Naito_Mitsukai *I moved this from the garb thread! xd it didn't really belong there* I was wondering - does anyone have any solid evidence of corset use pre-renaissance? I have some - but I'm not sure how solid it is. 'Medieval Costume and Fashion' by Herbert Norris Speaks of corseting, and even front-lacing corseting around the 1100's and reffers to this picture ![User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.](https://graphics.gaiaonline.com/images/s.gif) The bottom left-hand side - is supposed to be a figure of the devil. " 'Her waist was so fine your hands could have girdled her.' From an old French love song of the twelfth century." (quoted from 'Medieval Costume and Fashion' by Herbert Norris) There's some more infromation in the book on this, but not much. And I just wanted to know if anyone else had any evidence - because in my little shire there's one or two people who say " teeeeeeechnecally corests aren't period" etc etc (always in a way that makes you feel guilty, but they don't TELL you that you can't wear it) stare But I wanted to attempt to make a corset like what's drawn in this book *there's a small illistration* And wear it to events. But I hate not being period!! You know? Any suggestions? (or any suggestions on corset patters - where to find them, what material to use?) Would be much appreciated! heart 3nodding
All I have to say is that Bodices are worn on the outside and corsets and undergarments. Unless you are a trollop or maybe a pirate or gypsy. Wearing a corset on the inside was correct. So that is me being nice. My mate will not take so much of a nice stance on this bot she and I believe in period if by information only. She will have more to say about this.

In fact you are both wrong, to be technical. Maybe you should read it before correcting someone. It is any time up till the 1600 A.D. Which means all time. We just primarily focus on: Western European High Middle Ages. I have seen loin and paint. Which means your persona would had to have visited European countries, not have to be born there. This is the better way to reference something. Point it out directly from the site.

Where did the SCA come from? The avowed purpose of the SCA is the study and recreation of the European Middle Ages, its crafts, sciences, arts, traditions, literature, etc. The SCA "period" is defined to be Western civilization before 1600 AD, concentrating on the Western European High Middle Ages. Under the aegis of the SCA we study dance, calligraphy, martial arts, cooking, metalwork, stained glass, costuming, literature... well, if they did it, somebody in the SCA does it (Except die of the Plague!).

Oh, and Snaebjorn, whoever DID write the bit between "from the fall of Rome until 1600", was badly mistaken.
The decline of the Roman Empire, also called the fall of the Roman Empire, is a historical term of periodization that describes the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Edward Gibbon in his famous study The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776) was the first to use this terminology, but he was neither the first nor the last to speculate on why and when the Empire collapsed. It remains one of the greatest historical questions, and has a tradition rich in scholarly interest. In 1984, German professor Alexander Demandt published a collection of 210 theories on why Rome fell.
The traditional date of the fall of the Roman Empire is September 4, 476 when Romulus Augustus, the de jure Emperor of the Western Roman Empire was deposed by Odoacer. Many historians question this date, noting that the Eastern Roman Empire continued until the Fall of Constantinople in 29 May 1453. Some other notable dates are the death of Theodosius I in 395, that last time the Roman Empire was unified, the crossing of the Rhine in 406 by Germanic tribes, after the withdrawal of the legions in order to defend Italy against Alaric I, and the death of Stilicho in 408, followed by the disintegration of the western legions. Many scholars maintain that rather than a simplistic "fall", the changes can more accurately be described as a complex transformation. Over time many theories have been proposed on why the Empire fell, or whether indeed it fell at all. sweatdrop
