show what the garments will really look like on people with normal proportions!

Seems that 80% of her adventures were questionable. She wrote a book called The English Governess in Siam (?) or something like that. It was another woman who wrote the story Anna and the King and that is the story we know. Ann Leonowens was a remarkable woman and her books about life in the Siamese Court are some of the only records of life there. Even though the biographers on the program disputed the truthfulness of her stories, they praised her for pluck and determination for making herself a place in a difficult world.

Maybe they'll show it again... on a historical note... one of my husbands relatives of that period was the woman who was fired just before Anna was hired... seems she kept trying to convert the King's children to Christianity.... rather forcefully.

The drawers (which are not like any "bloomers" I've seen) are tubes of fabric with a waistband. Even in the postcard they give you can see that there is no way that the waistband (which has a button which ought to attach to something and looks like it should attach to the other side of the waistband) not only doesn't meet in front but ends on each hip making a deep V in the front. They look like something someone put on it to "make the woman at least somewhat decent" in a much later time.) There is also a little bit of linen peeking out from under the top of the corset (but interestingly enough, not at the bottom. Just plaster between the bottom of the corset and those silly drawers.)

Now, I have a great respect for women who had to put such a vast amount of clothing and contraptions. I never liked corsets... I had to build eight corset stands for exhibit.

They >look like something someone put on it to "make the woman at least >somewhat decent" in a much later time.) the "crotchless" drawers of the time make sense if you considerthat their purpose may have been, not to conceal the crotch area, but to protect the inner thighs from chafing. As for the waistband not meeting, they may have been an older pair that had not been worn in some time. We know that Elizabeth's measurements increased later in life. Since comfort isn't an issue when dressing an effigy, the fact that the drawers didn't fit properly probably wasn't much of a problem.

I used to think that the late Elizabethan drum farthingale was the most hideous thing ever; Now, well, I wouldn't say I think that it's pretty, but is has a certain style, and the challenge of making it look good appeals to me.

I used to think the Empire fashions were something I'd look like an over-stuffed sausage in, and that they were 'icky'. However, now that I've made a couple . . . ;) While the actual 'look' of the 1830s sleeve is certainly much different than the fashion drawing (having done a very short stint at such, I do know the difference!) I still don't like 'em.

This is my favorite commentary on cheap shoes (or cheap anything, for that matter): [...from] Terry Pratchett, a sf/fantasy writer, who writes marevelously. Most of his stuff is funnier than the following, but I'm illustrating a point. Captain Vimes is in the City Watch. The reason the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in the city on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness. -- It wasn't until the astonishing success of Dicken's _A Christmas Carol_ that the holiday had any significant place in the English-speaking world. Easter was considered much more significant. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 14 13:06:00 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA14404 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 13:05:57 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA28664; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:24:13 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA14417 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:24:05 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from post1.inre.asu.edu (post1.inre.asu.edu [129.219.13.100]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA14404 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:24:02 -0700 (MST) From: KATHLEEN.MAHER@asu.edu Received: from general3.asu.edu (general3.asu.edu [129.219.10.157]) by asu.edu (PMDF V5.2-31 #31135) with ESMTP id <0FMQ00D97WK0HO@asu.edu> for h-costume@indra.com; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:24:01 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by general3.asu.edu (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id MAA18279 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:23:54 -0700 (MST) Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 12:23:53 -0700 (MST) Subject: Re: H-COST: Re: Clothing Mistakes In-reply-to: <385697B6.ECE0E6DE@thibault.org> X-Sender: innana@general3.asu.edu To: h-costume@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: RO -Poster: KATHLEEN.MAHER@asu.edu On Tue, 14 Dec 1999, Cynthia Virtue wrote: > > [...from] Terry Pratchett, a sf/fantasy writer, who writes > marevelously.

"The Monks of Cool live in a small and exclusive Monestary high in the Ramtop Mountains. Before taking their final vows, novices are taken by a senior monk to a room full of all sorts of clothing. The senior monk says to them "Yo, my son which outfit here is the most stylish?", to which the correct reply is "Hey, what ever I select" -Katie _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 14 14:07:11 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA14469 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 14:07:10 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA07125; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 13:25:15 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id NAA00205 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 13:24:24 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from crcst348.netaddress.usa.net (crcst348.netaddress.usa.net [204.68.23.93]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id NAA00199 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 13:24:22 -0700 (MST) Received: (qmail 26703 invoked from network); 14 Dec 1999 20:20:41 -0000 Received: from nwcst291.netaddress.usa.net (204.68.23.36) by outbound.netaddress.usa.net with SMTP; 14 Dec 1999 20:20:41 -0000 Received: (qmail 21996 invoked by uid 60001); 14 Dec 1999 20:24:29 -0000 Message-ID: <19991214202429.21995.qmail@nwcst291.netaddress.usa.net> Received: from 204.68.23.36 by nwcst291 for [209.122.3.5] via web-mailer(M3.4.0.33) on Tue Dec 14 20:24:29 GMT 1999 Date: 14 Dec 99 13:24:29 MST From: Orlaith To: Subject: H-COST: Supplies help X-Mailer: USANET web-mailer (M3.4.0.33) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by net.indra.com id NAA00201 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Orlaith I am currently working on my 12th night/yule festival/new year's eve dress.

They would be rude of course, and so would you if you did the same to them. Would you stare and turn up your nose at a person with a disability? Of course not. The fact that someone is different should not open them up to ridicule and rebuke, unless they are doing something that is harmful to YOU. That is my point.

Where do they come from? Why in Western culture should they have a negative connotation? I find this interesting. Surely most of the cultures of the world at some point in their history employed with acceptance tattoos as decoration. How did it become unacceptable at the Junior League or UDC? Association with "primitive" cultures? Association with sailors [who got them in "primitive" cultures]? How does it relate to something like long hair & beards on men?

I live in the midwest, Illinois. I don't not like someone if they chose to have these but I just wouldn't want one. I have kids and we are raising them to not want to have tatoos. If they did I wouldn't stop loving them. I also don't like very low cut outfits or real short dresses either. I don't like to see underclothes through an outfit either. In the US I wonder if tatoos also were considered bad or to shy away from because of the feelings some had of Indians and their warpaint? Maybe it made them think of that and then think voilent people? Just wondering.

It stems back to the '30s when tattoos became popular with sailors. Yes, just like Popeye. The tattoos back then were very clumsy, heavily outlined & in the old-style "mom"/"I love Suzi" cartoon effect and no, not very attractive by modern standards. Unfortunately, the needles were usually not sterilized and, yes sailors also had a tendency to pick up STDs as well as tattoos and had a reputation for being a generally rowdy, vulgar, offensive bunch. This negative image of tattoos and drunken, STD-laden sailors from the '30s remains in the American consciousness even now. Plus since the '30s other anti-social groups such as bikers and street gangs have also used tattoos to engage the "bad-ass" image associated with tattoos. Today, tattooing is literally a form of graphic art. You apprentice as a tattoo artist & it can be a lucrative, rewarding career for those with the talent and drive. The equipment is much more sophisticated now and the super fine, high tech needles can produce photo-realistic images right on the skin. People get tattoos for various reasons. Most people I know with tattoos thought out and planned what they wanted to get a long time in advance and hold dear the images they have permanently etched onto their flesh. There is a non-specific spirituality and comraderie among tattooed people. Tattoos can be painful and the new technology has made them much more expensive-but it's well worth it. Piercings are different a non-permanent form of body art that has become a side-offering at many tattoo shops because they both involve modifying the body and a fair amount of pain. Actually, the *latest* body modification, for the truly brave is this tribal style body scarification, involving cutting the skin and sometimes inserting foreign objects such as beads or rings *under* the skin and fakir-inspired pain rituals. I saw one girl being hung up like meat-dangling from hooks embedded into the skin on her back. From what I saw one night on one of the 20/20 type TV show, the danger aspect is what makes the scarification so appealing and the "rush" of absolute pain which stimulates an endorphin high. This is how I know I'm getting old-even this is rather disturbing to me. But compared to this, isn't tattooing pretty tame? That's my manifesto for tonight.

Happy Holidays, and Many Blessings Regina Romsey Murphy's Laws of Sewing (Anonymous) Passed to me by a friend who works for Janzen Sportswear as a pattern maker Fusible interfacings always fuse to the iron The serger only eats the customer's garment. If you need 6 buttons, you will find 5 in your button box. The seam you meant to rip out is invariably the other one. When you are in a hurry, the needle eye is always too small. The fabric you forgot to pre-shrink will always shrink the most. The pattern you wanted to make again will have one key piece missing. If you drop something our of your sewing basket, it will be your box of pins... with the cover off. Whenever the construction process is going well the bobbin thread runs out. The magnitude of the goof is in direct proportion to the cost of the fabric. Your lost needle will be found by your son, husband or brother-in-law... while walking around barefoot! Facings tend to be sewn to the wrong side (Opposite sides attract). Collar points don't match, and you've trimmed all the seams. The iron never scorches the garment until its final pressing. Pants seams always rip where they are the most noticeable. The steam iron only burps rusty water on light silk fabric. The sewing machine light usually burns out on Sunday. Pinking shears get dull just by looking at them. Gathering threads always break in the middle. The scissors cut easiest past the buttonhole. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 14 21:06:53 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA15326 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 21:06:53 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA01380; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 20:26:20 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA16565 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 20:26:02 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from lsbsdi1.lightspeed.net (root@lsbsdi1.lightspeed.net [209.165.6.246]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA16558 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 20:26:00 -0700 (MST) Received: from raiden.lightspeed.net (raiden.lightspeed.net [209.165.6.245]) by lsbsdi1.lightspeed.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA27603 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 19:25:59 -0800 (PST) Received: from gunsafes (209-165-58-65.lightspeed.net [209.165.58.65]) by raiden.lightspeed.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id SAA21946 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 18:32:05 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <01aa01bf46a7$1a57aee0$57d2fea9@gunsafes> From: "Michelle" To: References: <19991213205700.17969.qmail@hotmail.com> <38571F1B.B58@virgin.net> Subject: Re: H-COST: Re: 2 Inventories!

Bell Cannon" I know it's partly a cultural & modern bias on my part, but: 1) foot-binding and the attendant footwear associated therewith, 2) some African tribes' customs [different peoples these] of wearing those huge lip-plugs, and ear-plugs [the Aztecs/Incas/Mayas one also wore these, I think] or of adding necklaces/neck-torcs to elongate the womens' necks. I know it's my own personal bias, but these customs have looked just plain wrong to ME since I first saw depictions of each of them. I know that in their own times/cultures these fashions were and in some cases still are highly thought of. That's just 'jewelry'--I won't start on wearing apparel. {wry grin} -- Carol _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 14 21:19:01 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA15352 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 21:19:00 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA02663; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 20:37:05 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA18336 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 20:36:57 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mongoose.slip.net (mongoose.slip.net [207.171.193.14]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA18329 for ; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 20:36:56 -0700 (MST) Received: from [207.171.230.183] (helo=default) by mongoose.slip.net with smtp (Exim 2.12 #4) id 11y5FG-00033I-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Tue, 14 Dec 1999 19:36:55 -0800 X-Sender: cjcannon@pop.slip.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.0.2 Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 18:46:20 -0800 To: h-costume@indra.com From: "Carol J.

Carol here: On the topic of piercing, I will add one point. My daughter came home with her tongue pierced. I was less than thrilled, but the next day, when we visited our family MD, she asked my daughter when and where she had the procedure done. My daughter told her. After which, our physician informed my daughter that had the person doing the piercing 'missed' by less than a centimeter, my daughter could have ended up with her tongue paralyzed for life. There is a major nerve that runs through it, you see, and if the piercing hits that, it's all she wrote, baby.

Our "area" includes the Pacific, including Hawaii, and American Samoa (how many people out there knew that Samoa is as much an American holding as Puerto Rico? I didn't until I took this job. The people there are considered American citizens, and have American passports.) The U.S. Military is _the_ way off the islands for young people so many of them plan to go in the whole time they are growing up. Since Army regs forbid tattoos showing while you are in uniform, those who choose to keep up the traditional tattooing plan for it. I had one soldier who was reportedly tattooed over his entire body except what would show when he had on a Vee neck T shirt and knee length shorts. I once saw him without his shirt at the battalion picnic, and it was the most incredible artwork of swirls and dots you have ever seen! His were all done with native dyes and sharp bamboo "combs". When we were in New Zealand one of the books we saw in a friends house was a history of the Maori featuring some of the most amazing facial tattoos! I suspect Americans have always considered tattooing as "barbaric". Didn't some of the Eastern tribes do facial tattooing as well as "war paint"?

The is one of the major reasons why the Nazi's tattooed Jews in the concentration camps - to humiliate them. Personally have seen some very interesting tattoos in other cultures: Japanese, Tahitian, Berber, etc. - but I would not choose to do that to my own body. ~!~ R.L.Shep http://www.rlshep.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 Dec 15 02:17:31 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA25947 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 02:17:30 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id BAA22197; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 01:37:22 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id BAA29133 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 01:36:59 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mongoose.slip.net (mongoose.slip.net [207.171.193.14]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id BAA29120 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 01:36:58 -0700 (MST) Received: from [209.152.144.249] (helo=George) by mongoose.slip.net with smtp (Exim 2.12 #4) id 11y9vc-0002sm-00 for h-costume@indra.com; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 00:36:57 -0800 Message-Id: <4.1.19991214222717.03ad3bc0@pop.slip.net> Message-Id: <4.1.19991214222717.03ad3bc0@pop.slip.net> X-Sender: kayta@pop.slip.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 22:30:38 -0800 To: h-costume@indra.com From: Carolyn Kayta Barrows Subject: Re: H-COST: Re: Clothing Mistakes - several replies In-Reply-To: <0.d2a8da24.2587b89d@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: RO -Poster: Carolyn Kayta Barrows ><< but her > friends all think my pierced eyebrow is 'cool'. >> > >This position is coverable in period dress?

Certainly there were period reasons for not wearing the peascod belly doublets, but can anyone quote me one? Stubbes ought to have an opinion here, but I don't have a copy. My curiosity is about the level of fashion individualism in this period. I know we in the 1990's wear pretty much what we like, or we do in California anyway. But our reasons for not liking something aren't necessarily their reasons for not liking it or not wearing it. Are there, in fact, *always* such fashion individualists?

It's your choice. Avoiding foot binding was never a choice in this country if you were female and born before Birkenstocks became mass-market available. It's always been about too-narrow shoes with pointy toes. My feet are permanently deformed because that's the way women's shoes were built, and are still built. It wasn't my choice, especially since going barefoot was prohibited in those same schools to which I was compelled, by law, to attend. When I was in high school (middle 60's), wearing men's round-toed white tennis shoes for gym instead of the painfully shaped women's pointy-toed ones got me stared at and got noses turned up in my direction. Wearing comfortable European foot-shaped shoes like Birkenstocks is still not acceptable interview wear, nor are these perceived as acceptable when worn with a woman's business suit.

Now, I mentioned that i was making a pair of stockings based on a Medieval Egyptian one. Well, i finally figured out how to manipulate the scans i made of my socks, and they're on line: http://witch.drak.net/lilinah/EgyptKnit1.html It's just one page with a little history of knitting, and pictures of the original find and the ones i made based on it. I will be up-loading charts of the patterns very soon, maybe even tonight, but i will have to write a page of html to go with them :-) I'm entirely self-taught, and i'd never made socks before or done any stranded knitting, and they are only my third knitting project ever. This pair of socks are not authentic reproductions. Mine are knit from the top down, while the original is knit from the toe up. Mine are a wool-blend, while the original is cotton. I'm now making a second pair, NOT based on any existing socks, but rather so i can learn more authentic techniques, like knitting from the toe up, and trying a different kind of authentic heel. When i get a bit farther on the one i've started, i'll scan it too.

(snip) I believe that tattoos got a bad rap in Western culture because of their being forbidden in the Old Testament (partly). I've read that tattoos were not uncommon among members of certain medieval trade guilds, but can't lay my hands on that particular piece of info right now. They fell into disfavor at some point (?), but had a resurgence when sailors started coming into contact with cultures in the South Seas who used them for tribal markings. --Does anyone know whether tattoos were used by sailors for purposes of identification (in case one drowned)? I've also read that sailors sometimes wore an earring so that they had something of value (the gold earring) to pay for their burial if they died far from home. But I don't know if that's an old salty tale or whether it has a basis in fact.

The period is wrong for me to judge much about the costumes, but the thing that stood out as wrong was she had skirts and blouses on for most of the movie. I seem to recall a conversation on the list a while ago about skirt and blouses out of different materials not being period for the civil war era. The credits listed them working with eastern clothing historians and they looked pretty good to me....of course I am looking at them as OHHHH pretty and it looks generally right rather then the is that historically correct. Just hope that when you go see it they don't make the same mistake this theater did...they reversed reels 2 and 3.

Oh, he ranted and raved about it at great length: "Their dublettes are noe lesse monstrous than the reste; For now the fashion is to have them hang down to the middle of their theighes, or at least to their privie members, beeing so harde-quilted, and stuffed, bombasted and sewed, as they can neither woorke, nor yet well plaie in them, through the excessive heate thereof: and therefore are forced to wear them loose about them for the most part: otherwise they could verie hardly eyther stoupe downe, or bowe themselves to the grounde, soe styffe and sturdy they stand about them. Now, what handsomnes can be in these dubblettes which stand on their bellies like, or muche bigger than, a mans codpeece ( so as their bellies are thi their bellies are thicker than all their bodyes besyde) let wyse men judge; For for my parte, handsomnes in them I see none, and muche lesse profyte. And to be plaine, I never sawe any weare them, but I supposed him to be a man inclined to gourmandice, gluttonie, and such like. For what may these great bellies signifie else than that either they are such, or els are affected that way? ...For certain I am there was never any kinde of appatell ever invented that could more disproportion the body of man than these Dublets with great bellies, hanging down beneath their Pudenda (as I have said), & stuffed with foure, five or six pound of Bombast at the least. I say nothing of what their Dublets be made, some of Saten, Taffatie, silk, Grograine, Chamlet, gold, silver, & what not; slashed, jagged, cut, carved, pincked and laced with all kinde of costly lace of divers and sundry colours, for if I should stand upon these particularities, rather time then matter would be wanting." In the 1877 edition of Stubbes' Anatomie, there's a woodcut of two men: one a fashionable english gentleman, with a peascod doublet close-fitted to his body, and the other a countryman, no peascod in sight.

But then I thought about long hair & beards on men. When I was a teen, this was "a personal expression". I even got thrown out of English class once because the teacher thought my hair was too long. [I was never sure what the length of my hair had to do with my ability to learn English...but I was delighted to skip class!] Today you might say....as I did....long hair is acceptable. But is it? Was it? I look at "TV Land" and notice on episodes of "Welcome Back Carter" that, yes John Travolta has long-ish hair, but not long hair. No one does. It all stops about mid ear. If Prime Time TV is an indicator of what TV exec's think will be acceptable to the general public, how acceptable is long hair even in the seventies? Also consider: Is a man with shoulder length hair more likely to get that Wall Street job than a clean cut guy.....even today?

I always wondered if some men rejected the pumpkin type. Would anyone of fashion stuck with a more moderate pair of breeches (in my mind, I mean canions, tight breeches which fit just above the knee) or would they have been considered individualists. Most of the pictures I have seen show men in the former not the latter. The reason I ask is my husband refuses to wear the puffy ones and I haven't been able to convince him that anyone would have worn the other. -Poster: aleed > > Certainly there were period reasons for not wearing the peascod belly > doublets, but can anyone quote me one?

Oh, he ranted and raved about it at great length: "Their dublettes are noe lesse monstrous than the reste; For now the fashion is to have them hang down to the middle of their theighes, or at least to their privie members, beeing so harde-quilted, and stuffed, bombasted and sewed, as they can neither woorke, nor yet well plaie in them, through the excessive heate thereof: and therefore are forced to wear them loose about them for the most part: otherwise they could verie hardly eyther stoupe downe, or bowe themselves to the grounde, soe styffe and sturdy they stand about them. Now, what handsomnes can be in these dubblettes which stand on their bellies like, or muche bigger than, a mans codpeece ( so as their bellies are thi their bellies are thicker than all their bodyes besyde) let wyse men judge; For for my parte, handsomnes in them I see none, and muche lesse profyte. And to be plaine, I never sawe any weare them, but I supposed him to be a man inclined to gourmandice, gluttonie, and such like. For what may these great bellies signifie else than that either they are such, or els are affected that way? ...For certain I am there was never any kinde of appatell ever invented that could more disproportion the body of man than these Dublets with great bellies, hanging down beneath their Pudenda (as I have said), & stuffed with foure, five or six pound of Bombast at the least. I say nothing of what their Dublets be made, some of Saten, Taffatie, silk, Grograine, Chamlet, gold, silver, & what not; slashed, jagged, cut, carved, pincked and laced with all kinde of costly lace of divers and sundry colours, for if I should stand upon these particularities, rather time then matter would be wanting." In the 1877 edition of Stubbes' Anatomie, there's a woodcut of two men: one a fashionable english gentleman, with a peascod doublet close-fitted to his body, and the other a countryman, no peascod in sight.

Hamilton" I made two trips to Mexico in the early 70's and early 80's (total of six weeks). Undoubtedly things have changed but...at that time, Acapulco was so touristy as to be unrecognizable as Mexico. I wouldn't look for much there in the way of textiles. A good place for textiles is Oaxaca, where they do a lot of colored embroidery on cotton (shirts, dresses, etc.) and you can also get very nice traditional black silk rebozos (shawls) or more tourist-oriented shawls of cotton in many colors and styles, rugs, and wool ponchos. Different cities specialize in different items: Taxco is a silver center, Oaxaca is textiles and black pottery, etc. However, all the areas seem to send their materials to Mexico City, which is the only place I know of that carries some of the best of the wares from all over the country (although at a higher price than getting it locally). In addition, Mexico City has incredible antique shops, markets (mercados), etc. Acapulco's beach is BEAUTIFUL but it's not really "Mexico" anymore than DisneyWorld is representative of the United States. The prices are also very high since the local economy seems totally dependant on international tourism. Personal opinion--no offense meant. ------------------- At 12:24 AM 12/10/99 -0500, you wrote: >I've recently learned that I'm going to be taking a trip to Acapulco in >February.

How about that Graphic > Artist opening at the ad agency? But maybe that man with long hair or that woman with a tattoo don't *want* that job. And I, for one, think this is changing. There are several ads on TV right now showing young people with pink or yellow hair giving their parents *good* advise on purchasing stock and that type of thing. An obvious statement about our changing times. Thank God our social mores are changing from the stuffed shirt, judgemental views that judge a person's intelligence and worth by the color of their hair or skin, be it natural or decorative to something more forgiving, more in tune with our insides.

