Re: [h-cost] RE: Elizabethan Gowns - to train or not to train
Sabine That's for the site, it was interesting to see how you tackled various elements. Most of the gown I have worked out, such as the bodice and sleeve rolls that I drafted and made into a simpler gown. -the way I did the sleeve rolls was to make them a roll around the arm but included a diamond shaped gusset under the arm that was hand sewn to the bodice - much as you would in the smock underarm seam. This allows the rolls to sit off the points of the shoulder as seen in the original portrait. I have found that the sleeves and partlet underneath need to be "laced" together to keep everything together, and also the rolled sleeves is lined with linen that onto either linen or velvet- my two trial sleeve types create a kind of velcro to help hold the rolls up where they need to be. This version of the gown isn't intended to be an exact replica, since I plan to couch gold cord knots on velvet guards interspersed with embroidered, appliqued symbols of friends and family. I'm just trying to figure out if I should do the train - which I don't have trouble walking in - my thought there is that the train will show off the embroidery work. It's not like this is going to be an everyday event gown. But then again, would I get more use of the gown without the train? And just how likely was this style of gown to have had the train... will have to look through the books tonight thanks again alex On 8/5/07, Naergilien - Sabine Pothmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have already made the 'Pelican' portrait gown; see > my site here: > http://www.naergilien.info/pelicandiary/index.htm >-) > > Best wishes, > Sabine > > ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Headwear to go with Gothic Fitted Dresses
Not really. We do medieval and Ren music from England, Italy, France, and Spain, so it's more of a general look we're aiming for. Just nothing that covers the ears though.
