Re: [h-cost] silk jersey knit
ProbablyI don't do gentleman's clothing (or 18th century, although I dream of some day having a gown or two), but I'd think that the silk knit would do fine. I know that, during the period about which I know the most (16th c. England), there were both knitted and woven-cloth hose, so if I were going to use something like silk jersey, I'd probably base them on extant examples. You might have to play with bits of it, to test for stretch, etc. Silk's not the most resilient of fibers, and I've never had any that was knitted as fine as a jersey, so I don't know how the non-stretchy silk and the stretchy knit construction would interact around your ankles, etc. I'm determined to make myself a pair of "Eleanor" stockings some day, and I haven't been in a yarn store, yet, that hasn't tried to talk me out of doing 100% silk--most recommend a blend, without understanding the whole recreationist thing --Sue in wintery Montana, where she's given up on Spring, and *bought* herself a pot of blooming crocus this afternoon - Original Message - From: "Bjarne og Leif Drews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2007 12:06 PM Subject: [h-cost] silk jersey knit > Hi, > Found out James Hare has silk jersey and i wondered do you think i could sew > gentlemens stockings from this? > 18th century? > > Bjarne ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Hi Anna You can properly get these books on ILL Duck and Cabbage Tree (1967) later re issued as Clothes in Australia. By Cedric Flower. Pub. Kangaroo Press 1984 Costume in Australia By Marion Fletcher. Pub Oxford University Press 1984 I think this is the book that has a list of clothing provided to the convicts, both male and female Sorry book not to hand for checking. Breeches and Bustles An illustrated history of clothes worn in Australia 1788-1914 By Elizabeth Scandrett. Pub. Pioneer Design Studio 1988 Hatches Matches and Dispatches. By Rowena Clark. National Gallery of Victoria 1987 This has a nice picture of a wedding gown approx. 1789 that went out of England (not white it would do for day dress design) The Remote Garrison. The British army in Australia. By Peter Stanley. Pub. Kangaroo Press 1986. I can't recall if the marines are shown in this book. I don't have it to hand at the moment to check. The Dress of the British Sailor. By Admiral Sir Gerald Dickens. Pub National Maritime Museum 1957 A small paper back with pictures for sailor costume of 1737 1750 1790 1795 1798 and 1799 Australian Costume 1788-1988 For Teen Dolls. By Marjory Fainges. Pub Kangaroo Press 1987. I have included this for any one who has time to dress Barbie and Ken as a memento of the production. I hope this helps. Lots of luck with the production. Regards Joy Oh, indeed, that's tremendously helpful. I've ILL'ed them all, hopefully they won't take ten years to get here. Thanks to everybody who's responded to this. My plan for the marines is to chop up a bunch of red wool blazers and modify them so they're pretty and redcoatty. I've got a navy-type coat, and some fall-front navy pants, for our midshipman. I've also got an 18th century-ish dress and a corsetty-thing which I plan to dye. Whoever used to be in charge of costume was not really big on the historical accuracy thing, but I mean to change that. The overall costume design is due March 12th, and the one thing I don't have a fixed idea about is the aborigine. Does anyone know any books or othe resources about the aborigines in general that would have helpful information or pictures? Much thanks, Anna -- From Her Royal Majesty, Anna Zola Piggie Rethie, Queen of Cheese ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

If you mean the second edition of Gale Owen-Crocker's "Dress in Anglo-Saxon England", I agree! You won't be disappointed. I had the 1st edition when I bought my copy of the second edition of the book, and the 2d edition has so much more information, it almost seems like a totally different book.
