Hello everyone, first up the short version of the question, does anybody
know what fabric 7th century Italian or English church vestments
(specifically the chasuble) would have been made of?
Read on if you're interested in why I need to know. My SCA group has been
given a quest to find a 'relic'
I'll have a look at my other patterns tonight and sort out
the sleeve later.
I've traced it all out, and added the side back bodice to
the front pieces, so I can lace up the side back/back seam
to allow for growth fluctuations. I will use the front
opening for putting on though. I'm being inspired

Do you think the sleeve is accurate? It looks to me as
though it is too shaped. In Jean Hunnisett the sleeves do
not have as much shaping.
I don't have Hunnisett so I can't say how they compare with her. However
I do think the sleeve cap is a little too poofy
Would vilene tearaway, heavy duty work? I used this a lot
with my satin stitching on Irish dance costumes and have
miles of it.

Bjarne had a good point I'd forgotten! For *most* embroidery on velvet, you
will probably want to use some form of waste canvas or gauze that you can cut
away afterwards to help keep the threads from hiding down in the velvet
velveteen as well.
Good Luck!

I've brought the pattern to work with me today to trace off
at lunch time.

I am making an open robe for my Elizabethan outfit and wondered if
anyone has seen short ornamental puffed sleeves on an open robe - I
can only find them on the closed robes or ropas.
I want to wear my elizabethan gown underneath the open robe, and not

There really isn't any statistical data, especially recent data, on the

The bobbin lace on this dress must be Chantilly lace. Chantilly lace is made
from unboiled silk thread, and uses thicker silk threads as gimps.
The big raised paisley ornamentation is not lace, but it must be
embroidered.

I realize I'm being commercial again but I have a 16th century cream
and gold silk brocade kirtle, trimmed with real pearls, for sale on
ebay. It is based on the Eleanora of Toledo burial gown in Janet
Arnold's "Patterns of Fashion." It is a fairly versatile style and
