Subject: [h-cost] Renaissance costume
Dear all,
I am sorry for the confusion, i have joined the list again.
This is because i have had an order from Gammel Estrup, whom i made the
danish courtdress. They want me to make 2 renaissance costumes (late period
1614).
I am going to make these after 2 portraits, of a coupple who owned the place
back then.
On monday ill make a good scan of the portraits for you to see, i am sure
that i am going to need a lot of help from you experts, its manny years ago
i made renaissance, and my knolledge about theperiod is very limited.
The female costume is as far as i can see, without any farthingale, and
quite simple, with long narrow sleaves in black, bodice black, and overskirt
black. The only collour is the underskirt wich is red and black with gold
lace on it. The collar is a standing one, with a lace in the edge.
The mans portrait is rather dark and its difficult to see clearly but i
suppose its trunkhoses doublet and a cloak with a small ruff round the neck,
both persons have white cuffs edged with lace. The female has a coiff
embroidered with pearls and edged with lace.
So you are going to have me here for a while, i am looking forwards to all
the help i can get from you...........
Manny greetings
Bjarne in Denmark.
