stellar_muddleAnyone know any good resources? And or good keywords for googling/phrases to avoid...
Cause Z is collecting ordinance of this time period, so we want the right accessories...
ie clothing.
Specifically Company of St George style stuff.
I know that Reconstructing History has women's clothing patterns. And there are the COSG Dragon editions, but they are redrawings (grumble grumble lack of references in articles grumble grumble) and than tends not to have patterns. Haven't started googling/poking pictorial references/reading in depth yet.
There will probably be poking of The Tudor Tailor for their bias cut fitted hose instructions.
Specifically there have been mutterings on livery issue jackets and watchcoats cause the gunnery crew will definitely be needing those.
References/links added as I go:
The Wikipedia 1400-1500 fashion overview
15th Century Female Flemish Dress: A Portfolio of Images of which there are main painting links including:
here, here, here and here*
These include image of working clothing, but it is all early 15th C Les Tres Riches Heures du Jean, Duc de Berry and Simon Bening, The DaCosta Hours.
There also The secrets of burgundian costuming (late 15th C stuff) including Making 15th century front-laced kirtles and Kirtles with no waistseam" and Kirtles with a waistseam NB I get severe virus warnings from Avast when I try and check her main home page (one of the reasons I haven't just linked to it directly). No such warning from the pages I have linked to though.
And an article on Burgundian here(pdf, later half 15th C, Northern Europe, especially Burgundy and Flanders).
* More included cause while it is a weird hat, and I am not certain I like the gown, I can definitely do that hair...
PS And wrt the previous post, found bits of loom - they had been put in the clothing chest for safe transport. How awfully sensible of me - if I could have just remembered that fact. The winding up with bits of fabric in between warp threads helped amazingly and there was not the hour or more of untangling before use that occurred before the tourney at Crown.

Date: 2009-05-10 06:10 am (UTC)Al has done a fair bit of talking with the St George guys and has done a bit on costuming. Z can have a chat with him about the garb, etc if he's keen. I haven't found much on that time period for women myself.
