I've been staring at the few pictures that exist for 25 years, and have
discussed it with several people who have seen it in person. (I,
unfortunately, am probably the person who knows the most about 16th C. Irish

I know most shemakers in the UK, and have never heard of Pilgrim Shoes.
Something about their pictures just don't look right - shapes too madern,
as though they're made on modern lasts, or something.
Decent shoemakers in the UK, Kevin Garlick, or Morgan at Plantagenet Shoes

Rockville is the closest to a Metro, but they just moved and I think they
are farther away. There is probably a bus from the Metro, though. For any

The flowing back pleats of the French gown are lovely in motion.?
Check out some films to see it on a moving person. Dangerous Liaisons comes
to mind as a good example of all kinds of mid 18th century gowns on people in
motion.
Don't forget about Commedia del arte characters. They come

Thanks for all your comments on the Shinrone gown, everyone.
It's certainly more than I knew before disappointing that there's not
much else to go on. If there's a paper or even a mention in CSA or Dress,
I'd like to have a heads up about it. Other than that, sounds like

No, there isn't much out there. At my visit, I
spoke with museum curatorial staff. I asked for
copies of any conservation reports on the gown
that they had, but they said that they could not
find any. They had a new textile conservator, but
her office is at the other museum (Barracks) and

Hello,
My mad scramble to get myself ready for Costume College left me with a new
goal, but I'm very uncertain about fabric.
I want to make this gown:

That's a chemise dress. It would have been linen or cotton.
Yes,they made it that sheer back then.

I realize that it is a cotton or linen chemise dress, but I'm confounded by
what modern fabric to use to approximate it. Even the ancient Egyptians had
sheer linens, but modern sheers seem too stiff or too mushy.
I need a time-travel machine!

It looks like the ruffles on neck and forearm are of thinner material than
the main body of the dress- eg. I can see the line of the forearm, (but not
the elbow/upper arm) through the fabric; perhaps a light/hanky linen for the
dress and a silk chiffon for the ruffles?

I have no personal experience with either but while surfing for Kentwell
information tonight (hey, a girl can dream!) I noted that Pilgrim Shoes is one
of the official vendors for their Tudor/Elizabethan reenactors and actually
sells from a booth while the reenactment is open.

Well, I hadn't thought of using two different fabrics for the outer dress.
Suppose that might work. I do see on her shoulder, under the ruffle, an
under-sleeve of an opaque fabric which would be the under-support for the
sleeve puffs.
I think the ruffles need a bit more body than chiffon, but I
