I've got a lovely osnaburg shift/chemise for sale...in excellent condition...underarm gussets...23 inches laid flat one side pit to pit ...$35.00
Also, a pile of belt buckle bits...not sure of the metal...it's heavy, very detailed...$30.00...I'm sure one of you gentlemen who work with leather could make a wonderful belt or baldric for these parts!
Any takers?

awwww...thanks all!

Thanks Lady B. I'm happy to hear it's more of a "whatever makes you comfortable" type of thing...I've got really beautiful linen stays that Lady Brower made for me that I usually wear on top of everything, and I'm not bothered by the bulk underneath...but, I just made a silk petticoat that I think looks lovely on top of the stays...so I'm glad to hear that it's fine to wear it that way also. I do wear the fichu to protect myself from sunburn, but also so I feel a bit more "dressed", since I don't have a jacket, short gown or mantua...
Even though I think of my persona as a woman with a questionable background, I think she would attempt to look like a lady...;^)
...and thanks to Chole Black and her wonderful blog for the petticoat "recipe". I'm a terrible seamstress, but her simple directions made it a breeze!

Thanks Silkie!

Sorry to move away from the current topic, but I had a quick question regarding petticoats...I've seen examples showing them UNDER stays, and examples showing them OVER stays. What's the proper placement when one doesn't own a mantua (yet!)???
Here's my current clothing "sandwich":
shift
under petticoat
pockets
over petticoat
apron
stays
fichu
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to make some space, so these lovely working stocks and a fantastic tattered old fishing net must go...anyone interested? First to answer here gets the goods...you've got to pick them up from my house a.s.a.p. though, so please keep that in mind. I'm in Sebastian, FL. I'll send you a message with my address. Thanks!

Aye! Capt' Rob is right on the mark! I did indeed wake up with new ink...my lovely husband (and source of the evil drink), had taken the liberty of writing math formulas and drawing arrows and labels for certain body parts...on me belly...grrrrrrrrrrrrr.........he BEST be sleeping with one eye open from now on, as I've got a big Sharpie with his name on it, that scurvy dog!!!!

I haven't bought from them before, but the shoes they have on their site are really nice...about $150 though, still a bit steep, but cheaper than the one's from the UK!

...ughhh...please disregard any douchey, non-politically correct comments that may have been uttered during a whiskey induced episode...but honestly, if you're easily offended, you should probably just suck it, anyway....

...Ohhhhhhhh... that's lovely! It's always interesting to see what I've written after I've been on a bender...I'm going to go throw up now...

I went to this event in 2008...imagine thousands of drunk teenagers (not in costume) acting like little wannabe gangsters, starting fights, puking, walking around with pitbulls...it was like a crappy frat party...with beads. Whoo-whoooo. Not to mention, no place to pee.

Hey, Connie. Apologies this be a bit of a delayed posting...
That's a good question. Vintage Textiles website has a surviving embroidered petticoat but it's from the late 18th c, not the early. However, some etchings do indicate the possibility of embroidered petticoats.
Maybe Cheeky can add some insight here sometime.
~Lady B
Thanks Lady B! I decided to let the petticoat go...sniff sniff...for the money I can get a bunch of linen petticoats, which I'm positive are PC! It was gorgeous though...it looked just like the one on the Vintage Textiles site. Maybe I'll get a small piece of crewel fabric and attempt a stomacher...hmmmm...that would work for GAOP, yes?

I have crewel pockets and have seen a waistcoat with crewel it also. Don't know about the petticoat.
Yup Silkie, I've seen pockets too (so nice!), and I think curtains...damn...the one photo I've seen of a crewel skirt was from the late 18th century...It's just so pretty...I'm trying to will it into being historically correct...where's my Delorean?

Hello all...I'm new to the Pub and working diligently on my GAOP impression. I've got the opportunity to get a beautiful crewel work petticoat at a great price, but I wasn't sure if it was a little too late for the time period...does anyone know if this type of embroidery was done on skirts prior to 1720?
Thanks,
Conny
