Buttons along the edge: that sounds familiar. I feel I've seen a photo of
that...maybe in Textiles and clothing, c.1150-c.1450 (Crowfoot. et al) cited
by Catherine earlier? It's been a while since I did any research related to
that
time period, but buttons along the edge triggered an image of
Buttons on the edge --- sounds like the extant dress that either Kass
McGann or bangs head on desk - another top garb lady -- saw and
reproduced. The dress was either Irish or Scottish in origin.
It sticks in my head because the extant dress was *almost* the ladies exact
size.

I recently found a book called The Illustrated Hassle-free Make Your Own
Clothes Book by Rosonberg and Weiner published by Bantam.
I ordered it sight-unseen, so it's not exactly what I thought it was going
to be, but it's proven to be an interesting glimpse into the recent
Perhaps the Moy Bog dress? I don´t know of any
bit of fabric in Textiles and Clothing that would
have been complete enough for reconstruction, but the Moy Bog gown is...

Textiles and clothing has some images and information about buttons sewn to the

Oh my, I laughed so hard at the idea of there ever being re-enactment groups
for the era of my childhood! I'm having trouble coping with the idea of the
70's, 80's and 90's being 'vintage' and collectible. Still, I wish I had
hung on to some pieces from back then.
And if we can re-enact the
HOLD ON! I bought that book in 1972; it sits with all my other costume
books. At the time it was very cool and taught how to sew alternative
lifestyle clothing - recycle, reuse. Sound familiar? It was a great
introduction to a couple of my friends who were convinced they'd never learn
to sew
Oh dear! I guess I should hang onto those crocheted minidresses from my high
school college years, then. They just might be worth something someday soon.

from a book, that included

Ahh, but if I lost just a few more pounds I could probably get back into them
and wear them for Halloween next year. ;) BTW, is that Lincoln High in
Stockton you're referring to?

In Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion, Volume
1, there are pictures of a doublet (c. 1610) with
buttons with worked linen shanks on the left edge
of the front; the clearest picture of the buttons
is Figure 162 on page 25. There are other examples.

Oh my yes! I'd hang on to anything crocheted like that. Just love crochet
I guess. Actually, they'd probably be cute over leggings or a slip
dress...could easily be worn today for some people!

Ah, just wondered. If I remember correctly, my ex-husband graduated from
Lincoln in Stockton in 1969. I thought it was too much of a coincidence. You
must have had a VERY interesting high school experience! ;)
