With its haunting melody, and the romantic myth that it was written by #HenryVIII as a love song for #AnneBoleyn, Greensleeves has remained popular over the centuries and today, is probably the best known of all #Tudor #songs.

However there is no proven connection to Henry VIII, and the earliest mention of the broadside ballad called #Greensleeves was not until September 1580, (some 33 years after his death). It was an immediate hit, and a number of imitations and parodies were produced in the following months and years.

Our recording uses the text from 'A Handful of Pleasant Delights', 1584 - the earliest surviving source. There are many verses, some of which contain lovely descriptions of #Elizabethan clothing and other aspects of #MaterialCulture

Richard de Winter: baritone
Robin Jeffrey: lute
Alison Kinder: bass viol

Coming off our summer hiatus, FSW talks to Kate Strasdin about #dresshistory, the value of #storytelling, and how #luxury brands are preserving the artisanal nature of #fashion.

Very excited about this one as Kate is an absolutely lovely person and one of my favourite people to follow on social media with her unique take on dress history.

Lady Anne's mantua has the classic 1730s wide, slightly short sleeves ending in boxy, turned-up cuffs, making it clear that her sleeve ruffles are attached to her shift rather than the gown. The point of this style of sleeve was to show the fullness, fineness, and clean condition of the shift (but also just that ... fashions change, and you've got to have your mantua in the newest cut). #fashionhistory

The original is here, by the way: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/hogarth-the-strode-family-n01153

Notice that, contrary to what you may have heard about Beau Brummell, there's a gendered distinction in the brightness of clothing. The men are all in darker colors, in stark contrast to Lady Anne's pale pink. (The colonel is an exception, but the muted flamboyance of his red, blue, and glittering gold outfit relates to his military profession.)

This is also prior to the general adoption of hair powder in England. It wasn't fashionable through the entire century! #FashionHistory

Another really common construction in both of my Edwardian books (this one is 1900-1906, the other is 1907-1909) is for skirts to be made with a bunch of gores - that was the best way to get that trumpet line, by physically cutting the skirt narrow in the thigh and flaring each piece out separately. However, a) I don't want a very trumpet-shaped skirt, I want fullness, and b) if I have to do 5+ vertical seams for a skirt I simply will not end up finishing it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #FashionHistory

My kid just scored this Vivienne Westwood Anglomania asymmetrical raw-hemmed half-placket high-low (like a c1810 cutaway) cotton lawn blouse at a vintage shop for an unreal price (yay!) We’ve handwashed it in Soak, another lovely use for clotheslines. Based on label fabric and style’s similarity in deconstructive mode to a cape-backed high-low-sleeve black stretch wool sweater I used to own, I think it’s from the 00s. Anyone recognize? #fashion #fashionhistory #costumehistory #VivienneWestwood

Based on years of research, fashion historian Kendra van Cleave's new book "Dressing à la Turque: Ottoman Influence on French Fashion, 1670–1800" will be published next month! Having attended Kendra's lectures on this topic and chatting with her about it briefly when I met her in person last year, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

Mainly I think I wanted an excuse to have Aziraphale wear this 1872 summer day gown. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/80020275 #FashionHistory

J'étais passée à côté de ça mais apparemment, on aurait trouvé une dent de mégalodon dans les restes du Titanic ?
Et comme d'hab, Abby Cox fait un excellent travail d'analyse et de contexte. (en anglais, sous titres quali)

And a last little shot of the gauging of the skirt from the inside. #FashionHistory

The same style of sleeve as yesterday, too, but made ... better. Just more neatly, higher quality, includes piping, etc. (Yesterday's example had almost no piping anywhere - just in the armscyes.) At the wrist, the two sides are made to overlap and fasten with hooks and thread eyes. Teeny little wrists, too. This gown's wearer was pretty small. #FashionHistory

Basic, normal construction with a single large dart on either side that goes up very high. 1830s-1840s darts are often a lot longer than we would make them today, which I think reflects how high the bust point would be in the rather flattening corsets of the period. (Which you need for a fan-front bodice like this, I've found.) #FashionHistory

Second gown that I patterned yesterday! From roughly the same time as the other (ca. 1845). This one is, I think, a wool/silk blend. I love how well wools tend to keep the brightness of their prints! This is a much nicer, better-made piece. #FashionHistory

Of course there is a pocket! And you can see the older textile used as a hem facing. #FashionHistory #sewing
