  • A 1470S Turret Headdress from France Ilaria Rosati This Is Primarily
    A 1470s Turret Headdress from France Ilaria Rosati This is primarily a style for noblewomen, especially at the French royal court, but wealthy women in cities and towns would have worn similar. The origins of this style lie to the East: from the Ottomans, the Persians, the Mamluks, and perhaps Chinese, but my focus is on the headdress worn by noblewomen in France in the 1470s.1 Broadly speaking there are 4 main parts to this headdress, though not all are present in every single instance: 1) A fillet, which held the hair in place and helped anchor the turret. This fillet appears in artwork but I do not know of any clear textual evidence for this specific item, possibly the terms bout, touret, or chapelet may have been applied to this item.2 2) The turret itself, also called a haut bonnet, or a chaperon à cornette. I think it is more likely that the term hennin was used for the earlier horned headdress which went out of style by the 1450s.3 3) The frontlet, a rectangular band worn on top of a headdress, framing the face or wrapping around to the back of the head. Young girls could wear the frontlet on its own directly over their hair. In many images, particularly illuminations, the difference between a frontlet and the fillet mentioned above is ambiguous. 4) A veil, quevrechief à baniere, worn over the turret and trailing down behind. Materials The complete materials list is lost to history and will always be a matter of some conjecture.

  • Simple Viking Clothing for Women
    Simple Viking Clothing for Women Being a guide for SCA-folk who desire to clothe themselves in a simple but reasonably accurate Viking fashion, to do honor to the reign of King Thorson and Queen Svava. Prepared by Duchess Marieke van de Dal This edition: 6/24/04 For further information, please don’t hesitate to email: [email protected] Copyright 2004, Christina Krupp Women’s Undergown Very little is known about the authentic cut of the Viking-Age women’s undergown. Any of these construction methods are acceptable for SCA purposes. If authenticity is a concern, the first layout seems to be the most likely. c2004, Christina Krupp (Marieke), [email protected] Preferred: “Authentic T-Tunic” style, below. See Cynthia Virtue’s website, http://www.virtue.to/articles/tunic_worksheet.html for full instructions. A similar tunic worksheet website is from Maggie Forest: www.forest.gen.nz/Medieval/articles/Tunics/TUNICS.HTML -- 3.5 yds of 60” cloth works well for an average-sized person. If you are large and your center panel needs to be wide, you’ll need another yard for the arms. -- Underarm gussets are optional; if they are omitted, make the upper arms roomy. -- The center front and center back gores may be omitted; if so, use wider side gores to give fullness at the hem. If you’re more comfortable using the standard (but not very authentic) SCAdian T-tunic model, try one of these: Modified T-tunic style from 3.5 yds of 60” cloth (below left), or 5 yds of 45” cloth (below right) The simpler of the “Vigdis’ “Greenland” or Undergown” is a “Herjolfsnes” kyrtles speculative, but are sometimes used as efficient, pattern.

  • Fashion in the Age of the Georgians: 1714 – 1800
    Fashion in the Age of the Georgians: 1714 – 1800 University of Southampton International Summer School 2017 The development of modern fashion has its roots in 18th century consumerism and design, the period in which the act of shopping and following fashionable clothing trends became widely available to wealthy English society. Fashion plays a crucial role in the development of English culture during the long eighteenth century (c.1688-1815), particularly for the elite classes. This short course will examine elite formalwear from this period, considering how dress was used to influence social attitudes towards issues such as gender, class and politics. We will looK at images and physical examples of surviving eighteenth century dress, and discuss the implications and impact of these garments. We will looK at construction methods, and have a short interactive embroidery worKshop, to explore the depth of skill and time needed to create elite fashions. The course will conclude with a visit to the Fashion Museum Bath, which houses a world class collection of contemporary and historic dress. The Fashion Museum's current exhibition 'The History of Fashion in 100 Objects' (running until January 2019) considers the evolution of dress from the 1600s to the present day, displaying examples of both men's and women's dress, footwear and children's clothing, and considering how the fashion of the past has influenced different styles today.

  • Easy Fillet, Barbette, Veil and Wimple Instructions
    Easy Fillet, Fillet Barbette, Veil and Wimple Instructions Veil Many elegant looks can be created with different combi- nations of the fillet, Barbette barbette, veil and wimple. Wimple “Cheater” Pleated Fillet The original pleated fillet or pleated toque hats (origin of a chef’s hat) were made out pleated fabric. Amanda’s “cheater” fillet method is to wrap a plas- tic canvas crown in a long strip. Here’s a link to some more authentic direc- tions. Pleated Fillet Materials Two pieces of 13x22-inch plastic canvas A half-yard of fabric (ideally matching your blanket binding or other wrap above as closely as possible). This will become the top of your hat. Cardboard for making a circle approximately 10-12 inches diameter Can of spray adhesive such as Krylon All Purpose 7010 Spray Adhesive 2 packages of 2-inch wide satin blanket binding (4.75 yards in the package), sold at fabric stores in a wide variety of colors. You might be able to achieve a similar effect with -2 inch wide solid color ribbon (but without the folded edges it won’t look as much like the original pleats). You could also theoretically cut your own blanket binding from any fabric, but without the convenience of the premade bind- ing an unpleated style or a more traditional method might make more sense. Step 1: Measure your head circumference where you’d like your hat to sit. The nation- al average head size is 22.5 inches. Step 2: Print out and cut out the pattern on the next page at 100% size on a 8.5x11 paper.
