INSPIRATION AND RECREATION: SEWING 17C STYLE CLOTHES<\/h3>\n

A talk from Caroline Vincent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caroline Vincent joined the Sealed Knot as a student and met lovely people and had great fun, but from the start she felt the kit she wore could be improved.<\/p>\n

Since then, she has spent time researching, ,visiting museums, going to lectures and reading books to learn how to draft patterns and sew 17th century style clothes. It has sent her down many rabbit holes of exploration and in this fascinating talk she will show you what she has learnt with examples of what she has created.<\/p>\n

PORTRAITS, PURITANS AND PETTICOATS<\/h3>\n

A talk from Stuart Orme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fashion in the mid-1600s. A talk by Stuart Orme, Curator of the Oliver Cromwell Museum.<\/p>\n

The mid-1600s saw changes in fashion, forced by not only by continental influences but the impact of the Civil Wars and the Republic. What were these changes and how did people of this period dress? Did all Puritans wear black and Cavaliers wear lace? What do the portraits of the period tell us and in what way are they misleading?<\/p>\n
