Re: [h-cost] 17th Century German Paper Doll
Thought some of you might get a kick out of
this.

(I have a vague recollection it might have been posted before, if so, my
apologies.)
It is a fragment from a woodcut print. It is water colored. On the back
there has been a pair of templates attached, not the original backside.
Some years ago I saw this in a book about toys, and had not been able to
track it down because the book didn't say where it was from. Thank you so
much.

Sorry, this there is only a black and white copy on Bildindex. You never know, if you contact the museum, you might be able to get a color copy.

Re: [h-cost] Is this wool flannel appropriate for any costuming uses?
I've been meaning to this for awhile. I would certainly be interested in seeing your counts. I was at Birka (Sweden) a week ago and they had a dark blue worsted twill fabric sample (and a handwoven bolt reproduced.. that could be handled) that was fine. They said that it was quite common in the finds. Have you looked at Lise Bender Jorgensen's North European Textiles Until AD 1000 ? Beth Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 09:36:15 -0500 From: E House [EMAIL PROTECTED] For what it's worth, I recently did a thread count comparison between the counts given in Medieval Textiles and Woven into the Earth, and some common types of modern wool (including gabardine). To my surprise, even the normal-to-coarse modern wools that should have been comparable based on text descriptions were FAR finer (like 2-3 times the thread count) than even the extant textiles that were described as being extremely fine. If anyone is interested in more detail, I'll look around for the notebook that has my preliminary notes and post 'em here. Long story short, though, go for the coarser woolens if you want a really authentic-looking fabric, at least for pre ~1475, and for early period vikingish stuff, try to find a coarse worsted. (Woolens didn't get hip until what, around 12thC-13thC? sorry, posting without my references.) -E House (Loves the fine worsteds far too much to give them up. Besides, I haven't gotten thread counts for the early 16thC yet. Maybe things were different then! Anyone have any references?) ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

[h-cost] metalic organza, for a pleated frill
Hello everyone, I'm planning to make-over my French Hood (I used Drea Aleed's 1533 pattern http://www.elizabethancostume.net/headwear/fhoodmake.html#patterns) and although I'm pretty happy with the overall shape of the hood it really needs an under-cap to be more authentic. The Tudor Tailor book recommends metallic organza to make the pleated frill you see at the front of French hoods. I've found this silk/copper organza http://www.trimfabric.com/k-648.html and I wanted to check that this is the same as the 'metallic organza' mentioned in the book. Otherwise Thai silks has a metallic silk organza http://www.thaisilks.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=PRODStore_Code=TSProduct_Code=005L which is cheaper but it's 80% 'metal' without specifying what the metal is (and the photo isn't as good so I'm not sure about the overall look). Would the higher metal content mean that it holds the pleats better or would it make it too fragile? If anybody has experimented with pleating metallic organza, which would you recommend for a finely pleated frill? (for an idea of how finely pleated, this http://formetoknow.myphotoalbum.com/view_photo.php?full=1set_albumName=album02id=boleyn1 is the portrait the shape of the hood is based on, you can see the golden coloured frill sticking out from underneath her hood. thanks Elizabeth Elizabeth Walpole Canberra Australia ewalpole[at]tpg.com.au http://au.geocities.com/amiperiodornot/ ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
