I looked thru the Met's online info, and couldn't find the base. Can you offer guidance? ----- Original Message ----- From: WickedFrau<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Historical Costume<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 3:11 PM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Organ pipe pleats
I'm not sure if you want organ pipe pleating or rolled pleats documentation, but if it is the former, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has a military base which is organ pipe pleated (Early 16th century). Blanche Paynes "History of Costume" has a discussion and a pattern for it. I've spent some time looking for an earlier word for them, but have not come up with it in English or German. The English word only goes back to to about 1890. The current German word Röhrenfalten doesn't appear in Grimm's etemological dictionary. I have queried both Leo online forums (back in March 05) and non-current German forum (just today): If you find anything, I'd sure like to hear about it.
