Hi,
I am thinking about embroidering a spencer with silk ribbon. So can anyone
suggest a period silk ribbon design? Also suggest written references, colour
plates or articles that I can refer to?
Thanks
Yours in costuming.

The Kyoto book does show a gown (pp42/3) that I think comes close.? It
certainly has raised embroidery, some of which could be ribbon.? Some of you
might remember that Bjarne was working on this gown, the last time we heard

I do a fair ammount of embroidery-mending all the time.? Last fall I re cut and
designed a long sweater vest, starting out at the goodwill with an oversized
sweater (dress?).? I have been perusing the Art to Wear (Ausralia) again, and
my mind is working on something that will include 'found'
I love the cabbage gown!!

Check out these costumes by Nicole Dextras-made of some unusual materials!
The outfit made of plants are OK some are not petty though IMHO.
I like the garments and fabrics frozen in water. Especially the ones out in the

I cruised several books and museum catalogues this Am for trimming a spencer;
found no exact match but Nora Waugh makes mention of fabrics and trims for the

seeing pictures I sent a link to a Picasa Web album, but I haven't seen it come

undergarments for my Renaissance costumes. I got one that is long rectangular
for $.50 a few weeks ago. Off white, but no stains ready to be restyled. I
buy sweaters to make pillow covers, chenille. Which I can also

Hello, again!
I have found out that Canvasbacks, a company that had made high end women's
clothing, that now mainly sells their remaining fabric from Europe, will be
open the Thursday and Friday of the convention. With the exception of the
fabric for ties, everything is 60 inch wide. The
Interesting, but I was thinking of something more along the wearable
than the conceptual art line.
