William Brand Posted December 31, 2007 Share 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. Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Diamond Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share 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!

Cheeky Actress Posted January 8, 2008 Share 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Actress Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 'ello? No answer for the question below? Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Diamond Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Midnight Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 That is one of the most beautiful shirts I have ever seen, Mary! And the buttons! The buttons are magnificent!

Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Actress Posted January 9, 2008 Share 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
