1520s- Mary of Hungary

The gown has been dated to the 1520s based on the fabric weave, the style, and probable connection to Mary of Hungary and Louis II. This connection is not yet substantiated by physical, written, or visual evidence outside the aforementioned style and the potential for the garments to have been presented as gifts to the Mariazell shrine by the royal couple while on a pilgrimage around the time of their wedding.

Höllrigl József: Történelmi ruhák a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeumban, pg 208
K. F. Dózsa: Mária királyné esküvői öltözéke az újabb kutatások tükrében

Rough dimensions of the gown are given by J. Höllrigl and V. Ember Mária as follows:

Waist 73 cm
Skirt front is 107 cm
Skirt back 124 cm
Skirt hem 780 cm
Sleeve (inc. cuff) 71 cm
Neckline border 7cm
Cuff 19cm
Bodice length front 30cm (possibly to the join in the guarding rather than the shoulder?)
Bodice back length 36cm (possibly to the join in the guarding rather than the shoulder?)
Skirt hem strip 1.5cm

The gown is made of a green damask, the guarding a gold lampas.

The guarding is lined in a coarse linen canvas.

The skirt is approximately a circle made from four full widths of fabric (58cm) joined selvage to selvage, the sides extended by narrow matching pieces. It is lined from waist to nearly knee in white flannel wool, and lined fully in a coarse canvas with a woolen strip that protects the hem.

The bodice is not entirely symmetric according to K F Dózsa’s line art, with a strip of damask missing under the guarding on the left hand side. The bodice is lined in a green wool.

In total there are three pattern drafts of the gown.

The simplest was published by V. Ember Mária (1962, after Höllrigl?)

Simplified pattern diagram for the gown, V. Ember Mária: Folia archeologica 14 . pg 149

The most accurate appears to be K.F. Dózsa (1984.)

And a diagram that retains the principles of Dózsa while making them symmetric by N. Tarrant (1994.)

The chemise is made of 6 trapezoid panels 40cm at the tops, 60cm at the hem,

The first published work is Höllrigl József, Történelmi ruhák a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeumban, Magyar Művészet 5, 1929, pgs 205-216

Höllrigl apparently had fuller notes than this article had room for including a pattern draft. This pattern draft was included in a much later article published in Folia archeologica 14

I have translated bluntly the information as it relates directly to the items.

The shirt:
The women’s shirt has a curved, deep cut in the chest and back. . Where the very loose shirt is in contact with a strap wider than a fingertip lining the cut-out, the dense, tiny wrinkles on the front and back are equal to two fingers wide, embroidered with silver geometric embellishment, geometric embellished with a silver embroidery of semicircles embracing the wrinkles of the loose fingers at the wrist, converging into a narrow cuff.

The gown fabric:
The material of the women’s dress is Italian green silk damask, the width of which corresponds to the width of the fabric of the mantle[? i.e. the corresponding mantle of Louis] , i.e. 58 cm. Pomegranates, surrounded by fantastic flowers pattern, alternate in rows, framed from late Gothic roses and combined with floral tendrils. The crosses of tendrils and their motives are surrounded by small crowns.
 I managed to find an almost identical replica of this fabric on two mass dresses at the Schnütgen-Museum in Cologne. 1 The only difference between the fabrics, which match exactly in the material, color and pattern, is that while in our case the floral tendrils connecting the pomegranates are simple, the Cologne fabrics are braided from two branches.

Gown cut and construction:
The women’s dress is tight, close-fitting, with a short waist and a very rich, bouncing, bell-shaped skirt falling down in large folds. The only ornament on the bodice is a strap made of 7 cm wide gold-fiber fabric, which borders the curved cut-out of the back and, running over the shoulders, runs slightly in front from the front to the belt of the skirt, leaving the chest wide at a good width; and the long sleeves are stretched so long at their ends by a funnel-shaped handle made of the same gold cloth that only the tips of the fingers of the hand could be seen. It is very interesting to design the inside of the dress, which is not visible from the outside, so that the skirt can wrinkle as heavily as possible, it is lined with a fairly thick, strong fabric, for the same purpose the upper third of which is very thick white flannel. The base of the waist is a green cloth, a sleeve stripe made of the same material protects and borders the skirt. The dimensions of the dress, supplemented by the dimensions of the baby made for it, give an idea of ​​its proportions, these are: 30 cm from front to neck to the belt, 36 cm at the back, ie the belt slopes backwards, its abundance is 73 cm, the length of the skirt is 107 cm, 124 cm, the lower circumference of the skirt is 780 cm, the length of the sleeves is 71 cm.

23 Meisterstückbuch des Schneiderhandwerks Nittenau, 17. Jahrhundert
Handschrift, 6 Bl., Papier, Feder, Tinte, geschlossen H. 23 cm, B. 17 cm, aufgeschlagen fol. 5v/6r: Mantel und Wams der Bürgersfrau, Bauernrock, Kleid der Bauernbraut

I have roughly translated this and tried to make it easier to read:

23 Meisterstückbuch des Schneiderhandwerks Nittenau, 17th century Manuscript, 6 sheets, paper, quill, ink, closed H. 23 cm, W 17 cm, opened fol. 5v / 6r: coat and jerkin of the citizen woman, peasant skirt, dress of the farmer bride HA, WK Nittenau, tailor 1682 Cross-sectional drawings are “models” of garments.

Early examples can be found in the masterpiece books of the tailoring industry from the 16th and 17th centuries with exam papers to obtain the master’s degree.

