Re: [h-cost] wrapping turbans [was:Curious about headdress - Arabic?]
Oh, I am glad to hear there is more coming from the YWU article. I read it last night and didn't see anywhere to find instructions on how to wrap it.

Lynn McMasters is working on a series of articles for the online publication Your Wardrobe Unlock'd about wrapping turbans for Regency wear. I don't have a subscription yet, so can't comment on the articles, but I saw Lynn over the weekend at Costume College (where she taught turban wrapping) wearing a huge turban, and it looked great I would like to add that many Regency era turbans were evidently not extemporaneously wrapped on the head, but were instead built on a foundation.? We know Dolley Madison got turbans from France, for example, and the Hampshire County Museums has one in their collection, pictured in Hats by Fiona Clark.? Of course, one still had to wrap the fabric before attaching it to the foundation.

Re: [h-cost] wrapping turbans [was:Curious about headdress - Arabic?
Did she figure out how to wrap the turbans by experiment, by examining originals, or by using some period millinery manual? When will the articles be published, I'd like to read them?

Re: [h-cost] wrapping turbans [was:Curious about headdress - Arabic?
The first article has already been published. I think she said there's going to be a total of 3 articles. I don't know the answers to your questions (I didn't go to her turban wrapping class), and I don't think she's on this list, but you can ask her by sending her an email through her website, www.lynnmcmasters.com.
