I'm not on the 18cWoman list, but if anyone else is, please feel free to crosspost.

The hair would be attached to the strings, with threads on one rod and the other taking up the work. The woman in the painting is adding a strand of something, so obviously not weaving hair but a similar technique. I'm more curious about the woman who appears to be knitting something lace on two needles. She has them in that "50s housewife" position with the ends up. Overall I find it a rather amusing image with those supported lace collars and keeping their hands busy with work. Have you posted the question on the 18cWoman list? People there have done more in-depth research of the period and may be able to show more sources for the use of that loom. -Carol ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Dating a couple garments
Sylvia, Dolmans were also popular in the 50's. On sweaters - short waisted, fitted to the bust, no buttons. Blouses - many styles. Coats - cropped and fitted like the sweaters and loose and swinging at hip or full length.