In a hierarchical hierarchy, they show greatly reduced cuts of ecclesiastical robes, followed by men’s and women’s clothing for nobility, citizens, peasants and servants.

Inscriptions name the garments and their individual parts as well as dimensions, materials and quantities. The cuts are positioned on webs in the respective fabric widths and also served as a guide to economic trimming. For cutting one used original sized cuts.

The tailor constructed them according to the customer measurements taken with paper strips with Elle and compass and transferred them with chalk or soap on the fabric.

In addition, patterns of linen were in use, and at the latest in the late 17th century, one worked already with paper cuts.

The pattern book of the tailors of Nittenau (Upper Palatinate) was created when they were asked to set their masterpieces. They asked for the help of the tailors from the Bruck, seven kilometers away, who told them their own masterpieces in the booklet with the inscription “SchneiderInnung / Nittenau” by another hand.

The year “1600” was later corrected to “1608” on the title, another dating at the end of the dedication on the last page is no longer clearly legible (16 [00 ligiert?] 2). The clothes on display date back to the first half of the 17th century.

The andwerk books are important sources of historical clothing research, however, the long-term masterpieces often lagged behind the current fashions.

Of particular interest is the use of dotted lines at the waist of gowns assumed to be full length- my observation of dotted lines in other tailors manuals is that it could be an optional cutting line ( body seams of Jubon) or folds (on a few jubon sleeves.) It is of interest th

This book is however perhaps the easiest to “read” of all the extant manuals of this era due to the use of lines to illustrate trimmings and of the use of a colour wash for waste fabric.

~ how to use these guides

I have collected as many examples of extant tailoring and dressmaking books as I can to create a virtual timeline very easily accessed by the public.

The archive pages for the “historic guides” tag puts all posts into the order of the date the work was published.

Where there is a single source this is linked in the first paragraph so that readers may go directly to the document.

Where the book is found in parts the title is in the first paragraph and the links are to be found inside the blog post.

I have tried to create a primary image to illustrate what to expect from the book, some of these are images that are combined, some are screencaps of the book as archived, some are single landscape diagrams.

My hope is to drive traffic directly to these open access archives as they have been a vital part of my own understanding of the history of costume, and have allowed me to use these resources I never could otherwise access.

In some cases my images might be easier to pin, in which case I recommend pinning from the individual blog post rather than one of the archive pages as these will change as more books are linked.

Of note the text has this to say:

Natomiast niesłychanie interesujące świadectwo przekazywania informacji z cechu do cechu wynika z korespondencji pomiędzy krawcami Wrocławia i Bytomia zachowanej z 1567 r. Rękopis trafił do Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Anna Berdecka odczytała trudny polski tekst kopii przysłanej przez kuratora Edwarda Maedera w 1992 г., a ja zrobiłam uwagi fachowe. Będzie on zapewne wydany w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Można jednak tu poda ogólny opis najważniejszych informacji i wykrojów. Najpierw podano dane o ilości tkanin przeznaczonych na te stroje z podkreśleniem, że sukno „ma bicz stąpione”. Przysłano dziewię wykrojów. Na ornat przeznaczano 9 miar aksamitu, na dwie dalmatyki 16 miar tegoż, na płaszcz kapłański „czo w nym kadza” (kapa) 11 miar. Inne stroje były z sukna: kapłańska szata wymagała 9 miar lundyszu, „żeński płaszcz” tyle tej tkaniny; był to wykrój z półkola. Ubiór „ku polowaniu” wymagał cztery miary sukna machelskiego (czyli pochodzącego z Niderlandów), był to krój wamsa z krótkimi bufiastymi spodniami. „Formańska kythla” miała mie długoś 6 ćwierci i szyto j z ośmiu miar barchanu. „Kukla rajtarska” była obszernym, zachodzącym na plecy kapturem i wymagała pół miary lundyszu, albo miar sukna stępowanego. Ostatnia sztuka to „nastolka” czyli okrycie na siodło wykonane z czterech miar lundyszu. 25

25 Opisywany rękopis jest własnością Los Angeles County Museum of Art i mam nadzieję, że będzie tam w całości opublikowany wraz z opisywanymi wykrojami. Tu mogłam jedynie podać dane z własnych i dr Anny Berdeckiej zamówionych przez tę instytucję ustaleń.

An extremely interesting testimony of the transfer of information from guild to guild results from correspondence between tailors of Wrocław and Bytom preserved from 1567. The manuscript went to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Anna Berdecka read the difficult Polish text of the copy sent by curator Edward Maeder in 1992 and I made professional comments. It will probably be released in the United States. However, you can give a general description of the most important information and patterns here. First, data on the amount of fabrics intended for these outfits was given, emphasizing that the cloth “has a scuffed whip”. Nine patterns were sent. The chasuble was allocated 9 measures of velvet, two dalmatics 16 measures of the same, for the priest’s cloak “the foremost vat” (capa ) 11 measures Other costumes were made of cloth: the priest’s robe required 9 measures of lundsz, the “female coat” so much of the fabric; it was a semi-circle pattern. The garment “for hunting” required four measures of Machel cloth (that is, from the Netherlands), it was a Wams a cut with short puffy pants. “Forman’s kythla” was six-quarter long and sewn from eight measures of barchan. “Kukla rajtarska” was a voluminous hood overlapping the back and required half a measure of lundysz, or a measure of blunt cloth. The last piece is a “nastolka” or a saddle cover made of four measures of lundyszu.

25 This manuscript is owned by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and I hope that it will be published in its entirety together with the described patterns. Here, I could only provide data from my own and Dr. Anna Berdecka’s findings ordered by this institution.