From http://www.harcourts.com/clergy.htm Among Christians, for example, the stole, a scarf adopted as the distinctive sign of the ordained minister, was traditionally viewed as a yoke, symbolizing that the wearer was a servant of God. The eucharistic vestments worn by Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, and Lutherans include the alb, a white floor-length tunic (symbolizing purity) tied at the waist with a rope cincture, over which is worn the chasuble, a full cloak put on over the head. The amice, often made in the form of a collar or hood (symbolizing the helmet of salvation), is wrapped around the neck under the alb. The maniple, a length of material worn over the left arm, was originally a napkin and symbolizes the role of the minister as servant of the people of God. Sincerely, F.

That's because that's what the advertisers want you to think. They can give those kids any lines they want them to say. My experience with these young folks is completely different..............I only WISH they would talk to me about things like the stock market, world/current events, etc. I teach high school art and special ed (CWC). I'm sorry to have to say this, but the kids with the blue hair and piercings aren't the ones interested in the stock market, aren't the ones that are going to go to college, aren't the ones that are going to try to do anything with their lives other than flipping burgers because they just want to listen to their music and work the minimum that they can........I dialogue with them all the time. Now, don't get me wrong, I love these kids, they're my students and I care about them, but they don't keep up. They color their hair and pierce their bodies for "shock" value only and I don't think that Technical Writing Manager, or that man looking to hire a graphic artist to deal with the public cares anything about their ability to make people stare at them. > An obvious statement about > our changing times.

We (my husband and I) are VERY open-minded folks and accepting of everyone, but by simple observation of the teens and 20-somethings, I have to say, I worry about the type of adults they're going to be. We went to our favorite "whole-food" cafe and got the worst service we had EVER had because all our waitress seemed concerned with was the new "tangles" in her hair that she was trying to get to dread. We sat back and watched her completely absorbed in herself and her hair and ignore most of her customers. My problem with this is that they are trying to be different, just like everyone else. Look at the way they put their clothes together, do you think they will do the research and put the effort into a well-made, well-fitting, authentic costume? My guess is, no.....they will throw some things together, probably tear it somewhere on purpose, make it ill fitting, do their hair strange and demand that you accept their interpretation of the costume. We just have to decide what we're going to accept. I have a button I wear that says, "Just because no one understands you, doesn't make you an artist."

What makes that different from the bad service that I got last night from a very well, but very conventionally dressed, waitress, who was more interested in gossiping with the other servers, checking her mainstream, but fashionable make-up, and trying not to mar her salon-done nails. And I went to high school with plenty of girls who looked like her who didn't do squat in the classroom. > > Look at the way they put their clothes together, do you think they will do > the research and put the effort into a well-made, well-fitting, authentic > costume?

Well, I only wrote the part that I left quoted in the message, and I can't answer for the other poster (stichwitch?), that said, I don't pretend that my example is true all of the time. I overstated my case deliberatly to point out that people who wear unconventional dress are no more likely to be indifferent to authenticity than people who don't. OTOH, my particular hobby, ACW reenactment contains a fair number of women who want to be Scarrlett O'Hara and dress accordingly, none of them that I have seen wear anything other than conventional clothing. -Katie _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Dec 15 15:39:16 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA25410 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 15:39:15 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA12475; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 14:58:49 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA28157 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 14:58:39 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo-d01.mx.aol.com (imo-d01.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.33]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA28127 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 14:58:36 -0700 (MST) From: M311@aol.com Received: from M311@aol.com by imo-d01.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.a3271727 (3966) for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 16:58:03 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.a3271727.258968eb@aol.com> Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 16:58:03 EST Subject: Re: H-COST: re: clothing mistakes 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 38 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: M311@aol.com In a message dated 12/15/99 2:48:46 AM Central Standard Time, kayta@slip.net writes: << One of the many things I don't understand about your religion is why tattoos are destroying the temple of one's body, and ear piercing, common among women of the period in which that book was written, is not. >> I know some of the divisions of the denomanation don't allow ear piercing or short hair for women. I married a Mennonite but was raised Conservative Baptist. Now some of the Mennonite dress more like Amish, who broke from the Mennonite Church. Now some, like our Church wear pants, can wear their hair short, pierce their ears. I have pierced ears but I chose to wear my hair long. Long hair is a covering and a glory to women, that is why the Church historically like long hair on women. A womens adornment is supposed to be on the inside and not the outside. The outside would be fancy hairstyles, makeup, jewelry, tatoos, very fancy clothes. Now I have been known to make my hair up and wear fancy clothes but the tatoos are permant and therefore destory the body. Since tatooing is "religious" to some cultures, by not tatooing it would not be conforming to "religions" that don't hold the same beliefs as ours.

The tunic is long (just past the knees), made from red/scarlet wool gabardine, with the sleeves and hem trimmed with 2 inch wide bands of royal blue wool crepe. There is also a white cotton undertunic that goes with it, which is machine embroidered in red and blue, showing at the neck, sleeves and hem. I had made this ensemble for my lord as an anniversary present, and I was hoping that it would change his mind as to the fact that T-tunics can't be fancy, or for court garb. Unfortunately I got my hopes up too high, it seems. My lord downright rejected the tunic. Its too plain, it looks like a dress, it doesn't matter if it is made from $20 a yard wool ("the average person can't tell"), and he won't wear it unless I put more embellishment on it (even then....?). So, I am posting to find out what my fellow costumers can suggest that I do with this. I have seen some trim at the fabric store (leaf/fleur-de-lis scroll work on black in silver thread), but I am reluctant to put that on for several reasons. First, it's $6/m. Second, I want this tunic to be as period as humanly possible (its one of the first pieces I have done that I would consider competing with). And third, it is very difficult to place straight trim on a curved seam (like the neck or hem). I will attempt embriodery if I can figure out what I should do. My experience with embriodery is limited to a few small favors I have made. (Iron-on transfer, covered up with back stitch). I have no idea what stitches are appropriate, (a few for motifs) or colors to use, etc. The intended period is very late 12th century. Help me out once again, all you marvelous people!

I have no idea what stitches are appropriate, (a few for motifs) or colors to use, etc. The intended period is very late 12th century. I assume that you love the guy and he has many other redeeming qualities, right? So, think stem-stitch. Somewhere recently I saw a beautiful tunic with a border embroidered with an outline motif done in stem-stitch. As soon as I remember, I'll post the url. Does he have a favorite color? If not, I'd use a deeper red than the tunic or gold. If you want period, silk thread doesn't cost that much. The one in my hand was listed at 3$ for 8 yds 12-ply silk. Does he have a device/favorite motif? Use it. Another way to snazz it up is beading. Just remember to knot well after each bead. -magdalena _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Dec 15 16:13:48 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA25512 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 16:13:47 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA17564; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 15:33:30 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id PAA14030 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 15:33:16 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from c008.sfo.cp.net (c008-h010.c008.sfo.cp.net [209.228.14.209]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id PAA14014 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 15:33:14 -0700 (MST) Received: (cpmta 23477 invoked from network); 15 Dec 1999 14:33:13 -0800 Date: 15 Dec 1999 14:33:13 -0800 Message-ID: <19991215223313.23476.cpmta@c008.sfo.cp.net> X-Sent: 15 Dec 1999 22:33:13 GMT Received: from [207.102.246.97] by mail.canada.com with HTTP; 15 Dec 1999 14:33:13 PST Content-Type: text/plain Content-Disposition: inline Mime-Version: 1.0 To: SCA-GARB@LIST.UVM.EDU From: S Nielsen Cc: h-costume@indra.com X-Mailer: Web Mail 3.3 Subject: H-COST: Re: Re: Embellishment for long tunic Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: S Nielsen I may have made things sound more extreme than they are.

This tunic was an attempt to remedy that. I will agree that the tunic does look plain. But short of spending a hundred hours embroidering the tunic (which I am willing to consider) what are my options for keeping the tunic appropriate to a 12c Norman?

Second, use several different types of trim around the chest.... eg plain trim, fancy trim, plain trim if all are fairly wide or even multiple lines of trim if trim is narrow. His fanciest has a band of 10" of trim across the chest. Third, you might lay a coordinating trim along the band of fabric on the wrists and hem. The first tunic I made for my husband was of a brown velvet with cross-stitch trim. I used cross-stitch trim fabric (already bound on the edges) but that was before I knew about waste canvas. The trim on the sleeves was red and gold in a narrow, simple design. The hem had a 2" wide trim in yellow and blue as I recall (can't find it right now). Another trick I use for rounded necklines is to bead them. I run a simple pattern of beads (such as \./*\./*\./ with the * & . representing a bead & the lines representing embroidery thread). It really doesn't take that long if you use a short, thin needle and I often put them in whilst simultaneously hemming the neckline. Hope he finds some of these alternatives attractive. If you'd like, I can try to get a pic of some of Kent's tunics to you.

I thought I'd take the time to give an opinion about grommet and eyelet setters to the entire list. If anyone has better experiences with these bench top models, I'd love to hear the manufacturer's name :) I have a bench top setter, as well as the simple die set and hammer, the die set and hammer is actually easier and requires much less strength. (Not to mention the fact that they are much less expensive) I've tried a bench top that has a foot lever also. That was nice for large multiples and since my legs are much stronger than my arms, plus it is easier to get your body weight behind it, it was less effort than the one you do with your arms, but very expensive if you aren't going to be using it every day in a business. I generally use the die set and hammer and the bench setter for multiple hundreds is attached to a work table collecting dust for the most part. ~Kyna Grannd Garb http://granndgarb.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 Dec 15 17:17:13 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA25669 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 17:17:13 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA28494; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 16:36:44 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA09343 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 16:36:39 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mta1-svc.virgin.net (mta1-gui.server.ntli.net [194.168.54.142]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA09324 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 16:36:37 -0700 (MST) Received: from LOCALNAME ([194.168.57.152]) by mta1-svc.virgin.net (InterMail vM.4.01.02.00 201-229-116) with SMTP id <19991215233729.FHFG3233.mta1-svc.virgin.net@LOCALNAME> for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 23:37:29 +0000 Message-ID: <3858997F.17C5@virgin.net> Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 23:49:19 -0800 From: Dawn Organization: ages of elegance (http://www.agesofelegance.co.uk) X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01C-VN712-000 (Win16; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: Underpinnings books References: <0.31871b8e.2589716a@aol.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: RO -Poster: Dawn > > >> > > I agree with the above and... > I would include as a second reference the Jean Hunnisett books.

Meghan, has he tried this on or did he reject it before putting it on? If he hasn't tired it on with all of the accessories he'll wear with it, get him too. Then, drag him outside and take pictures (perhaps somewhere where the neighbors might see and complement him?). After the fuss, if he still doesn't like it, make copies of the pic, have him tell you why he doesn't like it and what might fix it, and sketch on the copies. If you can get him interested enough, have him do the sketching. It may save a lot of time trying to decide on a "fix" if all he wants is something appliquéd on the front. If he still doesn't like it, at least you have some pics of him in it.

It's quicker than an embroidered band, and they can be made quick(ish)ly, It's fairly easy to learn if you don't already know it, and some really pretty patterns can be designed for these. As late 12th century isn't my period at the moment, I can't remember if the tablet-woven edging is OK, but I have seen it on 11th century reenactors, and I'm sure I've seen it on 12th and 13th century reenactors too. There are surely others on the list who could tell us of it's authenticity for the period. Glenda. -----Original Message----- From: S Nielsen > >My lord downright rejected the tunic.

There are surely others on the list who could tell us of it's authenticity for the period. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Dec 15 21:09:10 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA26088 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 21:09:10 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA27459; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 20:28:29 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA23621 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 20:27:51 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from gti.net (apollo.gti.net [199.171.27.7]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA23605 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 20:27:49 -0700 (MST) From: martyr@gti.net Received: from gti.net (morr0615.gti.net [208.216.122.15]) by gti.net (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA26278 for ; Wed, 15 Dec 1999 22:27:50 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <38585C8F.1E6B3D0A@gti.net> Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1999 22:29:21 -0500 X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: re: tattoos & culture References: <0.c316fb42.25892a55@aol.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: RO -Poster: martyr@gti.net Well, I can't relate to the '70s experience because I was a little kid but it does seem that long hair on men did become more acceptable in that decade than in the previous decades-the entire first part of this century featured close-cut hair for men, especially the 1950s. Even men with short hair styles seemed to have long sideburns or just that strange seventies' hair style, like Kotters' modified white 'fro on "Welcome Back Kotter." I really think geography has alot to do w/what one can get away w/ in terms of long hair, streaks, piercings, etc. Anyway most men w/long hair don't walk into a job interview w/their hair down. ~Lisa > Wall Street job than a clean cut guy.....even today?

Yes, not only were the mismatched skirts and bodices wrong, the cuts were wrong as well. Dropped armscyes are a key feature of mid 19th c. women's garments and her bodices had modern set-n sleeves. Her hair was usually dressed quite well if a bit youthful for a widow with a son his age. I just wish she would have tied her bonnet and hat on properly just once... At the very least though she was wearing a corset, the bodices fit her torso correctly and she wasn't wearing enormous hoops. All that said, I LOVED the movie! I'm so glad I don't know anything about Siamese clothing of any time period so I could just revel in the color and the exotic qualities of all of it. I thought the sets, scenery, acting, etc. were all wonderful. I wasn't watching it for history, but for a good story and I got that. I do want to read a more accurate account of Anna's time in Siam though, just so I know for my personal information.

Well, but in the '60's (late '60's) i wore lots of vintage clothing - mostly 20's and 30's (as i don't much care for the '40's styles), some turm of the century, including hats, shoes, handbags, and outerwear. So every generation does some picking up of the pieces of seemingly lost traditions. >But now that I've admitted my ignorance about things pre- 60's- >wear-jeans-everywhere styles, I have to ask - just what are the essential >differences between a cocktail dress and a dinner dress?

(perhaps showing a bit too much ignorance here with such an open >question, but willing to take the chance!). In fact, is there a date when >dresses for distinctive social occasions became the norm? Having been born at the century mid-point, i did experience cocktail dresses and the tail end of dinner dresses. I *think* that a cocktail dress was shorter than a dinner dress and less foofy, often sleeveless, and often black, while a dinner dress was stylistically fussier, longer sleeved, might include chiffon, rhinestones, be more colorful... I'm speaking of the 1950's here. I can't say what the distinction was prior to this. In the 1930's i seem to recall that similar issues hold true - sleeker cut, sleeveless, single or limited colors for the cocktailwear, and foofier styles for the longer sleeved dinner dresses - of course in the 30's both cocktail and dinner dresses were often ankle or floor length. And after the 1960's, it wasn't "jeans everywhere" like it is now. In the early '70's a woman in Chicago still had to wear a dress or skirt to have lunch in a *nice* restaurant. And by the late 70's you still had to dress up, even if you were wearing pants. My mom was shocked when my folks moved to California in the early '70's and she saw women in tennis outfits in nice restaurants in Beverly Hills. But, then, there's a significant difference in clothing styles and standards in different parts of the US, much many of us don't always realize this. (this may have come to light a bit in the tattoo thread...) There was a restaurant in Santa Barbara at which not only did the women have to look "nice", but men had to wear ties - they kept a stash by the door so that any man lacking in the proper neckwear could be supplied without having to be turned away - and this throughout the 1970's.

(I've deliberately left no attribution on the quote.) > What if those in our society who choose to wear what you consider > unusual fashions were to stare and turn up their nose at YOU when > you considered yourself dressed normally and decently? They would be perfectly within their rights. You have the right to wear what you wish.

No, they would be human. People have various reactions to each other. Laughing, staring or turning up one's nose are normal reactions, not being rude. For all I know, people turn their nose up at me on a daily basis. That's their right, and I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. > Would you stare and turn up your nose at a person with a disability? > Of course not. Don't be so sure. I've got an acquaintance that was driving his motorcycle down a dirt road filled with ruts at 3 am after a long night of heavy drinking. As might be expected, he lost control of the bike and as a result he's short a spleen. A year later he shattered his hip riding up the side of a ravine and dropping 40' down the other side. He walks with a limp due to his own stupidity and I think he's worthy of my sarcastic humor. ;-) > The fact that someone is different should not open them up to > ridicule and rebuke, unless they are doing something that is > harmful to YOU. That is my point. Let's face it, you are welcome to wear whatever you like or change your body in any way that you please (within the law of course). But, none of these things make you immune to other people forming an opinion about it. Putting a chip on your shoulder is asking to have it knocked off. Most of the time, I won't bother taking the bait. > And by the way, I am not offended for myself, but offended that > rational and mature people could be so petty and juvenile. Rational and mature people don't call others petty and juvenile. If others are offended, you're better off letting them defend themselves.

Oooh... rotten, rotten to the core. My lord is like Stephen and loves everything I make for him (or is too polite to say otherwise, but still wears it!) The tunic sounds lovely though and shouldn't need embellishment.

(Folks, help me here - I'm thinking of the Tristan and Isolde hanging at the V&A.

He made a deep orange twill wool tunic, around knee length, and sewed yellow-orange heather wool on the cuffs and neck (it matches his red hair exactly!). He cut the neck trim cloth like a facing but sewed it to the outside of the tunic. We were researching period decoration and all we could find was trim at neck, cuff, and hem with either circles, or lozenges, or alternating squares and lozenges. It's a relatively plain period. Then he embroidered a pattern of alternating circles and lozenges on the neck and cuff trim - he isn't much of a perfectionist, so i don't imagine it's very exact, but, hey! he did all this himself! He outlined each shape with stem stitch and filled it with couched laid work (he was "inspired" by the Bayeux embroidery i did and gave him as a "favor") completely filling the circles and lozenges. You could make a neck facing with the royal blue wool if you have enough left over. You could cut in one piece, or two pieces (front and back, or left and right) or even three pieces (back, front left, and front right). You could couch the outline of simple shapes in gold metallic cord or rich yellow wool, then fill with red and white, on the blue. Just suggestions - naturally you will have your own solutions or ideas. Check out the stitches in the Bayeux "Tapestry" - stem stitch, and couched laid word which work up pretty quickly - i made a small piece of Bayeux style embroidery. The URL Merouda the True of Beaumaris sent: http://www.regia.org/embroid.htm shows how to do couched laid work in the black and white sketches at the bottom of the page. If your lord doesn't appreciate all you work, i don't know what to say. Perhaps he needs a new persona in a period with fancier men's clothes "-) Lilinah SCA'ly known as Anahita Gauri al-shazhiya bint-Karim al-hakim al-Fassi _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 16 03:36:57 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id DAA02276 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 03:36:51 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA24861; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 02:56:19 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id CAA07971 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 02:55:34 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mhub.AXP.MDX.AC.UK (mhub.axp.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.6.11]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id CAA07960 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 02:55:31 -0700 (MST) Received: from CONVERSION-DAEMON by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V5.2-32 #37790) id <01JJKD0K6UK0004FX7@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume-digest@indra.com; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:55:23 GMT Received: from mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (mdx-bg-staff2.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.56.3]) by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V5.2-32 #37790) with ESMTP id <01JJKD0JLJWM004IT7@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume-digest@indra.com; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:55:15 +0000 (GMT) Received: from MDX-BG-STAFF2/SpoolDir by mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44); 16 Dec 99 09:52:23 GMT0BST Received: from SpoolDir by MDX-BG-STAFF2 (Mercury 1.44) ; 16 Dec 99 09:52:11 GMT0BST Received: from bg-lib-01157 (158.94.53.126) by mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44) with ESMTP; 16 Dec 99 09:52:02 GMT0BST Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:52:01 +0000 (GMT) From: Teddy Subject: Re: H-COST: Period waleless corduroy!!

I Hate it when that happens, so hve invested in several packs of bobbins. I have at least two full of each colour I use a lot at all times and one of the less fequently used colours (hey, *everyone has favourites they use more often than others...) If I'm heading into a *big* job I'll wind a few extra bobbins before I start. It's still a pain but there's always another full bobbin to pop in when the one I'm using runs out. Like all good plans, there's a flaw. I have to *remember* to refil the empties.

I used the corset generator on the "Elizabethan Costuming Page", and modified it so it was boned like the corset in Janet Arnold's book for the Pfalzgrafin (sp?). I should preface my questions by saying that I intend to make another corset-this was a trial run. My questions are: When you take your breast measurement, should you be wearing a bra? I think I made a mistake by wearing mine, consequently I can't tighten it enough (the edges meet). Should you tighten it at the waist so that the tabs stick out? (My metal stays go down into the tabs unlike the pattern in JAs) They seem to be riding on my hips, and I think I will get chafed. They are sticking straight down. It may be difficult to tighten because of the following: This one may be difficult to visualize. I couldn't fit a grommet in right at the waist, the junction of the main body of the corset to the tab because of the boning going down the center back. The center back is not parallel to the tab, it is at ~45 degree angle. (I tried to draw the right side below). Consequently there isn't enough room between the boning going down the center back and the first stay to put a grommet. There is enough room to put a hand stitched hole. Do you all make it parallel, leave the tab off, or leave the boning out?, or put in hand stitched holes? / / / _ _ I_I I_I Finally, I did take your suggestions and ordered precut stays.

I used the corset generator on the "Elizabethan Costuming Page", and modified it so it was boned like the corset in Janet Arnold's book for the Pfalzgrafin (sp?). I should preface my questions by saying that I intend to make another corset-this was a trial run. My questions are: When you take your breast measurement, should you be wearing a bra? I think I made a mistake by wearing mine, consequently I can't tighten it enough (the edges meet). Should you tighten it at the waist so that the tabs stick out? (My metal stays go down into the tabs unlike the pattern in JAs) They seem to be riding on my hips, and I think I will get chafed. They are sticking straight down. It may be difficult to tighten because of the following: This one may be difficult to visualize. I couldn't fit a grommet in right at the waist, the junction of the main body of the corset to the tab because of the boning going down the center back. The center back is not parallel to the tab, it is at ~45 degree angle. (I tried to draw the right side below). Consequently there isn't enough room between the boning going down the center back and the first stay to put a grommet. There is enough room to put a hand stitched hole. Do you all make it parallel, leave the tab off, or leave the boning out?, or put in hand stitched holes? / / / _ _ I_I I_I Finally, I did take your suggestions and ordered precut stays. I used the 1/2 for the majority of the stays, only using 1/4 at the center back. Do you like the 1/4 better? I could see where they might make a more refined looking corset, would it be more comfortable?

