Subject: RE: [h-cost] looking for pictures of bum rolls
I wear a bumroll with my Ren Faire costume and it doesn't stick out as far
as in that painting. Also, the style of the clothing (especially the very
long pointed fronts) is from the late 1500's, when wheel farthingales were
worn. Bumrolls, worn alone, were earlier.
but if you made one as large as this
http://www.geocities.com/technically_naked/grueso8.jpg it would stick out
that far. What is your evidence for bumrolls worn alone prior to last decade
or two of the 16th century? Prior to the fashion for the 'body on a platter'
look a set of petticoats or a Spanish Farthingale would be all the skirt
support I would suspect.
