Some help http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/portrait.asp?LinkID=mp54600&rNo=2&role=sit
The best I can do in getting the portrait that Cornelius Ketel painted. http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0300083807/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-4894048-4326327 #reader-link If you copy this you will definitely want the shirt to be linen. I don't think that MF would be wearing the full ruff while working. The off-white doublet looks satin but it is not the same "satin" as modern satin. Might substitute the satin for polished cotton. The jerkin looks to be leather. Recommend these patterns for assistance if needed. http://www.margospatterns.com/mainframe.htm http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/patterns/elizabethan.html Good luck, De _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
