[h-cost] Searching for pattern
Does anyone here have a copy of Simplicity 3635 and 3637 (size 8-14) they no longer need that I can buy or that I can borrow for personal use? Its the blue 18th Century gown and panniers.

[h-cost] friend going to Italy
I have a friend who is travelling to Italy next month, to Florence, Balzano, Rome and Genoa, with a very brief visit to Venice and Naples too. Doas anyone have any suggestions of museums or shopping for costume/textile/lace related things not to miss? I'm working on my wish list of what she should look for for me--living vicariously through my friend's travel...

Re: [h-cost] friend going to Italy
In Bolzano, DO NOT MISS the Ice Man. You can see all his clothing and accessories. 5000 year old stitches! South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology http://www.iceman.it/ I recommend arriving first thing in the morning to avoid crowds. In Venice, everything is wonderful. I enjoyed the Palazzo Fortuny, which was once the home of Mariano Fortuny, and is now a museum. There's a Fortuny store as well, although not at the Palazzo. I wanted to go to the island of Burano, for the lace, but didn't have time. It is a beautiful place to visit.

Re: [h-cost] friend going to Italy
There is a FABULOUS trim shop in Florence. They actually have 2 locations, at least they did in 2002, when I went. Passamaneria Toscana, Piazza San Lorenzo,12r, is the original store (since the 1950's).

Re: [h-cost] Searching for pattern
Dear Aylwen, Have you found the 2 patterns you are looking for? I have both of them. The pannier pattern has been cut used but all sizes (8-14) are there. The gown has not been used and is still factory folded. I can let you borrow them for free. I am a costumer for our local high school in Santa Clarita, California, (just north of Los Angeles) so I really do want to get them back. Please contact me if you still need these, Paula Soltero praxis_...@hotmail.com From: aylwe...@gmail.com Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 22:39:32 +1100 To: h-cost...@indra.com Subject: [h-cost] Searching for pattern Does anyone here have a copy of Simplicity 3635 and 3637 (size 8-14) they no longer need that I can buy or that I can borrow for personal use?

Re: [h-cost] Visit to Italy
I have fond memories of the Stibbert decades agowalking past cabinets crammed with costumes during our tour. It was a hidden gem. The Pitti was closed for renovation when I was there. I wish I could sneak into her suitcase. Thanks! On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 6:42 PM, A.

[h-cost] gauging for gathers?
Just curious. . . I don’t have a good Elizabethan book to hand. In period, is gauging/gathering appropriate for a skirt? Many thanks! I can do it. . . but little tucks are easier. :) ==Marjorie Wilser ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] gauging for gathers?
I can't think of any Elizabethan images that show pleats as small as those in mid 19th century skirts (which is the context in which I have previously heard the term gauging) Cartridge pleats are one of the types of pleats used but judging by portraits I wouldn't put in pleats any smaller than 1 inch wide (i.e.I mean 1 inch as the section showing on top of the pleat not the total amount of fabric taken up by the pleat) for an Elizabethan skirt.
