Two interesting articles
Mar. 31st, 2004 08:24 amTwo interesting articles
Peckover and Gallyard, Two Sixteenth-century Norfolk Tailors, by Elizabeth Stern, Costume v. 15, page 13-33? (I ran out of money to photocopy the whole thing)
This article details the fabric and clothing found in the account books of Nathanial Stiffkey Bacon, the half brother of Anthony and Charles. The accounts cover the years 1587-97 and are for the clothing made for Nathanial, his two wives and their children. Although the family was Puritan, they did not dress in drab or unfashionable clothing, but rather in the styles and colors befitting a family of their station. Although a wide range of household goods are covered in the account, clothing (including underthings such as paiers of french bodies and Frenche verdieinggale Rolles), materials for making clothing and footwear are in the majority.
Notes of materials that caught my eye:gould lace, clothe of gould, lots of silk thread for embroidery, iiij yards of silk groginn to the altering of Ms Ann's gown (pg18), lots of fringe, viii yardes of yealow taffata sercnet at 7s 4d from London (then goes on to talk about how much it cost to box it and ship it too) (pg. 19).
Clothing given to a Servant of the Late Sixteenth Century in Wales, by Ilid Anthony, Costume v.14, pg 32-40.
Details the clothing that was given to a household servant by her master from the time of her entry into the household until her departure 15 years later on the occasion of her marriage.
The outer garments appear to either be wool or linen that was produced in the house or of fine linen for ruffs and caps that was bought in the town. There is mention of a silk girdle that was bought from the town especially for her at 18d. This article details well the clothing items that an English household servent in a good household or a yeoman's wife would wear during the late Sixteenth century.
