http://www.randyasplund.com/browse/medieval/chausse1.html Scroll down to the first of the last two pictures. These are not as loose as the previous. Similar to a previously presented print. http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net/library/Semiramis.gif De -Original Message- Only the Shadow knows... OK, actually the Shadow doesn't know either. Nobody knows. But it seems unlikely that menstruation would have had a big effect on braies-wearing, since they wouldn't have been snug enough to keep anything in place. Immediately before modern adhesive pads came into use, a belt-and-pad arrangement was the norm-- it's possible that Medieval women had something similar. -- Adele de Maisieres - Habeo metrum - musicamque, hominem meam.

I don't know about the tudor-portraits.com site but this site: http://www.marileecody.com/images.html is my favorite for pictures of a lot of Tudor era people.

Re: [h-cost] comfort vs. fashion
You would prefer stockings and a garter belt? Well, I don't recall that stockings and a light panty girdle were much worse to wear and were easier to put on. But it's not a question of stockings vs. pantihose - there are many ways to cloth the body without either one.

Oh my gosh--having to hook the stockings to the little tabs--ugh! And managing the whole assemblage in the restroom. . . . I confess, I don't wear hose most of the summer, but do prefer them now that fall is here. I don't wear pants very often, and I do like something covering my feet when I'm wearing shoes other than sandals, and socks look pretty silly on a woman of a certain age, especially in an office.

Re: [h-cost] middle ages: braies for women?
Melanie, Late Iron age.. basically contemporaneous with Late Roman Empire. The best in English about these is in Hald, Margrethe. Ancient Danish Textiles from Bogs and Burials: A Comparative Study of Costume and Iron Age Textiles. [Copenhagen]: National Museum of Denmark, 1980. ISBN: 8748003123 OCLC: 8081458 pp. 328-335. Thorsberg and Daetgen photos and drawings. The original find (from Schlabow): Moorleichenfund von Dätgen bei Nortorf, Kr. Rendsburg, 1906 - Kleidungsstucke. If you wish to read the German text from Schlabow, I can send it to you. There just isn't a lot of pants extant from archaeology... male or female... but then there aren't many dresses either.

[h-cost] Old and Interesting site
I found this site and thought some of you might enjoy it too. http://www.oldandinteresting.com/default.aspx Tons of neat stuff on early domestic chores, tools and methods, especially laundry. Mostly 18th, 19th and early 20th century stuff, but some earlier references here and there. ::Linda:: ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
RE: [h-cost] wool for fulling
Is there a quick and easy way to know whether a wool fabric is a good candidate for fulling? My experiments so far have had wildly different results (the one which I bought marked 100% wool -a suiting- shrank almost not at all), the other was a blanket from Value Village (which I did the burn test on the sly in the store) shrank about the equivalent of my knitting with a worsted yarn.

Re: [h-cost] speedy 18th century headwear
Hi everyone, thanks for the advice, I went shopping on Friday and ended up finding a cheap felt tricorn hat from a 'dollar store' type shop so I decided as the theme was pirates I would use it instead of investing time experimenting with a cap, I did achieve big hair but let it down later in the night as the weight was giving me a headache. I only got one photo of the completed ensemble, you can see it here http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1095/1389185881_2bae00cb28.jpg (unfortunately my hair came out looking darker than it does in real life and blended in with the hat so it's hard to see the effect of my big hair) 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
