I have broken the section down to the individual areas that I am researching, men's, ladies, accessories and of course a bibliography of where to find images and references.Also is a reference to more of the styles of embroidery highlighted in the articles and my thoughts on possible stitch types. During the discussion of the various styles of clothing and the possible techiniques used, I will be using the modern embroidery terms for easier understanding

Buttons - two types of construction
This demonstration is specifically concerned with the construction of buttons from textile and other organic elements. The reasons for this are twofold. First, most people do not have access to casting equipment but they do have access to thread, cloth and wooden beads. Second, by constructing the buttons for a particular piece of clothing out of thread or cloth, the button can match or contrast in color with the garment.

Gores and Gussets
Ever make a shirt that was too tight across the chest or restricted arm movement? Ever make a pair of pants that were too tight in the seat? Ever make a skirt or shirt that was too narrow to fit over your hips? Ever wonder what tailors in period did to fix these same types of mistakes? Venture forth, intrepid costumer, into the Land of Gores and Gussets!

How to make a 13/14c silk hairnet
Great step by step instructions with pictures. It's my opinion that these hairnets were meant more as decoration than a practical method of controlling loose hair. Illustrations I've seen show hair that is carefully arranged in side braids or buns beneath the net, just as it would have been without. If a circlet and veil was appropriate, or a barbette and filet, then these were worn in addition to the hairnet.

Simple 'turban' wrap for the head
There are many ways to tie a turban. The final look of the turban will depend on the length of your cloth, the heaviness of the fabric and your wrapping skill. The turban cloth can be twisted as you wrap, or can be wrapped flat creating a smoother shape. Experiment with variations on these themes.

Smock pattern generator
If you wanted to make a smock, you'd use a fine cotton fabric such as batiste, gauze, or, if you're making a chemise for a lower-class character, a cotton fabric with a slightly roughter weave. It is, alas, difficult these days to find linen in your local fabric store woven finely enough for a noblewoman's chemise;

The Use of Lower Grade Silks in the Renaissance
When choosing fabrics for the recreation of Renaissance clothing, I have always been told that you should never use slubby silk or silk noil. The common theory passed on by numerous respected costumers is that these fibers would have been considered waste products not up to the high standards of silk manufacturers or consumers during the period, and these materials would have never been used to make fabric for personal garments. Although I have not seen documentation to support this conclusion, I accepted it as fact and proceeded to tell others that silk fabrics such as douppioni were not historically correct because of the imperfections in the weave. But recently, I stumbled across a book that gives an abundance of evidence documenting the use of lower grades of silk in the 16th century, and uncovers another side to the story that has largely been ignored. This article is intended to share this newfound knowledge based on Luca Mola's research in "The Silk Industry in Renaissance Venice".
