Kind of depends on what you are doing this for. Scottish, Irish? How accurate are you trying to be? Also, there is no absolute evidence for how they were made....
There are several decent starting summaries online, but depending on what you are doing this for, you may want to do your own research. Here are a few. http://www.kelthaven.org/leine/<http://www.kelthaven.org/leine/> http://www.albanach.org/leine.html<http://www.albanach.org/leine.html> Sg ----- Original Message ----- From: Maureen Conklin<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 09, 2007 6:58 AM Subject: [h-cost] leine question Hi everyone, I'm making my first attempt at 16th century Irish dress. Can anyone tell me how big the wrist openings on a leine are supposed to be? I don't want to do the phony drawstring-on-top sleeves, but I'd like to be able to roll them up if I need to (it's a hot-weather event). Is a drawstring at the wrist opening acceptable? Thanks. ~ M. ================== ~ Twinkle, dammit! ~ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume<http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume> _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
