Re: [h-cost] Antiques Roadshow

The Princess Di book (hate to say it); AR doesn't really seem to care much about antique fashion, at least for the parts they televise. Or the Philippines dress. Back when I went, they cherry-picked all the televised stuff from the front of the line- the very earliest comers. Don't hold you

Re: [h-cost] Antiques Roadshow

Hello Penny, I'm jelous...You getting to go to the Antique Road Show. I watch it whenever I can. Let me know how it goes. It sounds interesting. Maybe someday when it is close by in California I can attend. How does one get tickets and what is the cost if any other than plane ticket. Mary >

Comments? Thanks, Ceit To: Marche of Alderford Subject: [Alderfolk] Fashion Crisis! OK my SCAdian family...I have a book by Tom Tierney on Celtic Fashions. What I would like to know is how reputable is this source? What I am looking for is Irish Celt in the 6th Century. I really like the style

Re: [h-cost] FW: [Alderfolk] Fashion Crisis!

I'm not SCA, don't know anything about Irish Celts in the 6C except that they were there. Having said that, Tom Tierney's colors should be in a little girls bedroom, all pastels, even when pastels are not the appropriate color. From my research, his designs come from other research books or origin

Re: [h-cost] FW: [Alderfolk] Fashion Crisis!

Maybe the Victorian is ok, but the 18thC is bad. Take Tom Tierney with a huge bag of salt — if you think he did actual research for the period in question, track down the sources. The more you rely on someone else's creative efforts, the farther you get from the facts. -Carol > I'm not SCA, don

Re: [h-cost] FW: [Alderfolk] Fashion Crisis!

I think the same for the Elizabethan, Italian Renn and the medieval periods that I've seen. I have a couple just because, but I wouldn't even use them for the "let's get you in the general area and then look for better examples" type of search. They seem rather outlandish in most cases... alex w

Re: [h-cost] FW: [Alderfolk] Fashion Crisis!

I like Tom's drawings for coloring in planned styles (if he's got something close to what I want to make), and letting my daughter color in copies for fun. But for a resource? Nope, not so much, not even for 16th century fashions as he, like Norris, edits his drawings. I'd rather go to the sour

Re: [h-cost] Antiques Roadshow

I agree, the Diana stuff is probably your highest probability. I'd "vote" for the 1814 book next, myself. Have fun!!! chimene On Aug 18, 2010, at 11:12 PM, penny1a wrote: > We are going to Antiques Roadshow Saturday in DC. We have 9 am tickets. I > am so excited. We can bring four items. Is

Oh, dear! I have his Empire Fashions coloring book... I guess I should take it less seriously as a source of information. Emily Patricia Dunham wrote: I just looked up his webpage... http://www.tomtierney.com/index.htm He's in his 80's by now, majority of his career he was a fashion artist

Re: [h-cost] Who gives a damn about Scarlett's gowns?

The curtain dress and the red dress are my two favorites. Maestro Walter Plunket rarely designs a clunker, no? I love the wedding dress but you don't see much of it in the film. Of the lesser known gowns I love are the red dress she wears after she marries Frank Kennedy and writes the

Could you direct me to an online pic of this? I have come across through browsing some 1400s Italian paintings with sheer material layer over fabric of the over gown.

Once upon a time I was in the "special collections" room at FIT doing some research and there was an elderly gentleman nearby similarly involved. We left together when the library closed and we fell into conversation. I asked what he was working on. "Oh," he said, I do paper dolls." "You mean l
