Re: [h-cost] Cheap? wool and linen (off-list)
also, this is a bit of a boast, and I will not be able to give the name of the store (i am going to go back on sat, and i just know where it is) but I found a bunch of 60 inch wide linen in fairly light weights for 3.50 (plus 8 5/8th % sales tax). I think I am going to buy a variity about $400 snip I cant remember all the colors, but if anyone wants to pay me for shipping, i would be willing to look for thier color. jordana If they've got a navy blue linen, I'd be interested in up to 10 yards.

Lining fabric, was Re: [h-cost] Re: Fitting Issues (and linen prices)
Lack of a linen undergarment will less comfortable. If she is very insistent on not wearing a chemise, use lightweight linen in the appropriate color to line the gown. Satin is a fairly tight weave and generally does not breathe all that well, whether it is silk or not, so I would not use satin for the lining.

The future MIL has made her choice and really liked the Florentine -(http://www.siue.edu/COSTUMES/PLATE23AX.HTML) - so we are going with that, but with wide sleeves and a hair style like the woman's on the left. Burgundy in a jacquard over a solid dark (navy) blue, and the sleeves lined with a lightweight burgundy color. Adding a chemise is out of the question as she was balking at two layers. Any ideas what would be a good lining fabric - I was thinking of a light weight satin (if there is such a thing). Thanks again, Annette M Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2005 11:28:31 -0700 (PDT) From: Kahlara [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [h-cost] Fitting issues My future MIL wants a period dress for the wedding too. She is 5'-2 and wears a man's 2x shirt. Due to fibromyalgia she will not wear anything very fitted, a belt, or anything else that will create any pressure or tension, especially on her lower back. She also detests anything that might accentuate the bust. But I don't want to make her look like she is wearing a tent either. The period is 14th - 15th century. Her dress does not have to be historically accurate, just look the part. I was thinking a houppelande would do well with most of these requirements. I haven't really studied them as to fit so I don't know just how fitted they might be over the bust and waist. I wonder if making it less so will create a tent-like appearance. Or perhaps a basic chemise and tunic type dress with side lacing so that it can be gathered in a bit, but not snugly. This picture from a series of German prints also gave me some ideas. The woman on the right, but simplified. http://www.siue.edu/COSTUMES/PLATE23AX.HTML Any suggestions or ideas?

See if you can find the original inspiration for that plate. The fabrics might be a little more drapey in the original. And the sleeve poofs can of course be faked...realistically by actually making up the little sleeve bits and lacing them all together over a full very light linen [or something like it] undersleeve all set into the gown's armseye together. Add a bit of fake chemise neckline to the gown's neckline and it will looks greatlike she's wearing a chemise. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

If you were meaning the over-gown...the Jacquard...you needn't line it if it's a real Jacquard. The wrong side will look fine. Just do french seams and maybe bind the outer edges with the self fabric. Of course if it needs some body, line it with some light crisp linen. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
