Assuming some influence from both sides of the merger, what would the
resulting mixed-race culture have worn, several hundred years in? If,
for example, there were a Vinlander GFD, what would it have looked
like? What would the men wear in cold weather? What kind of shoes
would people
I've been wondering-- and maybe this is something that is obvious to others,
just that I've not really focused on Viking or Russian clothing.
I was looking at a Russian lacquer box showing a young woman and saw the lovely
dress (sarafan?) she wore and it hit me-- that's a Viking apron dress!
Is the sarafan a relative of the apron dress??
I don't think so. It has sides, and, in its recent configurations, it
has straps sewn right on. They're wide apart in front and close
together in back. And the garment doesn't seem to go back farther
than the 1600s (I tried researching one for SCA
I had a very frustrating time of trying to locate some items this
weekend to show to a newcomer and have had it with the disorganization
of my costumes, my sewing and assorted art supplies and tools. When
I moved into my house I had a sewing room, then children moved home
and things were packed
Greetings Alex.
I also face the same issue with heat and storage of some of my items. My
current solution is simply to number the box (with a wide sharpie marker), and
then keep an inventory either on my computer, or in a binder (I have a very
thick fabric binder). The inventory list can then

I'm guessing it's a Bronzino painting. You might try Googling on
Bronzinoand looking at the images.

If you get translucent bins, you can slip a piece of card stock down between
the side of the bin and the stuff in the bin. The stuff holds it tight to
the bin, so you can read it. If opaque, hang a piece of muslin over the lip
of the bin, with whatever is in the bin written on the muslin with a

Thanks, everybody! (Someone on this list always knows everything! :-) )

OK, so what were the dates on the other ones with the same dress?
That should get it within 10 years either way.

Yup. And a decade (1540s or whatever) is plenty close enough for my

My Grandmother used to staple a plastic ziplock bag over the edge of the box
with the opening down and loose. She'd then put a card in the ziplock bag with
whatever the contents currently were.

I thought current thinking is that the apron dress has sides as well.
But not having the sarafan before 1600 would squash that theory...
Thanks!

That is a brillant idea! Much better than mine of taping card stock to front or
in the inside.

If you're storing the tubs in temperature extremes, you might need to consider
the stability of the plastic and its outgassing effects on the contents. Just a
word of caution from the textile conservation side of things...

Except I already have the tubs, and most are opaque. I wonder how
attractive the flap of muslin would be to cats that crawl through
everything

Most of what I have to store in the garage isn't what I'd consider of
a quality to be concerned with the long term effect.
My second project is going to making sachets to go into the tubs.
Somewhere sometime someone gave me one and this past weekend I found
the tub with it, it was really nice.

The Vikings made some serious incursions into Ireand in the middle ages.
Dublin and Cork are both Viking cities (built by conscripted irish labor).
The relationship in clothing is left as an exercise for the student. ;-)

I can definitely see that typical colonial reaction of anything from
the homeland being better, but sheer scarcity would surely lead the
colonists to make use of what's around them. I'm also thinking,
though, about the many types of native clothing that European
frontiersmen adopted, and how
