Millie von Konsky will have her usual "Easy Does It" Folk Dance Party Sunday, March 15th, from 6:30 - 9:30 PM, in Hayward. This event is Free!! Vierlande Costume This festival costume from northern Germany in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, is catalogued as an 1850 Bride Costume. But the pictures in later books designate it as festival costume. Probably the most interesting pieces of the outfit are the apron and hat with under coif. The hat is like an inverted straw fruit bowl and has a large satin ribbon bow with long streamers. The bow appears to have milliners' wire to keep it stiff. The ties under the chin go through slits in the straw and over the crown to help hold the hat on more effectively. The V. and A. staff did not put the under-coif on, but pictures show a black silk square that covers all the hair. The square, like many other European peasant scarves is not folded into a triangle first but is put on as a square and then folded vertically at the sides of the face and tied in front under the chin. I suspect the bride at the museum doesn't have a scarf on because of the tradition that maidens can have their hair uncovered, but matrons wear scarves or coifs. When the hat is left off, another coif, triangular style,is sometimes used. It has a point on the forehead, echoing the Medieval/Renaissance frontlet. Over this scarf is a large black bow with long streamers to the waist. Sometimes the streamers are pinned up to the scarf at the crown of the head. It is not clear, in my research, whether these different coif styles are fashion changes or reflect different villages or marital status. 4 = The apron at first appears to be the skirt because it covers the red flannel skirt from waist to hem and almost meets in the back. The black, polished cotton apron has a wide brocaded ribbon at the waistband. Below this is an interesting arrangement of velvet ribbons applied horizontally to the apron in three rows. The ribbons have alternating black and blue squares and are mitered at the edge of hip so they dip down at the side of the apron. There is also floral embroidery near the ribbons at the rear. The next area of the apron looks like smocking but is really rows of gathering threads—very small stitches. The apron isn't released into fullness until about halfway down the pelvis—unlike most aprons which have gathers at the waistband. The jacket of this German costume is square cut and bolero length ( to the waist) with heavily ornamented wide cuff area. Buttons of the cuff are silver. The jacket is a reddish-purple wool. Underneath the jacket is a vest with embroidered velvet plastron (stomacher), another echo from the late Renaissance. The embroidery uses silver gilt thread, tinsel and faceted red glass. The design is a vase with flowers and two birds. Brocaded ribbon, mainly yellow, is also used on the vest. The almost invisible skirt is a pleated, red flannel lined with a floral, white-ground chintz. A green silk ribbon is at the hem border, The pink damask ribbon at the waistband is almost hidden under the apron and vest. The striped silk scarf at neck is green, yellow, wine and white. It is rolled and just hangs there. This costume also includes white, knitted cotton stockings with "clocks" in a tree design at the ankles. The men's costume I am describing is from a book published in 1912 by Rafe Julien. The men wear a black top hat, tall crown with narrow brim. The black knee breeches are medium full and have a front fall with three rows of decorative buttons arranged vertically. Black hose and black tie shoes. The black jacket is cut square and to waist length with white buttons in a double breasted style. Vest is embroidered or a rich woven pattern in green or blue. The vest buttons to the collar bone, and the effect is rather sober except for the rows of white buttons. I suspect the men also wore silver, not white, buttons in an earlier time, like the ladies. A black silky, cravat ties under the white shirt collar. Outfit looks very 18th century or early 19th century. The men's work costume, as depicted on a water carrier, has full brown, corduroy breeches, white stockings and clogs on the feet. There is a red, double-breasted waistcoat, longer than the more formal, black outfit. This photo was hand-colored so there is a possibility that the colorist chose whatever colors appealed to him/her and did not see the original. The bride costume was purchased by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1894 for 3 pounds, 9 shillings and 6 pence from a Dr. Voight. Some of the costume pieces have dates of 1862 on them, so I assume the total costume has been added to during the years. Also the pictures in the 1912 book show far more petticoats than are used on this model. These pictures also show white blouses and the vest for the women. Sometimes the apron is blue and the jacket is black with a black skirt, so there was not rigid standardization in this district. The coif without the hat is also shown, and the author makes a com- parison with the elaborate coifs of Brittany. Vierlande is on the Elbe River, near Hamburg. The name means four corners or crossroads, so the town must have been a market town.

Park City, UT — The final pieces of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival feature film program fall into place today, as Sundance Institute announces the lineup for Premieres, Documentary Premieres, Midnight, Spotlight, Kids and Special Events. The Festival hosts screenings in Park City, Salt Lake City and at Sundance Mountain Resort January 19-29. Three projects announced today are part of The New Climate, the Festival’s new environmental program: Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman (Documentary Premieres), Look & See: A Portrait of Wendell Berry (Spotlight) and RISE (Special Events). John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, “Some of the most pressing themes that we can trace through the Festival lineup — the environment, political upheaval, social change — are distilled to their very human essences in both comic and dramatic stories. These stories, and the conversations they spark, start here and will extend well beyond the mountain and the Festival in the months ahead.” Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival, said, “Powerful visions of our times — past, present and future — resound throughout these sections. Inspired storytellers are shining a light on urgent issues or providing an exhilarating escape from them.