It's avoiding reality to pretend that everything is regarded as equal. It's downright rude (IMO) to tattoo or pierce yourself in a spot that people can't avoid looking at and then dare them not to even THINK anything about you. Same goes for clothes. If you want to defy convention, then you have to expect that some people, maybe even a majority of people, will think less of you. If that bothers you, if you think of that as an insult rather than a challenge, then you picked the wrong way to defy convention. At least today you won't get burned at the stake or otherwise punished for unnatural behavior, or considered insane, as so many people were in the past. I don't know any of the tattooed or pierced people on this list. I can't judge their characters or actions. But I can tell you that IN GENERAL, I think both tattoos and piercings are stupid. I don't have any religious reasons, I am not politically conservative. I just think that they are either frivolous fashion statements, which are as fun and harmless as big-legged pants or shiny fabric shirts, or else they are defiant statements that invite reaction -- and that's the reaction I have. If people are so angry at "society" that they want to make a statement, they should try leading a remarkable life (doing something to make things better for people) rather than looking remarkable. I know that some people dress and decorate themselves as a way to express their actions or lifestyles, but it seems to me that more people just want to look weird and be angry, without doing anything. Looking at them, I have no way to tell which is which. And if they want to do it, fine. But that's what I'm going to think about it. And to bring this back to historic costuming . . . I think that people have always felt this way about bizarre fashions. Certainly there is enough published invective against particular styles, from hennins to pointy toed shoes. Once a style is far enough in the past (as seems to have happened with hippie clothes), it becomes quaint and fun. Maybe we should remember, when we're recreating aesthetic dress or giant codpieces or whatever, that these were not considered harmless eccentricities at the time, but shocking attacks on society. Maybe, in our recreation groups or events, we should try treating them that way -- especially if we have an audience. It would certainly add a new dimension to reenactments!

I think the computer industry has accelerated the loosening of corporate expectations of appearance. If you desperately need a hot-shot super-nerd programmer/webmaster/etc. and the person who can do the job wears a pony-tail or has a pierced nose or purple hair, as an employer, you get over it really quick if the person can walk out the door and be hired by your competitor that afternoon. The computer industry's early formation as a "garage" industry of younger people with little concern for corporate image (image and its accompanying restrictions almost killed IBM, remember?) has been a driving force. I offer for proof Bill Gates. Everyone jokes about him cutting his own hair and dressing like a high-school a-v club member---but he is the wealthiest human on our planet. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 16 09:42:08 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA03363 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:42:07 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA19336; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:01:00 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id JAA11433 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:00:49 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mhub.AXP.MDX.AC.UK (mhub.axp.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.6.11]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA11422 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:00:48 -0700 (MST) Received: from CONVERSION-DAEMON by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V5.2-32 #37790) id <01JJKPQRPS0G0042G0@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume-digest@indra.com; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 16:00:44 GMT Received: from mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (mdx-bg-staff2.mdx.ac.uk [158.94.56.3]) by mdx.ac.uk (PMDF V5.2-32 #37790) with ESMTP id <01JJKPCH682K004F68@mdx.ac.uk> for h-costume-digest@indra.com; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 15:48:31 +0000 (GMT) Received: from MDX-BG-STAFF2/SpoolDir by mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44); 16 Dec 99 15:45:38 GMT0BST Received: from SpoolDir by MDX-BG-STAFF2 (Mercury 1.44) ; 16 Dec 99 15:45:19 GMT0BST Received: from bg-lib-01157 (158.94.53.126) by mdx-bg-staff2.nw.mdx.ac.uk (Mercury 1.44) with ESMTP; 16 Dec 99 15:44:11 GMT0BST Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 15:44:11 +0000 (GMT) From: Teddy Subject: H-COST: UK Costume Convention In-reply-to: <199912161515.IAA24453@net.indra.com> To: h-costume-digest@indra.com Message-id: Organization: Middlesex University MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.12a) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Priority: normal Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Teddy Hello all, Anyone interested in attending the CostumeCon UK 2000 (Please note this is *not* anything to do with "Costume Con," just similar in name) they now have a web page up at www.yorkmpd.demon.co.uk I'm nothing to do with the convention other than planning to attend it.

I have absolutely no compunction about staring at those of our students who have green hair or whatever, if I feel like it, as I reckon they're doing it to invite attention.

I suppose it's just a question of the search for something new. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 16 10:13:03 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA03484 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 10:13:02 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA23551; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:32:31 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id JAA20978 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:32:19 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from kuku.excite.com (kuku-rwcmta.excite.com [198.3.99.63]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA20959 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 09:32:16 -0700 (MST) Received: from roary.excite.com ([199.172.148.162]) by kuku.excite.com (InterMail vM.4.01.02.00 201-229-116) with SMTP id <19991216162929.UHGN19682.kuku.excite.com@roary.excite.com> for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 08:29:29 -0800 Message-ID: <12841180.945361769741.JavaMail.imail@roary.excite.com> Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 08:29:29 -0800 (PST) From: StitchWitch To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: re: tattoos & culture Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Excite Inbox X-Sender-Ip: 144.163.130.106 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: StitchWitch > it has been suggested by some anthropologists that primitive peoples > actually started the practice of tattooing and other body modifications > partly to differentiate themselves from animals - after all, animals dont > dye/braid/shave their hair, wear jewelry, or mark their bodies. it could be > that as we have moved away from living close to nature making the difference > between animals and humans doesnt need to be as explicit, and the reason the > west has traditionally viewed body modifications as "bad" or "strange" is > because it is associated with these less "advanced" people.

Shep" There are a number of explanations of what this design actually is..... It is refered to as a *kalga* or *mango*... also it is said to come from the Urdu word *galb* meaning *hook*. A very interesting explanation of this term which is found in *The Sari* by Linda Lynton is as follows: *The kalga motif is now so ubiquitous in Indian sari and other textile designs that it is hard to imagine it is only about 250 years old. It evolved from 17th Century floral and tree-of-life designs that were created in expensive, tapestry-woven Mughal textiles, primarily patkas - sashes - made for the Mughal court. The early designs depicted simple plants with large flowers and thin wavy stems, small leaves and roots. In the course of time the design became denser, with more flowers and leaves, giving rise to tree-of-life and mixed floral patterns issuing from vases or a pair of leaves. By the late 18th Century the archetypal curved point at the top of an ellipitical outline had evolved. The kalgas created on Kashmir shawls, which became the fashion in Europe for over a century, were certainly the most imaginative and intricate; and it was from the imitations of these shawls woven in factories at Paisley, Scotland, that the name 'paisley' was derived, still commonly used in Euopre and the United States.* She goes on to talk about the asociation with both mango and hook in different languages of India. ~!~ R.L.Shep http://www.rlshep.com ---------- >From: Cheryldee@aol.com >To: h-costume@indra.com >Subject: Re: H-COST: History of Paisley? >Date: Thu, Dec 16, 1999, 7:08 AM > > >-Poster: Cheryldee@aol.com > >In a message dated 12/16/99 6:48:51 AM Mountain Standard Time, >SNSpies@aol.com writes: > ><< The origins are Indian, I believe, and it became fashionable during >Victorian > times. > > Nancy >> > Forgive my poor menopausal mind, but I seem to remember something about the >paisley motifs representing the eye of peacock feathers, something to do with >Hindu mythology.

I don't disagree with you on either of these points except that this person you are describing would probably NEVER be caught dead in costume/garb anyway (I know plenty of girls like her), where the pierced/blue haired practically costumes him/herself every day and would probably be more likely to "Goth" up and go somewhere. > My point (and I do have one) is that all groups of people contain > people who are lazy and self-absorbed and that I have met (percentage wise) > more "normal" people who are like that as I have people who look strange. Agree, I'm just tired of society telling me I have to accept people (conventional or otherwise). I will accept people that are good and honorable no matter what they look like by nature of by self definition. If I give someone the impression that I don't approve - it has nothing to do with what I see rather than what I perceive. What next, is society going to try to force me to accept "soccer moms"! > -Poster: Gaelscot@aol.com > It's not realistic to expect everyone to like or even respect a particular > type of clothing or decoration style.

We had a VERY interesting experience at the last Ren. Faire that we went to. We were taking a break, sitting having a cup of coffee, and across form us was a table full of young pierced, gothicish folks (18+). One of the males had everything we could see multiple pierced, numerous ones on the bridge of his nose, spiked hair and a TERRIBLE attitude. Even when someone would innocently glance at him, he would mouth off. I noticed what was going on so decided to "observe". I watched as people would look at him (even just a glance -as people do in crowds) and every time he would immediately pop-off about them staring at him, take a picture it'll last longer, type of cockiness. He was NON-STOP attitude. We began to see him as humorous (but wouldn't dare laugh at him - well, with him knowing anyway). The wisdom of the child, "My 13 year old said, "If he didn't want people to look at him then he shouldn't pierce himself all over like that to attract the attention." > Same goes for clothes.

Beautifully put. > I don't know any of the tattooed or pierced people on this list. I have no tattoos, never wanted one, but my husband has 3. He is going on his third ponytail (I'm making a reliquary for his second one - a good foot of a braid) and working on a ZZTop beard. He is also a very large man and has his own set of issues as to people's stereotypes of big folks, had to deal with a woman at work that was scared of him because of his size - even though he's very charming and polite.....it was just his size. When he asked his boss exactly what it was that he did, his boss said, "well, you are big". He is a Technical Writer (for 14 years) Manager and has a college degree in Anthropology. He is very intelligent, very well read, doesn't drink alcohol or smoke, a vegetarian and very active......but a victim of stereotyping. > -Poster: "Penny Ladnier" > My husband and son are growing their hair out right now.

My 13 and 8 year old sons wear their hair long. It's required. They participate in the High School drama department - all plays except UIL competition - the Middle School is the grooming station for the High School drama department, so they let them audition for all the plays, the elementary kids get to be townspeople - and the teacher/director requires them (males and females) to grow their hair long. They do so many classics and also have a wonderful summer program called Shakespeare Under the Stars (http://www.emilyann.org/sutstars.html). The directors want them to all have long hair instead of wigs. My 18 year old, that just graduated, cut his hair right after his last Shakespeare. My 20 year old son wears his hair short and looks very conservative..............which he definitely is NOT! He's a trip :-) You can't tell a book by it's cover, but you can definitely read an out-and-out attitude!

Apparently, my original post was worded far more strongly than my situation warranted. I was attempting to provide some background for my request. Next time I will either not post or post my questions without any background, as it appears I have aired dirty laundry that doesn't exist. I am truly grateful for those who emailed with suggestions for tablet woven trim, embroidery or couching. For those who responded with relationship advice, I wasn't soliciting for that. For the record: - my lord does not have bad manners. I would prefer to know the truth about how he feels towards something I have made him than have him hide it from me to spare my feelings, and this is the agreement we have always had in our relationship. - my lord was not rude, rotten or any of a number of other adjectives that have been applied to him. - we do not need marriage counselling, a lawyer or a messy break-up over my lord's tastes in garb. I realize that I shouldn't have worded the original post the way I did, but it's too late now. My original post should have said, "I have a long tunic of such and such description. How can I make it fancier?" Its taken a long time for me to crawl out of lurker-dom, and this is enough to make me think six times before posting something. I will now return you to your regularly scheduled costuming list.

They were fashionable starting in the early 19th century. Ladies also used them for dresses. Machine-made imitations of the expensive hand-made shawls were made in Paisley, Scotland, among other places; hence, the name. There are several good histories on the origins of the shawl. I have momentarily lost my references, but can post them later.

Or maybe a better way of phrasing it - what types of costumes do you absolutely admire on others, but will probably never get around to making for yourself? For me, the answer would be an exceedingly well-done Middle Eastern (can't give you a specific period - I don't know enought about it). There's just something about the look that is visually appealing to me. The other option would be high court Chinese - we have a costumer in my area who does T'ang Dynasty stuff that is to die for and I just drool whenever she goes all out.

What does this have to do with Historical Costuming? >> Interestingly, it does have something to do with it. I, like a lot of you, spend my quality costume time with clothes and manners where tattooing would not be the norm. I never thought about it. But the discussion has brought to mind two specific instances of tattoos and historic situations. In the film "The Bounty" Mel Gibson comes to dinner not wearing his high necked tunic because of the new tattoos on his neck he's gotten from the natives. The Capt. rebukes him and orders him to wear the tunic at the table. There. Tattooing as a costuming character statement. A clever use of it historically that enhances the show. That's what I like to see costumes do. The other incident is a design for "Three Penny Opera" I saw where the designer gave Polly a butterfly tattoo on her bicep. Another...if more fantastical, statement enhancing character and plot thru costume. I'm sure there are others....and others yet to be devised by clever designers.....who may have read this thread! I wish people wouldn't get so emotional about it. You'd think we were discussing abortion or creationism! That's what is unpleasant about the thread. I certainly am not the ogre I'm supposed to be. I've never said I, myself, find tattoos trashy. Personally, it seems to me that a tattoo is like a drawing: every one is different. I find spider webs up the calf a little too much but I had a friend with a Yin/Yang about the size of a 1/2 dollar on his shoulder I thought nice. All I've done is ask questions for discussion....mainly to stop irrational flaming posts from the over emotional who didn't read things too closely. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 16 17:24:04 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA05200 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 17:24:03 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA21685; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 16:44:11 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA29366 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 16:43:55 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from ntserver1.mainsaver.com ([206.17.202.2]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA29343 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 16:43:53 -0700 (MST) Received: by HP-LH3 with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 15:43:54 -0800 Message-ID: <5B38B8D7EED8D211997F00A0C9E57FB91DB6E8@HP-LH3> From: MAGGIE SECARA To: "'h-costume@indra.com'" Subject: RE: H-COST: Dream costume?

Two things spring to mind....18th century with an accurate 100% silk brocade, and an Edwardian afternoon dress with lots of real silk and decent lace. With luck maybe one day I will get a chance at that sort of thing, but the costume I am sort of interested in but will probably never make would be a Minoan one. I think it would be an interesting technical challenge, but my husband would never let me leave the house - and probably keep all photos to himself too *grin* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Claire F.

Please don't feel hesitant to post. I'm afraid that what happened was a common (and regrettable) problem with electronic communication. Without the non-verbal signals that people need to rely on for interpreting emotions, people made the mistake of substituting their own emotional reaction to the situation. It was undoubtedly a subconscious reaction. While I can't guarantee that similar things won't happen again, I do promise that some will have learned from this thread. :-) And I'm sure we can still help you. Towards that end... If you'd like to embellish the tunic with trim, this is a great site: Calontir Trim -- http://www.calontirtrim.com/ I've managed to get trim as wide as 2-1/4" around a keyhole neckline. While it's not simple, it is possible. If you'd like some helpful hints, let me know. 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 Thu Dec 16 18:47:28 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA05351 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 18:47:27 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA01815; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 18:07:17 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id SAA29764 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 18:07:13 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from swan.prod.itd.earthlink.net (swan.prod.itd.earthlink.net [207.217.120.123]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA29723 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 18:07:05 -0700 (MST) Received: from pavilion (dialup-209.244.87.88.Washington2.Level3.net [209.244.87.88]) by swan.prod.itd.earthlink.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id RAA03735 for ; Thu, 16 Dec 1999 17:07:00 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <002001bf482c$c1dfe520$5857f4d1@pavilion> From: "Andrea Gideon" To: References: Subject: Re: H-COST: Dream costume?

Or maybe a better way of phrasing it - what types of costumes do you absolutely admire on others, but will probably never get around to making for yourself? I think it would have to be that red velvet dress that Rhett makes Scarlet wear to Ashley's birthday party. I don't care if it's acurate. I know I'm too fat to look good in that style and I look awful in red, but I love that dress. Another dream costume would be a mid-18th century court gown.

(shawl is a Persian word) They were men's garments, worn around the waist or over the shoulder. Much of the Moghul culture was actually Persian in origin as was the language of the court. There's at least one theory that the paisley motif was originally a stylized date tree flower and dates back to the Sumerians! (can't find that reference right now.) But it was the Indian shawls that were brought back to Europe by British and French soldiers and traders in the late 18th c. There was much cross fertization for the next century or so! One way to tell the difference, is that the Indian shawls were often pieced around the edges. As the art decayed, they started embroidering the designs rather than weaving them. A couple of references are John Irwin's The Kashmir Shawl, Ed Rossbach's The art of Paisley, and Monique Levi-Strauss's The Cashmere Shawl (trans. from the French and mostly about the French "paisleys") Frank Ames book is supposed to be the best, but it's expensive. Meg Andrew's article is at: http://www.victoriana.com/library/paisley/shawl.html They're lovely things,no matter where they come from. Susan Fatemi -- Oh Noh!

Or maybe a better way of phrasing it - what types of costumes do you absolutely admire on others, but will probably never get around to making for yourself? 18th Century Court dress - not the Pannier type, but the gonzo Marie Antoinette, miles of silver tissue, 400 pounds of fabric jobbers. Panniers I have, even if I don't have the costume to go with them yet.

That depends... on the region, the period, the occasion for which the codpiece was made. The style has been for 'larger' codpieces, 'smaller' codpieces, flamboyant codpieces, ludicrous codpieces, subdued codpieces, if you can think of it I'll lay odds that someone, somewhere, somewhen has probably done it (provided it is based on period materials, construction & knowledge! ).

As for the breast thing. I already had a nice c-cup. The corset did definitely lift & made a great cleavage for my shawl collar. If your are really flat, my dragqueen friends recommend ducktape.

Historical costuming is something we can take on and off, representing a time period and/or country, etc. I don't think that tattoos fit into this category. They aren't necessarily representative of a time period, like bustles or white wigs, and you can't take them off. If the tattoos are representative of a group or area, then it would be a anthropological or cultural topic.

It says: "Pashmina Shawls are known for their softness and durability. Their name is derived from the Persian word Pashm which means soft and mina which means hair. The pashmina wool comes from the down of Ibex, a mountain goat that thrives at 14,000 ft above sea level in the Himalayan Mountains. The shawl is warmer and lighter than cashmere and far more durable. With proper care it will last long after other woolens have worn out." This is nonsense. The persian word pashm means wool. period. Pashmina appears to be the Kashmiri/Urdu word for what we call cashmere. It does not come from the Ibex, which is indeed a wild mountain goat and a different animal from the domesticated cashmere-bearing goat. Pashmina also has no *legal* meaning. If you advertise a garment as "pashmina", as in a catalogue I saw recently, you must by law, also state the actual fiber content. e.g. 80% cashmere, 20% silk. For more information, see: The Online Textile Newsletter about Pashima, http://www.onlinetextilenews.com/news/94074354296643.htm Hope this is historic enough! But I hate all the glib misinformation bandied about on the auction sites. cheers, Susan Fatemi -- Oh Noh!

On the other side of the garment, the button holes come right up to the edge, with an integrated tablet-woven edging of silk for strength and durability. The Museum of London Costume series has diagrams showing how this was done. The band was tablet woven and sewn to the edge of the fabric at the same time, i. e. created on the garment, not prior. The detail at the lower six inches of the sleeve opening was treated the same way. The ancient and even recent Peruvians had/have a similar integral edge binding woven, and each pass of the weft sewn into the leading edge of the garment. The Peruvians didn't tablet weave it, just wove it. I mention it, because, and it might be less daunting to you than learning tablet weaving. Directions are in the The Weaving Spinning and dying Book by Rachel Brown, Knopf, 1980, and it is sometimes shown in 50's and 60's books of fine tailoring as an edge detail for a woman's wool suit jacket. Alternatively, a visible eighth-inch to 3/8 " wide silk bias edge or sewn-on shiny rayon twill style band butted to the edge of the faced fabric and sewn on (not on it, but edge to edge) would replicate the look.

The fabric was typically the same fabric used in the garment. Alternatively, the ball might be covered with a woven pattern made with the buttonhole twist.

I can narrow it down to 3. 1 Well within the period I play in and make but unaffordable at present - a full-circle, full-length houpellande with sleeves that drag the floor, elabotrate dagging on every edge. It would be in one of the lovely 100% silk brocades we saw in the silk mill and Museum in Stockholm last month, preferably the red one in the Italian room, the sleeves lined in the blue or green version of the same fabric. Under it, a well fitted cotehardie in gold silk brocade, with dark green silk hose - the sort you have to be sewn into to get them to fit so smoothly at the ankle - and a pair of hand sewn leather shoes with moderate points to the toes and pattens with gold leather straps. Of course, fine linen braes and shirt next the skin. Ooops! I nearly forgot the chaperon to match the houpellande. If i'm going that far I might as well have it hung over my shoulder by the liripipe, fo show, an have one of those nice "fez" shaped hats on my head. Dark green with a band of black fur at the bottom. 2. Complete opposite. Not a period I do much in at all. A mid to late 18th century outfit. Full skirted frock-coat, with big turn-back cuffs, a long waistcoat and fitted britches. The one I want would be in a fairly plain mid-to-dark brown wool, relatively undecorated with plain, hand-sewn buttonholes and non-fancy buttons (The one I *have* from this period is scarlet and white brocade...). I;d need the stockings, shoes, tricorn and cane to go with it of course. It's not the usual sort of thing I go for, I'd love to have this costume, but if I'm going to the time of *making* costume, it usually gets doen in the fanciest fabrics I can get my hands on. 3. The least likely of all. Edwardian ladies "walking" outfit. High collared blouse, little fitted jacket and fairly plain flattish-fronted skirt.

Gosh! I wish I could... I adore chocolate! The information came from a class given by a Laurel in the SCA some time ago. I do know a costuming Laurel of over 25 years in the art who does primarily 15thC who might be able to help. Should I forward the post?

I'm not sure! I started adulthood in 7-1/2 A (not AA not B... but A, which they don't *make* anymore!). Then I got pregnant with my daughter... went up to a 9 until delivery and went back down to an 8. Then I got pregnant with my son. Went up to a 9-1/2-10 and went back down to a 9. Then about six months after he weaned (at 2-1/2 years), I found that I was in an 8-1/2 and none of my thigh high boots fit.

Depends on what kind of neck you want. If you want, you can take it to the local fabric shop & buy ribbing to put around the new neckline. Use a stretch stitch or zigzag. Or you can just cut it & hem it using a stretch stitch or zigzag. There are some performed collars out there (usually on the notions wall with the cuffs) but fabric stores that carry knits should also have 'half' bolts of ribbing which you can then cut into the width you want. Make sure that you double the ribbing. Sew it to the neckline and then fold it over and stitch down. You may do this either on the inside or the outside depending on the type of stitching you want to do and the effect you want.

The easy route for me to see a copy of the book didn't work as we don't have it in stock here at work. I don't know if I'd recognize waleless corduroy if I saw it - it's not anything I've ever seen in the shops here. If it doesn't have the distinctive "ridges/stripes" of regular corduroy, I suspect all the shops here would sell it as "velvet" in the same way that they don't differentiate between velvet and what you Americans describe as "velveteen" Unless I've missed it entirely - any Brits on the list care to comment??

However, I play in the SCA and most of my costuming efforts are aimed at pre-17th c.

