Gunvor and Bjarne,
thank you so much for your ideas and that wonderful link. I am on a vacation
with not so much internet access, but the first brief look at the Norwegian
technique was just so interesting!
Happy new year everone!

Hi,
Or perhaps they used sticks? Sticks as long as the pleating was going to
be
like, you know, lye one under, then one over and so on.
This method is used for some of the headwears, that pheassant women in
Denmark used.
Done with wet water, and taken up again when dry?

I'd hazard a guess that they were made like smocking pleating...probably
basting threads were sewn at regular intervals and then pressed. Don't
know
that there is really any faking itother than using a pleater...

Subject: [h-cost] German Renaissance pleating
Hello,
has anyone ever heard of German Renaissance
pleating techniques? Textiler Hausrat mentions
sumptuary laws by which a pleated apron must not
cost more than a given price for the Felterer,
a tradesman specialised in making the pleats, and
some household inventories mention pleating
boards and irons. But how exactly would these
pleats have been made? They are so small and yet
look perfectly parallel when you look at this
picture:

I cannot believe that they were ironed one by one, do you?
How would you make these pleats, or how would you fake them for the
stage?
Best wishes,
Hanna
