Onward and upward....

This entry takes us into the later period and the images and descriptions of the outer and under doublets of Count Friedrich von Stubenberg. Count Friedrich died in 1574 and these are the clothing items he was buried in . The Abegg Foundation completed extensive reconstruction on these articles. For the sake of those who are most interested in images of the restored garments, I will include only those in this post. If anyone *really* wants to see what they looked like in their 'before' condition, just let me know and I will add those images as well.

Again, in keeping with the order I have been presenting these items in my journal (not as they were presented in the original text) , first the 'pretty', then the 'text', then the 'pattern':

'OUTER DOUBLET'

Outer doublet - Front (after cleaning):



Outer doublet - open:



Outer doublet - 'worn':



Outer doublet - back:



Outer doublet - neck detail:



Outer doublet - sleeve detail:

"529 As this is a garment worn over an inner doublet with sleeves, the outer sleeves have no purpose and are attached 'blind' to the back of the armhole"



Outer doublet - front detail:



Outer doublet - skirting detail:



On to the 'INNER DOUBLET'

Inner doublet - front:



Inner doublet - open:



Inner doublet - 'worn':



Text associated with this section in the book (sorry for the cut-and-paste nature of these...:





And finally, the PATTERNS:

Outer doublet:



Inner doublet:
