Re: [h-cost] Heidi, Kate Greenaway, and Aesthetic dress
Can anyone recommend a good book with lots of pictures? Or, failing that, some detailed websites? Karin Larsson, the wife of Swedish artist Carl Larsson, was known for her own take on Aesthetic-style dresses, and her husband often painted her in her designs. The book _Carl and Karin Larsson: Creators of the Swedish Style_ has paintings and photos of her, as well as mention of her style.

They used that pattern. However, I don't believe it is still available.

Re: [h-cost] Heidi, Kate Greenaway, and Aesthetic dress
If you are speaking of an Empire gown sort of dress (I can't remember the period for this dress, but the Kate Greenway children et al are attired in Empire gowns with the boys in breeches, etc), the pattern by Folkwear has, to my taste, excessive gathers in the bodice. I prefer a pattern with a smoother bodice (picky, I know) where the gathers are present but not obvious. I highly recommend the patterns found in the _Patterns of History_ books by Janet Arnold. They are not commercial patterns, per se, but are not difficult to follow.

Re: [h-cost] Heidi, Kate Greenaway, and Aesthetic dress
Hi Yeah thats right, and also the danish female artist called Anna Anker was wearing these dresses. I believe there is a portrait that her husband made of her, his name was Michael Anker. But if these are online i dont have a clue about.

Bjarne said: Yeah thats right, and also the danish female artist called Anna Anker was wearing these dresses Thanks, Bjarne,I didn't know about the Ankers. I found a print at Art.com of Anna Anker (Ancher, by their spelling) by Michael. The link is very long, but if you go to www.art.com and put in Michael Anker, the portrait is right there. It's a great sunny portrait on a very gray, rainy day here, too. Caryn ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] contracts
Hi all. I was wondering if I could ask all you professionals out there for some advice. I have a friend who is starting to make high-quality SCA garb for sale, and is interested in doing custom work. She was wondering about the wording on contracts, whether these be pay for garment or barter for garment. Any suggestions that I could share with her? thanks!

[h-cost] Re: aesthetic dress
Lovely as it may seem now, aesthetic dress was considered strange and subversive at the time. Gilbert and Sullivan had a great show (I have never seen it, unfortunately) about the aesthetic movement -- Patience; or, Bunthorne's Bride. The heroine is a young girl who thinks she can't be in love unless she's suffering, so she ignores the nice young man who loves her in favor of the Oscar Wilde-ish poet whom she can't stand. Whenever she's around him, she suffers, so she thinks she must be in love. During the operetta, all the young soldiers give up their uniforms for velvet suits and lilies, to catch the women who are swooning over poets. When I Go Out the Door is the final song describing the poet and the hero. The poet is: A most intense young man, A soulful-eyed young man, An ultra-poetical, super-aesthetical, Out-of-the-way young man! and A pallid and thin young man, A haggard and lank young man, A greenery-yallery, Grosvenor Gallery, Foot-in-the-grave young man! Of course, the aesthetic folks didn't see themselves that way. There's also a great cartoon by G.K. Chesterton called Vision in Bedford Park. I can't find it online, unfortunately, but it's in the edition of The Man Who Was Thursday published by Ignatius and annotated by Martin Gardner. It shows a pallid and thin man carrying a lily and a woman in a loose, aesthetic gown staring in shock at the shadow of a man in a respectable coat, carrying a prayer book. The caption is Bedford Parkers see a Dreadful Vision of the Future: an old acquaintance going to Church. Bedford Park was an artsy area of London where poets and the like hung out, and Chesterton was an old Bedford Parker himself, before his famous conversion, after which he preferred common sense and religious orthodoxy to aesthetic movements, atheism, and intellectual fads. But his associating aesthetic dress to these things gives you an idea of the way it was regarded.