It was supposed to be the greatly simplified and stripped down version, but given some accusations I have read about the wealthier orders, perhaps not as simplified as they should have been! In any case, since all (Christian) women were wearing veils at this point in time, the phrase 'taking the veil' would not seem to make much sense unless the literature was written down at a later time when the phrase would have had significance or the person who translated it (English cetainly hadn't developed yet!) used a colloquial phrase common from their time which might not be an exact translation of the original (Latin?).

A Japanese noblewoman's costume from the Heian period (794-1185), made up of hakama trousers and five (or more) kimono-like trailing silk robes layered on top. The colour arrangements are seasonal; right now, I'd like to wear "Beneath the Snow"--top two robes of white, then dark plum-pink, medium plum-pink, and light plum-pink robes, with a scarlet pink chemise (inner kimono). The layers of colours show at the sleeve, at the front overlap, and at the hem. Of course, to do it properly, you'd need at least twenty different silk kimono robes in different colours--and sizes! outer layer robes are cut shorter than inner ones, so that the inner colours show--and a hundred would be better. Ankle-length black hair would complete the look. (Oh, and about a year's worth of tutoring in deportment, to be able to move with the grace essential to such an outfit!) I've been fantasizing about this (but _not_ researching it!) ever since I read Liza Dalby's description in _Kimono_ (see pp. 217-269). To me, it seems every bit as opulent as court Elizabethan, but far more subtle.

I ended up wearing my late Victorian corset under the dress and it worked out well. The other six bridesmaids kept squirming and adjusting and eventually stopped thinking that I take my costuming a little too far... My posture was never straighter than on that day, too. I love the support of all of my corsets, and would wear it out more often, but unfortunately, with many of today's fabrics and fairly close fits, the line of the corset can often be clearly seen. Depends on what you wear over it.

I wish it wasn't...or else, I wish I could be that shape without it, LOL. -Alison Stacy AliaClaire@aol.com Acstacy@cc.owu.edu Ohio Wesleyan University _________________________________________________________________ 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 Fri Dec 17 09:47:29 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA16755 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 09:47:28 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA07246; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 09:05:21 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id JAA06568 for h-costume-nopost; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 09:05:10 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo17.mx.aol.com (imo17.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.7]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA06545 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 09:05:06 -0700 (MST) From: SNSpies@aol.com Received: from SNSpies@aol.com by imo17.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.14671226 (3736) for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 11:04:24 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.14671226.258bb908@aol.com> Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1999 11:04:24 EST Subject: Re: H-COST: Nun's clothing, 5th-8th c.

Or maybe a better way of phrasing it - what types of costumes do you absolutely admire on others, but will probably never get around to making for yourself? For me, the answer would be an exceedingly well-done Middle Eastern (can't give you a specific period - I don't know enought about it). There's just something about the look that is visually appealing to me. The other option would be high court Chinese - we have a costumer in my area who does T'ang Dynasty stuff that is to die for and I just drool whenever she goes all out.

Thanks. Once you've looked at the tablet woven edging website, take you mind one more step. Using 3-4 cards, you sew this tablet weaving onto a garment as you weave it. Instead of having your weft threads on a shuttle, you have them on a needle. The needle picks up the garment fabric on every pass by it. You can also use this to connect pillow tops and bottoms, pouch sides. So you would pick the fabric up with your needle on *every* pass.

Since most habits that I have see have later medieval details ( not proof but an indication) I'm not sure what a Merovingian monk would have looked like either! Perhaps if you could share the actual quote with us, we could get a better idea of how the language was used. I would still tend towards the stripped down version of normal clothing idea for any member of a religious order during this period. Have you tried asking folks at your local Catholic diocese?

Please reply off-list to save cluttering it up with off-topic subjects My favourite raincoat is 13 years old and looks it (and no longer waterproof in important places like both shoulders...) I want to replace it but can't find *anything* in the shops that isn't synthetic fibre, padded, fleecy lined, too short and in a *dull* colour. As I want a bright-coloured, lightweight (possibly lined, but the one I'm replacing isn't), loose, longish (below knee at least) coat with at least some natural fibre in the fabric composition, I'm resigned to making my own. My question is, how do I waterproof the fabric? I have Yards of multi-coloured (loud patterned) printed cotton I'd like to use if possible, but no idea how to make it waterproof (or at least a *bit* waterproof) Any ideas? Next thing I should point out (for those that don't know it already) is that whatever it is preferably needs to be available in the UK as I live in England and getting stuff from abroad is a *major* headache. Perhaps I'm hoping for too much...? Thanks in advance for any help?

In good hardware stores and camping goods stores, there are arerosol and brush applied waterproofing agents for fabrics. Like the commercial waterproofing materials, they slowly wear off with cleaning, but they can be reapplied indefinitely. They do not change the color of standard raincoat fabrics. The products, particularly the brush-applied version, are also used for tents. You can probably find the product on line at REI, Inc., a major US camping and sports gear retailer, otherwise Known as Recreational Equipment Coop, based in Seattle. It is inconceivable to me that a Brit would have to go to a US manufacturer for a waterproofing agent, however!

Was it for yourself or someone else? What problems (or challenges :-) ) did you have making it, and how would you avoid those now? What would you change about it if you were doing it again? I just started sewing again and I'm making the first item of costume I've ever made for an adult. I'm working on a long tunic in dark purple wool, planning to use a keyhole neckline (which I think is what is scaring me the most...), and trimming it in bands of another color of wool (not yet chosen) to be worn later under a shorter tunic-can you say Norman? Not too exciting, but a good first project I hope. Come on, I need the inspiration.....

I did a red velvet for each of my daughters, one with a bejeweled & pearled bust and sleeves, and the other with elaborately embroidered and beribboned detachable sleeves. The former is pictured at my site, but I don't have the pictures of my daughter in it yet.

It was a simple coathardy made of very unperiod silk satin that had the highest shine in the world. It was midnight blue and you could see the light shining off it from a mile away but I loved that dress with all my heart! I did cut the back lace area in a curve so that it would hug me tightly all the way down to my belly button and then flare out two full circles worth at the floor with a 3 foot train! 15 yards of fabric and well worth it! It danced like a dream everytime I danced with it. I got to do all sorts of florishes with it that were very creative on the dance floor. It was off the shoulders and low cut in front. So it was up high in the back to help support it and my ummmm cleavage...that was 50 pounds ago. Sigh. Sincerely, F.

I wanted it for this year as we had a mock wedding at one of our events but because I made the wedding dress and helped everyone else make new frocks I didn't get time. There are no appropriate events for next year but what the hell I'm going to make it anyway. This also means that there are no deadlines I have to work towards so I have time to do it properly. I have found the perfect silk in heavy flat weave scarlet silk with silver metal embroidery at £35pm. I have also just started a jewelery degree (pt to get me out of the house) and want to make a fully jewelled stomacher with rubies, garnets, pearls and diamonds. I have found a picture of an original which I want to copy so now I just have to learn to make the stone mounts etc and save up the pennies. I will be making it as a 1740's mantua with back draping copying the original I handled in the V&A I am also intending to make a cranach style gown in scarlet silk velvet with red/gold metal/silk tissue puffing and the above stones as decoration, I also want to learn to net the headdress. This is for no reason whatsoever as this is not a period that I am likely to re-enact and is not widespread in the uk, except that I have been reading so many renaissance emails from you all that I have become inspired.

It has a black poly rayon velevet overdress, with a laced bodice and attached split front skirt, with hanging sleevelets. It has interlace done in couched silver thread on the bodice front, back, sleeves, and around the edges of the skirt. the skirt is edged and the sleeves are lined with black fake mink. There are real freshwater pearls in the spaces of the interlace. The liene is crimson rayon, with huge pleated sleeves. there is a band of black and silver interlace embroidery with freshwater pearls down each sleeve. The neck and sleeve openings have small ruffs of black and silver lace. This dress has very little to do with history, but it captures my essential feelings about myself. This is the way I dress in my soul. So, it may not be great historical costuming, but it is Art, which I don't often get to feel I've acheived. I don't have one favorite costume that I've made for anyone else, but I do have two favorite people to make for, James and Cathleen Myers of P.E.E.R.S. I've been making costumes for them for many years, since we were all new to reenacting and costuming, and we've grown together. Most of my best work has been done for them.

The trimmings should be with real handmade bobbinlace, a Binche lace if i could choose. The shape of the hoop petticoat should not be the sharp english type, but the elaborate french type that widens out downwards. I have always disliked the sharp english style, it reminds me of a couch, sofa and is very clumsy in my opinion.

My favorite costume that I made for myself is my first attempt, lo these many years ago, at a late Victorian ballgown. Though it is more 'ish' than historical, I still love it. Since at the time I'd not found the wonderful pattern companies that carry the proper styles, I took two patterns that I already had and started there. The skirt/underskirt, from Vogue, was originally to be one piece, but I thought that separating them would make my life easier. And for once, I was right! The underskirt is a black rayon with *miles* of black lace sweeping the floor and climbing halfway up the back. The overskirt is a green taffeta with a wide fuchia flounce, which is short enough to show off most of the floor-length underskirt, and is split up the back to show of the cascade of lace there. The bodice, taken from a Simplicity pattern (yes, I know, oil and water, but it worked) is sewn to the overskirt with a straight waist, and made of the same green material. (I didn't know how to work a point in there then, so I decided to skip it.) The mutton-style sleeves are made in the same black lace that edges the skirt, and the scoop neck is filled in with a black lace collar, which comes up high on the neck, ending with a band of the taffeta. (I made up the lace around the neck, as the pattern stopped at the scoop neckline.) On the neckband, and at the base of the mutton part of the sleeve, are fuchia roses, matching the skirt ruffle. I'd worn this gown a couple of times, and then decided that the front could use some beadwork. So, with needle in hand and french jet beads by my side, I places dangles of beads all along the scoop part of the neckline, and made a short diamond-shaped 'apron' in beads at the front waist. I must say, it looks beautiful. However, when done with the beading, I went to try it on. And found that those 'few pounds' I'd come up with somewhere (funny how that sneaks up on a person) had settled in most inappropriate places, so the dress no longer fits. *SIGH* Back to the sit-ups. . .

My husband had a white cotton tunic with a band of red velvet around the arms, chest and hem. My dress was a white cotton cotehardie with stenciled holly leaves & berries painted around the hem and laced with a green & red ribbon. Our (at that time) infant daughter was in a white gown with holly painted on the hem and a white cap. And then there was the brown satin cloak tunic trimmed with black fur for my husband and a Norman dress for myself with black fur trim and black fur on the maunch sleeves. I also did a set in black cotton... a short sleeved tunic for him trimmed in narrow silver ribbon (woven not satin) around the hem, neck & sleeves while my back laced dress with narrow sleeves had two rows of silver ribbon on the hem, one of silver ribbon on the neck & sleeve hem with pearls set every 1/2" on the neck & sleeves. The most comfortable costume I've ever made are my flannel cotehardies. One is navy on the center two panels (front & back) and rose on the outer two panels (front & back) whilst another is the same with a deep red center and cream on the outside and the third is a butter yellow. I was also especially proud of the Early Tudor I made after getting home from Faire one day (worked until two in the morning!) in a deep rosy rust bodice, overskirt & tie-on sleeves with a darker rust underskirt... and the appropriate corset & farthingale to go with it. Which reminds me... I need to go find my long veil with the beaded edges because my daughter is in a pageant Sunday... I think I'll let her wear her trimmed mulberry t-tunic dress rather than making something new!

If you can get a copy of Holkeboer's book there is a picture under Early 15th C male tunics... her description is "three-quarters of a circle; belted in front and allowed to hang free in the back". If you fold a three-quarters circle in half you then cut a slit about one-quarter of the way from the cut edge. Then you sew that up to the neck & belt that part allowing the back to just float behind you. Worn over a under-tunic. Anyway... as to fur... I placed it on the neckline (about 1" folded over and stitched down) and about six inches folded & sewn on the hem. The sleeves were fur laid over fabric from the elbow down... both on the outside & lining the sleeve. It is my understanding that fur was used to line and to trim garments in colder climates from early times. Richer (eg more rare) fur for more expensive outfits. Holkeboer shows a pattern for Late 12th C female for a Pelicon... which was a "fur-lined outer tunic, worn with or without hip belt". If you need something lighter you can just line part of the garment so that it gives the appearance of being fully lined... one to two inches should do it on bottom hems & necklines... sleeves are dependent on how loose they are. Mine were lined to the elbow because of their width. Hope this info helps!

So it was hard to think of something that would be a true "dream" costume, something I may never actually make. Until I saw this: << My fantasy? A Japanese noblewoman's costume >> I would love to replicate would be a lady-in-waiting's Kosode I saw at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco when they were having their Kimono exhibit several years ago. It had an incredibly delicate twilight scene embroidered/dyed on the back - a pale silver gray sky, mist-filled it seemed, with cherry blossoms outlined across the shoulders. A faint gold moon hung in the sky in between the branches of the cherry tree and a crane stood beneath the tree on the shore of a river with more cherry blossoms. It was all so lovely and mysterious, but the dyeing is far beyond anything I could ever do. There is a picture of it in the catalog for the exhibit, if anyone's really interested I can try to find the isbn.

(Wool fabric buttons were formed the same way.) Aternatively, silk twist (thick thread) was woven over a symmetrical wooden sphere in a passimenterie-like pattern. The intent in both cases was spherical, attached by a thread shank to the leading edge of the garment opening. The buttons may have flattened over time if they were formed over a puff of wool or a tiny bit of compressed rag. Museum of London Book on Textiles and Dress, Maireead Dunlevy Dress in Ireland address this. I've personally seen Turkish/Ottoman caftans with the passementerie-like buttons in this period at the Topkapi Museum. The buttons from Aisa Minor were huge, the size of giant marbles. The fabric covered wool buttons in Ireland tended to be mid size and numerous, frequently all the way up the arm from the cuff. Silk buttons could be a lot smaller and very numerous and closely spaced.

I use a very narrow zig-zag, like 0.5 mm, with my normal stitch length. I stretch the knit very slightly while sewing, and don't make anything that depends on lots of stretch! You may have best luck avoiding stretching as much as possible with a neckline, as the bits off-grain can stretch in pretty funky ways. It's very important to use a BRAND-NEW ballpoint needle, too. And check it for burrs first, just in case. -Amanda _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Dec 17 15:59:35 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA17484 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:59:32 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA27194; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:18:58 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id PAA17953 for h-costume-nopost; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:18:49 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from sight.vcn.com (sight.vcn.com [208.162.240.3]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA17937 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:18:47 -0700 (MST) Received: from default (vcn8.pm3-2.gill.wy.vcn.com [209.193.65.56]) by sight.vcn.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id PAA20541 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:18:45 -0700 (MST) Message-ID: <013501bf48dd$3c038860$3841c1d1@default> From: "Frank A Thallas Jr" To: References: <5B38B8D7EED8D211997F00A0C9E57FB91DB6EC@HP-LH3> Subject: Re: H-COST: codpieces Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:22:36 -0700 Organization: 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: RO -Poster: "Frank A Thallas Jr" Definitely not historical, I know, but my favorite was one seen at a Codpiece Contest - it had the head of a dragon on the end, and inflated and WIGGLED when the wearer squeezed one of those squeaker-bulbs.....

The buttons are red velveteen with little gold flowers embroidered on the top of each one from the Museum of London Textiles book. The sleeve plackets and neckline are hand embroidered in a vine and leaf pattern with gold ping-ling silk, freshwater pearls as buds and gold glass seed bead speckled. The sleeve cuffs turn up for eating and are lined with golden linen. The gold linen is embroidered with the same pattern as the outside in deep red ping ling silk with garnets for buds and the gold glass sead beads. The buttonholes and eyelets are hand sewn with red silk buttonhole twist, the eyelets having metal rings inside for strength. The gown is lined in golden cotton so that when I lift the hem of the velvet dress you see the flash of color. I made a black velveteen reticulated headress that is a band around the forehead and half egg shapes over the ears. This is couched with gold cord and embellished with freshwater pearls within the trellis work. The belt was a gold metal link belt which has now been replaced by the leather and cut brass belt I showed you all a couple weeks ago. I have an emerald green velvet cloak that I wear over it. I have pointed toed mule slippers that are charcoal grey leather with a bronze leather trim that is a border with little 14th century leaves cutouts appliqued on (think illuminated manuscript leaves with three petals). I *LOVE* this outfit, it is currently on my dress dummy for Christmas. (I decorate my dummy for the seasons, the black velveteen cotehardie, my second favorite, I use for Hallowenn) The only problem with this dress is that I am single and live alone and since it laces up the back I can't get in or out of by myself. So, I can only wear it indoors and when there are other ladies around (or a man if I ever get lucky). ;-> The black velveteen laces up the front. Being a turtle on my back on the bed crying frustration one time was enough to teach me a lesson. *GGGG* Cynthia -- Cynthia Long Merouda the True of Beaumaris Barony of Madrone Kingdom of AnTir _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Dec 17 16:10:59 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA17535 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 16:10:55 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA28547; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:29:22 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id PAA20530 for h-costume-nopost; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:29:14 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from na-ims.alcoa.com (na-ims.ami.alcoa.com [147.154.3.39]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA20520 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 15:29:12 -0700 (MST) Received: by NA-IMS with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2448.0) id ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 17:28:41 -0500 Message-ID: <0B3E3AA67456D311A9FC0000E889ED9847C09B@na-dpw1.dpw.alcoa.com> From: "Fairchild, Connie E."

On another news group a gentlemen was asking if anyone knew anything about a "Standard Square Inch Tailor System of Dress Cutting" set manufacutred by the standard Cutting Co., Masonic Temple, Chicago in 1900. It belonged to the mother of an 87 year old lady who offered to sell it to him. He said he wanted to get her full value because she could really use the money. He would like to buy it, but had no idea of what it's value would be, and if it was very valuable he would sell it for her. Has anyone heard of this system or have any idea how much it would be worth or where he could turn to find out? I will forward your information on to him. It's certainly been a busy newsgroup! I seemed to have missed getting Digest V4 #80 today. Could someone send that to me please. Thank you for any assistance.

You're going to be a jeweler? Neat! I just decided that as I was now also making wedding dresses it would be nice to offer the whole package. I have done bits over the years buying findings and mounting them up myself and use real stones on all my sample gowns, they actually work out as cheap as plastic in the long run, but thought I'd go and be taught properly. It would also give me a break from sewing for a couple of hours a week. Have you recreated any > historical designs yet? Not yet. I start stone setting after christmas and have so far just learned piercing and roller texturing. Thes are ideal for early jewellry and as several of my wedding designs are grecian I plan to make a couple of diadems using these methods. I think my tutor is rather alarmed at my ambition to recreate such advanced pieces but I like challenging goals >Your future plan is enviable. I took a > silversmithing class at a local college.

Unfortunately this tutor doesn't teach casting so will have to find a new class for that, but I can have a go at enamelling and etching which will also be useful.

Which outfits did you make? Do tell! Let's see, I made most (all?) of their rennaissance costumes, including my masterwork, James' red leather hunt suit. Cathleen's black taffeta underskirt and sleeves with the emerald and pearl starbursts are favorites of mine. A lot of Victorians; the amethest taffeta with two bodices, the green velvet gown, the blue one with the black sequined lace. Her ivory brocade Regency. Her black Regency. One of these days, when I have a free afternoon (hah!) I'll add the Myers Gallery to my website. I haven't made for them in a few years, because they've been busy getting Peers off the ground, and I've been busy being a mother. For the same reason, I haven't been active in reenacting for around 6 years, so that's probably why you don't know me. And now, of course, I'm going to be too busy with getting the pattern business started...but I will be going to Costumecons and Costume College, so we'll probably meet eventually.

HUGE puffy sleeves, slashed to reveal peacock and hot pink shot silk, dotted with large puffs of gold net centered with large pink glass pearls. The stomacher is plain peacock silk with criss-crossing puffs of gold mesh dotted at the crossing points with three pearls in a row. Before the next time I wear it, it will have little gold medallioms sewn on in the middle of the squares between the puffs. The skirt is the saree, peacock silk satin brocaded with gold, with a 3" border at the top of the skirt and an 8" border at the bottom of the skirt. Over this goes a jerkin made of the "palloo" of the sari - heavier, similar brocade. It has pickadils at the waist and shoulders and puffs of the same gold mesh with white pearls where the pickadils join the body. This is lined with the same peacock/hot pink shot silk.

The period I do the most work in is 1560s/70s, and I love it. However, I'll go back to my first love, which is mid-1850s crinolines. I'd want a frothy confection of a ball gown. Something in white and pale pink silk taffeta with little rosebud and ivy garnishes, with my hair done up and lots of ridiculous ringlets and curls. This was entirely appropriate for me at the age I first imagined it(14), now I'd look like Miss Havisham in it at 41. Actually, a version of this gown does exist, at least in pattern form. I've seen two ACW pattern vendors with a version of it - in Heidi's Patterns it's called 'Sonjia' (or something very like that)in the AlterYears catalog. I also *think* Harriet's TCS patterns had a version of it. Hmmm. I wonder if a more mature version of that gown could be accomplished.

And, if it isn't too much trouble, some of the others on this list might consider it as well. When making something complex or tricky, it helps to have a record of how you did that. Even for the simple techniques, it is sometimes easier to whip out a photo to SHOW someone how it was done, rather than try to explain it. Case in point, the recent discussion on how organ pleating can be done. I still don't quite have that pictured solidly in my mind (not that I'm asking, just was curious), and a photo of the process could be so enlightening.

Though he was one of the most universally venerated saints in East and West, almost nothing is known of his life. Obviously, the most popular result of his cult is the institution of Santa Claus (Claus being a short form of Nicholas). This was ultimately based on his patronage of children. The custom in the Low Countries of giving children presents on his feast day was brought to North America by the Dutch Protestants of New Amsterdam. There it was united with Nordic folklore of a magician who both punished naughty children and rewarded good ones with presents. Too much info again...

Lots of authors do a lot, and are quite willing to share what they know. Some of them have a bit of fun mixing what they know is right/true with what isn't (eg. a lot of romance authors know that the Pantheon was a made up Regency period shopping area...actually the invention dates to about that time, too...but some of those same authors will "use" it anyway). I'm pretty sure I remember reading that book, too. And since I haven't read many in that time period lately, I'm guessing that that was either the one written by the Renn.

I admit I don't know about the period in question, but in more recent times at least, when a woman "takes the veil" it's like a wedding ceremony. She wears a wedding dress and a wedding veil, she's the "bride of Christ". At the ceremony, this worldly garb is exchanged for the nun's habit, including a novice's veil. She gets the nun's veil (usually a different color) when she makes her final profession. (At least until Vatican II. God knows what they do now.) I would think that even in a society where every woman wears a veil, the nun's veil could be a symbolic "putting on" of a new life. This is all speculation of course. There must be *some* kind of documentation of religious orders in the dark ages even though their real heyday was "medieval".

