15th Century Bras - upcoming publications
(June 22, 2012)
I have Excellent news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon there will be publications available about the 15th century bras found in the Lengberg castle in Austria.
Beatrix Nutz has told me that she wrote an article on the Lengberg finds for a special "thématiques" issue of the French magazine “Histoire et Images Medievales.” She says the article will be in English and is "(including images of three of the „bras“, the underpants, shirt fragments, dress fragments and even some shoes)." I don't see any information on their website about the particular special issue issue yet, but I'm keeping my eye on it. Beatrix tells me it has been delayed. Current expectation is beginning of August.
She also has an article that will be published in the August issue of the "BBC History Magazine." She says: "It will contain images of two of the “bras” and the underpants (no patterns). As [she] wrote it for a popular audience there´s not much in the way of description of the artifacts to satisfy a scientific mind but it discusses the social acceptance of female underwear in the 15th and 16th century with quotes from some contemporary written sources on the topic."
Even more exciting... she says: "Something else to look forward to: There´s going to be a press release and public presentation of the Lengberg underwear at Lengberg Castle itself end of September (21st to 22nd). [She's] currently working on a booklet to be published for this event which will contain not only images of the finds but also patterns - plus it will be in German and English." The publication of the booklet has yet to be funded but, more details to follow about when and where we can order it once it has been published.

Update: Beatrix Nutx just sent me a link to a short article that has a picture of one of the 15th century bras from the Lengberg castle. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2174568/Found-castle-vault-scraps-lace-lingerie-rage-500-years-ago.html
She also tells me that the BBC History Magazine issue with the article she wrote should be hitting the shelves today (July 17th, 2012) in the UK. http://www.historyextra.com/magazine/next-issue
and that the special issue of Histoire et Images Medievales should be published on August 16th with the article she wrote (although they are translating her article into French).
Don't forget that she will also have an article in NESAT XI's proceedings when they come out later this year. http://www.nesat.org/m2/volume.html
