Anyway I have never seen anything about a drawstring that is Medieval or
Renaissance. As a matter of fact something I read said it was the result of
the
"I need 100 chemises fast" mindset of the original Ren Faires. The chemises
I have seen--- and this is only in paintings, mind you-- show no indication
of a drawstring in the neck-- either a high neckline or low neckline.
Can anyone help me on this? My professor friend has said she found a
reference in "several books" but is more than willing to look at what I find
, and change her lecture, as necessary. We both hate the idea of
disseminating incorrect information to students.
I've certainly never seen evidence for drawstring necklines, and I've
had a pretty good look around.