At our Library, we used to have a ton of old CD's from our cd-rom databases. It's often really hard for Librarians to throw stuff out (low budgets...) and they might have a huge stash that they could be persuaded to get rid of. Of course, some libraries might be wary of giving CD's out because of their licenses on the databases (they might be afraid that you'd use the old databases), but if you can convince them that you're going to punch nice big holes in each one that would probably reassure them. Or you could also see if there is a database producer in your town. A call might lead you to all the defective ones you could use... --Kathy Klocko _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Fri Dec 17 21:42:45 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA18218 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 21:42:44 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA29913; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 21:03:08 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id VAA22813 for h-costume-nopost; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 21:03:06 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from smtp1.gateway.net (relay6.gateway.net [208.230.117.245]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA22807 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 21:03:05 -0700 (MST) Received: from oemcomputer (1Cust203.tnt5.princess-anne.va.da.uu.net [63.26.234.203]) by smtp1.gateway.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id XAA04688 for ; Fri, 17 Dec 1999 23:03:03 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <012301bf490d$6f9e21a0$cbea1a3f@oemcomputer> From: "Joel Thompson" To: "costume" Subject: H-COST: late 13th c. dress Date: Fri, 17 Dec 1999 23:07:41 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 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 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by net.indra.com id VAA22808 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: "Joel Thompson" I was just perusing one of my old Art History books, looking for inspiration, when I came across something that I found interesting. It's a picture of an overgown, with short sleeves and slits in the skirt from hem to hip, which allow the longsleeved underdress to show. The view is only the front, so I can only guess that it is the same in the back. The whole thing looks very simple to do, yet with great possibilities. I think it would look especially terrific on the dance floor. The painting is of St. Clare and was done in 1283. She was born in Assisi and followed St. Francis, so I'm assuming that this was an Italian fashion. Has anyone ever seen/done something like this before? I'd really like more info on this one, such as the name of the gown, which class of people might have worn it, and what time-range does it cover. Hey, I've already got the perfect fabric combo in the stash, waiting for something new to make!

In contrast, a Nun's veil was designed and intended to completely cover the hair - and t make her (I suppose) less of a woman of the world - and more a bride of Christ.

Cocktail parties did not really come into being until after WW1, so the "Cocktail Dress" did not exist as such before then. Traditionally, a dinner dress was generally more formal than an afternoon or morning gown. It usually had a lower neckline, and short sleeves - and was made of an "evening" fabric. Jewellery was also worn with it. The Dinner Dress could then be worn to a less-formal ball/gathering or to the theatre or a concert. A cocktail dress was rather more revealing - and was less formal. It was generally a bit "flashier" and was designed to then be able to go nightclubbing in - rather than to a ball or concernt. In later times, the cocktail dress was usually knee length or above, and a dinner dress is usually ankle length (according to my mother who used to make them for a living - and who was a debutante and had to know these things). >In fact, is there a date when dresses for distinctive social occasions became the norm? There have always been clothing/dresses for distinctive social occastions! Traditionally, there were always different clothing worn as "court" clothing, and the biggie that women have is the ballgown. Probably a more accurate question would be" Is there a date when dresses for distinctive social occastions were not the norm?

During the Middle Ages, after the establishment of artisan guilds -- associations of merchants or craftsmen with similar skills or trades -- button makers belonged to the same guild as lace makers, and naturally, lace-making techniques were incorporated into buttons. This would be great if true. I've been wanting to do needle-lace, but was discouraged by the time involved. Buttons would be small enough to be gratifying. Any sources? patterns (not necessarily "pattern-books", but portraits, etc would do)?

Unfortunately dyestuffs used on polyester or acetates are often unstable and break down over time, whether or not they are exposed to light or anything else. I have had to throw out fairly large pieces of acetate taffeta that turned odd colors on the roll in my dark closet. Now I stick to drapery fabric (designed to be resistent to light) or fully natural fiber fabrics (which *can* be re-dyed if necessary).

I made my husband a morning gown and waistcoat for our Christmas open house at Riversdale, an early Federal period house, last year. It is based on the circa 1820 one pictured in the Brooklyn Museum's For Men Only. Inquiries to the museum went unanswered (I have since learned that they don't have anyone doing costume anymore--don't know if they still have the stuff in storage), so all I had to go on was a side view of the morning gown laid out, a front view of the waistcoat, and the cover picture of the outfit on a mannequin. The original was silk brocade, but I couldn't find any I liked (or could afford--it would have required at least 8 yards.) I used one of the Waverly drapery fabrics, a rayon and linen blend, in a chintz-looking print. The morning gown has a shawl collar and the waistcoat a notched one. The gown is constructed much like a coat of the period, unlike the relatively unconstructed banyan of the 18th century. There are side back pleats in the morning gown. It is double-breasted, with a matching belt. Buttons are self-covered. One of the questions I had was whether the gown had a pleat or a vent down the center back. I went for a pleat, but have since found out, from the former costume curator, that it had a vent. I guess I could change it, but I don't think so, at this point. That is the only thing I would have done differently, if I had known. It is typical of the frustration one has working from portraits, fashion plates, or photos of extant garments. One very seldom gets a back view. I figured I was fortunate to at least have the side view of the gown. My husband, bless his heart, was a little reluctant to wear the outfit at first. I was lamenting this to my boss, the director of the museum, and he said, "Does the word effeminate come to mind?" But, as the folks at Williamsburg (who made an 18th century chintz banyan) agree, real men WOULD wear chintz. My husband has since worn it several times and seems okay with it. He wears the ensemble with a shirt and cravat, white knit pantaloons, and brown leather mules (by a company that has been making them since 1804!)

I've seen some beautiful work he's done so I know this won't be out of his skill level, it's just out of my pocket book level for now (one of the things he was working on when I last saw him was a frog pin made from a baroque pearl which looked like it had eyes from its imperfections).

It's a toss up between 2 costumes: 1) My green/pale yellow bustle dress, which I made for MissMela's costuming class a couple of years ago. It was made from an antique sari and *yards* of mint green and pale yellow silk dupioni, and almost as many yards of green/yellow upholstery trim. Nothing on it I would change - it came out perfect IMHO. Look for it at Costume College 2000 -Janet's talked me into being in the fashion show. 2) My recreation of Raphael's "Joanne of Aragon" portrait gown. I had to make this dress for the one reason that Joanne and I look a lot alike. It was red in the painting, but I made it out of plum velveteen. The only thing I would change is I would have washed the gold silk satin lining of the sleeves before I sewed it together - it shrank a little and I need to fix the sleeves now. That'll teach me.

I've never actually got round to trying it for myself, though. You use a cardboard disc with nicks cut all round the circumference. To the best of my recollection, you stretch threads across radially, looping them round the projections between the nicks, then use a needle to take a thread round spirally, passing it round each radial thread. When the disc is full, you remove the cardboard and pull the circle into a sphere round a lump of wadding. (hope this makes sense.) Could this be the kind of thing your silkwomen were making?

Our early 17th century music group may be branching out into doing some Regency period gigs, and as I've always loved that style I hope to make myself a suitable costume. I'm too old now for a simple muslin chemise-dress, though my figure is still slight, and anyway I will have to hide my short hair under a cap. Cue for research into what Miss Austen herself might have worn? BTW, on the subject of actors in historical costume; my vote would go to Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy; he (or his costume designer and hairdresser) hit off the look perfectly! (For non-Jane Austen fans, I'm talking about the BBC's "Pride and Prejudice" of a few years back). Over the Christmas holiday I plan to start on a sleeveless 17th century bodice for hot days (the only sleeveless one I have is not authentic enough for meeting the public at close quarters in) but the Regency one may be my next project.

Voided velvet is where the pile 'disappears' and a spectactular design created because the extra warp is woven into the ground of the material. This technique is very different than the 'burnt' (usually chemically done) or pressed (Like when you take a stamp and press the design into the velvet), although *sometimes* they do look alike. There are examples of voided velvet in period portraits, the most famous is the gown Eleanore of Toledo wears. It has been repeatedly stated that the fabric the gown is made of is a brocaded voidedvelvet with looped pile. There are other examples but I can't remember them, right now.

He called out 'Who's there, what do you want?'. He was really freaked and woke me up. I look, see this headless body and told him to chill, it was just Zelda. He says 'Oh, okay.' and rolls over. I reached out to put my arm around him, the minute my hand touched him he flew out of bed screaming. Zelda was banished to the attic for the duration, unless she was being helpful and then she had to stay in the dining room. The whole thing still makes me chuckle, sadist that I am ;).

But, of course, I'm not far off making this now. For me costuming has become an art form and life-work, and I'm happily pursuing the pieces I've always wanted to make. For instance, just finished what I call an 'art' scarf, which is based on an image from a Scandinavian 6th century tomb - basically a hunting scene quite stylized, all in black, red and 24k with pearls. In the new year this scarf will be up for sale on our website and perhaps on the E-bay. At the moment I'm working on another 'dream' piece - a Restoration aristrocratic waistcoat in blue silk. The embroidery pattern is adapted from one created by Charles Germain St. Aubin for the wedding garments of the Dauphin in 1747. It's a repeated motif of eloganted leaves and berries, about 3 1/2" wide, around the neckline, down the front and across the bottom, as well as across the pocket flaps. This is being embroidered in gold bullion and silk. When it's off the frame it will be backed and lined with fine linen and hand-sewn together, then up for sale on the website.

The seams and tabs (armscye and waist) were piped with a heavy gold metallic cord. The sleeves were tied in with brick-colored and tawny grosgrain ribbons, tipped with gold aglets. The trunkhose were made of a chocolate-colored cotton velvet, high and stuffed very full, and cartridge-pleated at the waist and legbands, with a codpiece. It was worn with a large white, lace-tipped ruff and white hosen. I've done lots of suits, but for some reason this turned out to be my favorite. I've only worn it once, but should wear it again soon before it no longer fits (I'm Weight Watching myself into a stupor).

When trade with India began to explode in England in the mid to late 1800s, so did fascination with things Eastern. In an attempt to curtail the cost of the shawls which were being imported, and to regain market lost to imports, the English textile industry attempted to copy the designs. What resulted is the highly stylized paisleys we know today. In fact, the best of these designs came from, you guessed it, Paisley, England. If you would like a general overview of paisley and the shawls that came as a result of fascination with the design, you might look up a wee Shire publication on shawls. It is not a definitive work by any means, but does give one an introduction as well as a good bibliography.

Tablet woven braids have been made and worn as decoration on both male and female garments for an incredible length of time. In the non-christian germanic and thus Anglo-saxon period they seem to have been the only decoration on textiles. NO embroidery like is known from later period was used then. If at all, only a few decorative stitches and only to decorate the actual seam, to hold it together and in this process to decorate it with different coloured wool threads being used for the different stitches like blanket stitch and tailor's stitch on one seam. Absolutely beautiful braids were found, for example, in the Scandinvian 4th century male grave in Hoegom (Migration period) on the tunic. But never ever was braid found across the chest of a tunic, but I can only speak about up to the 9th/10th century Anglo- Saxon, but only at the wrist, the hems and the collar opening. P.S. The beautiful late Saxon embroidery some talked about, which was found on the Regia website, was made by my boyfriend's mother. I wore the dress once on an event... ;-) beeeeaaauuuuutiful!!! Rust coloured reddish silk and embroidery also at the sleeves (wrists) with genuine pearls and gold threads here and there in a tree of life design.

I have one that was highly amusing -- at least to me: We've been moving out of our apartment and into a house, and taking our time, so small loads would go down to the car, seemingly randomly. It came time to take Patience (the dummy) down; I could carry her, but I decided to put her on the hand-truck and roll her down. So there she was, in her covering, but no clothes per se, lying tits-up at an angle on the dolly in the elevator, and who should want to share the elevator but a teenage boy. He was probably around 15. He walked in, said hi, looked at what was on the dolly, turned really red, and turned and faced the door. I imagine he was dying of embarrassment, poor thing. -- JANUARY 1, 1000 : This was the historic day that humanity celebrated the dawn of our current millennium. The occasion was marked by feasting, dancing, and the public beheading of a whiny, tedious group of people who would not stop insisting that, technically, the new millennium did not begin until January 1, 1001. -- Dave Barry (I guess I'll be beheaded soon - 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 Dec 18 11:10:57 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA28857 for ; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 11:10:46 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA18172; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 10:28:40 -0700 (MST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id KAA22987 for h-costume-nopost; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 10:28:37 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail.rdc2.pa.home.com (ha1.rdc2.pa.home.com [24.12.106.194]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA22981 for ; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 10:28:34 -0700 (MST) Received: from kjroom ([24.40.39.20]) by mail.rdc2.pa.home.com (InterMail v4.01.01.00 201-229-111) with SMTP id <19991218172828.PQGK19663.mail.rdc2.pa.home.com@kjroom> for ; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 09:28:28 -0800 From: "Kristen Gee" To: Subject: RE: H-COST: Re: clothing mistakes Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999 12:28:29 -0500 Message-ID: <000801bf497d$4d0fbd40$0600a8c0@kjroom> 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: <3857CF65.E41F1611@pacbell.net> Importance: Normal Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: "Kristen Gee" Alright-this is it for me, but what you wrote in reply was truly mind-opening for me. True-it is human nature to be rude, arrogant, and slighting. But I thought that in this society that sort of behaivor was suppressed or reserved for the very young or very stupid. What is the point of manners, if mocking someone is acceptable? What is the point of any code of conduct if rudeness is acceptable? Honestly, I thought children were taught how to behave for a reason. Or maybe I am archaic and ignorant of modern society. Why not call someone petty and juvenile if it's ok to laugh, stare, and turn up your nose at them?

If you don't want to hear any more on the subject, please feel free to delete this right now. (I've deliberately left no attribution on the quote.) > What if those in our society who choose to wear what you consider > unusual fashions were to stare and turn up their nose at YOU when > you considered yourself dressed normally and decently? They would be perfectly within their rights. You have the right to wear what you wish. We reserve the right to make fun of you for it. ;-) (Same thing goes for tattoos and piercings.) > They would be rude of course, and so would you if you did the same > to them. No, they would be human. People have various reactions to each other. Laughing, staring or turning up one's nose are normal reactions, not being rude. For all I know, people turn their nose up at me on a daily basis. That's their right, and I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. > Would you stare and turn up your nose at a person with a disability? > Of course not. Don't be so sure. I've got an acquaintance that was driving his motorcycle down a dirt road filled with ruts at 3 am after a long night of heavy drinking. As might be expected, he lost control of the bike and as a result he's short a spleen. A year later he shattered his hip riding up the side of a ravine and dropping 40' down the other side. He walks with a limp due to his own stupidity and I think he's worthy of my sarcastic humor. ;-) > The fact that someone is different should not open them up to > ridicule and rebuke, unless they are doing something that is > harmful to YOU. That is my point. Let's face it, you are welcome to wear whatever you like or change your body in any way that you please (within the law of course). But, none of these things make you immune to other people forming an opinion about it. Putting a chip on your shoulder is asking to have it knocked off. Most of the time, I won't bother taking the bait. > And by the way, I am not offended for myself, but offended that > rational and mature people could be so petty and juvenile. Rational and mature people don't call others petty and juvenile. If others are offended, you're better off letting them defend themselves.

What resources >would you recommend as sources for ideas? > >-Amanda > To all jewelers and prospective jewelers, A book I *highly* recommend is "Renaissance Jewelry" by Yvonne Hackenbroch. Sotheby Parke Bernet Publications by Philip Wilson Publishers, Ltd., London, 1979. ISBN 0-85667-056-1. and Lizenzausgabe C. H. Beck'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung (Oscar Beck), Munchen, 1979. ISBN 3-406-05751-9. It is a very large book (oversized, with about half again as many pages as Arnold's Q.E.'s Wardrobe Unlock'd) and is OOP. The subject matter is 16th Century European jewelry. There are separate chapters on Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, England, and Portugal & Spain. There are wonderful pictures of surviving jewelry pieces (with dimensions!), usually with obverse and reverse views, with many in color. I have often thought that talented jewelers could reproduce these pieces from the pictures. Plus lots of portraits showing how the jewelry was actually used (good costume source, too!). If you do find a copy of this book, expect to pay quite a bit for it; new (about 15+ yrs ago) it cost me $95 + shipping from Sotheby's. I would call any price under $200 a bargain. Good luck (and let me know when you start making pre-1575-style jewelry ), Joan Jurancich Sacramento, CA joanj@quiknet.com _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sat Dec 18 18:28:23 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA29625 for ; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 18:28:23 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA20276; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 17:48:44 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA20616 for h-costume-nopost; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 17:48:24 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from ultra2.quiknet.com (ultra2.quiknet.com [207.183.249.4]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id RAA20611 for ; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 17:48:22 -0700 (MST) Date: Sat, 18 Dec 1999 17:48:22 -0700 (MST) Received: (qmail 5867 invoked from network); 19 Dec 1999 00:48:19 -0000 Received: from 212.64.3-9.fo.pmpool.quiknet.com (HELO JOANJURA) (207.231.64.212) by ultra2.quiknet.com with SMTP; 19 Dec 1999 00:48:19 -0000 Message-Id: <2.2.16.19991218164849.3417f3aa@mail2.quiknet.com> X-Sender: joanj@mail2.quiknet.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 2.2 (16) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: h-costume@indra.com From: Joan M Jurancich Subject: H-COST: La Mode Bagatelle is back Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Joan M Jurancich Several weeks(?) ago someone posted that the La Mode Bagatelle website was not active.

For folks who didn't get the first message, these can be seen at http://witch.drak.net/lilinah/EgyptKnit1.html They are blue and white, have diamond-star toes, and patterns of diamonds, zigzags, and bands of Kufic script saying "Allah." They are my third knitting project ever. I didn't make them in a completely authentic manner, partly because i didn't know how. However, all the patterns and the method of making the heel are authentic. I have now gotten my attempt at instructions for making them in a historically accurate manner on line at http://witch.drak.net/lilinah/EgyptKnit2.html Since some folks noticed this page, i want to let them know that i have completed the directions for the short-row heel. I thank those who have sent encouraging messages. They have been very heartening. Additionally, i have since gotten more information and have been experimenting with actually knitting from the toe up and with making a second kind of historic heel. I have finished one sock, scanned it, and again supplied directions. This sock is an anklet, unlike the first pair, which are knee socks. Ankle high socks have been found in Egypt. This sock is entirely an invention of mine, unlike the first pair, which are my take on an actual sock. It has two bands of Kufic script that say "baraka," that is, "blessings." This pattern is derived from a piece of 13th century Andalusian knitting. All details are on the page. The pictures and directions for the "blessed" anklet are at: http://witch.drak.net/lilinah/EgyptKnit3.html As i'm a novice knitter, i welcome any feedback about my instructions, and i'll answer any questions anyone may have about my process... Also, if there are any problems with the pages, display, etc., please let me know, as i'm trying to make this information accessible and i will gladly attempt to correct any glitches.

Set in the summer of 1520, location is The Field of Cloth of Gold at Val D'Or between the towns of Guisnes & Ardres, France. It's a Harlequin Historical. The author lives in Burke, VA (and is a Living History actress at the Folger Shakesperean Library...a bit beyond the time period of the book, but not much). Under the author info. the book also says "She would love to hear from her readers. Please write to her at: P.O. Box 10703, Burke, VA 22009-0703." Since the book was published this year, that'll probably get a letter to her. Good Luck! ...and I bet there are a bunch of us here curious to know if the codpiece she describes ever existed :-) -Elisabeth _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sat Dec 18 22:50:10 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA29948 for ; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 22:50:09 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA14633; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 22:10:44 -0700 (MST) Received: (from majordom@localhost) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id WAA19379 for h-costume-nopost; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 22:10:39 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from airmail.suffolk.lib.ny.us (airmail.suffolk.lib.ny.us [199.173.91.33]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA19372 for ; Sat, 18 Dec 1999 22:10:36 -0700 (MST) Received: from bchamber (dial-in61.suffolk.lib.ny.us [199.173.93.61]) by airmail.suffolk.lib.ny.us (8.9.3/8.9.1) with SMTP id AAA27137 for ; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 00:10:34 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <005c01bf49df$50a52c80$3d5dadc7@bchamber> From: "Beth" To: "H-Costume" Subject: H-COST: Favorite/dream costumes Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 00:09:29 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0059_01BF49B5.5159A180" 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: RO -Poster: "Beth" This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0059_01BF49B5.5159A180 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable My old dream costume is now my favorite - my bloomers.

Yes, I had thought so as well; and I've found documentation for smaller ones, too. But, I'll keep looking until I can assure myself I have checked all avenues of inquiry before speaking up. On the other hand, I vaguely recall some sumptuaries about excessively long points on shoes, and a few caricatures in period. And I think that we on this list have already 'talked' about the points so long they required a chain or something tied to just below the knees to hold the points of the shoes out...I've got to check my files to recall what was said, though.

To the best of my recollection, you stretch threads across radially, looping them round the projections between the nicks, then use a needle to take a thread round spirally, passing it round each radial thread.

At any rate the costumes looked really nice: a bunch of lovely bustle era Victorians and some really fun stuff from the Mikado. Just thought folks might like a heads up.

My favourite book for Italian Ren is Elizabeth Birbari's Dress in Italian Renaissance Painting. mortraeth/vandy vandy simpson, wareham, ontario _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Dec 19 17:39:10 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA08833 for ; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 17:39:09 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA21649; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 16:58:01 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA15224 for h-costume-nopost; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 16:57:29 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo24.mx.aol.com (imo24.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.68]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id QAA15218 for ; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 16:57:27 -0700 (MST) From: SNSpies@aol.com Received: from SNSpies@aol.com by imo24.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.b38db10a (3935) for ; Sun, 19 Dec 1999 18:56:53 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.b38db10a.258ecac5@aol.com> Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 18:56:53 EST Subject: Re: H-COST: Nun's 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 38 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: SNSpies@aol.com Margo asks, << Couldn't this relate to the fact that women becoming nuns were (supposed to be) virgins, and therefore did not wear veils in their daily life? >> Actually, I do have a contemporary picture of what are called "Holy Virgins", and they are wearing what appear to be long white veils.

