Historically Accurate Helga Hufflepuff Research
First official HAHH post! Feel free to ignore this, I'm gathering research.
A few of these pics I've already posted, but I am conglomerating here.
Here is an example of 10th century 'Super Tunic' (from A Dictionary of English Costume 900-1900 by C.W. & P.E. Cunnington and Charles Beard):
Some Norman and Saxon ladies, and the detail of fabrics, styles and colours which were in use: (from Historical Costumes of England 1066-1968 by Nancy Bradfield.)
What's that? Black and yellow? Yayyy-hayyy!
Elaborately embroidered borders? Wooooo-hoooooo!
Examples of heraldic gowns from the 14th century: (from Racinet's Full-Color Pictoral History of Western Costume)
And more heraldic gowns - also 14th century: (from Pictoral Encyclopedia of Historic Costume by Kretschmer and Rohrbach)
Saxon dress references (from British Costume from Earliest Times to 1820 by Mrs. Charles H. Ashdown)
And embroidery patterns, also from Mrs. Ashdown:
Noblewomen from a more historically precise era than the heraldic ladies above (circa 1000-1200): (from Pictoral Encyclopedia of Historic Costume by Kretschmer and Rohrbach)
PDFs of relevant sections from library books with which I must part:
Link to Braun Schneider
Link to Lester Kerr
Link to Kretschmer Rohrbach
That is all for now.
This is gonna take a LOT of yellow linen.
