Greetings to the list from a lurker. My husband is in the process of making mid-16th century Flemish garb and has the following questions he's asked me to post to the list.
1) In Breughel "The Peasant's Wedding," ( http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/bruegel/wedding.jpg) the shirt tails of the fellows in the red doublets are out and the point holes are empty (difficult to see in the above link). Still the laces can be seen hanging below the shirt. Did the shirt also have point holes to which the tights were fastened? 2) Are sleeve seams under the arm? That's the way they appear to me. Or down the back? 3) Was the usual peasant's jerkin cut short? If longer, how much longer (from the waist)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Baroness Isabeau _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
