I was reading some website somewhere (probably a dress diary) and the writer suggested that Tudor gowns may have had the sleeves attached directly to the...
True! It may have had something to do with the weight of the sleeves as they became more and more massive. Can you imagine the gapping caused by a five pound...
I'm not sure if I wrote that question right, but I did upload a picture of what I mean, it's under "files." Given your answer about the sleeves weighing so...
If the gown has no shoulder straps then the sleeves (obviously) cannot be attached to the gown on top of the shoulder by means of ties. What type of sleeves ...
Greetings All. I cannot find my copy of Fashion in the Age of the Black Prince. My sewing room is a pretty scarey place, so it wouldn't suprise me if it was...
Well, I know I borrowed that book once upon a time, but I am sure I returned it. I also seem to have misplaced a book. The Tudor Tailor. I know I lent it to...
Hey, I finally figured out a way for my stuart cap to stay on. I pinned it to my snood, strangely enough, I believe that's how it's supposed to be done....
That's funny. Were you wearing it with jeans and other casual wear? Elegant ladies hats have mostly gone out of fashion in our time unless you are British...
I always have trouble keeping the snood on. Do you use lots of pins? I still don't know what I'm going to wear on Sat. I guess it depends on how far I get...
Yes, I was wearing the cap, snood and veil with jeans and a sweater. I once went to the famous races in England (brain not working for name) the one from "My...
It's Ascot isn't it? I think that is what the song says "...Ascot opening day..." Will the garb Nazis be present? Late 14th is about as late as my garb gets...
That's right! The Royal Ascot, thanks, it was driving me nuttier than usual. The last time I went I wore an 11th century gown, so I think you'll be fine. You...
It was lovely to see the ladies at the Winter Feast! After spending the evening in a corset, I'm considering donning my 11th century in stretch velvet (I know...
Frieda - Take a look at the picture in the French photo folder - she has on a rather flat hat, not sure if it's what you were thinking about making. Cate...
Did you know that the french hood was tied on under the chin with a very narrow strap? I wondered how they stayed on. Has anyone made a french hood? I've...
I am thinking about making a new gown so I was looking in the photo albums. In the cotehardies one there is what is called a "weydan split skirt cote" which...

Rogier van der Weydan is the artist. He painted between 1430's and 1450's. This is the site that I found the painting at: http://www.uvm.edu/~hag/sca/15th/,...
This is another painting of the same hat - I assume the dress is similar as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Braque_Family_Triptych_right_panel_W ...
Are the sleeves a contrasting color or on an underdress? And the skirt is slightly confusing to me. Are there two underskirts? Because there is definitely...
I couldn't get that link to work but what is up with that hat? I have never seen one like it. The uvm.edu site says the underdress has a "deep fur border"...
I would guess that the burgundy jacquard sleeves are a separate piece. It almost looks like the yellow underdress goes across the shoulders in the back, while...
