Costuming Links:

Renaissance

 

Renaissance

These sites cover a wide period of time and most of Europe:

  • The Elizabethan Costuming Page - Drea Leed's one-stop shop for all things Elizabethan.  This is the first web site I came across when I started to get serious about costuming and I am always coming back to it.

  • A Festive Attyre - Jen Thompson is a major influence and inspiration for my costuming.  Her gallery is full of droolerific garb, and her article on hemp boning really is "Everything you ever wanted to know about boning with hemp cord, but were afraid to ask!"

  • Sempstress - More droolerific garb and a series of articles on draping patterns on your dress dummy.

  • Mode Historique - Still more droolerific garb (I sense a pattern developing here) and informative articles (yep, definately a pattern developing) from Sarah Goodman.

  • The Renaissance Tailor - Many informative articles on many subjects, including small (but often overlooked) details such as buttons and gloves.

  • Italian Renaissance Costume Construction - Instructions for an early 16th century Italian dress.
