  • Les Coiffures
    Semaine 14 – ORTHOGRAPHE ET VOCABULAIRE Les coiffures 1. Trouvez les 30 fautes d’orthographe cachées dans ce teste extrait de la revue Animagine : Louis XIII perdit ses cheveux à trente ans et inaugura le porc port de la perruque. L’usage de ces postiches faits de faux cheveux était fréquent pour les vieillards des classes privilégiées, par contre un jeune noble aurait eu honte de porter cet attribut. Mais ce que le Roi fait devient coutume et la nouvelle coife coiffe royale faite de cheveux artificiels fut adoptée par la Cour. Louis XIV possédait une perruque différente pour chaque occupation de la journée, cette mode perdurat perdura sous Louis XV. Pendant le règne de Louis XVI, toute la bonne société portait perruque et les perruquiers pouvaient vivre heureux. A cette époque, on comptait environ douze cents perruquiers qui tenaient leur privilège(s) de Saint Louis et employaient six mille personnes. La poudre à perruque était un amidon vendu à prix d’or. Les parfumeurs assuraient détenir un extraordinaire secret de fabrication, alors qu’il ne s’agissait que d’un amidon réduis réduit en poudre et passer passé au travers d’un tamis de soie très serrée. Les boutiques de perruques n’étaient pas réputées pour leur hygiène… C’est la révolution de 1789 qui sonna le glas des perruques, le symbole d’une noblesse vieillissante. Alors, l’expression « tête a à perruque » désignait les vieillards obstinés et nostalgiques qui conservaient l’habitude des faux cheveux, et plus généralement toute personne démodée et vieillotte. Il fallut attendre la fin du XIXème siècle pour voir ressurgir resurgir une profession qui avait quasiment disparu(e).

DEBENHAM & FREEBODY, WIGMORE STREET c^' WELBECK STREET, LONDON, W. aiFT OF PREFACE HE Fourth Edition of Ardern Holt's "Fancy Dresses Described" being exhausted, we have made arrange- ments for the publication of the Fifth Edition with such corrections as experience dictates, and a very large addition to the number of characters detailed. The suggestions we have received have been carefully noted, and the result is a larger and more comprehensive work than any hitherto published. The inquiry for Coloured Plates has induced us to select sixteen favourite Models for Illustration in Colours, of a completely new character, as well as a new series of smaller Illustrations, and we trust they will add greatly to the usefulness of the book. The Author's name is a guarantee for the correctness of the descriptions and accuracy of details; and we have endea- voured (as in former editions) to maintain such simplicity as will enable many ladies to produce the costumes at home.

  • A Hat for a Fair Damsel of Camelot by Rachelle Spiegel
    A Hat for a Fair Damsel of Camelot by Rachelle Spiegel While history seems to place the historical King Arthur, a legendary British leader who, according to Medieval histories and romances, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders, in the early sixth century (a period of very basic and fairly primitive costuming), the fantasy of Camelot was truly developed in the Later Middle Ages. The romance of chivalry and the elaborate court styles of the times have great possibilities in the realm of miniature design and costuming. Throughout the Medieval Period all women, with the exception of young girls, kept their hair completely covered in public. The style included a very high forehead, often achieved by shaving or plucking the hairline above the forehead. In earlier periods the head covering was generally a wimple or veil. Later styles of headdress fall into severa main categories: the reticulated (having a net-like pattern), the horned, the heart shaped, the turban and the hennin. Reticulated headdresses were basically cauls (a close fitting cap, usually of net-work, enclosing the hair) of silver or gold wire, often set with jewels, forming side pillars to the face, in which the hair was concealed. Originally the mesh was formed into two cylinders which fitted on either side of the head in front of the ears which enclosed plaits or unbound tresses of hair which were inserted through the open tops.These side cauls were attached to a circlet or fillet which had a semicircular projection on either side, forming the tops of the cauls.

  • Aunt Flossie's Hats: and Crab Cakes Later Elizabeth Fitzgerald Howard and James E
    Aunt Flossie's Hats: and Crab Cakes Later Elizabeth Fitzgerald Howard and James E. Ransome Two little girls visit their Aunt Flossie and, while trying on some of her many hats, listen to the memories that each hat brings. Each reminiscence paints a portrait of some aspect of African- American history, but the girls' favorite is the day the wind blew Aunt Flossie's best hat into the river. • Spark student’s interest by asking them to think about something special that they did or that happened to them. Ask students: What were you wearing during this special time? Encourage children to tell what happened and what they were wearing at that time. o Write the question on chart paper and record children's responses below it. Then explain to children that the story they are going to listen to is about Aunt Flossie. When her two nieces come to visit, Aunt Flossie tells them stories. Each story comes to mind because she remembers the particular hat she was wearing at that time. Aunt Flossie shares her memories with her nieces as she shares her hats. • Do you have any memories (pictures, mementos, journals, etc.) that you can share with your students? o Encourage students to share their memories in small groups or with the whole class. Be aware that students might choose to bring in items from home that might be valuable. • Discuss the importance of preserving memories with your students. o Why do we want to have something to hand down to the next generation, to our children and grandchildren? .
