Re: [h-cost] 17th century beaded bodice
Hi Debbie, Gosh this must be an unknown bodice to us! I have never seen or heard of it before. Also beading and feather pattern, is very interresting, and pink two. My guess is that it looks similar to the pale blue bodice of the London museum. It is a joy to all of us, that events like this still is happening, to fill out the gashes of mystery. Yesterday i was at an antique fair in Copenhagen (huge one) and found a german costume book, wich i never have seen before. Its from 1919, and even that the black and white pictures are lousy, they are very valuable to me.There is a drawing in it of the caraco jacket in Köhlers book, both the front and the back, and a striped redingote with huge buttons from the late years, and and Most of the costumes, are german from collektions wich dont excist any more. The eldest garment is a mans italian renaissance doublet, with multi puffed sleaves. I never saw that either, it is mid 16th century and the book claims it is a mixture of the italian and spanish fashion. Title of the book is Kostümkunde für samler. Thanks for posting this, i would die to se a picture of that bodice, and i hope it will be sold to a museum, so that we shall get more informations of it.

You did better than I did. I couldn't find either the folder or the bulletin board. I just registered for the site too. Waiting to get confirmation.

Re: [h-cost] 17th century beaded bodice
Re this bodice that may (or not be 17th C...) I just entered the picselect site that someone reports as a visual source for look-see and also did not see a reference for the picture we are interested in. Since this seems to be a film outlet, my suspicion is that this bodice is someone's fantasy. I too have never seen bugles' and 'feathers' as a design feature for this period.

Re: [h-cost] 17th century beaded bodice
The bodice is not a fantasy, since we have a government press release saying it has been held back from export (I don't believe everything the government tells us, but I don't think press officers make things up that are so far from the headlines). Since the owner is not identified, I would guess it is from a private collection and may never have been displayed or referenced. The picselect site seems to belong to the Press Association, so maybe they just put pictures up for a short time while they are current.

Re: [h-cost] 17th century beaded bodice
Thanks for the quick replies everyone! I'm fascinated that there may be this newly found piece out there somewhere that might add clues as to construction and technique. Makes me think of a Costume College I went to and Sally Queen was teaching. She said something akin to the fact that every time she made a new discovery about costumes that it felt like Christmas! I so agree! : D I hope that if this is the real thing, it turns up where we can see pictures of it ...(hopefully yummy close-up ones) -Debbie Callahan ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
