Re: [h-cost] Robe or train???
In our experience, this definition feels closest: Robes are a long, loose or flowing gown or outer garment worn by men or women as ceremonial dress, an official vestment, or garb of office. Robes in the context of your photos, and modern Mardi Gras, is sort of a generic term for a complete set of ceremonial clothing. We agree with otsisto's definitions that train refers to any part of a set of Robes that trails behind the wearer on the ground. It may detach, or not. It may depend from the shoulders or the waist. In our opinion the picture shows ceremonial robes that include trains. Our frame of reference is considerably older than the 19thC: as we know it, a mantle refers to a specific kind of cloak, which could easily be part of a set of ceremonial robes. hope this helps, chimene On Feb 10, 2011, at 1:58 AM, penn...@costumegallery.com penn...@costumegallery.com wrote: I feel so silly asking this question. I am working on photos of coronation costume photos for Mardi Gras. I am looking for the correct term to use for the detachable train (?) worn by the king and queen. You may view the questionable piece here: http://www.costumegallery.com/MardiGras/2010/Mobile/Museum/Queen1/P1100236me d.jpg I have checked my costume dictionaries and the train definition seems to fit better than robe. I have heard it called both ways. What the correct word to use?

Re: [h-cost] Robe or train???
One interesting tidbit from the show was when the new queen went for a fitting and discovered how much hardware she had to wear to carry the weight of the fabric. It was a quite interesting documentary. --Charlene On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 12:27 PM, Charlene Charette charlene...@gmail.com wrote: It's The Order of Myths and is available via Netflix streaming. http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The-Order-of-Myths/70084136?trkid=438403#height1659 --Charlene On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 11:42 PM, penn...@costumegallery.com wrote: Thank you Charlene.
