Jacket

1590-1630

Great Britain

This simple unlined jacket represents an informal style of clothing worn by women in the early 17th century. Unlike more fitted waistcoats, this loose, unshaped jacket may have been worn during pregnancy. A repeating pattern of curving scrolls covers the linen from which spring sweet peas, oak leaves, acorns, columbine, lilies, pansies, borage, hawthorn, strawberries and honeysuckle embroidered in coloured silks, silver and silver-gilt threads. The embroidery stitches include chain, stem, satin, dot and double-plait stitch, as well as knots and couching of the metal threads. Sleeves and sides are embroidered together with an insertion stitch in two shades of green instead of a conventionally sewn seam. Although exquisitely worked, this jacket is crudely cut from a single layer of linen, indicating the work of a seamstress or embroiderer, someone without a tailor's training. It has no cuffs, collar or lining, and the sleeves are cut in one piece. The jacket was later altered to fit a thinner person. The sleeves were taken off, the armholes re-shaped, the sides cut down, and the sleeves set in again.

I love having stupid problems oh no I can't read medieval Latin calligraphy and my mother thinks I should be a proper historiographist instead of looking for a dingy boring State office job. How is this the year 2024

Time Travel Question 48: Early Modernish and Earlier 3

These Questions are the result of suggestions a the previous iteration.This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

see normally i try to avoid and dislike using "they're ooc" as a criticism bc it's been historically used to flatten out a character's flaws. i want to use any possible in universe route to explain what's going on regardless of whether it aligns w authorial intent or not. anyway i think ten is ooc in girl in the fireplace

The Close Helmet was worn by knights in the late medieval era. Being a fully enclosing helmet with a pivoting visor. They were a popular choice for cavalry on the battlefield, along with a good pick for jousts.

Know what's absolutely brilliant about being a history nerd?!!?

Becoming re-obsessed with a certain period of English history ( the Restoration! When I was 15-ish I loved reading about Charles II and all the things he did (giving the boot to the puritans, getting revenge for his father, reopening theatres and letting women act on stage, having lots of illegitimate children)that kinda stuff, anyways) . And being sad that King Charles II never had his own son on the throne, because you really like the Merrie Monarch, then remembering that his brother King James VII & II was ousted and the House of Stuart was no more on the throne of England. Lots of sad times. Then you remember a certain Jacobite song about Bonnie Prince Charlie. Which is a heckin' great song by the by. THEN you get sad remembering that Bonnie Prince Charlie lost. More sad times

Then it crosses your mind to finally check out BPCharlie's ancestry and low and behold he's King James VII & II grandson ( teen me never made the connection when last I obsessed over 17th/18th century England). Cool! I love the connecting dots I'm doing.

A little bit of reading later and a few more dots connected, and OH? isn't THAT interesting?? King ' I had more illegitimate kids than I knew what to do with ' Charles II gave lots of dukedoms and titles and things to said kids...... And guess who's a direct descendant of one of those * ahem* children? Princess Diana. Yeah, the PRINCESS DIANA ! And who's next in line to the throne of England?? Her eldest son..... Who's consequentially a direct (maternal line) descendant of the Merrie Monarch... The Jacobites better have a party when Prince William is crowned because THE STUARTS ARE GONNA BE BACK ON THE THRONE!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!

i don't know where we got the idea that Killer is the super romantic and horny one in the Bad Sanses when Nightmare is right there.

my dude was raised the the 16th-21st century.

do you know what people were doing in the 17th century? they were hosting balls. do you know why the people in the 17th century were hosting balls? to court people.

i don't think you understand, people were quite literally traveling from across the country in their finest and most expensive outfits to dance and eventually look someone in the eyes and say "you're really pretty" then come back home with a new bitch.

the early era of balls were hosted to celebrate royal's birthdays, but most of them still with the intention of the royal in question finding someone to marry. they literally made them private so only the richest of the rich could attend, and public balls only became a thing around the 18th century, to which anyone could enter if they had the proper dress.

Nightmare with the self-proclaimed title of "King of Negativity" and ego the size of the moon has definitely attended at least one of balls, and therefore has definitely picked up the habit of sweet-talking people, because you kinda have to do that to get people to dance with you (and trust me, those people danced-- the balls started at night and would last until the next morning so anyone could come at any time).

i mean, why do you think he has all those allies throughout the Multiverse.
