[h-cost] Medieval garb for nursing mothers
Hello :o ) I am very glad to meet you. I am fairly new to the list, a recent American immigrant to Australia, Susie White. I have had intense urges to sew costumes for as long as I can remember, and having recently joined the SCA, my interest in historical accuracy has zoomed lol I have had reason to comb the net lately for medieval references, and remember seeing something about nursing attire on Margo Anderson's site (www.margospatterns.com) under "Future Releases". She has introduced a package of patterns called, "The Elizabethan Comfort Patterns" which are based on the Janet Arnold Kirtle and Gown from _Patterns Of Fashion_. There are directions for maternity hemlines and breast feeding openings, something I remember well ;o ) lol having had two children, myself. Don't know if this sort of resource is your bailiwick or not, but is the only thing I've found recently. I do wish you well, _and_ plenty of rest!!! Remember to take care of Mom, Nancy :o ) Thank you all so very much for all the information you share so freely, and to the creators of the list... Brilliant!!! Absolutely Brilliant!!! :o ) Susie -Original Message- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 12:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [h-cost] medieval garb for nursing mothers Are there any on-line sites about medieval garb for nursing mothers?

Re: [h-cost] medieval garb for nursing mothers
A friend of mine swore by sideless surcoats. She'd slit the neckline of the undertunic, making flaps which velcro'd closed. When baby fussed, she would open the flap, and discretely nurse under the surcoat. Arlys ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] medieval garb for nursing mothers
Not that I know of, although discussions about same do come up on some of the medieval lists that I'm on. Discussions seem to center around the easiest ways to modify historical clothing (e.g., where/how to place a neck slit in an earlier-period tunic or shift lacing lines), or which styles most easily morph into nursing-friendly clothing (like those 16th century surcoats with the slits over the chest). --sue [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are there any on-line sites about medieval garb for nursing mothers?
