Re: [h-cost] Dress with rickrack lace on concluded ebay auction
Fran, I just googled Piecework rick-rack and found three volumes of Weldons Needlework that might give you the resources for your project.

The rickrack medallions seem to be held in the center by some kind of simple embroidery or needle lace stitch.

[h-cost] Victorian Costume by Ruth Buck ?
Victorian Costume - and Costume Accessories (ISBN:0903585170) Buck, Ruth. Another book I'm considering purchasing... does anyone have this or know if the contents are worth it? It's an older title so I'm not sure if the photos are going to be that good. Dawn ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Organ pipe pleats
Sure, until I find it in my backed up pictures, you can get a hold of these books; Payne, Blanche. *History of Costume - From the Ancient Egyptians to the Twentieth Century* (1965). Harper Row, USA. This book is rather odd. It has no ISBN number. The copyright on mine is 1965, but I cannot tell what edition it is. It has a Library of Congress Cataloge card number 65-10419. It is critical to get the right version as some versions do not have the patterns in the back. In my particular edition there is a BW photo of a surviving base (fig. 288, pg 272) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Arms Armor Collection. It also has a to-scale pattern draft in the back of the book, with notes. Another good base picture can be found in: Davenport, Millia, The Book of Costume (1948), Crown Publishers, New York. My edition is a two volume series, second printing. On page 159, figure 450 is a quilted gold brocade Waffenrock which supposedly belonged to Maximilian. This one is photo'd (IMO) inside out so you can see the tapings on the inside. The gowns which have this type of pleating were sometimes called falten (pleated) or wappen Roeke (oe = umlauted o). Wappen can mean a few things depending on the time and place (weapon or coat of arms), sometimes it is spelled waffen. So again in IMO they were probably copied from the style used in the military bases. Sg * * * * Nancy Kiel wrote: I looked thru the Met's online info, and couldn't find the base.

[h-cost] Blanche Paynes book with patterns
I would be very greatfull if anybody could tell me a little more of these patterns. Some years ago i photocopyed some patterns from a book at the library, and just wondered if these are from the book of Blanche Payne. There is the cut of the wool mantua and a pattern of an 18th century dress made in silk faille, jacket and skirt. Also the cut of Frederik V's, wedding suit also a francaise dress and there are photos of the actual garments. Just in case that i didnt need to buy the book, i am only interrested in the patterns, if i dont have them already.

There is also a line drawing of the Danish Mantua (please forgive me, I'm away from my computor and so can't spell the correct name.) The patterns at the bottom are numbered then lettered.

Re: [h-cost] Blanche Paynes book with patterns
Sounds about right. Mine has 43 different patterns...if that helps and indeed there is a pattern for the wedding suit of King Frederick of Denmark (1743) and a Gold Embroidered Wool Dress c1690. Looks like it could be a mantua, but isn't called one directly. Sg The patterns at the bottom are numbered then lettered.
