Re: [h-cost] Ruff - was Bjarne's dilemma
I have a photo i took at the museum some time ago, i could post it if you want, but it is a portrait wich hangs very high up, so the angle of the photo is not good, but it gives you an idea. The princes outfit is like a small adult with hat and feathers. Its red and slashed. Anyway just posted the pic for you to see. http://www.my-drewscostumes.dk/sophie.htm Bjarne - Original Message - From: Suzi Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Historical Costume [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 4:49 PM Subject: [h-cost] Ruff - was Bjarne's dilemma At 15:43 09/03/2006, you wrote: Three months?

RE: [h-cost] Ruff - was Bjarne's dilemma
Looking at the ruff, it may be that the painter just made up the ruff pattern, so it kind of looked like the real ruff. Remember, it's a painting, not a photo, and there is probably a bit of creative license. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Suzi Clarke Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 7:50 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Ruff - was Bjarne's dilemma At 15:43 09/03/2006, you wrote: Three months?

RE: [h-cost] Ruff - was Bjarne's dilemma
Looking at this ruff I actually see three layers. One big outer layer, then two ruched together so that one fills the top arches of the large ruff and the other fills the bottom. Of course, all the layers may actually be the same size and you get the rather heart shape of the inner layers as they become bunched within the outer one. Ow! My brain hurts. I can't wait to see what you do with this one Bjarne! Regina What a complicated ruff! I've never seen anything like that. I am trying really hard to work it out.
