Re: [h-cost] Pockets...
Hi Cynthia, I'm sorry but I'm having memory issues these days. My meds are really making merry hell with it. I do know that this tidbit has come up on this list before, so rather than depending a memory that better resembles swiss cheese at the moment, you would better off searching the archives. I do know that this is a huge undertaking but I'm not sure what else to suggest. It is driving me nuts because I do know it is Anne Boleyn, and it was a Court Document - and it was one that costumers normally dig into... I feel like it is on the tip of my tongue sort of thing... Spanish Ambassadorial letters? Hmmm, I will keep thinking about it but I'm sorry I can't be more help at the moment. I'll ask my apprentice and see if she remembers, I seem to remember talking to her about it. Cheers, Danielle At 12:56 PM 9/20/2011, you wrote: Danielle, This is very cool. Did you have anymore stray thoughts about where you might have seen or read this? For many of us early sorts, pockets can be a mild obsession. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 12:26 AM, Danielle Nunn-Weinberg gilshal...@comcast.net wrote: Well, they were in use in the 16th century, I can't remember the exact reference off the top of my head but there is a court mention of Anne Boleyn using pockets but it is the only one I know of, of women in England using them that early. Might have been part of her trial? Sorry, my memory is going. Cheers, Danielle ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] Reed Homestead update: VCR tapes, sacques, and ghostly happenings
I asked our director about use of the term VCR (she had to look it up as the transcripts predate her). Yup -- Video Cassette Recorder. Nancy Rexford was recorded on video as well as on cassette tape; the transcript was pulled from the tape. Before I provide the link to some photos I took today... I must respectfully ask a favor. I don't have permission from the board to disseminate images of Historical Society property. If you choose to view these (really bad) photos, please do so with the understanding that they are not to be shared in any form whatsoever. If you feel you can not abide by my request, please do not open the link. Thank you. www.flickr.com/photos/workroombuttons/sets/72157627724105088/detail And one more time... our film debut! http://video.syfy.com/shows/ghosthunters/v1353267 -Dede O'Hair ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Joan, we have men's shirts, as well, and they are very different from these. These garments are smaller, and well... more feminine (?). They are open all the way down the front, with a neck closure. It's clear that I'm not an expert. --- On Wed, 9/21/11, Joan Jurancich joa...@surewest.net wrote: From: Joan Jurancich joa...@surewest.net Subject: Re: [h-cost] Reed Homestead update: VCR tapes, sacques, and ghostly happenings To: Historical Costume h-cost...@indra.com Date: Wednesday, September 21, 2011, 11:10 PM Dede, Thanks for posting those photos. They look like men's shirts/chemises to me (the ones in the pictures look too short for women's shifts); I would not call any of them sacques (I associate that word with something other than body linens/underwear). Just from the styles, my guess would be late 18th through mid-19th century. I hope the Historical Society can publish some pictures/diagrams of them with whatever provenance is available; I'd be interested in buying something like that. Please keep us informed.

It's also possible that they are children's clothes rather than women's. At 08:30 PM 9/21/2011, you wrote: Joan, we have men's shirts, as well, and they are very different from these.
