Wow! What an interesting observation! I too have horses and just
recently bought a new one just so I could dress her and myself up! My
other horses are all Quarter horses, and they just don't suit my
costuming tastes. I had a side saddle made about 10 years ago for this
purpose also, but
As you will be able to quickly tell, the only thing costume related
about this dish is it's nameof course, there too, there is something
lacking. This is an old Dutch recipe of lima green beans. I just
think the name is hilarious, and was wondering if any of you might know
how far back
My mare is an Andalusian/Arab cross and I am about ready to breed her to
a full Andalusian. I am not able to afford the current pure Andy
breed, this is the closest I will be able to come. My dream is to be
able to make many different costumes to ride her with. (I want an

Well, um, no, not really. 200 years ago, almost true in the US (but there

Lovely site, Melanie. Your costumes are all wonderful. [Hey...why skip the
18th century?]
Your ruff instructions are great too. I especially like your use of items
just about anybody can get a hold of! Have you seen Jean Honnisette's ruff
instructions? She starches

Hi,
I made one of those big mill stone ruffs years back, but that was before i
had the pleassure of being educated by all the knolledged people on this
list. I cut it in the theater cut, with large cirkles with a hole in the
middle for the neck.
I sewed together all the cirkles 6 in all first,
I personally like to starch after it's constructed, then the starch doesn't
break down when being handled and I can shape the ruff the way I like.

And even worse, it collapsed few weeks later while exhibited in a cold damp
room of an old manor house.
What a shame. All that work for naught. Did you get a picture before it
melted?

Hi Anne,
Yes i did, but only a small paper photo, i tryed to make it better and
bigger on a computer, with not a good result.
I made it to be worn with a purple dupioni silk wheelfarthingale dress i had
made with a lot of pearl embroidery on the sleaves and stomacher. Its only

That is cruel! There is a William Morris fabric in that lot that would be
perfect for my bedroom drapes. I only need twenty yards and it only runs
$110.00 a yard. Now if I ever win the lottery I know where to look for my
fabric.

One of my ruffs is made from silk organza, and lace, it was pretty stiff
before I starched it. It is actually easier to work with IMHO than
something soft and flimsy
Having done it both ways I prefer something with substance.

I have made several ruffs using both before and after starching methods. I
find if I prep the fabric by starching it and ironing it first, I get a
much better result when I start the pleating. Its a method I read about in
Jean Hunniset's Stage to screen.
While I am not a scholar on the subject,
I also have a copy of Sofonisba Anguissola - First Great women Artist of
the Renaissance which is the English translation of:
Sofonisba Anguissola - Femme Peintre de La Renaissance by Ilya Sandra
Perlingieri Liana Levi Editeur, Paris (1992) pp.223, ills..
Has anyone seen the one by Flavio
If you put an extra layer on the inside of the ruff neckband, you can take
that off to wash and sew on again more easily.
