Fooduary Day 4: Mixed Berry Tart
Tarts are an old, old, old kind of food. However it wasn’t until the invention of enriched dough (shortcrust) in the 1550s that the pastry outside (previously called coffin because it was effectively a box-plate for the edible center) was meant to be eaten with the filling. With this one it's more about the colors being a mixed berry palette than something more literal like some of the others but this is supposed to be a for fun challenge so I'm not sweating over it. Maybe the others are too cheesy?

Tudor Barbie (Princess and the Pauper)
Why tudor era, you may ask? Isn't everyone making her a rococo queen since the movie is visually set during that era?
Well... I went in a different direction because of this lil note

Historical sewing adventures with Jensen time!
I made this jerkin FOREVER ago (before I moved in February), finally made some trunk hose to go with it and wore it out to the local Ren Faire today!
I do have a doublet of the same mustard wool broadcloth I’ve been steadily working on as well that’s almost done, but it’s missing its sleeves and closures, and I made the executive decision last night at around midnight that the local faire was not worth staying up until the wee hours to make about 16 buttons and hand sew just as many buttonholes, and honestly the outfit was fine without. It’s not like most people at an average Faire here in America are going to know as much as I do about men’s fashion during the reign of Elizabeth I, and it’s really not the point of them. I just wanted an excuse to finally have punkin pantss.
I want to make a cape eventually too. For peak cuntitude.
Though I gotta say, the little dangly earring was doing a lot for me in that department.

Can you answer this?
So the post reads:
So like ... did french hoods have a chin strap or nah? Because some portraits show the wearer as having one. And some don’t. One wonders if the portraits with the missing straps is evidence of the artist taking creative liberties to create a more streamlined look or if perhaps there was another was to secure the hood to the head? Pins maybe?
There's no hard evidence either way, but it seems to me more probable that there were french hoods without the chin strap.
The modern understanding of french hoods is that it's made up from two separate parts. There's the cap and the hood. The cap is the part that has stiffening (especially in 1540s) while the hood is folded on top of it. The earlier French hoods show the construction clearer as they were not yet as stiff and smoothly folded. This portrait from 1520s shows pretty nicely the cap and the hood.
Tumblr media
Under everything is the white linen cap of which only the edge is showing. On top of it is the red cap made from a fashion fabric and secured clearly with a chin strap. It has very little stiff structure if at all. The black hood is then pinned into the cap and it's edge is turned to reveal the white lining, which creates the iconic (though still understated at this point in time) crescent shape of french hood. Here in this statue from around the same time the folding of the hood is seen even clearer.
Tumblr media
The fold shows a small crescent of the brownish lining. The half-folded strip of fabric along the edge of the hood with the gold trimming is probably what people at the time called billiments. Billiments were either just the gold or jewel trimming along the hood edge or strip of fabric with the trimmings attached to it, that would then be attached probably with pins or baseting stitches to the hood. The fabric billiments made it possible to change the adornments of the hood to change it's look. In this depiction I think it's safe to say that the white cap into which the hood is attached to was very much not secured with chin strap, but with a tape that probably goes around the head under the hood. The cap seems already to have a bit of structuring on it's visible edge.
Here's a portrait with just the cap from around 1520s or 1530s. It's edge clearly is stiffened and probably secured with the stiffening and white tape that goes around the hair and would be hidden by the hood. Because the edge of the cap is stiffened it doesn't need the chin strap to keep it's shape. Possibly, if the weight of the hood would be added here and pinned to the cap, it might need a chin strap to keep it well secured.
Tumblr media
Later in 1540s the crescent of the hood becomes larger, it becomes more structured and the points of the cap in the jawline start curving more dramatically. Here's example of that version of the French hood, first one from 1535-40, second from 1544.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here the structuring is so sleek, it's very hard see that the crescent is the lining of the hood turned very carefully. Some theories suggest that the lining at this point has become a separate piece from the hood, but if you look really closely, you can see that in the first picture there is a thin line that suggests that the white cap is under the white crescent that's likely still the folded lining. In the second example the cap itself is white, and the lining is red. In these portraits the billiments have also become very stiffened and almost like thin hair band that probably also keeps the folded lining smooth and in shape.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I go into detail about the construction, because the curving stiff shape of the cap might be the key here. If the earlier cap that had it's points on the jawline straight, could hold the cap alone secured, the newer curved and even stiffer (likely added wire too along the edge) might have been able to keep the hood too secured on it's own (and with the help of the tape that's under the hood). In fact dress historian Samantha Bullat says in her video, where she recreates French hood, that her 1540s French hood probably wouldn't even need the chin strap she added to it. Her video is super great if you want to understand some probable ways of how the hood was constructed (I've learned most of the information here from it).
So in conclusion, there was at least one way to secure the hood without chin strap, but that was with a visible headband, though possibly 1540s more structured French hoods didn't require the chin strap. If I would guess why some of them didn't need the strap, I'd say the hood itself was probably made from a lighter material, maybe lighter lining, and therefore it would have been easier for the strapless cap to hold it's weight. Maybe during summer they had lighter hoods. This is though purely speculation, I haven't read any evidence from that.

