| Two outfits, some items made to order, some items taken from our limited stock, for Chesterfield Museum and Art Gallery. These outfits were worn on the occasion of a visit to Chesterfield by HM The Queen. The man's outfit consists of a linen undertunic (not seen, for obvious reasons), a woollen tunic in a herringbone twill pattern and trimmed with woollen tablet braid hand made by Steve 'the Weave', hosen and braies, a dark green woollen hood, and finally, a semi circular cloak, in a green / grey (almost tweed) patterned wool. The woman's outfit comprises a linen underdress (again not seen), a woollen dress, in blue with red contrasting gores and sleeve linings, a mantle, and a veil. At the request of the client, (the lady in the picture), the dress was left unhemmed, so that she could hem it herself (she explained that she likes hand sewing). |
