Re: [h-cost] Upcoming book
Well, Medieval Garments Reconstructed: Norse Clothing Patterns is still listed as October, too. That is so not going to happen.

Re: [h-cost] suggestions/help to recreate the Luthers
It looks like the frazzled frau website is images only - no articles or dress diaries that I can find. Are there any other resources online that would at least give me the different layers/pieces to the von Bora dress?

Re: [h-cost] suggestions/help to recreate the Luthers
Hi, I found some dress diaries in German - don´t know if the descriptions are helpful at all, but maybe you agree with their interpretations of the layers... http://www.in-nova-corpora.ch/naehstube/ren_bora_text.htm http://www.die-alte-schneiderei.de/renaissance002.htm For the skirt closure - could it be that it is hidden somewhere between the folds in the front? Somewhere in the Tudor Tailor is a mention of pregnant women wearing aprons in order to hide the gap in their dresses, could that have been done in Gemany as well? Luther´s hat seems to be like a Tudor flat cap with the brim slashed and fold down in the back and sides. I think you can get a similar effect with a hat like this one http://www.lynnmcmasters.com/myllancover.html but without any stiffening in the crown. It could also be a coif with a flat cap on it, a bit like this Gelehrtenhaube. http://www.kunibert.com/shop/rubriken.php?kopfrubrik=Mittelalt.%20Gewandunganzahl=24anf=0tope=25control=1PHPSESSID=2a0ae798c0c16282f9fceb00b95354bf And please don´t believe all German Medieval shops are that awful... ;-) Hanna At 18:16 27.08.2010, you wrote: It looks like the frazzled frau website is images only - no articles or dress diaries that I can find.

[h-cost] Name of horned 14th century headdress?
I am listening to Alison Weir's biography of Katherine Sywnford. She mentions that Anne of Bohemia (future wife of Richard II) introduced the horned headdress to England at the time. I don't have the actual book but the word sounds like moonatire??? Anyone know what the word is?

Re: [h-cost] Name of horned 14th century headdress?
It could be a form of minotaur? See the last illustration on this page: http://www.mainlesson.com/display.php?author=abbottbook=richard2story=anne Extremely Victorian drawing style! and apparently from a Victorian era children's history book. A couple really look like bull's horns, and my subconscious eventually popped the minotaur connection! That's all I've been able to come up with so far. Oh, the book appears to be: Mistress of the monarchy : the life of Katherine Swynford, Duchess of Lancaster / Alison Weir. My Public Library's copy is out, or I'd look it up in the text...
