Re: [h-cost] (no subject)
It is not actually a head covering. It is worn under a veil, sort of a swathe of fabric, covering the throat (and sometimes the base of the chin.) It was worn in Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries, generally by married women. It then became part of the habit of some orders of nuns - those that were founded at that time - which is what many modern people think about when they hear the term. (Orders usually based their habits on the ordinary clothing of a matron or widow of their time.) Now - it seems quite possible that the author *meant* the veil, not the wimple... which would itself indicate just how trustworthy this is as a source... The veil is the part that covers the head. They are two different pieces, even when worn together, sometimes of two different fabrics. (The veil is worn without the wimple in many periods - the wimple is not generally worn without the veil, which may cause the confusion.) Veils were worn by many women in many cultures. Ancient Greek and Roman women usually wore something over their heads when they went out in public... it's not just a Judeo/Christian thing.

Re: [h-cost] (no subject)
Sounds like a tremendous load of cr34 to me. Unlike Cin, I do read the Bible and there's nothing remotely suggesting anything like a wimple; only advice for women praying to cover their heads in modesty. Cover can mean almost anything. Sounds as if the authors were manufacturing facts out of silly putty. ==Marjorie Wilser @..@ @..@ @..@ Three Toad Press http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Mar 23, 2012, at 11:03 AM, Laurie Taylor wrote: Greetings all, I've been mulling this bit of trivia around in my head for the longest time.

Re: [h-cost] (no subject)
I think sometimes we try to apply too much "they did this because" to fashion. Can't something be worn because its thought to be becoming and fashionable in its time? Just look at how necklines go up and down. Why is it OK to have an open neckline in 1500 but not in 1600? Why do skirts go from being OK to show ankles in the 1830's to dresses being floor length again in the 1860's? Why wear tall cone shaped hats in the 1400's? Why the tall hairstyles in the 1700's? Why the large drum shape skirts in the 1600's and a bustle shape in the late 19th century. Its simply all because the fashions changed. People tweeked what was being worn until it got to the point where it looked like something else. Perhaps something was being done and the daring new fashion was to do it the opposite way.

Good evening, Well, I don't know which costuming list first brought this image to my attention, but the time has come...I have to make this chemise. Someone else had inquired about the bodice in this picture, but the chemise just really hooked me. http://exhibits.denverartmuseum.org/artisansandkings/?page_id=23 The painting is by Titian and the title is Woman with a Mirror, at least on wga.hu. I'd have used that link instead of this, but the WGA links don't seem to work for getting directly to images. Fortunately, there seem to be plenty of photos of this painting all over the 'net. As to why I'm rambling on about this image here, on h-costume, I'm debating the pattern for this chemise. I'm thinking that this should be no more complicated than the Elizabethan chemise shown here, http://www.elizabethancostume.net/cheminst.html, even though this picture is considerably earlier than Elizabethan, but I thought I'd seek other opinions on the matter. I have, for my first attempt at this chemise, a very sheer, cotton crinkle. It certainly isn't period, but I think that it would give the look of the chemise in the image. I also have a silk set aside for this, for a second version. The chemise in the painting seems unlikely to have a drawstring neckline. Any thoughts on this?

I cannot find the link or the pdf that I might have made from that page. Does anyone know to which web article I am referring, and if so, where I might find it again?

Re: [h-cost] (no subject)
I found the smaller brass drapery rings from Warm & Natural window batting, but my local Joanns store that carried them discontinued those items this past year. I am not sure where to suggest online, but maybe that brand name might help in your search. And you can use the smaller cable ties. That's what I have in my fitted Tudor kirtle. The key is to have them go across the front of the bodice in channels just a little larger than the boning you use so they can slip in. I've seen the wider & thicker duct ties in the air conditioning areas of the major home improvement stores. They are really long, too... since they go around the much larger a/c metal duct tubes. I personally prefer the thinner cable ties, but each person has their own preferences. Hth, and have fun with the project!

I am not sure of the split skirt for this time... You might get a copy of Fran Gimble's fashions for the Gilded Age. It has a great deal of info and pattern shapes suitable for the period and the cost for the book is comparable to the pattern you are contemplating. Your size seems to be of the ordinary so that you could use any fitted bodice and/or skirt and duplicate any of the shapes in this book. I have used it a lot with some pleasant success.

However, I want to shorten the skirt and remove the train, and let the main dress be split up the front to where it starts to button. I’ll wear an underskirt underneath it. Should I break down and buy a Truly Victorian pattern or something else like that? I’m 5’3” 32-26-35, corseted, and this dress looks a bit big for me. Not that resizing scares me, it’s just that the design of the pattern looks harder to get smaller by just fitting it down. Thanks!

I’m gearing up to make a new dress, and was wondering if anybody on here has made up the 1878 dress from Janet Arnold’s Pattern of Fashion 2. (ha – rhetorical question – I’m sure somebody has!) I’m got a general idea of what I want out of the dress, and this seems to be closest to what I want. However, I want to shorten the skirt and remove the train, and let the main dress be split up the front to where it starts to button. I’ll wear an underskirt underneath it. Should I break down and buy a Truly Victorian pattern or something else like that? I’m 5’3” 32-26-35, corseted, and this dress looks a bit big for me.

-Original Message- > > I don't need an insurance inventory, fortunately! Well, everybody might need to claim insurance some day. My in-laws' house burned down in the firestorm in the East Bay some years ago, and it turned out their policy required listing every single item they wanted to claim, down to the skillets and the towels--along with current values. I'm well aware how much work that is, because I did most of it. I'd like to second that. I learned that hard lesson after the San Diego fires in 2003. The insurance company expected us to list each and every item we'd lost AND give them an idea of what they were worth. They also wanted to see the burned carcasses or photos of same. They had a hard time believing $1000 for a tent and hundreds for period camping furniture. Fortunately the books weren't touched.

Dress Dummy ... Re: [h-cost] (no subject)
sorry about the lack of subject. Hopefully it's fixed now. Quoting "Susan B. Farmer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I got a dressmaker's dummy for Christmas (WooHoo!) It's a Uniquely You off of eBay. :-) And she's just my size. :-) I'm wondering about how compressible that they are. Will she squish down indefinately with a corset? Say, should I have one that fits, and then lace her into it to *that* place because on her it will tighten far more than it does on me? I even wondered about making a couple of different shells -- say one for the appropriate level of "squished-ness" for an Italian -- because I generally don't wear a corset with those.

I recently finished an embroidery project using reeled silk. What with my nasty rough hands and putting it into and out of the work bag I can certainly understand covering up all but the part being worked. The bag is gorgeous but snags like crazy. I keep it in a plastic food bag before putting it into my work bag. I'm afraid to wear it because it snags so easily. Julie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> H, you have my curiosity up.

Since there has been discussion about the sometimes lack of historical accuracy in movie costumes I thought this was interesting. Found it on eBay - something from an old B & W movie. Thought it might be good for a grin. http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7538331810&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 Annette M __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I think the fashion for piling stuff on your hat came later than the Renaissance. For straw hats, just a simple hatband would be appropriate.
