Research Articles:

 

At present this is simply a "wishlist" of articles I would like to write, when I get some time. Please bear with me for a bit longer for these links to be active. Thankyou.

 

    Film and TV Historical Costumes.

    "Dirty Tudors" the myth debunked!

 

        A comparison of  a few films focussing on the 16th Century. The article would analyse and compare the costumes in the films and comment on the authenticity or not of the costumes.

 

        This article would focus on the myth that people in the 16th century didn't wash themselves or their clothes. Also, that their living places were extremely dirty!

 

    "Silk fabrics aren't shiny!"

    Newbies to Re-enactment - creating a persona.

 

        This article is actually a response to a few comments I had concerning my 1549 Bronze Taffeta Gown. Apparently genuine Silk Taffeta and Silk generally isn't shiny!!!!

 

        How does one choose a persona for 1st persona Re-enactment? What problems are found when using a real person? What research is required to make the character believable?
