Dutch Costume, redux

More linkies

Hmmm, I haven't played with this website before. Interesant, no?

I like the headpiece here:

This looks like one of my cheese ladies, dressed down and aged. Hmmmm....

And as evidence for the gal who said on SCA-garb that the Dutch were Puritanical and preferred plain dress, I offer:

There's that funny lined/piped partlet again. Plain dress, simple lines - goldworked chemise.

The puritanical movement was just that, a movement.

That would be like saying all Canadians wear puffy down parkas in the winter...

So what have you decided to make for yourself?

And fairly late in the 16th century, besides. I'd be willing to date the infamous Cheese Ladies to pre-1575, based on the embroidery on their hemds. They often mention Mary, which suggests that they predate the massive swing to Protestantism in the North.

I've started one of those gowns myself. Frankly, because I think it's cool, and because it will make pretty good maternity garb.

I'd really like to do something based on that black and white ensemble at some point. NOT such great maternity garb. So maybe next fall. And maybe in another color. P'raps a REALLY dark navy. *g* We'll see. Bet if I look I can find some dotted swiss for the cuffs!
