The Regency Fashion Plates series by Foster and Perry presents several views of short sleeve over long sleeves...reprints of Ackermans, la belle Assemblee and such And I think I saw this style in Hunniford's Period Fashion as a variation of sleeves.________________________________________ From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Hope Greenberg [h...@uvm.edu] Sent: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 10:25 PM To: h-costume@mail.indra.com Subject: [h-cost] Stumped
Here's a request: The dilemma: I making a garden variety early 19th century bib/apron dress of a cotton print. Of course, I have too little fabric so instead of a long sleeve I decided to do a short sleeve with a detachable undersleeve in white cotton voile. I went flipping through my collection of hundreds of images looking for an example. (Note, this is an 1812 or thereabouts gown, not the turn of the century type where a colored bodice and white sleeve is common, nor the Princess Charlotte "russian" dress that looks like our American jumper.) Lo and behold I cannot find an image of this combination. This, the staple of all JA films! Lots of short sleeves with long gloves, lots of short sleeves over undersleeves of the same fabric. Does anyone have an actual documented example? Thanks! - Hope hope.greenb...@uvm.edu _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
