Hi Laurie,
A quick google didn't turn up much but I did find this:
da Monticello, Catarina [Joyce Cottrell] "Since You Ask: Hill &
Bucknell Patterns for the 16th Century." Compleat Anachronist 40,
1988.
Which led me, eventually, digging under the bed!, to Compleat
Anachronists #38, 39 AND 40 which are titled "Costume Studies I-III,
Articles from 'Seams like old times'". OK, they do dissect ALL the
patterns that are SCA period, 1066-1595, and give sources where they
were able to figure them out (including things like "yes, all these
types of decor were available at this time, but never before seen all
together in one outfit!")

PS. I've had a bee for years about doing this for Norris, but
haven't started yet, 8-) Well, I take that back, I did do a paper
once (Elf Hill Times #... good grief, #5, Jan 1979!), on shirts, for
which I used Norris as a base, but did document all the sources...
that paper's about half-way to the internet, 8-). At least Norris'
patterns are somewhat period-like, and his drawings don't distort
much (compared to H&B), although after 30+ years of experience with
costume books, I can now see the 1880s-1920's in his drawings!
Especially faces. Oh well, that was also the period of the birth of
archaeology and the Victorian Medieval revival, definitely SCA
sources!!!
Hi,
Have you heard of anyone having cross-reference the re-drawings in Hill &
Bucknell's The Evolution of Fashion to the original artwork from which the
re-drawings were taken?
I know that the original artwork would not look like the re-drawings in
terms of background and pose, but would still love to have them for my class
discussion on primary and secondary sources. I may get lucky and stumble
across some of these, but some will be more difficult or impossible without
a possible starting point.
I'm good at passing hours and hours looking at images on-line, so I will
find some of them, but if I don't have to re-invent the wheel, that would be
lovely.
