Hi,
no idea whether I'm writing too late or not, but I live in Prague and there are
some nice fabric shops here - what exactly would you like to buy? There are
shops with very cheap but good fabrics including linen and cotton but there are
also shops with theatre/evening fashion.

Hi,
I'm just up to make this doublet (or whatever it's called):

It's the second one from the left. It's taken from Medieval costume, armor, and
weapons, but originally it comes from the Wenceslas bible and it's dated to the

My theatre teacher in college made a dress like this, without a fastening.
The way she did it was to cut it on the bias. She literally had the actress
lie down on the fabric, and traced around her, allowing extra for going
around the body. She made the sleeves separately, as they wouldn't fit on
What you are wanting isn't a doublet, I believe it is a cotehardie.

I'm not sure about the lacing up the back idea with period
garments...haven't seen any in early period garments, side back lacing in
later, Rennaisance, garments, and not until the 17thC centre back lacing...
But I could be wrong.

I want to make an Elizabethan ruff. I have some fine linen, but the selvedge
is funky. Should I double the fabric, having a fold at the outside

It might not be possible to do it without fastening, so my second question is,
where would a fastening for such a garment be? (I don't want the front
fastening). On the back? Or was there any at the sides? What

Rewiring the electrical in the bedroom. I'll be able to SEE when I cut
out my fabric, and when I'm digging in
I double mine and put a medium fishing line in the folded
edge using the zipper foot. I also starched the linen first.

You can find back lacing on gowns from Henry the 7th period (early tudor)in
England and France. Rare but it did exist.

It is my gut instinct that the front fastening was
probably lacing and just was not depicted.
