[h-cost] Period Patterns #41 Italian Renaissance Gowns
I am making version V, but do not have the instructions. I am tracing out the pieces and just got to the bodice. It has the nrmal bodice shape, and then the v-neck overlaid. Can someone explain this bit to me and how it is sewn/attached? I don't want to have to buy another pattern to get instructions. If I do I'm sure the instructions will turn up! Tempting... but too costly to experiment. Cheers and thanks, Aylwen ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] shrunken wool
I would just try wetting it and reblocking it if it hasn't felted. Did you hand wash it in cold water and lay flat to dry? If so, it may be all right.

Welcome aboard! You'll find a number of 16th century/Elizabethan costumers on this list, including myself (though many are more able/prolific than I)! I too am developing an interest in the social/political conditions that led the English to colonize the Americas, mostly fueled by a recent trip to Jamestown (1607). There was a tailor among the original colonists and a number of clothing/sewing related artifacts found at the fort site (thimble, doublet buttons, even a poking stick).

Re: [h-cost] FW: Shrunken wool
I was at a vintage flea market where one booth was actually vests and mittens and caps made from vintage felted (shrunken) sweaters (if you stretch the definition of vintage to the 1980s). They made the vests from the bodies of the sweaters and the caps and mittens from the sleeves. They were soft and warm. You could take the sweater to a good dry cleaners and ask them if blocking it would help, but I'd guess that you have a retired sweater.

Unless you want a more rustic look with the wool, I'd get a pair of pantyhose or tights. They are very warm in themselves, but put your silk stockings over them and you should be quite warmunless it's like way below freezing. The modern super-stretchy tights would be very smooth and more than likely undetectable under your correct period stockings. Even if you do get some fine wool stockings, layering may be needed to keep you warm.

Re: [h-cost] white wool stockings
The best bet may be to layer stockings. You usually wear upper-class clothing, so you would want your outer stocking to look good. Is it an outdoor event or just cold indoors? The other thing to look out for with thick stockings is that they may not fit correctly with your shoes and may stretch them. For your look, you would want a fine worsted anyway, not coarse and thick. One extant stocking example in the Met in New York has had the foot removed and is hemmed around the top of the foot. They probably took out the worn portion, and there is enough that you could not tell with shoes on. They are an intricate silk knit (1790s), possibly salvaged to wear over a plain stocking. And you can be sneaky and wear a modern thermal stocking underneath! -Carol >> I am going to an event in Sweden in start of february the north of >> Sweden, where it usually is very cold for this season. >> I wondered if someone knows if a womans department in a big >> warehouse would have long knee woolen stockings wich i could wear to >> my 18th century outfit? >> >> Bjarne ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
