By Lisa J. Yarde When the Normans crossed the Channel and invaded England in 1066, they brought a new culture, language, architectural style and legal codes to the conquered country. They also replaced at least ninety percent of the landed aristocracy with members of their own class. The new Norman nobility could afford to be fashionable with their increased lands and wealth. At first, they wore costumes that would have been familiar to their English counterparts, having encountered the Norman retinue of King Edward the Confessor prior to the Conquest. The types or colors of dyes used for fabric, the quality of the fabric, and embellishments including embroidery or colored, ornamented braid known as passements, indicated class distinctions. For instance, the nobility had access to fine linen, woolen cloth and later, silk, but the average person would have worn a homespun cloth of russet or coarse wool. Clothing styles for women often changed; the tight-fitting sleeves for women’s dresses in the late eleventh century became elongated during the reign of King Stephen, only to revert to the former fashion in the late twelfth century. The Crusades also influenced fashion, with the introduction of silk and the surcote, modeled on twelfth-century Persian garments. From 1066 through the 1130’s, the dress of a Norman noblewoman followed the example at the left, a representation of Queen Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror. In this representation of William’s diminutive queen, she wears a white robe as her outermost garment. Embroidery decorates the wrists and neckline of the robe. The bodice is form-fitting, while the skirt widens at the hips and falls in folds. Although not visible, it's likely she wears a camise / chemise next to the skin as an undergarment. The material for the undergarment would be chainsil, made from flax into a fine cloth. The girdle, which the Normans also introduced, drapes her hips with tasseled ends trailing almost to the floor. The blue mantle covering the robe also bears the same rich embroidery on its border. Mantles were a distinct mark of the nobility. Cords fastened them across the shoulders. A thin veil, the Norman couvrechef, covers her head. The Normans typically used white cambric or chainsil for the veils. A Norman noblewoman might have worn a circlet of silver or gold to hold the veil in place. The costume of Queen Matilda's granddaughter and namesake from the late twelfth century is shown on the right. She was the daughter of Henry I and fought her cousin Stephen for the English crown during a period known as the Anarchy. Her outermost garment is the bliaut, fashioned from silk and dyed in varying colors. The most noticeable difference is the addition of voluminous sleeves, fitting closer at the shoulder before widening to the wrists. The bliaut also has a wider skirt with many folds. This one is also lined inside with a green material. A billowing red mantle falls around the shoulders and back. A sleeveless corsage over the bliaut seems to have gold or jewels on its surface. Another change is the visible hair in an elaborate style of nearly floor-length braids bound in gold ribbon. The girdle of previous decades remains, but the veil is no longer strictly white. Fashionable Anglo-Norman women also enhanced their costumes with brooches, fastenings for their mantles and girdles ornamented with pearls, gold and silver, precious gemstones and enamels. One standard remained the same no matter the decade. Women always wore long garments covering them from neck to ankles. Lisa J. Yarde writes fiction inspired by real-life events. She is the author of historical novels set in medieval England and Normandy, The Burning Candle,based on the life of Isabel de Vermandois, and On Falcon's Wings, chronicling the star-crossed romance between Norman and Saxon lovers. Lisa has also written Sultana and Sultana’s Legacy, novels set during a turbulent period of thirteenth century Spain,where rivalries and ambitions threaten the fragile bonds between members of a powerful family.

Fukunaga broke onto the scene with gritty gang tale Sin Nombre, so adapting Charlotte Brontë’s classic Victorian novel is both an interesting follow-up and a challenge, considering how many film versions of the book are out there. Fortunately, Fukunaga succeeds entirely in crafting a thrilling love story that looks both classic and refined while feeling fresh and relevant. This comes thanks in no small part to its two talented young stars, Alice in Wonderland’s Mia Wasikowska and Inglourious Basterds’ film-critic hunk Michael Fassbender. Even though the two are far from the homely shut-ins Brontë originally described, the sheer force of their acting and chemistry brings this classic romance to vivid life.

Today, we’d like to show you an interesting and diverse collection of headpieces made by a young seamstress. Her name is Angela Clayton. And she makes clothes of various styles, designs, historical periods, and materials. The matching accessories used with these costumes include headdresses. In her collection, she’s got dozens of hats and headpieces inspired by the fashion of the 1400s, 1500s, 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s.
So. Many. Corsets.
Yesterday afternoon I decided to do a quick post on the three basic accessories; caps, kerchiefs, and aprons. I took a few images of my caps, started to cut a new one out to show shapes, and then decided to find a few quick images for examples. That's when I realized that caps tend to be an object we always use secondary sources for. Most of my examples have been from commercial patterns, others examples, and "how-to" guides for patterning your own. So, I skipped the posting and spent some time trying to find images and drawings of actual caps. Easier said than done. Oh, you find them in many artworks of the time, but they are hardly ever clear enough to make something from. So, here is what I've accumulated. It's mainly focused on the ruffled cap. I'll show my examples and progress tomorrow or Friday. The Lewis Walpole Library has a selection of images which seem to show an abundance of clear caps: Then onto extant examples. Much harder to find, not surprisingly. The Met seemed to have a decent number, although most were labelled 1700-1941. MFA had many that were labelled, only a few were adult caps however. I'm still searching in other databases, let me know if you come across any good examples and I'll try to add them in! This is probably the best example I could find to compare to the above images. It doesn't peak up in the center like most of them do, but it's very similar. A broad date of 1750-1850 doesn't help much. Another ruffled cap, dated 1750-1850 again. An unusually wide hem on the ruffles. This example seems to be shaped with darts in the very back. Dated 1750-99. A cap entirely made of narrow strips of lace sewn together. I'm not exactly sure how this would appear when worn, but I'm curious now. It has a number of drawstrings along it and is shirred very finely at the back. This example and another are very similar in style. A very fluffy example, from the Met, dating 1790-1804. A little late for my time period, but a good example of a round caul and no band. This example is a little earlier, dated 1785-98. It also has a round caul, but is more of a lappet style. The museum labels it as a Mobcap. Late 18th or early 19th century cap, very simple in design. The very back has a separate arc shaped piece rather than gathers to shape it. Another example here shows that more clearly.
