Good evening,
Ok, so it's almost midnight and I'm plugging away on a project that I really
don't need finished until Fall. It's what I'm in the mood for though, so
here I am, up too late and probably too tired to think clearly!
I am looking for an image, probably of a man and a women - maybe a
I found this when I did a Google search. www.blakeneymanor.com Maybe the
pictures were taken from this book:

I have
?just received copies of Fashion in Jane Austin's Time and catalogue of the new
Napolianic fashion exhibit.? Both have pics from Bon Temps and many of the
illustrations show couples as you have described. You might find your quest in
these.

I'll definitely check those out. I woke up this morning wondering if my
message was even clear at all. I always wonder when I type too late at
night. I am just looking for any images that might fit the description, NOT
trying to find the specific image from 20+ years ago. In truth, I could end
How about this one?

Wow! That certainly fits the description! The date of the image is right
at the very end of the Romantic period, depending on which period dating
system you follow, so I can use it. The description that accompanies the
image, on the Wikimedia Commons site, does not use the terms tailcoat or
Gothic fitted dress (after Robin Netherton, I believe), and the problem I'm
facing is that the neckline
for such dresses tend to be rather open. Now, the friend I'm making the dress
for is a devout-but-
moderate Muslim you'd normally see wearing a business suit (you know,

I put 1830s redingote tailcoat into google and then only looked at the images
page. It was about 6 pages in. I love the google images filter. It has come
through for me on so many projects!

Ok, hands up! Who is going to Costume-Con this year?

Are either of these the image you're thinking of?

I love wearing cotehardies. However, I sweat under my bosoms when I do wear
them.
Has anyone found a solution, costuming wise, for hiding this or stopping it
from showing through a fitted garment like a cotehardie?

I agree - I love the google images filter too. The only down side to it is
that it enables my spending hours and hours, browsing and drooling.

Thank you Robin!
You are correct about the fit, they belonged to a bustier lady than I. I
will put them on and lay down to see where to alter them. Or is there a
better way to alter them?
I wondered about lining them but the seams are all serged.

There should be no reason why you can't do a separate lining and insert it into
the dress, blind stitching around the ends of the sleeves and the neck, and
doing a separate hem for the skirt. However, if you do this, you need to
remember to do the sleeves separately and then hand stitch the

Cabbage is old term used in Elizabethan era. Modern is scrap.

Why are they scraps called cabbage? That's new to me but then I don't know
all the terms for costuming or garb technology.

Apparently, tailors, etc. could, by custom, keep any fabric leftovers that
were too small to really do much with - the pieces that were no larger than
a cabbage leaf.
Have to admit, I can't recall what documentation there may be for this
definition... :-(
