Re: [h-cost] Working class pattern
The gold skirt is part of the gown--see the matching bodice. The green is an apron. This doesn't seem to be a purely functional boring old apron, which is only decorated by spills. It is decorated with a strip of trimming down the center front and along the bottom hem. The base of the apron is further trimmed with fringe or tufting.

Re: [h-cost] Working class pattern
Becky- That painting is The Fruit Seller by Vincenzo Campi, , ca1580. If you look it up at the Web Gallery of Art http://www.wga.hu/index1.html you will get the full painting, not the crop you found. You will be able to see all of her dress, right down to the hem and her right foot. To me, it looks like the green is a trimmed apron and the dress is all gold. There's a side view of another woman bending over in the background, and she's got the same arrangement. -Helen/Aidan ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Working class pattern
Might this be a painting of a wealthy woman playing at being a peasant? I ask because of the fancy trim at top of green apron/skirt and because her hair seems to be quite fancy, puffed and with ringlets, more like the ladies coiffures in Moda a Firenze, than a peasant (who would rightly have her hair in a coif or otherwise covered. -Original Message- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Becky Rautine Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 5:52 PM To: h-cost...@indra.com Subject: [h-cost] Working class pattern New image: http://www.marquise.de/en/1500/pics/1580_2.shtml New situation: I'm hoping to be a aprticipant next year at a Ren Faire (hopefully Scarsborough) as a weaver. I want to have a shoppe to sell weavings of shawls, mats, handkerchiefs, etc. I have a floor loom and am wanting to make a smaller one for the shoppe. Trilooms and small looms to show kids how to weave. I'd need a persona for working class, maybe Italian like the image. New question: In this image, is this the working pattern? Is the a front part of the skirt or an apron. Is she sitting on a gold cloth and the green is her skirt. I see decoration of the front so it must not be an apron. I really like this portrait. I love the gold and green combo. And the ribbons at the shoulder. Creative overload!!! Becky Rautine _ Microsoft brings you a new way to search the web.
