Re: [h-cost] Re: 17th Century French hunting dress
Hi Tea Rose. The skirt is full all the way round. There is not any over and underskirt. A very small bumroll round the waist, would improve the look. Skirt would probably be cartridge pleated to a waistband where the fullness is most from hips to center back.

I have another question, though. How is the skirt constructed for this period? Does the fullness still go in the back, like in Elizabethan times? I suppose I could borrow Patterns of Fashion or something. ::Looks hopefully at Dawn:: Albertcat, thanks for the overview. I had noticed the scarf through the buttonhole in other drawings too. I think it's very dapper, but I don't think I'll be wearing a scarf, so that's probably out. I'm also not planning to do the train, but just out of curiosity, would it have been part of the skirt with the bands across the front, or a separate overskirt? Yes, that is her mask in her right hand. I have to confess that I'm going to wear this outfit as a pirate costume, so I'm not worried if it's a masque costume or not. Does anyone know where to get a cheap but good-looking flint lock pistol prop? Or a falchion? I just saw a show on the History Channel about early firearms. Would this be a matchlock rifle she's got? Thanks! Tea Rose P.S. I love where my underwear question has gone!

The Pirate flintlock is only like $49. _http://www.silvermane.com/weapons_firearms.html_ (http://www.silvermane.com/weapons_firearms.html) Or try your local costume shop [we have Morris Costumes down here... morriscostume.com] or even Toy-R-Us, and see if they have a non-working plastic one for real cheap. They can sometimes look pretty good. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Sounds like when we do Train Robberies (for Charity) on horseback. They even have WANTED Posters printed for the occasion! Susan Slow down. The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail.
