Re: [h-cost] My copy of The Tudor Tailor arrived!

I received my copy two days ago, and have already thumbed through it on multiple occasions. I have to say that it is wonderful, beautifully illustrated and richly detailed. The documentation brought a smile, and I was thrilled to see so many examples of common folk clothes, as opposed

Re: [h-cost] Picture of my silk bliaut

You really have got the look, it's lovely. Some time I will take the time to read through your site with my Dutch dictionary. But I do like the picture of the dress all twisted up - it looks as if it would go through a wedding ring, like a Christening shawl was meant to do! Jean Deredere

While in Angers recently I saw a great statue of a woman wearing a bliaut. The picture I took shows the lacing on the side. Since this isn't my time period, I don't know is this is well known statue or not. If people are interested, please let me know. Nancy

I have that book and will look at it again. I have LOTS of patterns from various sources and see if I have one like it. Enlarging a book pattern: Copy it on a xerox. Draw a grid on it to make an enlarging system. Measure something such as the front seam of a bodice- write it down on the copy. I

I just got back from DC. This has nothing to do with costume, but there is a Grant Wood exhibit at the Renwick Gallery... diagonally across the street from the White House. It's not a big all day thing, so if you have an hour or so, see if you can catch it. It's full of wonderful
