I began to sew a cloak ispired by Hollar's costume study of a woman at a time when I was just starting to reenact, when I didn't know much about 17th century fashion. Apart from the lack of knowledge about what a woman's costume looked like at that time, I also didn't know for a long time what country my very first historical outfit would be inspired by.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In frauenzimmer<\/a><\/h5>

Before I discovered prints of Wenceslas Hollar, I was fascinated by the print of a countrywoman from Prague from the book In frauenzimmer (1586). The woman has a cloak with a fur collar over several layers of clothing and the layer directly under the cloak looks like another cloak of longer dimensions with a fur lining. (I found this source a few years ago on the website krea.wt.cz, which is no longer functional and therefore the link is no longer functional. I try to solve the problem of outdated links by regularly clicking on the blog, but I do not always have enough time and therefore I apologize if you came across an outdated link - it's not an inertial state, all old links will be replaced with the functioanl ones as soon as I can find the source on another link. Thank you for your understanding.)<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I was most interested in the pattern of this Spanish preserved \u200bcloak. I didn't know the sources enough. I had only a small number of them at the time, and one of them was Janet Arnold, who has several men's cloaks in Patterns of Fashion 3: The Cut and Construction of Clothes for Men and Women C. 1560-1620. However, they were all men's and it was a half-circle cut. Rather, I wanted the whole circle so that the cloak would not open and warm me as much as possible. I simply needed to replace the blanket, the cloak was to play this role. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What I liked most about Hollar's women is the different lengths, widths and sizes of their cloaks and collars. I talked about them with the historian Mgr. Ji\u0159\u00ed Louda, who leads our army \u2013 Regiment zemsk\u00e9 hotovosti. I quote his observations on the Hollar's cloaks from our correspondence: \u201cThey can be both semicircular and three-quarter and round. However, the rectangular or trapezoidal collar is often not fitted along the entire space around the head, but only over the back, so that the front parts of the cloak can be decoratively folded like lapels with the lining on top, without in any way preventing the collar from flowing over the shoulders and back. This adjustment also contributes to the fact that the semicircular pattern also has enough \"material\" at the front so that it can be closed completely if necessary and does not open.\"<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The pattern of the surviving cloak, which I used in part, consists of several triangular-shaped panels and is found in the aforementioned publication from Janet Arnold: Patterns of Fashion 3: The Cut and Construction of Clothes for Men and Women C. 1560-1620 (p. 36).<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I was fascinated by the seams on the cloak, which connect the pattern composed of several triangular panels (with a rounding at the bottom). Often such cloaks were also only decorated with stripes that resembled a triangular pattern, so the cloak was not cut from individual triangles, but was only decorated with braids where the seams of the joined triangles would be.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I chose for my cloak a 35-year-old wool of lighter weight from the Belgrade Woolen Combine (BVK), which no longer exists. I owe this to my mother, who was working in a combine at the time. Although the wool is thinner, it was enough for me for the purpose of a warm layer over several costumes. I was planning from the beginning linen lining, a kind of interlining (a material used as a special lining between an ordinary lining and an upper fabric) and internal fur insulation. I didn't know what this insulation was supposed to look like until the last moment, because I had been dealing with the problem of fur allergy for a long time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

After sewing the individual parts, I decided that I could leave the two triangles aside, because the cloak covered me well. I rounded the future cloak with a cord.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I also cut out the collar from the yellow linen lining and the upper fabric and sewed it to the cloak. The idea was to sew on this yelllow linen the mentioned fur.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I sewed the edges of the lining, I hid it under the woolen edge so I can sew the fur on a stronger fabric - wool. Unfamiliar with period stitches, I used an unnecessarily large hand stitch.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I sewed three eyelets and hooks on the cloak on the area under the neck - on the chest. Than the sewing process stopped for five years. I wore the cloak unfinished and wondered if I should sew the fur. Due to numerous allergies and asthma I began to abandon the idea of \u200b\u200bsewing fur. But how to finish the cloak? If I left the yellow lining, I would have to sew the hem again, so it will have a period look. But first it occurred to me to leave the lining as the middle layer and sew a warm third layer instead of fur, for example a warm wool lining. But, apart from the fact that I don't know if the interlayer was ever made on the cloaks, and five years later I wanted historical accuracy, I was also not at all sure if the interlayer was practical. If I got wet in my cloak, it could just retain moisture and dry for a long time. So I decided to put the linen lining completely away, to completely abandon the idea of \u200b\u200bsewing any fur and sew only a warm wool lining, warmer than the top fabric of the cloak. I evaporated the lining and left only the upper part of the cloak - triangles and a collar.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

With the transformation of the lining of the cloak, the first visions of its decoration were created. As a mother on parental with two very small children, I am not always allowed to sit down at the PC and outline ideas. That's why I had to quickly notice the decoration inspiration on my phone. These three ideas were created. Of all the variants, I liked the most the one with two ribbons \/ decorative braids at the edge of the cloak, one along the entire length of the fastening (including the collar) and around the perimeter below and above the collar. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I hesitated for a moment what decorative material to use. I knew I wanted a cloak with black stripes. At first I came up with decorative braids, which are preserved, and at home we once had a replica of viscose. But they seemed to me very ornate. I then hesitated to use a cotton\/woolen twill tape - how much is historically right\/wrong to use it as a decoration? I wanted to decorate the cloak in a simpler style - to use something not very decorative.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the end, I decided to sew a silk ribbon. At first, the silk seemed very flashy, but it suited the status of my costume and the use of strips of silk fabrics is even documented from the Spanish estate inventories. Spanish books assume that the remnants of the fabrics were used for these hems after cutting the clothes. The cloak I made is in Spanish fashion, so the silk ribbon should be fine. (I found out this information when writing to the kostym.cz website - I thank the unknown person who showed interest and advised me.)<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n I have already had experience with sewing these ribbons when I made bows for my pregnancy jacket (you can find the tutorial here as well). The ribbons are really very fine and it is easy to destroy them if pins are used to attach them. This time, however, I was a little smarter and bought clips for the fabric, which not only do not destroy the fabric, but also hold more layers very well. With these clips, the ribbon was attached to the edges of the cloak very easily, and not a piece of thread was pulled out anywhere. (I bought the clips in Tchibo, but they have them anywhere in haberdashery.)<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I was looking for a suitable period stitch to sew silk ribbons on the hem of the costume. I decided on couching stitch, which was used in 17th century to sew braids to the costume. It proved to be a suitable choice. I was afraid of scratching the ribbon, but I chose a fairly suitable stitch and narrower distances from the individual stitches, so I'm happy with the result.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
