PP41..........$24.95

Woman's styles in early Renaissance Germany developed from the Italian Renaissance styles but, like the men's fashions, went far beyond the Italian creations.  Cartridge pleating was used extensively at the waist, and guards (trim of a contrasting fabric) became fashionable on the bodice and skirt.  The bodice evolved one version with a cut-away front spanned by a bust band of another, elaborately decorated fabric, below which the bodice was laced together over the chemise (Period Patterns no. 90) or a plastron.  High standing collars became popular.  Sleeves were slashed in many different ways, although less wildly than the men's sleeves, and different styles were tied, laced or sewn on.  The bustband was also occasionally slashed.  The chemise showed under the slashes, and was often elaborately decorated when it showed at the neck.  Decoration was rich, and jewels and metallic embroidery were often used.

PP46.......$24.95

The Tudor period  marked the beginning of the Renaissance in England, and fashion (especially after 1509) reflected the change.  Henry VII, who usurped the throne in 1485, was extremely frugal, and fashion changed slowly during his reign.  Henry VIII inherited the throne with a large treasury at the age of 18, and the court blossomed.  He was insecure, aggressive, blatantly masculine and suddenly extremely rich. All of which reflected in the opulent new fashions, especially for men.  During Henry's reign, styles for both sexes combined elements of German, Spanish and Italian fashions, with heavy French influence overall.  The quintessence of what is usually thought of as "Tudor" fashion is shown in view IV for men, and view V for women.                   As befitted their role in society, woman's fashions were somewhat less flamboyant then the men's.  The kirtle was almost identical to a cotehardie (Period Patterns no. 21), with the addition of cuffs.  The skirts started to be cut separately from the bodice, with the cut of the bodice neck line becoming square.  The adoption of tight corsets and Spanish farthingales (Period Patterns #90) early in Henry VIII's reign. The style developed into the silhouette of a small cone inverted into a larger one.  To allow more variety, the underskirt and under sleeves we not sewn to the gown.

The late Tutor period was a time of transition and uncertainty with 3 rulers in 11 years (not to mention Lady Jane Grey, who only ruled for 9 days), and the country endured violent switches from Protestant to Catholic and back to Protestant again.   Very few new elements of woman's style appeared during Edward's short reign.  During Mary's reign, through her marriage to Phillip, Spanish styles (favoring dark colors) were reintroduced, but the basics of the previous styles remained the same, and men's fashions were more flamboyant than women's.  The elements of women's styles, including the Spanish farthingale (Period Pattern no. 90), lasted into the 1570's.  However, under Elizabeth's rule woman's fashions came to dominate the court.  In the 1570's the drum farthingale (Period Patterns #90) radically changed the shape of woman's skirts.  Other less sweeping changes also occurred, such as the high standing ruffs. "Elizabethan" styles lasted well after her death in 1603 - the new king saw no reason to pay for new clothes for his queen when Elizabeth had left such an extensive, ornate  wardrobe.

Women's Undergarments, Ruffs, Collars & Cuffs., offers patterns for 5 chemises, 2 corsets 2 partelets, 2 ruffs, 2 bumrolls, 3 collars and cuffs (sizes 8-18 included).        Chemises were worn for comfort, to keep body dirt off the outer clothes, and for sleeping.  They were also often allowed to show for decoration at the neck, wrist and/or through slashes in the sleeve (Period Patterns nos. 41, 51 & 56).  Corsets, farthingales (hooped petticoats) and bumrolls reshaped the body into a fashionable silhouette.  These undergarments as well as partelets, ruffs, collars and cuffs were worn for style and social status (the more elaborate and constricting a piece of clothing was, the less practical, thus denoting the higher status of the wearer).  Many styles are not complete without the proper undergarments, and others will not have the right shape.                                                                                        PP90......$24.95

Capes and Tabards., c. 650-1650, provides patterns for 13 capes, 3 separate hoods, a tabard, small capelet, and a ganache (sized for chests 16" to 54").       Throughout the "dark ages" (the early medieval period) capes were indispensable for protection against the weather, as well as fashionable articles of clothing in their own right.  They were worn by both sexes of all classes and ages.  While there were some variations, the same basic capes were found throughout extended Europe.  In the Middle Ages the cut of capes became more sophisticated, and many new variations appeared.  Tabards and ganaches reflected the growing preoccupation with fit and fashion.  In the Renaissance, these changes led to capes often being reduced to more of a  fashion accessory than serious protection against cold or wet weather.                                                      PP92........$24.95
