Re: [h-cost] gauging for gathers?

[Elizabeth Jones]

I can't think of any Elizabethan images that show pleats as small as
those in mid 19th century skirts (which is the context in which I have
previously heard the term gauging) Cartridge pleats are one of the
types of pleats used but judging by portraits I wouldn't put in pleats
any smaller than 1 inch wide (i.e.I mean 1 inch as the section showing
on top of the pleat not the total amount of fabric taken up by the
pleat) for an Elizabethan skirt.

[h-cost] gauging for gathers?

[Marjorie Wilser]

Just curious. . . I don’t have a good Elizabethan book to hand.

In period, is gauging/gathering appropriate for a skirt?  Many thanks! I can do 
it. . . but little tucks are easier. :)

Re: [h-cost] Visit to Italy

[Katy Bishop]

I have fond memories of the Stibbert decades agowalking past cabinets
crammed with costumes during our tour. It was a hidden gem.  The Pitti was
closed for renovation when I was there. I wish I could sneak into her
suitcase.

Thanks!

In addition to what others have said, in Florence check out the Pitti
Palace - they have the Medici burial garments, and others:

http://www.sbas.fi.it/english/musei/costume/default.asp

http://archiviomedici.costume-textiles.com

Not a museum, but Alice's Masks do beautiful, beautiful work:

http://www.alicemasks.com/home.htm

The Stibbert Museum also has a selection of costumes, including some of
Napoleon's coronation garments: http://museostibbert.it/en/page/costumes

Have fun, and I envy you the opportunity to go to Venice as well! Museo
Fortuny all the way!

Also, for shopping (which includes a lot of art, fabric, and jewelry
stores, in part catering to the conservation efforts of local museums), get

Re: [h-cost] Searching for pattern

[Paula Praxis]

Dear Aylwen,

 Have you found the 2 patterns you are looking for?

 

   I have both of them.  The pannier pattern has been cut & used but all sizes 
(8-14) are there.

The gown has not been used and is still factory folded.

 

   I can let you borrow them for free.  I am a costumer for our local high 
school in Santa Clarita, California, (just north of Los Angeles) so I really do 
want to get them back.

 

Please contact me if you still need these,

Paula Soltero

Re: [h-cost] friend going to Italy

[Sharon Collier]

There is a FABULOUS trim shop in Florence. They actually have 2 locations,
at least they did in 2002, when I went. Passamaneria Toscana, Piazza San
Lorenzo,12r, is the original store (since the 1950's).

I have a friend who is travelling to Italy next month, to Florence, Balzano,
Rome and Genoa, with a very brief visit to Venice and Naples too.

Doas anyone have any suggestions of museums or shopping for
costume/textile/lace related things not to miss?

I'm working on my wish list of what she should look for for me--living

In Bolzano, DO NOT MISS the Ice Man. You can see all his clothing and
accessories. 5000 year old stitches!

I recommend arriving first thing in the morning to avoid crowds.

In Venice, everything is wonderful. I enjoyed the Palazzo Fortuny, which was
once the home of Mariano Fortuny, and is now a museum. There's a Fortuny
store as well, although not at the Palazzo.
I wanted to go to the island of Burano, for the lace, but didn't have time.
It is a beautiful place to visit.