It is not all inclusive, but is a good start to the ones I refer to the most. Research Resources: This list is not comprehensive; it is given only as a beginning point for researching Italian art. This list does not include research sources such as sumptuary laws, correspondence, inventories or other texts. Some books on this list has some historical information, but the emphasis has been on providing visual artifacts. I encourage you to add to this list as you do your own research. 1) Painting in Renaissance Venice; Peter Humfrey 2) Domenico Ghirlandaio; Emma Micheletti 3) Painting of the Renaisssance; Manfred Wundram 4) Paintings in the Uffizi & Pitti Galleries; Mina Gregori 5) Italian Frescos, the Early Renaissance; Steffi Roettgen 6) The Borgias; Marion Johnson 7) The 15th Century: The Prospect of Europe; Margaret Aston 8) The World of Titian c. 1488-1576; Jay Williams & Editors of Time Life Books 9) The World of Durer c. 1471-1528; Francis Russell & Editors of Time Life 10) Paintings in the Louvre; Lawrence Gowing 11) Uffizi Florence; published by Newsweek Inc & Arnoldo Mondadori 12) Fashion from Ancient Egypt to Present Day; Mila Contini 13) 20,000 Years of Fashion, the History of Costume & Personal Adornment; Francois Boucher 14) Bronzino; Charles McCorquodale 15) Bronzino; Edi Baccheschi 16) Royal Heritage the treasures of the British Crown; J H Plumb & HUW Wheldon 17) Bronzino; Alessandro Cecchi I hope this list helps a little.

I beg to differ. By definition a synthetic gem is one which conists of the same chemical compostition as a natural stone but, was grown in the lab, by any method. These days you can get almost anything as a sythnetic. The Russians are doing a nice synthetic quartz for example. Actually, a lot of sythetic stones look very different under the microscope. For example, you can usually see *round* or extruded bubbles, curved strations, or little hexagonal platinum crystals. It all depends on the method used for producing them. However, the makers of these stones are getting a lot better at disguising these things, giving gemmologist more of a challenge. : ) Glass, plastic, etc... are simply refered to as man-made. Unfortunately, a lot of dealers tend to confuse the concept of synthetic & man-made. As for treatments, almost all gems these days have been treated in one fashion or another. The treatments which the law regulates disclosure of is diamonds. For example, if a diamond has been irradiated, laser drilled, or fracture filled, this must, by law, be stated when the stone is sold. I'll get off my soap box now. : ) If you would like more info on this stuff I'll be happy to talk to you about it off list.

C.E. Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Grace Morris Several years ago I was invited to join a company of sisters as they attended a Shrine full of relics at an event. I didn't want just the average "penguin" outfit (no offense intended), but wanted something more unusual, and even outrageous, as that is my style. I "interlibrary-loaned" I don't know HOW many books, including one in French with hand-tinted illustrations and real bookworm holes. At the time I was working on a class entitled "Music in the Cloister", so I searched in all of those, also, including Sisters in Arms. After all this, I came away disappointed. The first great period in the founding of cloisters for women seems to have been the 8th-12th century. (For lots of information, and really juicy stories, about Carolingian houses, see "Women Under Monasticism: Chapters in Saint-Lore and Convent Life between A,D,500 and A.D. 1500" by Lena Eckenstein. Cambridge University Press.) My collected impresession was that even in the early part of this period, there was little uniformity of dress, the emphasis upon simplicity and modesty; visual evidence shows mostly black, white, brown, beige, etc.. Veils, of course, but in the early years I never saw any of the stiff support under the veil, merely soft draping around the face, neck, and head. Accounts that tell of the abuses, usually of the abbesses, relate how they used gold tiring pins, silks with trains, carried little pet dogs, etc.. In other words, they were dressing in the fashion of the times in which they lived. In short, if I was to be a truly outrageous nun, you wouldn't know me from anyone else in the SCA... There is a happy ending. Sometime after the event, I happened upon a painting of the wall of a 12th/13th(?) century Swedish church, showing a nun in what at first seemed to be your run-of-the-mill penguin suit. Closer inspection revealed a large (4-5 inch) white stripe down the middle of her black veil. Christened the "skunk nun", and armed with my personal reliquary for/of St. Dogma, I am now prepared to take my place among my sisters. A few other sources about nuns: Carr, Annemarie Weyl.

I call mine "Montmorency" He/she is really old with two of the thigh pieces missing -he seems to be constructed from resined pressed cardboard covered in canvas , with lots of brass and shiny wooden bits. The chair that lives with him is called "old faithfull" but thats a different story. Now then; A happy solstice to you all and a merry Christmas/yuletide as per your own particular persuasion- Heres a seasonal tip for all, especially if you have any males in your family who may fall into gluttony during the festivities. Make loop of elastic about 2 inches long sew a button on one end, cover the rest with a bit of ribbon but leave the loop at the end free. Attach to waist opening of trouser of said gluttonous male. This will expand as the stomach is filled past normal . Its a lot more tidy than them just undoing the button and of course may stop the effects of gravity on the trousers. Adjust idea accordingly for any historic period; Happy times Dave _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Dec 20 07:58:39 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA19820 for ; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 07:58:38 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA09496; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 07:19:08 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id HAA07856 for h-costume-nopost; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 07:17:48 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo-d09.mx.aol.com (imo-d09.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.41]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA07847 for ; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 07:17:47 -0700 (MST) From: Gaelscot@aol.com Received: from Gaelscot@aol.com by imo-d09.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.3dade10b (4365) for ; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 09:17:12 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.3dade10b.258f9467@aol.com> Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1999 09:17:11 EST Subject: H-COST: Re: favorite costume you have made To: h-costume-digest@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0.i for Mac sub 189 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Gaelscot@aol.com My favorite costume wasn't for me, and isn't particularly authentic. I made it for my husband, for his SCA knighting, years ago when I still had a long way to go authenticity-wise but had begun to "get it." I bought white "linen" (it was a linen-cotton blend, mostly cotton, but I didn't know where to get real linen then and I was thrilled) and made hose to go over the white cotton braes he already had. Then I made him a white tunic with a keyhole neckline and handmade 3-in-thick white bands of trim at the neck, the sleeves and the hem. I made it by couching white fake silk cording in a sort of wave pattern, and sewing a fake pearl in each wave. I made matching garters for his hose -- I had no idea how to really make them, so I just made smaller (about 2-inch) bands and sewed white shoelaces at the corner. He got to have most of his vigil all by himself in a spectacular Greek Orthodox church, and the rest in a tent, both time surrounded by guards who would not let anyone in. This was before the now-popular (in this area anyway) custom of having open vigils in tents with huge buffets provided by kind cook friends. It was exactly what he wanted -- five our six hours by himself in a church with his sword, wearing white undergarments, thinking about real knights (many of whom of course did not do it this way). There was a black tunic to put on for the actual ceremony, with embroidery and red and white check checked pieced trim, but the white tunic was the special one and it is the most special to me. I can make much nicer things now, but I've never made anything that meant so much.

FOr the trim on period garments, the tabet woven edge is applied after the garment is sewn up and edges faced. The weft is on a needle which goes in and out of the edge of the garment with each pass. Sometimes once each pass, sometimes 2 times each pass, which makes the thing roll up around the garment edge.

I got some bright orange brocade curtains a friend was getting rid of. When she realized I was making costume from them instead of hanging them at the windows she demended I wear it to the next event she was attending. It's "fantasy" medieval, I'm afraid. Square necked doublet with very narrow "skirts" (6 inches at most), "houpellande" sleeves that widen from the shoulder toward the wrist so that the bottom corner of each almost drags the floor when my arms are outstretched, a shoulder cape and hood with a long liripipe, fitted hose, and codpiece and ankle boots with turn-down cuffs. The doublet, sleeves, codpiece hood and shoulder-cape are in the orange brocade. The lining, hose (originally wool-crepe, remade in punk velvet when the wool ones split), sleeve lining, turn-downs, and hood/cape lining and turnback are all in vibrant pink (plain dyed cotton), as are the points up the front of the doublet and the bows fastening the shoes. The shoulder tabs and skirts on the doublet and the bottom edge of the shoulder cape are elaborately dagged. The sleeves, hood opening and boot cuffs are also dagged and turn back to show the pink of the lining to full effect. One of these days I'll finish the full-circle orange cloak lined in pink satin and dagged all around the edges..... It certainly causes a stir when I wear it to travel to events. My current favourite I made for someone else is an Italian Ren. I made as a surprize for my friend Lissa. High necked fine cotton chemise/shift with very narrow pleated ruffle above the neck band. Bottle green damask undergown with a lowish rounded-square neckline and mid-rib length waist. Rust coloured cotton furnishing velvet overgown with an even lower neck of the same shape. Open fronted skirts with a black and rust braid decorating the opening and matching brad used to form tabs over the shouders. I made her two sets of velvet sleeves to match. One pair full-length with the back "seam" open from wrist to above elbow, tied across the puffs of chemise with black points. the other pair seperate sections for upper and lower arms, also pointed togehter with black. It's not highly decorated, but it looks wonderful with the green of the undergown showing at neck and in flashes when the overskirts part at the front. Lissa has lovely long, dead-straight fine blonde hair and the colours suit her really well. The fact that this outfir *rally* works well was brought home to me recently, however when she loaned it to me so I could "rent" it out to some people who were running a stall at a Medieval-themed Christmas Craft Fair at Ludlow Castle in November. It was worn by two different girls, both very different from eachother and from Lissa, and I kept catching glimpses of them through the crows and thinking how great they looked. The outfit was so popular that several girls are planning to make themselves versions of it and Lissa is very happy because the people I rented the dress to paid for the dress to be cleaned and they also run a "Gourmet Chocolate" shop and paid her for the hire of it in hand-made chocolates....

I'd like it to be reasonably authentic, in concept anyway. Is there, anywhere, a site that has some basic Italian Ren info up? I'd like to know what is worn, from the skin out, and maybe basic descriptions and/or sketches of the layers. Thanks! The costumes in the Revels were OK- not authentic, but plausible-looking. There was one couple who had seemingly wandered in from Tudor England! And the king and queen were rather discordant; he was dressed like a pope, and she like Glinda the Good Witch (but not as well made)! I wonder what they were thinking when they costumed those 2... It looked nice from the audiance (except for the king and quee, but they were mostly in corners), and the show was wonderful.

DeCamp" Hi all, I am completely confused, and I'm hoping someone here can enlighten me. Background: For years, I've been admiring a picture in Hunnisett's Victorian-to- Modern book. In her section on "Making a basic dress", she has a picture of a slim-bustle Victorian gown made up by Colin Lavers. She says he used skirt 24A. There appear to be two skirts, an underskirt and an overskirt. The overskirt is gathered up at the sides, seemingly to about knee level, and the front (and, I presume, the rear) drape gracefully to about 6" above ground level. It looks like the gown is worn over a corset and either no bustle or a very minimal one. Now the story: Okay, so I tried making this, using skirt 24A. I made an underskirt out of a stiff calico and an overskirt out of hunter green velveteen, both from skirt 24a, then dressed my dummy in a corset and bustle petticoat and underskirt and overskirt and tried to gather the skirt as shown in the picture. (If you don't have the picture in front of you... it looks as though the maker gathered the skirt all the way along a side back seam.) And the problem: When I gather the skirt the way it looks like it's been gathered in the picture, it doesn't end up looking like the picture. WHY?!!?!!? My specific gripe is that the overskirt fabric does not swag in the same graceful folds in the front and back of the skirt. Instead, the front and back still reach the floor, even though I have gathered the sides as shown in the photo. Right then. Anybody got any ideas why this is happening? thanks Gail _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Mon Dec 20 15:00:36 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA20532 for ; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 15:00:35 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA03869; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 14:20:55 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA28989 for h-costume-nopost; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 14:19:29 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from curly.excite.com ([199.172.153.144]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA28971 for ; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 14:19:26 -0700 (MST) Received: from patti.excite.com ([199.172.148.159]) by ewey.excite.com (InterMail vM.4.01.02.00 201-229-116) with SMTP id <19991220211718.UIMJ319.ewey.excite.com@patti.excite.com> for ; Mon, 20 Dec 1999 13:17:18 -0800 Message-ID: <11340021.945724638304.JavaMail.imail@patti.excite.com> Date: Mon, 20 Dec 1999 13:17:18 -0800 (PST) From: StitchWitch To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: Historical Links Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Excite Inbox X-Sender-Ip: 144.163.130.106 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: StitchWitch Hello!

I'm planning to make an Egyptian "Coptic"/Byzantine style tunic out of it (circa 4th through 11th centuries CE). I am in the habit of washing all my fabric before i cut it, except for things that really can't stand it. What i what to know is, should this hold up to machine washing in cold water? I DO NOT want it to get fulled, so i'll hang it to dry. I imagine it will shrink a little. Is it likely to end up being fulled anyway from agitator action? Is it likely to shrink more than a little? Should i resign myself to gentle hand washing of my costume in the bath tub?

A wild stab in the dark here, as I don't have the picture in front of me. Is it possible that some of the swag is attached over the skirts, and what looks like two skirts is really two different sections of one skirt? Does this make any sense whatsoever?

What interests me about this is the women's gowns (of course!). Again, the overdresses with the short sleeves and the slits up the sides, front and back. Very loose and comfortable looking. But what really got my attention is the way they are decorated. One of them is definitely parti-colored with heraldic motifs, and one of them has these huge dragonflys together with this gigantic geometric design on it! Is this accurate, or am I seeing something that represents something else? Meaning, the title is "allegory of peace", so maybe this is just artist's fancy, not what women really wore in the streets of Siena? Any thoughts on this are much appreciated.

I haven't used Skirt 24A (I've been using Skirt 25 for my bustles) but I did manage to get a nice drape on the overskirt of my bustle dress by doing 2 things: 1) The overskirt isn't cut from a square of fabric. Well, it is but I added 4 darts to the waistline, up to 12 inches long to gather in the waist. Otherwise there was just too much material there to drape nicely (it looked too poofy). 2) I didn't gather the sides - I pleated them, using largish pleates (about 2-3 inches). I think this works better for the expanse of a front of a dress (which was 45 inches or so wide, as I was using a sari and wanted to keep the embroidered bands on the edges). I can send you pictures if you'd like to see how this dress looks.

Appropriate to wear to dinner, then a concert or informal ball. I think that Mela defined the difference between "dinner dress" and ballgown in our bustle class as dinner dresses generally could have longer sleeves than a ballgown (which tend to have off the shoulder or very short sleeves). My 1878 dinner dress has elbow length sleeves. Also the necklines varied more on dinner dresses - square, scoop, v-neck, etc. > Cocktail dress: More revealing and less formal than dinner dress. > Knee length.Appropriate to wear to cocktails and then to a nightclub. Probably a "modern" definition. I don't think "cocktail" dresses became called that until the 40s or 50s. > > Ballgown...? Fancier fabrices, more decolletege, short or nonexistant sleeves, always full length with full skirts, IMO.

It's playing here in Los Angeles, although I don't know if it's on general release. They do that a lot around here so that they can qualify for the Academy Awards. Another one to look out for is "Onegin" - it's on extremely limited release here (just enough to qualify which means it's playing in one theater for one week), but the review I read raved about it and the pictures looked decent. I was going to try to catch it yesterday but ran out of time.

There's a cautionary box about it in my only recent source -- >the Fire Mtn catalog. Well, that *could* be a recent American law that hasn't filtered up here yet (Canada) but, I would find that a bit surprising since it affects our gem trade so radically. Try contacting the GIA (Gem Institute of America) for the most up to date info on that. http://www.gia.org/ The thing is, you probably wouldn't recognise your favorite gems if they weren't treated. Literaly almost all of them are. For example Tanzanite, when you see it has a lovely bluish violet colour. When it comes out of the ground in almost all cases it's a muddy greeish colour. Or what is commonly referred to as "London Blue" or "Swiss Blue" Topaz has been irradiated to produce that bright blue colour. Emeralds are usually oiled so shouldn't be put in an ultrasonic cleaner. As you can tell the list goes on. Believe it or not there is one thing that *should* be oiled on a regular basis. That is opals. The colour of opals is created by little pockets filled with water and minerals. Unfortunately, opals can dry out over time. So, to keep them in good shape take sewing machine or watch maker's oil and rub them down periodically. This should also keep them from cracking. When buying opals always hold them up to a light source and look for cracks. If it's cracked, you don't want it - it will dry out. Anyway, that is probably more information than you wanted to know...

Pearl and mother-of-pearl are aragonite, an unstable form of calcium carbonate, and I *think* oiling helps pearls keep their lustre, though I could be misinformed.

The Infanta Isabella - gold brocade gown shown in 20,000 Years of Fashion 2. Empress Theodora (Byzantine court) 3. Queen Elizabeth II's coronation gown (yeah, it's 20th century, but the beadwork is fabulous!) My favorite costume that I've made is a re-creation of Michael Whelan's cover painting for the Summer Queen by Joan Vinge (fantasy). The painting is only head and shoulders so the rest of the design was up to me. I ended up with a "tailcoat gown" (shawl-collar jacket-style bodice without the collar, with open-front skirt sweeping back from center front into a 2 foot train in back) done in gold lurex velvet overprinted with gold foil roses. The blouse is a tawny gold on light gold printed china silk. The underskirt is just a gathered rectangle - 10 full fabric widths of silk georgette - over 450 inches of skirt!! There are two shades of yellow, two shades of green, and bright orange as panels in the skirt. The lurex velvet and the georgette came from one of the stores in Toronto's sari district. Then there's the giant headdress shown in the painting.

Or shorter than knee length, given fashion and good legs. As someone else pointed out, "cocktail dress" is a modern name. Earlier in the century, they were called afternoon dresses, even though they were worn in the evening. I'm also reminded of the movie "Pretty Woman" where the hooker character has been sent off to a fancy store to buy a decent dress. "And you need a dress to wear to...? " "to go to dinner". "Ah, then you'll need a cocktail dress". The look of befuddlement on Julia Robert's face says it all. >Ballgown...? generally fancier than a dinner gown, more decollatege, fuller skirts, designed to be seen at its best advantage on a dance floor rather than across a table.

Kassandra -----Original Message----- -Poster: Pierre & Sandy Pettinger Jumping in a little late on this...even tho' I mostly do fantasy costuming, there are a few historicals I want to do: 1. The Infanta Isabella - gold brocade gown shown in 20,000 Years of Fashion 2. Empress Theodora (Byzantine court) 3. Queen Elizabeth II's coronation gown (yeah, it's 20th century, but the beadwork is fabulous!) My favorite costume that I've made is a re-creation of Michael Whelan's cover painting for the Summer Queen by Joan Vinge (fantasy). The painting is only head and shoulders so the rest of the design was up to me. I ended up with a "tailcoat gown" (shawl-collar jacket-style bodice without the collar, with open-front skirt sweeping back from center front into a 2 foot train in back) done in gold lurex velvet overprinted with gold foil roses. The blouse is a tawny gold on light gold printed china silk. The underskirt is just a gathered rectangle - 10 full fabric widths of silk georgette - over 450 inches of skirt!! There are two shades of yellow, two shades of green, and bright orange as panels in the skirt. The lurex velvet and the georgette came from one of the stores in Toronto's sari district. Then there's the giant headdress shown in the painting.

I wear corsets all the time, the result of breaking my back years ago and I found medical corsets were terribly uncomfortable so I got a corsettierre to make me a Victorian one with added steels up the rear to hold my spine. Over several years my waist shrank, much the same way your finger does under a ring and my corsets got smaller. The result now is that I have a small, but not tiny waist (21 inches) and all my clothes are made to fit (and I wear clothes based on the 1890's styles) so that it's very obvious what I'm wearing. Nobody has objected yet, in fact the opposite applies and the guys like it and the women say they wish they had the commitment to wear a corset.

The ones that work the pattern counter are the worst. I gave one lady a list of pattern numbers and sizes I needed and she gave them to me in all size 18-22 and said that the size 10 wouldn't fit me.

Use the bath tub, room temperature water, dish washing detergent, a vinagar rinse, and a fabric softener, with a lot of soaking and very little handling. press ou as much water as possible each change, and at the end, take it to your washer for a delicate spin, line dry or dry flat.

A section covered movies and TV adaptations of her works and forthcoming adaptations. According to the book, a new dramatization of "Northanger Abby" was in the works for British TV. Has it hit the telly across the pond yet? Was the costuming good or not? The last adaptation I saw here was on "Masterpiece Theatre" years ago and I'm a great fan of the fashions of the 1780's and 90's--in the earlier adaptation, many of the gowns were straight out of Heideloff's "Gallery of Fashion" and were to die for. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 21 09:49:45 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA31332 for ; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 09:49:44 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id JAA15025; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 09:14:40 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id JAA00329 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 09:14:30 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mashie.force9.net (mashie.force9.net [195.166.128.30]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id JAA00322 for ; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 09:14:27 -0700 (MST) Received: (qmail 20932 invoked from network); 21 Dec 1999 16:14:26 -0000 Received: from coors.free-online.net (212.56.108.80) by mashie.force9.net with SMTP; 21 Dec 1999 16:14:25 -0000 Received: (qmail 9357 invoked from network); 21 Dec 1999 15:50:34 -0000 Received: from 219.04-02.quay.dial.plus.net.uk (HELO cdc) (212.159.71.219) by coors.free-online.net with SMTP; 21 Dec 1999 15:50:34 -0000 Message-ID: <001301bf4bca$8cd04680$db479fd4@cdc> From: "Sally Ann Chandler" To: Subject: Re: H-COST: medieval needle-lace buttons?

Come Monday I find that I do not have a clean set of clothes in the house, and class in a hour. So, I grabbed latest period costume, 1910 day suit, and got dressed. Right down to the bow tie and straw boater. And off I went, the only people who said a thing complemented me on how nice I looked. Other than that no reaction, but then I do live in California.

So I skulked in the back door wearing my coat and made it safely to the AV room. I was almost right--only one person stopped by that day. My boss. I lucked out; apparantly the guy had a fetish for pvc stiletto boots.

