  • What Were Cottons for in the Early Industrial Revolution?1
    What were Cottons GEHN Conference – University of Padua, 17-19 November 2005 John Styles University of Hertfordshire [email protected] What were Cottons for in the Early Industrial Revolution?1 Fashion’s Favourite, the title of Beverley Lemire’s 1991 book on the cotton trade and consumer revolution in England, reminded us that in the eighteenth century cotton was a fashionable fabric.2 During the second half of the century, decorated cottons like sprigged muslins, printed calicoes and white tufted counterpanes established a remarkable currency as desirable fabrics for dress and furnishing at all levels in the market. They became an indispensable element of fashion. Of course we can debate exactly what ‘fashion’ means in this context. Is it fashion in the economist’s sense of regular changes in visual appearance of any type of good intended to stimulate sales? Is it fashion in the dress historian’s sense of annual or seasonal manipulation of normative appearance through clothing? Or is it fashion in the fashion pundit’s sense of those forms of self- conscious, avant-garde innovation in dress pursued by an exclusive social or cultural élite – the fashion of royal courts, the eighteenth-century ton, and later haute couture? It is a remarkable feature of cotton’s success in the later eighteenth century that it embraced fashion in each of these three senses. In the process, cotton challenged the previous supremacy of silks and woollens as fashionable fabrics. At the start of the eighteenth century the complaints of the silk and woollen producers had secured a prohibition on the import and sale of most types of cotton, then largely sourced in south Asia.

  • Hedgehog Lacers 20Th Annual Lace-In
    Hedgehog Lacers 20th Annual Lace-In September 9-10, 2017 The members of the Hedgehog Lace Guild invite you to attend our annual lace workshop. We have a wonderful group of teachers offering a variety of classes. Classes 100 Chrysanthemum — All levels ~ Sylvia Fellows Chrysanthemum Lace is a tape lace that has some elements resembling Brugges Lace. It is characterized by the "Split Spider" stitch on one side of each tape. The "petals" formed can look like a chrysanthemum flower, a popular motif in this lace. It uses, usually, only 8 pairs of bobbins or less. 101 Milanese Lace — All levels ~ Louise Colgan Milanese Lace is characterized by special decorative stitches that become integral features of each design. The creative nature of this type of lace makes it suitable for both traditional and contemporary interpretation. A variety of projects will be offered to cover all levels of Milanese techniques. Students will be given the option of using colored threads to make their own unique pieces from the selected patterns. A solid foundation in basic Bobbin Lace skills is required. Diagram-reading skills are also recommended. NOTE: Continuing “Louise” projects are also welcome. 102 Tatting — All levels ~ Randy Houtz There are several methods and applications for tatting split rings. Class time will be spent examining a different technique and/or application: the basic split ring; woven split rings; adding a ring to the split ring; and adding rings to both sides are examples. Prerequisites: Students should be comfortable with tatting rings, chains and joins. It is helpful to know other tatting methods but not necessary.

  • Women's Clothing in the 18Th Century
    National Park Service Park News U.S. Department of the Interior Pickled Fish and Salted Provisions A Peek Inside Mrs. Derby’s Clothes Press: Women’s Clothing in the 18th Century In the parlor of the Derby House is a por- trait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, wearing her finest apparel. But what exactly is she wearing? And what else would she wear? This edition of Pickled Fish focuses on women’s clothing in the years between 1760 and 1780, when the Derby Family were living in the “little brick house” on Derby Street. Like today, women in the 18th century dressed up or down depending on their social status or the work they were doing. Like today, women dressed up or down depending on the situation, and also like today, the shape of most garments was common to upper and lower classes, but differentiated by expense of fabric, quality of workmanship, and how well the garment fit. Number of garments was also determined by a woman’s class and income level; and as we shall see, recent scholarship has caused us to revise the number of garments owned by women of the upper classes in Essex County. Unfortunately, the portrait and two items of clothing are all that remain of Elizabeth’s wardrobe. Few family receipts have survived, and even the de- tailed inventory of Elias Hasket Derby’s estate in 1799 does not include any cloth- ing, male or female. However, because Pastel portrait of Elizabeth Crowninshield Derby, c. 1780, by Benjamin Blythe.

One of the woven fragments I examined was thought to have originated from a curtain or wall hanging.

Al- though the piece has two adjacent hemmed sides, and is not square, it is easily seen that it has been pulled out of square by hanging from the corner and other points along one edge, an indication of it having been used as a wall hanging or curtain.

  • Bed Hangings from Culloden House
    Bed Hangings from Culloden House Introduction Details of the tartan Hangings1 from a bed in Culloden House, in which Prince Charles Edward is said to have slept prior to the Battle of Culloden in April 1746, were recorded in the early 1970s in the archives of the Scottish Tartans Society (STS)2. Other than a threadcount and reference to the story of the tartan’s use no other details were given including the whereabouts of the Hangings which were no longer at Culloden House. Scarlett mentioned them in his 1990 booki and included a threadcount that differed slightly at the pivots from that in the STS records (Fig 1) but again does not appear to have known their whereabouts. x x x x Fig 1. Comparison of the STS and Scarlett’s counts for the Bed Hangings – the pivots are marked ‘x’. The fact that the complex tartan had been recorded suggests that there must have been an earlier record that the STS/Scarlett reproduced. The difference in the two was probably the result of a transcription error by one or other but it was not clear at the time which setting was correct and without either the earlier record or the actual Hangings the discrepancy would in all likelihood have endured. The Culloden House Bed At the time of the battle in April 1746 the house belonged to Duncan Forbes of Culloden3. It was requisitioned for the Prince’s use in the days before the battle and whilst he no doubt slept there, no contemporary evidence of the décor of the bedroom he occupied survives.
