Could you please include the links for the Flemish working woman's article, as well as the notes for the Florentine dress? I'd like to see them as I'm working on my own dresses. Thank you so much!
Seconded! And I keep seeing pictures of your Venetian ensembles elsewhere on the internet. I'd love to see more of all your Italian Renaissance projects.
Hi! I've admired your work for a long time, but only just started to follow your blog. I came because I wanted to read your article "The use of lower grade silks in the Renaissance". but I see it is offline. Is there anywhere else I can read it, or is it maybe down because you are working on a second edition, maybe? Thank you! :)
Please, please, info on Flemish dress of 14-15 C.
Thank you so much. Jennifer
Hi! Returning to costuming (and your excellent site!) after many years, and I was wondering if you still have your article on cording with hemp. I'm hoping to get something reversible going for War season, and I'd love to get that smooth but rounded look.
Some of the article links aren't working anymore. Any luck you'd have updated links? :)
It is wonderful to see some updates again! I followed your site originally for the SCA (particularly the Italian and German garb) and still tell my friends about the galleries you had assembled (I spent a fair bit of time going through Featured Atttyre). Glad to see you have a muse still inspiring you creations. Looking forward to future dress diaries!
