Dear group for our next event de slag om grolle ( battle of grolle). We are looking for groups of performers who are able to perform as civiel towns people not...
Ok, after having laid out my pattern on mock up material, I realized the wool I have will not be enough..I looked to see if people have matching sleeves on all...
What garment exactly are you trying to make and how much wool do you have? We may be able to come up with a way to 'stretch' it. Peronel ... From: Madeleine...

It was images of Ovid's Metamorphoses that turned up, although it may be the images I am thinking of were very early 16th century. I originally found them here...
I've got a copy of all the images from that manuscript (BNF fr 874, Ovidus, Heroides) that show females, and though a lot of the clothing shown is the real...
well, I have 4 1/4 yd.s of wool and the dress is the tied front version on pg. 64, but I ended up making the bodice front out of black wool and the rest of the...
My guess would be that if they are saying it is in the collection of the Earl of Yarborough, it would be the current one (There can be only one...;-) ). That...
On your first image request, I have a color copy that I found on the net. http://www.kimiko1.com/research-16th/FrenchHood/1500/ MaryCharlesBrandon.html It...
Hi, Unless it has been moved, this should still be in the National Gallery in London. I vaguely recall seeing a pamphlet about it, but I could be wrong on...
Hi, Catherine -- I just searched the National Gallery in London ollection online and didn't see any Charles Brandon OR Mary Tudor. Then I took a shot and...
Yes I seem to remember it being in the National gallery also. As is, from memory, the Ambassadors (the painting with the distorted skull) .I was almost...
I believe this is one of the historical portrait wall paintings in the Houses of Parliament. There is a whole series of them; they are Victorian, but many are...
I may be losing my mind, but I think somewhere I read that the Tudor/Elizabethan period that everyday gowns were shorter by a few inches.. and I looked through...
... Length is likely a bit of a class issue. The less funtional & more decorative your clothing was, the less you were concerned about getting your hems dirty...
Hello I am hoping you all can help me find a gown from this time period, from the last years of Mary Queen of Scots, a french gown between 1560 to 1563. It...
I've tracked the portrait down to Strawberry Hill, presumably in London. If anyone on the list is in commuting distance, I hope they can go poke around! I...
Oops, I should have specified--I mean Strawberry Hill as in Walpole's residence, not just the area: http://www.friendsofstrawberryhill.org/ . He bought the...
Hi, Park & Kimiko -- Thanks for the Earl's phone number! And Kimiko, that giant-size image of the painting is perfect. I'll keep investigating and when/if...
Ok. The kirtle I made has short fitted sleeves in matching fabric, not long ones. I would go with a contrasting fabric, personally. Depending on the time...
... from Lord Granville in March of 1763, and several mentions over time seem to indicate it's still there. I think I'll email them to try to find out! ... Um...
Elizabeth/Exstock/Shelley/Dean/ and all -- Thank you all so much for the sleuthing. Since the Wedding portrait isn't on the National Gallery's website, I'm...
The painting may very well still be in private hands and only seen "on loan" in galleries etc. This would explain why it has been so hard to track down. It...
Having just gone through a ren-faire that rained, and hence was quite muddy, shorten the skirt to where you want it. While I love my trained French gown, and...
Thanks for the reply..I have just been re-thinking my persona and even though in the SCA you are all considered gentry, I don't want to bother with the court...
There is an often cited drawing by Holbein of a women of gentry or upper class with her skirts held up using a long cord. It is the drawing where you can see...
I finally had a minute to do some book research. Roy Strong in "Tudor and Jacobean Portraits" says that "Versions are at Woburn Abbey (ex Strawberry Hill);...
Wanted to share this, as I just noticed the color image in my new book (the one that's just been released this month). The wedding portrait is in the latest...
