Sigh. I love authenticity, AND I love clothing that borrows beautiful
elements from the past, AND I am plagued by a syncretistic sense of
humor that, for instance, prompts me to imagine making a lovely robe
a la française out of a nice lissere fabric patterned with...scottie
dogs. The key is to keep them separate, and wear them where appropriate.
However, just FYI, my Lady, when I went to your Web site, none of the
navigation links seemed to work for me -- I could not get into any of
your sections.

I love it as well and I also construct and for a lot less expense.
I have one under construction right now. Can be seen at http://
www.wildthangstreasures.com under adult section. I am undecided as
to the trim. I considered hand painting the design but if I can
find just the right trim, I may not paint but right now it's
paint. I have a lovely flowing swirl that I will use either way.

Interesting, that you liked it. It made my eyes bleed, and the
authenticity-nut part of me back up hissing and spitting. I was
also pretty
taken aback by the price (starting at 350 pounds??? Wowser!).
I guess our respective mileages are varying greatly on this one,
huh? ;oD

Subject: [h-cost] Re: gores in skirt in late Middle ages???
Gores in various configurations were used to widen skirts from the
early
middle ages on (it's an early step in the evolution of tailoring),
but the
use of a contrast gore for stylish effect is not really
documentable for
this period (I think there is some use of this technique in the 19th
century, but I'm not sure).
It looks really nifty, however. Makes me wish it *was*
documentable...
