http://sayaespanola.glittersweet.com/main.htm Scroll down, just thought it owuld be nice to show a comparisson between it and other examples of Spanish fashion. I found it via the virtual tour on the museum site it is actually on. In the virtual tour it was an amzing magenta colour, which is why we must always be careful about colour unless one has seen an item in person. In outdoor light.. which let's face it is not going to happen very often;) If it's familiar, it appears in black and white in Patterns of Fashion with different attribution. As for jewellery, I've had to cobble mine from various sources (brass filigree diamonds cut down and layered with other finding for brooches and two plaque belts for the girdle and carcanet: http://costumes.glittersweet.com/sca/valois.htm Amount of trim, I always guesstimate, I know my measurements pretty well now to say for this example: two limes waist to floor, plus 10cm extra just in case, 3m hem is usual, four times arm length, four times neck to waist plus extra for the horizontal arm guards. I think the wider trim is composed of narrow braid which is used also for the tabs. michaela de bruce http://glittersweet.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
