Hello,
has anyone ever seen a ruff that really had the stitching along the
outer edge to keep the "8"s in shape? "Period Costume for Stage and
Screen" even suggests embellishing the ruff with beads on top of
these stitches, but I feel they are just a theatrical neccessity as
the ruffs are not properly starched and must keep their shapes in
nylon material.
Or is there evidence that these stitches would have been used as a
decorative feature as well and that they are documentable?
Thank you,
Hanna