Looks as if the "new law" I thought I remembered was my mistake, but it does imply that misrepresentation is punishable by various laws. Disclosure Guidelines for Gem Materials http://store.yahoo.com/firemtn/gemenguid1.html We use the following symbols to designate natural, enhanced, synthetic and imitation (man-made) gemstones. All of the symbols used are those described by the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA), of which we are members. It is the practice of Fire Mountain Gems to disclose all enhancements to the gems we sell (with the exception of normal cutting and polishing). We also disclose the method of enhancement, if known. This disclosure will appear both on the stone’s advertising and on the stone’s invoice. For the benefit of your customer and your company, we strongly suggest that you follow these guidelines when you sell stones and jewelry. (ASBL) - Assembled Products made of multiple layers or combinations of manufactured and/or natural materials joined together. Example: opal triplets. (B) - Bleaching The use of chemical agents to lighten or remove a gemstone’s color. (C) - Coating Surface enhancements to improve appearance, provide color or other special effects. (D) - Dyeing The introduction of coloring matter into a gemstone to give it new color, intensify present color or improve to color uniformity. (E) - Enhanced This indicates that this type of gemstone is routinely enhanced. Since many enhancements are difficult or impractical to prove definitively, the approach taken in our printed materials and invoices is to assume, unless otherwise indicated, that such enhancement has been done to the particular gemstone material being described. If the particular type of enhancement is known, that enhancement symbol will be stated, rather than the “E” symbol. (F) - Filling As a by-product of heat enhancement, the presence of solidified borax or similar colorless substances which are visible under properly illuminated 10x magnification. (G) - Gamma/Electron Irradiation The use of gamma and/or electron bombardment to alter a gemstone’s color, which may be followed by a heating process. (H) - Heating The use of heat to effect desired alteration of color, clarity and/or phenomena. (I) - Infilling The intentional filling of surface-breaking cavities or fractures usually with glass, plastic, opticon with hardeners and/or hardened foreign substances to improve durability, appearance and/or add weight. (IMIT) - Imitation Man-made products, fabricated in such materials as glass, ceramic or plastic designed to imitate or resemble the appearance, but not duplicate the characteristic properties, of a natural gemstone. (L) - Lasering The use of lasers and chemicals to reach and alter inclusions in diamonds. (N) - Natural Stones which are not currently known to be enhanced. (O) - Oiling/Resin Infusion The intentional filling of surface-breaking cavities of a colorless oil, wax, natural resin or unhardened man-made material into fissured transparent/translucent gemstones to improve appearance. (R) - Irridiation The use of neutrons, requiring an environmental safety release from the NRC, with the combination of any other bombardment and/or heat treatment to alter a gem’s color. (S) - Bonding (Stabilization) The use of a colorless bonding agent (commonly plastic) with a porous gemstone to give it durability and improve appearance. (Syn) - Synthetic These are man-made materials which have essentially the same optical, physical and chemical properties as a naturally occurring counterpart. (U) - Diffusion The use of chemicals in conjunction with high temperatures to produce color and/or asterism (star-like) inclusions. (W) - Waxing / Oiling The impregnation of a colorless wax, paraffin and/or oil in porous opaque gemstones to improve their appearance. Additional Notes: If you resell gems obtained from us, or any gems for that matter, it is your responsibility to provide all information pertinent to the enhancement of a gemstone at the time of sale. If a stone is man-made, it is also the seller’s responsibility to disclose that fact. This information is required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Failure to identify enhancement of natural gemstones, when present, is an unfair trade practice. Such information is required at each and all levels of jewelry commerce. Failure to inform buyers could subject violators to civil as well as administrative remedies. Anyone who is uncertain about these requirements may write the American Gem Trade Association, P.O.

As a tangentially-related item: At Pennsic, I learned how to do three-person fingerloop braiding, and one of the patterns allegedly period, produced a 1" wide strip of something I would have identified as lace, if I didn't know better, having just made it.

I've done a bit more research and have discovered that yes, indeed, Merovingian nuns did wear some kind of specific clothing other than their regular secular garb. In Gregory of Tours (6th century), he tells of Ingitrude whose husband came to remove her from a sacred place. "She was in the habit of a nun, and declared that she was vowed to penitence; she therefore refused to go with him." In Caesarius of Arles' "Rule for Nuns" (6th century), part of Rule 5 states that "even those who enter the religious life as virgins, if they do not fulfill this condition [of giving up all possessions], either shall not be received or shall not be permitted to put on the clothing of religion ..." Rule 44 of the same "Rule for Nuns" says, "Let them have all their clothing only in a simple and respectable color, never black, never bright white, but only natural or milky-white; let it be made in the monastery by the industry of the prioress and the care of the wool-mistress ...

They were very common on women's undergarments, and strangely enough on men's shirts. There was a sailor buried in 1843 who was exhumed in the late 1980s. His shirt, a blue striped calico, had needle-lace buttons that had been made around metal rings. Also, in a book I have (which is at home, and I can't remember the title) on Victorian clothes cleaning methods. The author quotes a number of sources that state that needle-lace buttons are better for undergarments, because they can handle being boiled and run through a mangle. Where shell buttons can not.

So, he would be dressed like a byantine bishop complete with a pallium. Legend has it that he found out about a family who was so poor the father was going to sell his daughters into prostitution when they came of age. As each daughter came of age, the bishop tossed a bag of gold coins into the daughters' room, providing her with a dowry and preventing her going into prostitution. There are a lot of other legends, but that's the one most closely connected with gift giving, and the connection to St. Nick.

I think you spot clean the garment with the provided liquid, toss them into the bag with a damp towel, seal and place in the dryer. I've heard some folks at work talk about them, but I haven't tried it myself. I think it works ok on things that need to be freshened up, but I'm not sure about things that are very dirty.

What about >green garnets? >Thanks for any info. Greetings, Well, aquamarines are usually treated to improve their colour. However, off the top of my head I don't remember any specific references to treatments in peridot or garnet. If you look at extant pieces from more than 100 years ago the garnets do tend to look pretty much the same. As for green garnets, most of them are of fairly recent discover. For example Tsavorite (green grossular garnet) was discovered in the Ural mountains, I believe and named after one of the Tsars, Nicolas I think. Demantoid garnet as a rule isn't treated but, is difficult to find in anything larger 1/2 carat. Again, I believe it's of a more recent discovery. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 21 21:43:44 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA32508 for ; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 21:43:43 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA11038; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 21:08:43 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id VAA17685 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 21:08:27 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from smtp.interlog.com (root@smtp.interlog.com [207.34.202.37]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA17675 for ; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 21:08:25 -0700 (MST) Received: from test (ip188.toronto25.dialup.canada.psi.net [154.11.82.188]) by smtp.interlog.com (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id XAA13093 for ; Tue, 21 Dec 1999 23:08:23 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19991221230002.009d2970@mail.interlog.com> X-Sender: dnunn@mail.interlog.com X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 (32) Date: Tue, 21 Dec 1999 23:00:02 -0500 To: h-costume@indra.com From: Danielle Nunn Subject: Re: H-COST: medieval needle-lace buttons?

Greetings and happy holidays, Actually, I'm familiar with the different uses of the word lace however, needle-lace is a specific type of lace done in the 16th century and later using primarily button-hole stitch. Since this is what was asked about, that is the interpretation I took. I have no difficulty what so ever with the concept of "lace" as in cord buttons being used.

Greetings, I having fun with this! Thank you all! Yes they are both partially composed of aragonite and conchiolin (I've forgotten the correct spelling). Actually, you don't want to oil pearls deliberately, they're quite porous and that could damage or discolour them. Also try and avoid alcohol, hair spray, and cosmetics around your pearls that can also damage the surface. The best thing for pearls is wearing and handling them. Your body's natural oils are best for keeping the lustre. Don't just leave them in jewellery box, take them out and wear them or play with them. Does anyone need an excuse?

I'm no expert, but I think blue topaz is actually irradiated brown or yellow topaz (I don't recall which). Subjecting it to radiation makes it turn blue. I have a pair of blue topaz and ivory earrings my BIL made me a few years ago that are a lovely pale shade. I think some other stones are also irradiated to change their color. Also some of the more porous stones can be dyed - a lot of "turquoise" you see nowadays has actually had the blue added to inferior stone. Opals now are done frequently in thin layers of poorer quality stone and backed with black onyx to make them more fiery, and a deeper blue/green shade (which is rarer in pure opals) - my motto is if you can't see thru the opal, don't buy it as it's probably a triplet.

He said that he wouldn't mind hiring a punk-rocker, wild dresser, tattoo-ed person, etc., if he knew it wouldn't bother his customers. Sometimes, the boss is easier to please than the customers themselves. So, if she were to wear a corset, or whatever, to work, where it didn't exactly blend into what is considered normal, the customers may avoid the place. "I am not going in there!

The first one, http://ps.theatre.tulane.edu/Period.Styles/Costumes/text/Reformation.Women/C K37.html is one I want to make for myself. I am not a stickler for completely periodicity but want to make it close. I've got a red jacquard which is almost thick enough to be called a brocade, just softer. So my questions are: Do the dark sleeves have to be a different fabric, or could they be the same? The cloth of gold over the neck, can it be silver and would a silver mesh work ok for that?? This second dress is one a friend of mine would like, http://ps.theatre.tulane.edu/Period.Styles/Costumes/text/Cavalier/CO10.html and she's wondering what kind of fabric the jacket would be made of. We are figuring it would be worn over a corset, would the collar be attached to the dress or the jacket? Oh, and any hints on the hat and hair style?? Any other hints and tips would be greatfully recieved, as well. Thanks for all help!

I am in the process of finishing up the Folkwear Victorian Walking Skirt pattern. This skirt is from the end of the 19th century. Do I need to wear it with some sort of small bustle/pad to make it look right? If so, I came across the following picture on the Web, http://www.ourtownusa.net/~wodnhors/3b12.jpg, and am wondering if this is the kind of bustle I should look for. Thanks from a beginning costumer.

The first picture is Bronzino's portrait of Lucrezia Panciatichi (Panziatichi? Both spellings look wrong). I have seen this style of gown in other portraits with both contrasting and matching lower sleeves. However, in Italian fashion, the contrasting sleeve appears to be preferred (matching is more French, I believe). Here's a similar dress with even bigger upper sleeves, and contrasting lower sleeves, Bronzino's "Lady with A Puppy", (CGFA, American mirror site): http://cgfa.kelloggcreek.com/bronzino/p-bronzino7.htm Although the gold color was preferred, a silver mesh over the shoulders would be all right; the portrait of a de Medici matriarch (Eleanora of Toledo, with her son; can't remember if it's another Bronzino, but I think it's in the Uffizi) shows a gold mesh over the shoulders, and almost all of the metallic gold embroidery in this period is actually silver gilt (gold plated over silver). In a pinch, you could claim it was an old mesh-perhaps a family heirloom- and the gold had worn off. As for the second outfit, this appears to be the "Golden Doublet," variously dated to 1573, 1578 and 1600 and reputed to have belonged to QEI herself (Payne, Davenport). It was considered informal wear at the time, and often worn under the Elizabethan surcoat (Boucher, Arnold). Appropriate materials are embroidered linen and embroidered or brocaded silk. The collar definitely does not attach to the jacket/doublet itself, and I would consider the collar on this display to be too large; the standing collar is for formal wear and the jacket is, essentially, Elizabethan sportswear. Portraits from the turn of the 17th century depict this style with platform collars (flat collar, standing straight out from the top of the neck, requires an underpropper), standing collars (aka Medici collars), falling ruffs and regular ruffs. Patterns for this jacket and others like it can be found in Payne (1st ed. only, not the new one), Arnold-PoF III (1560-1620), and Waugh-Cut of Women's Clothes 1600-1900. As for the hairdo, front should be pulled back over some kind of padding to create the pouffy look, the back put up in a relatively high bun, and covered with a lace-edged coif. In a pinch, she could pin a small doily (well starched, though) to the back of her head. And that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Feel free to e-mail me privately if I haven't already dumped too much information on you. Now, if only someone would ask me about French and Flemish influences on English fasion at the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. . . . ;-> -Briony --- Connie Bolton wrote: > > -Poster: "Connie Bolton" > > > > I have questions about these two gowns, please. > > The first one, > http://ps.theatre.tulane.edu/Period.Styles/Costumes/text/Reformation.Women/C > K37.html > is one I want to make for myself.

At the time, I didn't need any extra bustle or padding to make it look right. The gathering in the back is very slight and seemed to be enough to give it the look required. I seem to recall that Folkwear makes their patterns from existing period clothing. I can't imagine they would change it too much; they are proud of the fact that their patterns produce authentic clothing. I also don't think they'd require a bustle they don't offer a pattern of. I loved my skirts. I made one for summer in cotton drill, one for winter in a forest green wool, both full length. Then I made a bunch in different prints and solids to wear for daily wear in mid-calf length. I always felt elegant in them.

Bustle gowns were in the 1870's and 1880's. The walking skirt is suitable for 1890-1910. It does tend to have all the fullness gathered at the back, rather than evenly all the way around, as in a dirndl skirt. I can't recall if the pattern mentions it, but you need to reinforce the hem in some way if you plan to wear the skirt much. A heavy tape or braid or fringe may be attached to take the wear instead of the skirt edge. if your skirt is lined, you can face the entire hem with flannel, attaching the top of the facing to the lining only.

The book is full of large, professional photos. The costumes are amazing. There are sections on hairstyles and hats as well. And the author's commentary is well written and amusing. A must for anyone interested in the '30s or '40s.

The jacket is probably a linen ground with metal and silk embroidery, braid stitch, detached buttonhole etc. And lots of it! The same for the coif. This particular coif is called 'cheeks and ears' I think. The ruff/collar probably attaches with hooks to the jacket on the inside. Don't know about the skirt or the hair..

The jacket is similar to ones illustrated with scale patterns in Janet Arnold's "Patterns of Fashion, 1560-1620. While the embrodiered pattern is very similar to the jackets illustrated in Arnold's(was this from an Elizabethan-Jacobean pattern book--I've seen designs very much like this on several surviving jackets and portraits), the shape is different--being more elongated and fitted to the figure with sleeve ends belled out more than Arnold's illustrations and patterns. The neck is a V rather than round and the standing half ruff was probably pinned in place with a supportase to keep it in place. The skirt looks finely quilted or patterned and probably had a modest hip pad to hold the shape(see Hunnisett's "Period Costume for Stage and Screen" for various hip pads and farthingales). _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Dec 22 13:02:29 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA10701 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 13:02:29 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA27972; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 12:27:29 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA13918 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 12:27:24 -0700 (MST) Received: from deliverator.io.com (root@deliverator.io.com [199.170.88.17]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA13904 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 12:27:22 -0700 (MST) From: ches@io.com Received: from fnord.io.com (IDENT:ches@fnord.io.com [199.170.88.12]) by deliverator.io.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA26326 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 13:27:20 -0600 Received: from localhost (ches@localhost) by fnord.io.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with ESMTP id NAA00987 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 13:27:19 -0600 X-Authentication-Warning: fnord.io.com: ches owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 13:27:19 -0600 (EST) To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: Threads magazine In-Reply-To: <00b101bf4c51$87d04ae0$6834fea9@gunsafes> 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: RO -Poster: ches@io.com Have you tried Taunton press?

A "Gates of Hell" is an SCAism for a sideless surcoat. Tippets are garment bits that encircle one's upper arm, with a long dangly bit that hangs down off it and flutters as one moves. They are worn with dresses (cotehardies? kirtles?) with fairly tight fitting sleeves, over the sleeves. As one currently primarily involved in historic Near Eastern costuming, i don't own any of the above mentioned garments :-) Lilinah SCA'ly known as Anahita _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Wed Dec 22 19:43:40 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA11234 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 19:43:39 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA01511; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 19:08:44 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id TAA12010 for h-costume-nopost; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 19:08:40 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from smtp1.gateway.net (relay6.gateway.net [208.230.117.245]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id TAA12003 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 19:08:39 -0700 (MST) Received: from oemcomputer (1Cust158.tnt3.princess-anne.va.da.uu.net [63.23.230.158]) by smtp1.gateway.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id VAA02650 for ; Wed, 22 Dec 1999 21:08:37 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <009e01bf4ceb$3d092be0$9ee6173f@oemcomputer> From: "Joel Thompson" To: Subject: Re: H-COST: Dry Cleaning at home Date: Wed, 22 Dec 1999 21:12:59 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 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 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by net.indra.com id TAA12005 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: "Joel Thompson" Many thanks to everyone for their insights on this product.

Linda Rice -Poster: Janice Dallas Consumers' Reports liked the newer Dryel sheets. The only caveat was that the odor was perfumey, wine stains weren't completely removed, and a cotton sweater didn't lose the stains as well as silk and wool items. Apparently the product will be reformulated in March to improve it more.

Here's what Leigh has to say about costuming: Q: So many conventional period films seem to get the physicality wrong. They don't wear corsets! They don't wear corsets! So they don't have the right silhouette. The question is, "How do you make something 'contemporary' -- i.e., for us?" My own feeling is that you don't succeed in doing that by compromising, because then it's neither one thing or the other. What we've tried to do is to say, "OK, let's really go for it." And then the texture comes alive and becomes as contemporary as anything. After all, if you could take a movie camera and get into a time machine and go back there and film the reality, it would be much more alive than anything that you would achieve by half-reconstructing it. --- Elizabeth Hanes Perry Rogue Wave Software _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 23 08:13:41 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id IAA21461 for ; Thu, 23 Dec 1999 08:13:40 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA13809; Thu, 23 Dec 1999 07:38:47 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id HAA04913 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 23 Dec 1999 07:38:42 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mw1.texas.net (mw1.texas.net [206.127.30.11]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id HAA04906 for ; Thu, 23 Dec 1999 07:38:40 -0700 (MST) Received: from hotmail.com (asnet01-225.houston.texas.net [209.99.87.225]) by mw1.texas.net (2.4/2.4) with ESMTP id IAA03632 for ; Thu, 23 Dec 1999 08:38:38 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <3862325E.D4FE1EF2@hotmail.com> Date: Thu, 23 Dec 1999 08:31:58 -0600 From: Mary X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: looking for magazine 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: RO -Poster: Mary I realize this probably isnt' the correct newslist, but it is as close as I can find.

Although I don't have my resources next to me, I have a picture of an effigy of a later style Gates with tippets. I know I've seen other pictures too. I used to were this style in my youth (when it was more flattering...when any style was more flattering..than now). I never had any problem with the sleeves and the dress.

The Royal Ontario Museum has a webpage that describes some weavers still producing hand-woven fabrics for weddings in Fez, Morrocco. One of the pages shows a draw-loom on which a popular bouquet pattern is being woven; the description says that it takes a day for the weaver and his assistant to weave a meter. There is another page that shows a picture of a handloom for very wide fabrics that requires two people to operate; on this loom the weavers can produce about 3 meters per day. http://www.rom.on.ca/pub/fez/ Joan Jurancich Sacramento, CA joanj@quiknet.com _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Dec 26 18:15:36 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id SAA21524 for ; Sun, 26 Dec 1999 18:15:36 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA08867; Sun, 26 Dec 1999 17:41:00 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id RAA12076 for h-costume-nopost; Sun, 26 Dec 1999 17:39:17 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mail1.radix.net (mail1.radix.net [207.192.128.31]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA12064 for ; Sun, 26 Dec 1999 17:39:14 -0700 (MST) Received: from saltmine.radix.net (saltmine.radix.net [207.192.128.40]) by mail1.radix.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id TAA17130 for ; Sun, 26 Dec 1999 19:39:08 -0500 (EST) Date: Sun, 26 Dec 1999 19:39:05 -0500 (EST) From: Kevin & Mara Riley To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: Highlander's Short Jacket In-Reply-To: <020d01bf4fe9$54edad20$e50c97ce@JosephChristine> 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: RO -Poster: Kevin & Mara Riley The people I know who've made such a jacket use the J.

He did not know exactly what to make of it at first but after many complements on how it looked on him he decided that he really liked it. Thanks for the encouragement and for all the remarks about all types of sewing that helped me to understand that this was really possible and that I really could do this. I guess what I am trying to say is thanks for helping me to realize that there was a lot more than putting a pattern together to sewing :) Now I will go back to lurking and hearing about everyone's projects Happy Holiday Jonica _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Sun Dec 26 21:34:47 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA21643 for ;

In the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), the entry for SAMITE describes it as "A rich silk fabric worn in the Middle Ages, sometimes interwoven with gold." In the etymology of the word (which has a long history), the medieval German name literally translates as "six-threaded". As quoted in the OED, this is explained in the Encyclopedia Britannica XXIII, 210/1, to mean that it 'was so-called because the weft threads were only caught and looped at every sixth thread of the warp, lying loosely on the intermediate part.' [note from Joan] This description is of a type of satin weave if the treadling is not regular or a 5-1 twill weave if the treadling is regular; woven with fine threads, either way it would be a lovely shiny, soft fabric. I don't know what type of modern fabric would be a reasonable substitute. Crepe-backed satin is probably too stiff.

It had a horrid mouth that I couldn't live with so I put vampire teeth in it from Halloween. Then I got to dress it up in different costumes and lots of hats and it was really wonderful.

Look at the picture in the Osprey 18th Century Highlanders, page A of the colored illustrations, (# 2 shows the back) and it's very similar. So were you to take any pattern, it could be easily adapted.

I'm looking for a pattern based on any surviving Highland jackets, as there are a couple of details that are not clear from the sketch - one is where the back & side panels come together at the bottom - I'm doing them like the tail of an early coat, only shorter, but I'm not certain if this is right. The other is the turn backs of the cuffs in conjuntion with the buttoned "marine" cuff - not exactly sure how that works either, but I'll figure something out. This is my first attempt at this particular garment, and I'd like to get it right if I can - though if there are no patterns based on extant examples, I guess one interpretation of the sketches is as good as the next, at least until I can go back to Scotland and find an original to examine.

Apparently they were used also as money in that you could remove loops for that purpose. I think that if they were made of gold (as opposed to brass or some other more brittle metal), they wouldn't necessarily be that heavy. Kat Kat(June Russell) kat@grendal.rain.com Heu!

If they were metal (not hollow) they would be very heavy. Virtually identical solid gold rope chains were very popular in the 80's and early 90's amongst crack dealers and other criminal types and those who wised to emulate them. (They may still be, but I don't live where I see them anymore). I heard they sold for around $40,000, and were indeed very heavy. However, I don't think the heaviness was much of a problem. Having several pounds of gold draped over one's shoulders probably isn't any more uncomfortable than carrying a heavy shoulder bag.

Opal doublets and triplets aren't necessarily poorer quality, just a very thin piece that couldn't be used on it's own. Unless it's in a closed setting it is usually extremely obvious whether or not it's a doublet or triplet. There are many beautiful natural opals which are semi-translucent at best so, the don't buy it if you can't see through it, isn't necessarily the best policy. The exception to that is of course, a closed setting. However, when it comes to opals, price is frequently a good indication of the state it's in.

I'll be reading along, and there'll be a message from Dawn and then some little widgetty symbols, and then poof, no more digest! Since I read my costume list intermittently (ie, when I have time) its hard to say whether this has happened before or not, but here I am with some reading time, and several digests over the Christmas spread just stop dead.Its absolutely bizarre! And I can't think of any logical reason. But I have notice that its happened after "Dawn messages." Not ALL Dawn messages, so that's not the reason obviously, but it does seem to be her messages at the end of the truncated digests. It happened on #900, and #904, and #898, that I know of. Either Dawn is all-powerful... or this is weird millenium stuff at work. Did anyone get these digest fully?

Forgive me if this has been covered before, but does anyone know where I can get a man's Regency-type corset pattern? I'm in the process of taking apart and tracing off (to rebuild) a friend's corset, but some of the pieces look odd to me. Perhaps because I'm used to women's corset patterns? It's also been worn a couple of times, so I think the fabric _may_ have stretched, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

Well, yes... I went into a McDonald's on my way back from an SCA event, and was met by a PRICELESS look of amazement on the male cashier's face. Was it the spiffyness of my garb (my first Elizabethan, and rather nice if not perfect) or simply the fact that I was wearing garb instead of modern clothes? NO!!! He asked if my hips were really that big!!!!!!! Now I'm no Ally McBeal, but I'd be hard-pressed to lose more than ten pounds without looking like I needed some of it back.

