Author Topic: lining of gowns, doublets, etc Marianne Member Member # 223 posted 11-22-2007 04:09 AM                   Hello! I seem to remember an thread on historical linings, but just can't find it now. Can anyone suggest a good source of info on historically accurate lining? I find info on the layers, but nothing on how lining and garment are joined, seam finishes, that sort of thing... Thanks!

There are some nice late 13th century or early 14th century images showing the interior of fur lined cloaks, that give an idea as to how thata sort of lining was undertaken. -------------------- Bob R.

But I'm also interested in earlier periods. Thanks!

Howard Household books talk about different types of doublet and long gown linings from linen to fur. -------------------- ad finem fidelis Registered: May 2000  |  IP: Logged Gwen Member Member # 126 posted 11-26-2007 08:48 AM                   St John Altarpiece, 1455-60 by Rogier van der WEYDEN Registered: Feb 2001  |  IP: Logged Marianne Member Member # 223 posted 02-06-2008 07:57 AM                   Thank you both!! I'll try to find a detail of that. At least how the edges are done is quite clear. Thanks! Marianne, still working on that dress... Registered: Sep 2001  |  IP: Logged
