Nicole, Check out this web site for a very nice lady's Tudor made with commercial patterns: http://photos.ladybrooke.com/sca/gowns/velvetgown/gettingstarted.htm Here's a page for reenactors, though it looks like mostly peasant stuff: http://freespace.virgin.net/f.lea/index.htm Listmember Dawn has some simple and easy patterns which may be useful to you: http://www.reddawn.net/costume/patterns.htm And she also has a list of commercial costume patterns with reviews of each. One or two of these are pretty good for men's Tudor, if made in the right fabrics: http://www.reddawn.net/costume/costpat.htm Check out eBay for out-of-print patterns. Hope this helps. Tea Rose P.S. I LOVE your Madam Scarlet pictures! ============================================ Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 22:05:26 +0000 From: "Nicole Kipar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [h-cost] Tudor costumes for "dummies"? Help for a theatrical group
Can anyone, please pleae please point me into the right direction of where to start getting a really good feel for Tudor period costumes and, most importantly, which patterns could be adapted (I have Margo Anderson's Lady's wardrobe and Man's wardrobe) and if I can even use some commercial big companies patterns, because those are usually quite easy.
