Re: [h-cost] looking for scan of Alcega Scholar robe

Hi there, No it isn't only men's clothing. It also includes women's garments and other types of barding; of course the horse barding came before women's clothing in the book. Wonder if that is a comment of the times on how we as ladies rated. (he he). Etiennette -- Original

Re: [h-cost] early Tudor/medieval Fashion or Not?

I don't have the original post, but I thought the short skirt over long skirt thing seemed Spanish. So here's something I found that might be useful. It's from Weidnitz Trachtenbuch about 1530 or 1540. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2767477510025622007ZaBAUb MaggiRos --- Lynn Roth

Re: [h-cost] early Tudor/medieval Fashion or Not?

Though I vaguely remember seeing some German prints and French manuscript illuminations with either the short over dress or the long peplum bodice (this is the first I remember seeing both on one figure), I wonder if the artists might have mistaken a tuck of fabric like it is here in the Lotto

Re: [h-cost] early Tudor/medieval Fashion or Not?

The commentary in the Dover reprint I got this from says the whole upper section is a jacket, and it may be. A lot of German peasant women in the woodcuts are shown with jackets with a long peplum or skirting that is definitly not a tuck of the skirt. That this one has another colored band at the

I found the original post. The effergy is from c1535 and is of Edith Pexall nee Brocas. This was noted by Dr. Jane Malcolm Davies. On first look I thought it might be a fold in the kirtle at least thats what it looked like to me. The kirtle looks almost to long almost as if it were more a

Re: [h-cost] early Tudor/medieval Fashion or Not?

Thank you MaggiRos, I really appreciate these images and where they came from. I am going to collect as many as I can find, and try to organize them to time and location, so I can try to see a pattern, if any. And the note that it is a jacket is similar to the thought that the saint was wearing

Re: [h-cost] early Tudor/medieval Fashion or Not?

Hello Lynn, As far as I understand, smocks (aka chemises) were not as long as to the floor, but usually somewhere around the knee length, maybe to ankles. I am no expert on smocks, tho. Her status I think is that of gentlewoman, which may or may not be noble in birth, but of higher station than
