Re: [h-cost] odd sideless
I was leaving this to more knowledgeable costumers, but I think I'll chime in at this point. Yes, it's some kind of placket, or plastron. Sideless surcoats were stylized in this way in the later centuries. They were illustrated on statues and other visual documents always being worn by royalty, and often with this kind of placket in the later centures, long after they stopped being worn. I suspect what you're looking at is some kind of allegory or imagery, not actual clothing of the period. But... I'm no expert, just going on memory of other discussions on this list and others. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

I was emailing something to another person and I guess I put the wrong url for the statue. whoops, bahahahd me. Here's the correct url showing full statue, front. This is suppose to be Margrete of Flanders. statue http://tinyurl.com/c2js4n detail http://www.artandarchitecture.org.uk/images/conway/15a298a5.html If you click on the detail picture to enlarge you will notice that the sideless' side opening has a wide band border that is shown going all the way around. (side note: though the opening curves in the front, it is squared in the back) The bib is on top of the sideless and is in the front, over the shoulders and hangs in the back. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
