However, as the Quattrocento progresses, the chemise, revealed through slits and slashes down the sleeves and the bodice, and around the neckline, becomes more decorated with embroidered bands around the collar and cuffs.

  • A Woman's Graffito Drawing from Hagia Sophia

It mainly discussed the possibility that the graffito presented a Western medieval woman donating a chalice. It is also very probable that the graffito was a work of the th15 century, produced by a anonymous skilled author, who must have been familiar with the woman’s fashion of his time. Keywords: graffiti, drawing, medieval clothes, medieval fashion, Hagia Sophia, dea- coness, medieval headdress, gown One of the places with abundance of graffiti is the Great Church or the Church of the Holy Wisdom – the famous sixth-century domed church, which was built by emperor Justinian the Great. It was considered to be one of the wonders of the world and the most important religious edifice in the city of Constantinople. Hagia Sophia was a focus of God’s blessing with tales of wonders and miracles, well-known beyond the borders of Byzantium.1 In the Great Church, graffiti comprised inscriptions in * We would like to thank Metropolitan Kallistos, ass. prof.

  • Is a Set of Guidelines on the Historical Costume of Duke Siemovit’S Mazowiecka Banner
    The following "Red Booklet" is a set of guidelines on the historical costume of Duke Siemovit’s Mazowiecka Banner. All of the information contained therein relate to what is required internally in our camp, and they are the choice of iconography and sources from the vast information about costumes from the period of our interest – i.e. 1390-1410. All kinds of questions and uncertainties related to the discrepancies between the guidelines of the Siemovit Banner and other Grunwald banners – should be cleared up within own camp, with persons involved in the control of the historical costume and with their costumography choices. Commander of the Siemovit’s Banner Małgorzta Rekosz-Piekarska, Red Booklet II Introduction to the reconstruction of the costume Reconstructing dresses of the bygone era we must rely on historical sources. The most reliable, are of course clothes preserved to our days, which we can, which we can freely examine and take to pieces. Unfortunately, the fabric does not stand up well to the passage of time, therefore from the late Middle Ages a little survived to our times. We therefore need to supplement our knowledge both with iconography as well as written sources. In the art of the turn of the 14th and 15th century there are plenty of depictions, which may become useful in reconstruction of the mediaeval clothing. Unfortunately there also is a lot of confusion and traps. Firstly, all depictions mainly show the higher society (founders and their entourage). Secondly the artists of this period often simplified the look of the clothing; there also was a custom of borrowing whole compositions or types of presentations from other artists (famous medieval patterns).

  • 1410 AD Houppelande
    Martha Rice Caitlin nic Raighne Dun Ard, Calontir 1410 AD Houppelande Houppelande of royal blue silk noil lined in Kelly green silk noil. Rounded, flat collar also of silk and self belt. Under dress of gold colored silk. Hair braided on each side then wrapped around ears. Headdress of gold colored silk formed into a roll with a brooch on center front. Shoes are soft-soled, pointed poulaines worn with wooden pattens. Accessories consist of a long string of beads draping from one shoulder and a black leather belt belted below the bustline. Jewelry consists of finger rings. No earrings appear in any of the literature. www.caitlinsclothing.com 1410 AD Houppelande © Martha Rice 2009 Martha Rice Caitlin nic Raighne Dun Ard, Calontir GENERAL NOTES Germany influenced fashions at this time. There was also a lot of influence from the Franco-Burgundian area shown by the use of novelties like the folly bells and jeweled collars. The under garment is not under discussion here. It is however typically a Gothic fitted dress and laces in the front To my knowledge, there are no existing houppelandes. I also could not find any pattern books, tailor's notes or household accounts written during the fifteenth century that discusses construction. There are several theories about how the houppelandes were made. The most common pattern is like a modern dress with a relatively closely cut neck, shoulder, and arm, and then a wide angle going to the hemline from under the arm. The trouble with this is that many of the illustrations show fullness / pleats pointing toward the shoulder line, and this manner of construction doesn't give that effect.
