[h-cost] Hardewick Hall Portrait forepart replica?
I'm trying to locate a photograph of a stunning replica of the forepart from Queen Elizabeth I's Hardewick Hall portrait. I could have sworn it was in the Tudor Tailor, but I can't find it there. A Google search didn't find it either. Has my book lost a page? Am I using the wrong search words? Did I dream it? Help!

[h-cost] Need Ruff Making Advice
A first for me, I am making a ruff. I read the ruff advice area on Drea's website, but am confused if it is better to cartridge pleat or just gather pleats in groups. Is there a good site with illustrations about how to make the ruff? My son and I are making an anime costume http://www.geocities.com/eyesofaclown/images/Perriot.JPG . Does anyone have advice on how to attach the ruffles to the band. I followed the ruff calculator on Drea's site and put in the measurements as follows: ruff depth: 5 inches width of each sett: 2 inches ruff height: 4 inches Will the ruff height at the band be 4 inches? If not, how high will it be at the neckband? Will it fan to 4 inches at the outer edge? I am also looking for advice on starching a ruff. Many thanks in advance.

Re: [h-cost] Need Ruff Making Advice
My son and I are making an anime costume http://www.geocities.com/eyesofaclown/images/Perriot.JPG . Does anyone have advice on how to attach the ruffles to the band. The one in your image looks similar to cartridge pleating. To stiffen it, start with something already a little stiff and double it over. Two layers are stiffer than one is, and the folded outer edge takes care of any hem issues. For a costume ruff you might even use one thickness of stiff non-woven interfacing. I like to use several yards of the selvedge of something for my ruffs - not exactly correct, but neater at the outside edge than any hem I can do. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- “The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.” -William Gibson -- ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Need Ruff Making Advice
Franchesca, So would the pleats that attaches to the band, be 1-2 deep?

Getting the right weight line is the thing. **Download the AOL Classifieds Toolbar for local deals at your fingertips.

Re: [h-cost] Need Ruff Making Advice
Iy msy be on a band or attached directly to the neckline of a high necked shirt/tunic thingy. The fabric does need to be very stiff to stand out like that. Ironing before stitching can create those knife-sharp creases.
