It makes sense. I mean have you every tried fight with a pistol and cutlass in a skirt?! Trousers make sense in battle even if everyone knows your a woman!
Actually Maria, I fight rapier and short sword in skirts and handle the guns as well in proper female attire...
I will not fight in anything other, unless the mud is to my calves and then well i do not want to be weighed down and that only happened once. I have never had a problem fighting in skirts and bodices.

Ok, there are a few on this board that will go to Hawkyns when there is a question on powder. As well have worked with him at various events. He is a respected gunner and holds the title Master Gunner for many an organization including a large SCA event every summer.
There are many that take his word as gold when it comes to purchasing and even thinking of purchasing a piece. But when it comes to powder there are no games at all when he is there, all powder is handled safely and in a controlled enviroment.
And if there are any that have questions ask... don't sit there and hem and haw about it, this is not a chat on what is for dinner. We need to put in to place a person that knows what they are doing because i was near someone with a extremely heavy load and am still having a problem with my hearing as they did not warn me that they were going to fire it. That is something i do not wish to relive...

My big comment is following her cutting lines or tracing as it is for me, I tried one of her patterns for a womens 17th century jacket and could not tell which line went to where as there was not much description even on the pattern itself.
And thanks for the heads up Rhumba on the sizing as if i do attempt her pattern again and at this time a big if. I will have no choice but to do a muslin piece in advance. Though as I said following the lines on the actual pattern, it is not easy to follow when there are 2 different cutting lines for 2 different jackets on the same piece.
Again Kass this is just my cunstructive critisism.

I am far from being prudish, but if my ex husband saw my 10 year old son looking at that he would fly off the handle and he looks at the board from time to time...And as a mother I would have a problem with it if he was looking at it too.
There is a place for pictures like that and this is not one of them...
And considering the job i just quit you would understand...

Christine this may sound a bit strange , but did you try a fetish shop or adult boutique to see if they may have them... they have them in the ones here... good luck.

It came out very well Capt... you should be proud of the work you and your neighbor did... and you can always age the brass a bit so that it looks older and not so shiny.

Ok I have to sell my beloved Fallen Angel Corset which i bought last year.. it had gotten too big for me. It is a silver and black brocade with steel busking in the front and laces in the back.
Classic Victorian Corset (100)
The Classic Victorian is our most popular corset. Especially slimming with black satin side panels, the Classic flatters every figure type and is available in all in-house fabrics.
Our Price: $329.00
This is directly from the website. it is a corset size 30 i paid the above price for it and it is in mint condition. i do have pics of it and am willing to let it go for 225.00 + shipping. the pics i can email to you if you wish.
If this is something you are looking for and wish more info please let me know. I really do not want to sell it, but the stays are touching in the back and they are supposed to be about 3 inches apart...
please personal message me if you have any questions..
thanks,
Kathryn Ramsey

"In Janet Arnold's Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd, however, the longer legged pair (see left) has been identified as a woman's pair of drawers, and also photographed from the other side - a side which shows an embroidered opening from waistband to crotch.
Arnold describes them as "white linen drawers, or hose, embroidered with colored silks and gold and silver metal thread, possibly for a woman."
It is not certain which way the opening was intended to face. Speculation has it that the opening was to the back, but to me this makes no practical sense, unless we conjecture that it is just as easy (or difficult) to access and use the button closure at the back under long skirts as it is to access it at the front under long skirts. It also doesn't sound as plausible, to me, that an opening situated behind one's back should be embroidered. However, we don't really know anything for sure, so I could be completely off."

I found this information about ladies drawers on a web site i got from the Wenches Forum :
"From the Moors to the Spanish: "Unmentionables in our period were mentioned but not illustrated for the noble ladies of Spain. The Duchess of Alburquerque’s inventory (1479) includes linen drawers and their white silk cords, presumably for tying about the waist. There are also 9 white ribbons carrying white and gold aglets that had belonged to drawers. The Empress had drawers of yellow satin trimmed with strips of cloth of silver, together with blue and white silk stockings....The Fact that the Empress’s (Isabel of Portugal) zaraguelles were accompanied by stockings suggests that her drawers also reached to the knees, and that drawers and stockings may have been joined, perhaps with agleted laces as men’s upper - and netherstocks could be joined." Anderson also mentions an interesting titbit: Queen Juana's (1509-1555) drawers, "bluntly termed breeches, were lined with white fur"."
Here is the link there is also a good deal of information on womens garb...

Ok so what did the fashion experts on the ships just flip thier hand and say 'Oh no these are all wrong we need something else?'
I seems hard to accept that 50 years between something that works they decide not to wear them. The men on these ships were not into fashion... If they were then they would wear what all the dandy's on shore were wearing whether it was harder to wear or not.
I would like to see where you got your documentation from though Kass.
