I understand that an opulent damask or brocaded velvet in 100% silk or linen may be out of the reach of the average renactor's pocketbook, but what could possibly explain the absense of of that most basic of woven patterns-stripes?
Hmmm....?
I've heard some people claim that 'they didn't wear stripes in europe in period' but the pictoral record would seem to disagree.
So I decided to start a page on which I can post some of the lovely evidence I find for stripes!
Startng with this lovely at the Brookly Museum;
Portrait of a Lady as Mary Magdalen, Barolomeo Veneto, 1520's
