Mary Diamond Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 Ah! Very well, William. Shall I consider the measurements the same from year to year? Oooh, shiny!

Cheeky Actress Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Oh...lovely work there Mad Mary! Nice details too! Is that 'faggitting' (sp?) I see? How much more would that be? Member of "The Forsaken"

William Brand Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 It is very cruel to dangle a nice looking shirt in front of me when 2008 hasn't even begun yet and PIP is 340 days away. That said, I'll take mine with everything.
Mary Diamond Posted January 1, 2008 Author Posted January 1, 2008 Oh...lovely work there Mad Mary!Nice details too! Is that 'faggitting' (sp?) I see? How much more would that be? Yes, though I have now seen it spelled 3 different ways! Not sure of the spelling myself, I used fagot, as spelled here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fagot stitch The stitching would be $15 additional. Oooh, shiny!
Capt. Sterling Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 ah what the heck...the fancy embroidery at the neck...snigger "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

Cheeky Actress Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Okay...what's the turn around time? Any chance people can get one before RF4? Member of "The Forsaken"
Mary Diamond Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Delivery time will be 6 to 8 weeks from date payment is received. I am sorry, Cheeky, but no, it would not be possible for turnaround by RF4 ~ Oooh, shiny!
Cheeky Actress Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 Thank you Mary for letting me know... No special treatment for the Mistress, eh? Member of "The Forsaken"
Mary Diamond Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 Umm, well, ah, that is to say... private arrangements and all... Oooh, shiny!
Cheeky Actress Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Okay, I've been asked this question by a friend. Would black work (cuffs only) on these shirts be considered period correct? And if so, how much extra? Member of "The Forsaken"
Cheeky Actress Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 'ello? No answer for the question below? Member of "The Forsaken"
Mary Diamond Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 My apologies for the delay. I am only on the Pub once or twice a day at present. Blackwork considerably predates GAoP, and had lost popularity by the 17th century. I personally have not seen any English, French or Dutch portraits from GAoP which have shown blackwork of any kind. Should your friend come across any examples, I would be interested in seeing them. Oooh, shiny!
Capt. Sterling Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Should your friend come across any examples, I would be interested in seeing them. so would I "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

Captain Midnight Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 That is one of the most beautiful shirts I have ever seen, Mary! And the buttons! The buttons are magnificent! "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
Cheeky Actress Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I don't think my friend has any historical proof that 'black work' was still about in the mid 1600s/early 1700s. I just think she likes the look. Perhaps its just a float over of her days doing Queen Elizabeth at RenFaire. Member of "The Forsaken"
Rats Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 An excellent shirt! No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?!
