And you generally > see chemise sleeves rather than bare arms underneath. There was indeed a short-sleeved underdress style in the 15th c. that you see occasionally worn over a chemise with no overlayer. The women doing fieldwork in the TRH that Melanie points out are wearing something similar to this, but I have some hesitation about this particular picture because of the class level depicted in this dress. There are a reasonable number of images of fieldworkers, and this is the only one I've seen in which they are wearing fitted short-sleeved dresses. I suspect that they have been idealized for the purposes of creating an idyllic peasant scene for the Duke's book. Actual peasants seem more commonly to be dressed as shown elsewhere in that manuscript -- with looser gowns, and long sleeves. Still, you can probably make a short-sleeved fitted dress like this without too much problem, as there is support for it for middle- or upper-class women. However, I have never seen a woman in a medieval European image with bare arms, unless she is undressed. Use linen and lightweight wools, and you won't be as hot as you'd think. But of course it does get much hotter in many parts of the States, and when you start dealing with those 80- and 90-degree temperatures, you're going to have to make a non-period compromise to suit a non-period weather situation. (If the Middle Ages had occurred in Kansas, the clothing would have looked different.) --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

John Ringling was one of the five Ringling Brothers of the circus fame. John and Mable also were big art collectors. On my first day, we went through the Circus Museum and Cá d'Zan, the 47 room mansion of John & Mable Ringling, to decide what we wanted to photograph. The house was completed in 1925 and was the Ringlings' winter home. The first shoot was in the circus costume gallery. Most of the costumes were from the 1950s. Here is a link to one of the photos of the costumes. http://www.costumegallery.com/Library/temp/Girl045A.jpg Later that day, we did a photoshoot of the exterior of the Cá d'Zan.

This massive collection was painted in the mid-1920s on canvas in New York City. Mr. Pogany installed the paintings in 1925-26 on the ceiling of the Gameroom. I have not counted but there are about 30 very large paintings and several smaller ones of people in this room. I took 91 photos of the Carnivale ceiling. I laid flat on the floor to take the Carnivale photos. Next I photgraphed the square columns in the GameRoom. Three sides of each column were painted masks for the Carnivale. I guess, there was about 16-20 columns. The Gameroom took up a large majority of the third floor. Another ceiling was painted by Mr. Pogany, the Ballroom. The ceiling is called Dancers of the Nations. There are 22 panels of international dancers set in octagon gilded coffers. In each corner of the room was a painting of a couple doing American dances. I have the Ballroom webpages about 50% complete. I have large detailed photos of each set of dancers.

Re: [h-cost] The Lady and the Unicorn (smell)
- Original Message - From: "Robin Netherton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you like this style, I encourage you to look at other secular tapestries from the period. There are a number on hunting, winemaking, and other courtly pursuits that are full of nobles without allegorical significance. Look carefully, though, as often tapestries do tell tales of historical or mythological heroes and heroines, and it can be easy to confuse them. Also, be extremely cautious of the decoration you see on garments in tapestries--At best, they tend to be on wrong scale for that garment; most commonly, they're completely wrong for the situation/social strata of the person depicted (for example, 4" deep goldwork embroidery on the edges of the garment of a hunter, or extremely fancy embroidery on the hem of the kilted up skirt of a peasant trampling grapes). The overall style of the garment is often spot on, but the decoration on the garment is almost always "what looks good on a tapestry" rather than "how they would have actually decorated that garment." -E House ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Re: Elizabethan Epaulettes
Another simple one is to get wide gross grain ribbon, I like two inches or wider, use about a half a yard per row, per armhole (for an adult, a child's might not need as much) and usually two rows per. You'll be making loops about an inch and a half to two inches long(3 to 4 inchs total per loop plus seam allowances), start at the front and place the second loop right next to the first and work to the back where you want to stop it. For the second row I stagger it over the first, starting in the center of the first loop, adjusting the length of the loop to what looks good, sometimes the same as the first or shorter. Usually I don't cut the ribbon until I know how many loops and how long each piece is needed. Pin in place again and sew down. Tuck the raw edges inside and finish as required. This can be varied with matching ribbon or constrasting, or even two different colors in the ribbon. Because you are dealing with prefinished ribbon you don't have lots of edges to finish and the gross grain ribbon has lots of body so it will have the curl long after most fabrics have flattened out. alex On 5/1/06, Jayne Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi!

The skirt slit is the obvious indicator on this one; on others, it's the heavy jeweled hem or the headdress. But also the overall level of decoration. The maid's dress is far closer to real clothing of noblewomen, but occasional has some oddnesses (mostly in headdress). The long answer was the substance of a presentation Verna Rutz and I gave on this topic at the International Medieval Congress quite some years ago. Even if my research hadn't shown me the linkages between the lady's dress and other allegorical/fantasy images, I would have found it out just from doing the reproductions (I made a version of the Lady and one of the Maid, mostly from this very tapestry). Things like layers being in a different order on the sleeves/neckline/hem... easy enough to do in a picture, but no way to do it in real life unless you fake something. If you like this style, I encourage you to look at other secular tapestries from the period.
