Another Early Tudor Blogger
(cross posted from my main blog: http://www.kimiko1.com/blog/?p=280)
Just have to share another blog here, that of Challe, who is an American SCAer living in England with her family, and taking the time to visit and photograph the effigies there in search of late 15th & early 16th century garments and headdress styles. She has shared a few of her images with me over the past year or so, from time to time, but has yet to publicly share the images on her blog until now.
Knowing that I am going to be basing my laureling gown and headdress on the 1510s style, she has posted this page in order for me to see what she has found, and her thoughts on it, and it is very interesting. From its headdress to how the woman wears her girdle, clothing details of the husband (in a long gown, not armor), and little details among the weepers.
Please, if you are interested in this time period, give the page a look.

And after looking at her images, I know what sort of girdle I want, how to wear it, and also which headdress I will be using. Thanks so much Challe for your blog post. :-)