Taking advantage of the snow 💜
The sleeves are a pain to fit, but my first Mary Villiers ensemble (inspired by Julianne Moore’s costuming as the lady herself) is street ready. And VERY WARM in the face of all that damp snow.
Standby for bad videos of me with the trailer “if I was a man and I looked like you…” voice over.
Dress is also appropriate to be your friendly neighborhood witch ;)
(For the record, Mary Villiers was an awful person and I don’t aspire at all to her. I just think Julianne Moore is beautiful and talented as hell, and I’m a sucker for excellent costuming.)

‘ZOUNDS !
I call this look ‘fairy peasant goes to market’. I was inspired by several centuries’ worth of fashion- I just couldn’t choose! I made everything except the boots, fichu, and belt 🍃✨🥀

Random observation, but while looking for historical hat references to draw on my OC I realised (halfway through sketching it down) what style Emperor Lelouch’s hat is based on:

Top Left: Emperor Maximilian I, painted 1519
Top Right: Sir Henry Guildford, painted 1527
Bottom: Sir Thomas More (or Saint Thomas More to my Catholic friends), also painted 1527.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Victorian patterns are literally free on the internet. You can find most pre-1920s clothing patterns for free. Look into archives for any scanned pattern books

So, one of the more hilarious realizations i've had about Tolkien's elves, is that if Beleg Strongbow's Todor era ispired outfit is an indicator of what the Fashion trend amongst the Elves of the Kingdom of Doriath, then it means that both Luthien and Thingol most certainly followed suit.
Tumblr media
Luthien's blue dress is both legendary and iconic, but here's how it's described in text.
"Blue was her raiment as the unclouded heaven, but her eyes were grey as the starlit evening; her mantle was sewn with golden flowers, but her hair was dark as the shadows of twilight."
Now there is nothing that says it cant have been a simple robe of some king with golden leaves imagery... But if we take the idea of Tudor fashion at Doriath's court as fact, then the dress Luthien wore during all of her adventures probably looked something more like this, only probably with a more sleeker lower half.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
However, she still has a pretty nice, beautiful dress.
Now let's move on to Thingol.
Tumblr media
Everyone knows Thingol, guy who married a Maia, father of Luthien, and the asshole overprotective dad who set Beren on the path that would send both him and Luthien towards Angband, who mellowed out a bit after his grandkid was born, and eventually took in Turin as his foster son.
He might not be the most pleasent guy(unless you're reading The Tale of Turin), but he's a pretty important character within Tolkien's story, who has a lot of iconic moments.
Tumblr media
Him and his future wife falling heads over heels at each other, and communicating exclusively through thoughts for years after.
Tumblr media
Him taking Turin Turambar as a foster son during the doomed soul's younger years.
Tumblr media
Or his famous issue of the challenge for Beren to bring back a Silmarill for his daughter's hand, expecting him to die trying.
Now, every single time you remember those events, or read those passages again, remember that Thingol probably is not wraring the sterotypical Elven Robes you'd expect from an Elven Lord.
No, as King he would be the man responsible more than anyone else for the fashion in his Kingdom and court, and so, he would probably be wearing something like this during all his moments during the Silmarillion.
Tumblr media
Basically Henry the 8th's famous outfit, only a bit sleeker, wearing a crown, and hopefully withouth the codpiece XD
