Hello all, I have just updated my website dealing with renaissance spanish women's garb. Recently I came across several new images of extant garments and found new URLs to some older links, which I hadn't yet uploaded... oops;) http://sayaespanola.glittersweet.com/extant.htm
I'm trusting the provenance for the Isabel de valois and Isabel Clara Eugenia gowns are well established, but they do seem genuine if altered. The Isabel de Valois (red) is particularly inspiring for me as I have just made a new jerkin in red and am thinking of finishing the skirt and adding sleeves and embroidering the heck out of them all;)! Also of course I now am just itching to get to Spain as well as Germany to seek all these hidden treasures. I also came across many new portraits which I'll slowly add to my site as I go. If you are curious I have already posted them to my costuming journal: http://pinkdiamond.livejournal.com (if anyone happens to come across this in an h-cost mail archive it will be around the 28th Feb-1st March 2007.) Several of these are Dutch and it is tempting to add yet another setion to my site;) Michaela de Bruce http://costumes.glittersweet.com _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