Now I've no excuse not to make a mantua costume for a doll circa 1700 as January features stays and a petticoat. Embroidery is just too fabulous though--I'd like to copy it someday. Most of the fashions shown are, of course, late 1890's to early 1900's. Some feature the surviving dress plus a photograph of the original wearer in the gown. As an aside I'm going to give another start to my book or novel on the Salem Witchcraft Trials. While the mantua may have been worn by the rich and fashionable in Boston or Salem Town for Sabbath best, I've guessed from the surviving drawings of the working class during the 1680's in England, that females wore a simpler version of 1670's fashionable dress, just before it evolved into the mantua, with sometimes a steeple hat or a looped up plain gown or a "jumps" and petticoat over a shift. Do any of you list members know of or can point me towards sources that would give me information on what would have actually been worn by women and girls in Salem Village and Salem Town in 1691-93? Most books use 19th century Victorian interpretations that lean heavily towards the "Thanksgiving pilgrims" mode of dress(which isn't accurate for the Plymouth Colony, necessarily, either). _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 28 11:52:03 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA10748 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 11:52:03 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA20290; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 11:16:16 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id LAA23878 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 11:14:36 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from apollo.directcon.net (IDENT:root@apollo.directcon.net [206.170.184.6]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA23859 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 11:14:34 -0700 (MST) Received: from DNYEAQVF (r9p13.directcon.net [206.170.184.112]) by apollo.directcon.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id KAA32630 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 10:12:55 -0800 Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 10:12:55 -0800 Message-Id: <199912281812.KAA32630@apollo.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: RE: H-COST: What I got over the holidays...

I just got my copy of "Full-Color Victorian Fashions: 1870-1893" edited by Joanne Olian. Missing are any illustrations from 1883-1886 and why that might be because plates from these years didn't survive, my guess is that we consider these years' women's fashions ugly. Olian also points out in her forward to the book that the illustrated models are" seven feet tall with 10" waists" Olian also notes that it is a woman's world in these plates in which the women are always young and pretty with an equally pretty, perfectly-dressed and shining clean child as prop where necessary where the weather is always perfect( which explains why today's models have to be tall, very young, posed in perfect studios, runways or perfect weather in often exotic locals plus being practically or certainly anorexic to live up to the drawn fashion illustrations of the past.) Actually the mid 1880's bustle and drapery is so structured one couldn't tell if your butt was big or not. And it would certainly keep away the modern males who would want to pinch it! _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 28 13:14:20 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id NAA10979 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 13:14:20 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA01833; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 12:39:55 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id MAA12069 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 12:39:46 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from fepB.post.tele.dk (fepB.post.tele.dk [195.41.46.145]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id MAA12059 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 12:39:44 -0700 (MST) Received: from post12.tele.dk ([195.215.233.245]) by fepB.post.tele.dk (InterMail vM.4.01.02.00 201-229-116) with ESMTP id <19991228193942.UHZQ10100.fepB.post.tele.dk@post12.tele.dk> for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 20:39:42 +0100 Message-ID: <38691169.CD82D6C6@post12.tele.dk> Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 20:37:13 +0100 From: leif drews X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.03 [da] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: H-COST: what i got o 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 I had the most wonderfull new lacepillow that i dreamt of covered with purple velvet + 200 bobbins.

She has a lovely bustle dress with a bouquet of silk roses on her skirt ruffle, a parasol, and hat also adorned with silk roses. A friend from Atlanta surprised me with some cermanic Victorian Christmas ornaments that she made. I sent out to several friends some computerized fashion plates that I placed on a 8" X 11" oval shadowed paper. At the bottom of the oval I placed their name, Lady whatever the receiver's name was. They were very pretty and several people have framed them. I did this instead of Christmas cards. Later...

( heavy bribery of SuperBrat 2 allows me to access now via his computer - bought last year as a requirement for his studies- used for a while to play Lara Croft -but not even switched on for several months now - as said game has led to a greater interest in Laras of the non electronic kind- which (according to his flatmate) are regularly tested for rockclimbing/wolfkilling /steamswimming and other accomplishements in a seemingly never ending rota) Secondly I got my Christmas supplies delivered -ordered online of course-however I failed to realise that there was a necessary mathematical calculation to be made ie the relationship between the size of freezer capacity and the amount of frozen goods ordered. A note from my landlord- non-functional oven cannot be replaced til NewYear- and one from the council - There will be no refuse collection for twenty days- interesting variations on the same theme. Thirdly I visitted an elderly relative in hospital and while spending four hours watching him sleep managed to get a really virulent bug. As this resulted in a total inability to cook or eat or even take an interest in things festive; the problems of over supply paled somewhat. Christmas Dinner was three Lemsips Extra Strength washed down with a Benelyn Extra Strength Non Drowsy - ,a very nice little cough medecine for its year although perhaps a little cheeky in its aftertaste. On the positive side -a trip to the sale at Monsoon resulted in the acquisition of a pair of grey silk trousers in my size, which because of a small ballpoint mark on the front were reduced from £125 to £5 -- all I need now is a party invite. Sorry this is very of topic but when ones life is off-topic - well. this will soon be corrected; A Happy New Year/Centrury/ Millennium to you all Dave _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 28 15:33:24 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id PAA11183 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 15:33:19 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA18500; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 14:58:54 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id OAA13549 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 14:58:48 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo28.mx.aol.com (imo28.mx.aol.com [152.163.225.72]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id OAA13543 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 14:58:47 -0700 (MST) From: AliaClaire@aol.com Received: from AliaClaire@aol.com by imo28.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.cb9983ab (4217) for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 16:58:13 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.cb9983ab.259a8c75@aol.com> Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 16:58:13 EST Subject: Re: H-COST: 1880'S bustle To: h-costume@indra.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Windows AOL sub 45 Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: AliaClaire@aol.com In a message dated 12/28/1999 2:31:50 PM Eastern Standard Time, Cindy.Abel@creighton.edu writes: << Actually the mid 1880's bustle and drapery is so structured one couldn't tell if your butt was big or not.

I don't think I ever threw in my Halloween costume when we were talking about them, but I borrowed shirt that looked like a "peacock on acid" (it was metallic blue, purple, and black), black slacks, a black scarf in my hair covered with peacock feathers, and a tail made out of balloons. This had to be pretty heavy-duty to survive the parties I went to that weekend, and it did pretty well.

Sender: owner-h-costume@indra.com Precedence: bulk Reply-To: h-costume@indra.com Status: RO -Poster: Margo Anderson Help! I recently purchased a Wolf brand tailor's mannequin through Ebay, with the understanding that the seller would deliver it to Mailboxes Etc and I would arrange shipping from there. I called and spoke to a lovely lady at Mailboxes and was quoted what I thought was a reasonable price to ship the thing from Massechusetts to Calfornia. Well, it turns out that the Mailboxes store that the mannequin was delivered to is not the same as the one I spoke to before purchase, and the store where my mannequin is wants almost $400 to ship it! Part of the problem is that they're claiming that it's too big for UPS, which it is, if it's fully assembled. Don't these things break down, though? If I can get them to dismantle it into the body, supporting pole, and base, it should fit UPS's limits. Can anyone out there give me a reasonably clear description of how to do this so that I can send it to them? Failing that, does anyone have Wolf's phone number? The only one I can locate seems to be some years out of date.

I haven't even decided what the dress will be yet. Its a blood red and a gold in a big 15th-16th c floral pattern. I'm thinking about doing one of those Italians that are similar to houpelands and have big hanging sleeves. Arent some of those Italian Renn dresses watteau-backed? This stuff would make a perfect burgundian, but even some of the early 16th c German and Italians also use similar fabric. Decisions, decisions!

If you already know how to sew, you will be able to learn a lot about costume construction (which can be tailored more for authenticity, as opposed to theatrical construction, as you learn more about it). You will probably get to work in a variety of periods, maybe even one of your favorites, or find new favorites. Make friends with a good professional draper. They travel with their own libraries and are incredibly skilled in authentic construction. It's been 20 years, but the costume shop at ACT used to be incredible. Cheryl Odom If your feel that your sewing skills require sharpening, you can always volunteer, instead. Believe me, no one will turn you away. _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Tue Dec 28 21:15:44 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id VAA11598 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 21:15:44 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA22787; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 20:41:19 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA10683 for h-costume-nopost; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 20:39:59 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from mtiwmhc02.worldnet.att.net (mtiwmhc02.worldnet.att.net [204.127.131.37]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA10673 for ; Tue, 28 Dec 1999 20:39:57 -0700 (MST) Received: from worldnet.att.net ([63.28.166.239]) by mtiwmhc02.worldnet.att.net (InterMail v03.02.07.07 118-134) with ESMTP id <19991229033925.XERY1914@worldnet.att.net> for ; Wed, 29 Dec 1999 03:39:25 +0000 Message-ID: <386982BA.3377921B@worldnet.att.net> Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 19:40:42 -0800 From: don and carolyn richardson X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en]C-WNS5.0 (Win98; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: h-costume@indra.com Subject: Re: H-COST: sew References: 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: RO -Poster: don and carolyn richardson Caroline wrote: > > -Poster: Caroline > > Oh god, please no one flame me.

Hi Caroline, You might also want to subscribe to the Vintage list at this same server - lots of dealers from your area hang out there and could probably give you some tips.

It's very unlikely that anyone without extensive experience could be hired by any of the professional Bay Area shops. for one thing, there are only a few of them; ACT, the Opera, Berkeley Rep and San Jose Civic Light Opera are the only ones I can think of. None of them employ more than a few dozen people, and lots of those work in several different shops at different seasons. ACT does have a good shop, but it's on the small size, with room for maybe four cutters and a dozen stitchers, max. The last time I spoke with the shop manager he said they were down to a skeleton staff of three people who were only doing alterations on existing costumes: the company was deliberately choosing productions that could either be rented or pulled. So, I don't think pro theater work is a realistic place to look to learn costuming skills, at least in the SF Bay Area.

A wonderful resource for many things historical and needlework in the Bay Area is Lacis on Shattuck and Ashby in Berkeley. The owner, Katie Kliot, is one who could really help you date, repair and accessorize dresses from Victorian through the 20's. I have found her to be helpful and enthusiastic - as long as she has the time to focus on your project. She has tours and business demands that get in the way of her love of lace and historical dresses. If you call and talk to her and ask for an appointment and explain your particular project she usually can fit you in (I have found). She was very helpful several years ago when I brought her the 1911 day dress made of lawn and Irish crochet that I wanted to be married in. She helped me with appropriate mending ideas and stain removal tips, even without an appointment. I walked in and she wasn't busy and I opened up the dress and she came to me like a bee to honey. I didn't have this venue at the time, and she was a godsend. Welcome and people asking questions aren't an annoyance. I learn every day I'm on the list, even if it's to learn how little I know.

Lovely to see everybody is still here and received just what was coming to them. You lucky so-and-so's! Over in the Netherlands we have Saint Nicholas (right, he's the forerummer of Santa Claus and has been a very popular saint since the early 13th c, especially in Amsterdam and our city of Dordrecht, who both have St Nicholas churches) at the eve of december 6th, december 5 that is. We sing songs, eat traditional stuff and give each other presents accompanied by rhymes and sometimes funny wrappings, called 'surprises' (pronounced in the French way). This year, among others, Pauline gave me 5 meters of brown wool with a breadth of 70 cm, yes one ell!!! How original can you get! I was delighted and am going to make it into a very correct late 13th c lined surcotte. Last friday, a very stormy one, I went to our local market, and one of the cloth-stall-holders had his yearly sale. I bought the only piece of real wool left; a wonderful darkgreen broadcloth as smooth as the real stuff. 2.8 meters by 1.50 meters for f 14,00 which is about $ 7.00. I was over the moon. In another stall I bought 3 meters of lightbrown wool (not so 100 % wool, but pretty good looking) for my younger son's new medieval mantle for f 15,00. You can imagine I was pretty satisfied with my shopping that day and immediately celebrated with a wonderful cup of coffee in our local 'brown cafe'.

And what was the reaction? I've worn my complete 18th c. riding habit to work... on a slow day, ususally between Christmas and New Year's, when few people are in at work. My favorite combo, however, is wearing my stays (for the silhouette) under an 18th c. man's shirt, then a vest over, and my riding habit jacket... and blue jeans. Hm, maybe tomorrow... (grin) I've also been known to wear my 18th c. stays under a bulky sweater, when I have a bad case of computer-back-cramp. Helps straighten up my posture and support my back. Haven't had to do that for a while, tho, since I got a more ergonomic chair. Caveat -- _I_ can see the bustline of the corset, which looks rather odd, but apparently nobody else noticed it, since I mentioned to a co-worker that I was wearing it and she was rather surprised. Guess the sweater was bulky enough, or people just aren't very observant. I also have a few dresses based on Thora Sharptooth's Viking tunic pattern; I wear them to work fairly regularly. People compliment me on them all the time. The one I like best is made of black crushed velvet -- not terriffically period, but very elegant and comfortable.

I'll be making the body of the stays with a heavier fabric, but want to cover them with a nice blue linen. Do you sew through all the layers of fabric, or do you just sew through the 'heavy duty' fabric, then apply the decorative fabric on top? Does this corset have tape binding over the edges, or not? I can't tell from the drawing. If so, does it go over the decorative fabric, or does the decorative fabric go on top of the tape binding? b) The woman's white quilted waistcoat on p. 23 -- Is this missing a stomacher in the center, or does it simply lace together up the front? Also, under what circumstances would a woman have worn such a garment -- under a riding habit jacket, I'm guessing?

I am thinking about the following: Period Costume for Stage and Screen Medieval-1500 and/or 1500-1800 and/or 1800-1909, Jean Hunnisett Edwardian Modiste and/or Voice of Fashion, Fran Grimble Patterns for Theatrical Costumes, Katherine Holkeboer Corsets and Crinolines, Norah Waugh Patterns of Fashion 1560-1620, Janet Arnold I am rather new to historic costuming, and having browsed Ms. Arnold's book, I am thinking it may be a bit beyond my abilities right now (someday....)

Maybe it's what's left over of the hippie in me, but I'm glad we never completely returned to the "hair shorter than the collar" rule of the 50's and early 60's. Well, actually, a man in an 18th century "suit" sporting a pony tail wouldn't be bad either.

So add more fabric to the skirt. That should be simple enough. As a place to start, I think the pattern is pretty good. Naturally, I wouldn't use the angel sleeves, and the black and tan version would get a lovely black velvet or fur collar. I'd probably raise the waist too and fill out the skirt, but all in all these are very easy and simple alterations. And if you were to get this at Joann's at their Simplicity patterns for $0.99 sale, you just can't lose!

The annual Twelfth Night Ball has been moved away from the millennium festivities down to January 15, Saturday, at the James J. Hill House in St. Paul Minnesota. "Period attire and accessories are always admired, but not required." The idea is to come as Victorians dressed for a fancy dress ball in "costume" from another era or as a Theme. Actual antique clothing is not advised, since the dancing gets pretty active. A reproduction Victorian ball gown with just a mask is also acceptable. Even modern dress is fine as long as you have fun with the dancing - simple mask is highly recommended as well as dreaming up a "theme" in tune with the color of the outfit - a few fake flowers will easily turn you into "summer" for instance. (Can you tell I gave a lecture on "fancy dress" in November?) Send reservations by January 10 to Jeannie Richgels, North Star VSA, 7843 Hemingway Ave. S., Cottage Grove, Mn 55016. Costs are $25 each for non-members or $35 for new member joining. Tours will be available of the James J. Hill Mansion (run by MN Historical Society). A buffet dinner with wine is served (this is an adult event) and live musicians play for dancing. Doors open 6 pm with Grand March at 6:45. Dance instruction/ demonstration will be given for several of the dances. Singles will be able to join in since people switch partners for each dance. Silent auction and new feature called "Parlor Personalities" (this is a surprise to me too!) Since the house is owned by the Historical Society, the ball is over by 10 pm. (By the way, below 0 temps are traditional, snow optional). The mansion is at 240 Summit Avenue in St. Paul near the cathedral. Contact me if you have any questions. Last year was my first ball and I enjoyed it immensely. The chapter also hosted a ball in June for the national convention of the Victorian Society in America which was a big hit.

You can do either but it is more usual for the stitching to be hidden under the fancy fabric if you are covering them so that it doesn't show. All stays during the 18thc are bound around all the edges with tape, ribbon etc as it would be impossible to turn the tabs under to neaten them and it would be too bulky.

They are often called jumps and are worn both for warmth or for wearing without stays when doing housework etc as they are lightly boned on the seams They could be worn under anything for warmth rather than a fashion item. I'm planning to make myself a pair of these for our draughty outdoor events.

Web pages or books. Your best bet is to look at the Osprey books of the period. Whilst some of the drawings in Osprey are not strictly accurate being artistic interpretations the ones in the relevant naval and infantry ones aren't too bad. I don't have my copies here I'm afraid for exact titles as I share my uniform library with my OH and he keeps the copies in his workshop as he has more room. You can access the 18thc military webrings from my site on the uniform page which may help with your search. I also have a picture of a 1792 naval captains coat I made years ago which will give you some idea of the shape of the coats as they don't change from the 1770's until after the turn of the century when they become cut in across the front. You could also try and look at a copy of the Thin red Line by DSV & BK Fosten which is one of my bibles and the History of Uniforms of the British Army book 3 by Lawson although this is out of print I did a production of this about 10yrs ago when I was teaching at Middlesex poly so will try and see if I've got anything lurking which may help. I've moved around a bit since then so not promising but will alos rack the old brain cells dawn _________________________________________________________________ To leave this mailing list, send mail to majordomo@indra.com with the message UNSUBSCRIBE H-COSTUME From owner-h-costume@indra.com Thu Dec 30 11:53:37 1999 Return-Path: Received: from server.indra.com (server.indra.com [204.144.142.2]) by sca.uwaterloo.ca (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA01111 for ; Thu, 30 Dec 1999 11:53:37 -0500 Received: from net.indra.com (net.indra.com [204.144.142.1]) by server.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA03348; Thu, 30 Dec 1999 11:19:21 -0700 (MST) Received: by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) id LAA05414 for h-costume-nopost; Thu, 30 Dec 1999 11:19:09 -0700 (MST) X-Authentication-Warning: net.indra.com: majordom set sender to owner-h-costume using -f Received: from imo-d02.mx.aol.com (imo-d02.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.34]) by net.indra.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA05402 for ; Thu, 30 Dec 1999 11:19:07 -0700 (MST) From: MzScahlett@aol.com Received: from MzScahlett@aol.com by imo-d02.mx.aol.com (mail_out_v24.6.) id 6.0.41f8d58 (4008) for ; Thu, 30 Dec 1999 13:18:30 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <0.41f8d58.259cfbf5@aol.com> Date: Thu, 30 Dec 1999 13:18:29 EST Subject: Re: H-COST: what do I buy?

Even if your skill level is not up to the re-creation of the extant gowns/garments she writes of, her books provide an enormous source of reference material and ideas just in the reading. I've had them for a few years and am only now getting to the point where I feel I might tackle one as an actual project. Simply one of the best books for Elizabethan on the market.

My dictionary says, among many definitions: paste, n. 8. Jewelry. (a.) a brilliant, heavy glass, as strass, used for making imitation gems. (b.) an imitation gem of this material. Then, since i didn't know exactly what "strass" was: strass, n. a flint glass with a high lead content, used to imitate gemstones [from German, named after J. Strass(er), 18th -century German jeweler who invented it] If it isn't clear, it means that "strass" is a form of "paste" but not all "paste" is "strass". Hope this helps a little.

I finished the piece. It is currently exhibited at the Canadian Craft Museum in Vancouver at the exhibition 'Festive Treasures: Silver 1999'. My work "Mysterious Lace" was inspired by the first laces of the Renaissance. I based the designs on patterns from a book Le Pompe (published in Venice in 1556). All lace accessories: collar, bracelet, brooch, shoe bow & buttons, are made in a technique of plaited bobbin lace in fine silver wire. For a mask I used a very thin silver plated copper wire, and a mixture of various lace techniques worked with bobbins on a form, instead of a traditional pillow, in order to accommodate the three-dimensional shape.

My text-only newsreader shows a brief code at that point that includes a control-Z. My system may be translating that differently from what Dawn is sending, but there's definitely something being appended to at least some of her posts. My guess is that some receiving systems interpret the code in such a way as to end the post at that point. I've seen similar noncompatibility problems before, though not this particular one.

I think that the changing attitudes about dress & hairstyle have a lot to do with the gradual "casualing" of America. I live & work in Silicon Valley and part of the reason I became interested in vintage & costuming and the old-fashioned is that no one ever seems to dress up anymore! No. California is perhaps a little bit more casual than most other places but I haven't had to dress up for my job since I was an intern at a five-star Asian hotel. eans & a tee are acceptable wear for a cocktail party out here. It makes me wonder where on Earth I'm going to find the opportunity to wear a circa 1905 lawn dress (and the justification for its expense). But, I suppose, in the scheme of things, my wearing a cream linen lawn dress to work is no more strange than our IT manager's neon-painted size 46 (for a 28-inch waist) pants.... --Caroline ~~~"People do not deserve to have good writing, they are so pleased with bad." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson~~~ > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-h-costume@indra.com [mailto:owner-h-costume@indra.com]On > Behalf Of Cheryldee@aol.com > Sent: Thursday, December 30, 1999 8:33 AM > To: h-costume@indra.com > Subject: Re: H-COST: changing attitudes > > > > -Poster: Cheryldee@aol.com > > In a message dated 12/29/99 8:13:08 PM Mountain Standard Time, > matchlck@erols.com writes: > > << Also what are peoples expectations.

Pearls were the most fashionable jewellery and the people became very skilled in making fake ones. Sometimes so skilled that prospective buyers were cheated. Pepys complains in his 'Diary' about that. Glass pearls were made in the desired size, which were empty inside.

It was possibly worn like a curaco - and was worn over a skirt as a day gown.

The only one I have available in my library is that orange and green Lucretia painting, but those stripes could be sewn. I have plenty of documentation on hand for Spanish women, Italian and German men in fairly narrow even stripes, but my personal library is not that comprehensive in the Italian Renn department. Any books or on-line sources would be appreciated. I'm helping a friend make a new gown I am pretty sure we are fine with the fabric choice, but we'd like to double check. I know stripes aren't "common" for women's gowns, but I seem to remember seeing some examples in period paintings.
