Re: [h-cost] Sleeves hate me
Dear Dawn, Poor you, hopefully you have got a better feeling of it now. I also discovered, making the same, adding cuffs to a 1770 coat that because i cut the cuffs along the selvedge, it shines differently than the rest of the suit. But i am in a hurry, i wont make it over, until maybe later. I need this suit for next months ending weekend. Must remember not to do the same with the pocket flaps!

I've just spent 3 hours on a sleeve for my silk-lined velvet early 18th century coat (aka Pirate Coat). All carefully interfaced and sewn inside out so it can be turned with all the seams inside and the cuffs are on wrong. GHH!!! I'm not sure I have enough chocolate ice cream to get through the rest of the day. :( Dawn ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] peau d'ange
Actually, donkey-skin is also correct. Charles Perrault's 1697 Tales of Past Times, with Morals, soon re-titled Mother Goose Tales, includes Donkey-Skin. All-Kinds-of-Fur is the German version, collected by the brothers Grimm a century or so later. Appropriately enough, Donkey-Skin (tr. Jack Zipes, in The Longman Anthology of World Literature, vol E: The Nineteenth Century) ends with this moral: Finally, we must take into account that clear water and brown bread are sufficient nourishment for all young women provided that they have beautiful clothes BUT the peau-d'âne is NOT the beautiful clothes Perrault's referring to, of course!

RE: [h-cost] tippets
Current scholarship is that they aren't a separate accessory at all-- they're the vestigial long pointy sleeve (morphed over time into a thin streamer) as seen hanging from a short-sleeved overdress. That's why they're so often white (and so often with little black specks)-- that's the ermine lining of the sleeve.

Re: [h-cost] peau d'ange
If you want to read a new telling of that story, then you should read Robin McKinleys Deerskin, incredibly haunting and beautifully told. It does contain a scene with description of some courtclothes, that was rather nice, just to keep it on the costume content.
