It seems to me it's clearly a Victorian or later representation of a
Renaissance style, either Italian or German. But I've never seen it
before and have no idea where
Wow!! I didn't know you could do that with Google! Thank you so much for
that factoid, and for finding the source of the painting.

Does anyone know of any upcoming costume exhibits in New York,
specifically end of April? I've checked the Met and FITM websites and
there isn't anything (aside from a standard exhibit from the collection
at FITM). Ditto The Frick and the Museum of the City of New York.
Also, does anyone know
New-ish pattern from Butterick, day dress 1837-1840 (mislabeled in the
pattern book as Civil War).

Everything looks spot on to me, except for the oddly asymmetrical
bodice. That would have to be changed, but I can't decide if the
Thanks for the help. I'm also wondering about two small details on this
pattern. It's designed to close with hooks and eyes (wonder of wonders,
NOT a zipper) but I wonder if lacing might be more appropriate to the
time period (1840). Also, the sleeves end with a slit (at least 3-4
inches)
The White Queen would have you believe that ALL the men at court,
along with about 90% of the women, went around bareheaded all the time.
WTF??

I am going to be making a Regency outfit for a friend who lives on the
other side of the country. Since there won't be any chance to fit it, I
need to get the most exhaustive set of measurements possible.
Can any suggest a site that has a fill-in measurement chart that is
really detailed,
I'm making a couple of Regency bonnets, with satin ribbons as ties.
How do you finish off the end of the ribbon? Hem it? Cut it, and if so,
how? Such a minor detail, but I'm stumped.
Thanks,

Thank you all for your answers. The ribbon is 1.5 wide, and definitely
synthetic. I tried to make a narrow hem as suggested but I'm either
clumsy or doing something wrong because it lookedlumpy. I think I
will try the 45 degree swallowtail cut.

I am making a Regency evening gown for a friend. It consists of a black
lace overdress with a slate blue lining. I'm uncertain as to what color
gloves should be worn with this color ensemble/ I think white gloves
against the black and slate blue would look garish, and black gloves
would look
Thank you, everybody, for all the wonderful suggestions. I had no idea
that there was so much color in gloves in the Regency. I thing the
suggestions of either fawn colored gloves or a sky blue will be best,
but it will be easier now to find the right ones with a much wider color

I'm going to be in New York next spring (mid-March) and I can squeeze in
a couple of hours in the garment district, and I'd appreciate some
suggestions: If you could only visit two fabric/trim shops, which would
be at the top of your list?
Also, I've checked the Met and FITM for costume
Thank you for the suggestion. I would very much like to see this
exhibit, but unfortunately my trip isn't until March.
Is there a permanent exhibit on display on the Costume Institute? I
can't seem to find any information one way or the other on the Met's
website.
