Re: [h-cost] Use of Fabrics?
I have used them in the past, for Renn stuff and 18thCstuff. I like how the fabric drapes, very rich. Not sure I'd want to use this fabric if I were wearing the garment outside, say in Pennsic heat, or warmer. But for indoor events, and where I live, it worked out well. There's a photo of one of the dresses on my projects page http://www.goldenoakinn.com/projects_estela.htm scroll down to the bottom, it's Gavlinne's crown tournement dress. The 18thC dress fabric came from another supplier, long before EBay. It was covered in chrysanthemums, yummy, and made a really nice sacque.

I've often looked at the fabrics at http://stores.ebay.com/Renaissance-Fabrics and wondered if anyone here had used them for Renaissance (general term) or Elizabethan garb? If so, what are your thoughts? I realise they are not natural fibres, but what did you think of the patterns? Do you have photos of finished gowns or doublets you might share with me?

The colors are vibrant and the pattern is great. I haven't finished the dress yet, so I don't have pictures, but as long as you know that the fabric isn't period correct I would go for it. Tania M.

Re: [h-cost] Use of Fabrics?
I saw this vender at the Ren Faire this year and the assortment was wonderful. I had a hard time deciding what to buy. I found one that is the right color for me and them had to choose the pattern. It was a hard decision. I wanted them all. I bought the garnet and gold Fleur-de-lis fabric. I showed it to a lady that makes costumes for that period and she said it was a great fabric. It isn't the historically correct fiber but it looks like the rich brocades of the 1560 1580. I plan to use my gabric to make a costume similar to one worn by Elenora de Toledo portraits. - Original Message - From: A J Garden [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Historical Costume [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 4:38 PM Subject: [h-cost] Use of Fabrics?

I've used two of their brocades for 16th c costumes, and I like the way they handle (haven't tried to clean them yet, though). You can see a gown I made from one of their brocasdes here: http://slumberland.org/moodle/file.php?file=/5/moddata/forum/36/5855/ren1.jpg -- Cathy Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] Physics is like sex; sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.--Richard Feynman ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Use of Fabrics?
I purchased some of the Celtic Cross from them. I used this on my daughters gown. I find it a bit to light weight for myself. If you would like a swatch of it lmk email me directly Lori ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
