The challenge for the recreation
of the
'Hardwick' portrait gown
in three months time

Today, on Tuesday, the 8th of August, 2006, I have accepted a challenge to create a gown from scratch within three months of time.

The gown in question is the one Queen Elizabeth is wearing in the 'Hardwick' portrait:

...and here are the rules for the challenge:

  • You must make it as accurate as possible.
  • You can substitute fabric painting for the hand embroidery, but the pearls, the trim, the points, everything else must be as close to what was used as possible.
  • You must have the correct underpinnings for the skirt and the ruff.
  • You MUST use as many materials as possible from your own collection of fabrics and trims.
    However, you have (...) a budget of no more than 20 Euros for anything else you might need to buy for this dress, such as lace, pearls, or (heaven forbid!) fabric.
    Things like thread, hooks and eyes, wire and the like are free. (that means anything else *must* come from my own collection of fabrics!)
  • Because of the complex nature of this dress, you have from now until Nov. 15th (that's 3 months) to get it done. You will need to get documentation to me as soon after the 15th as you can.

Documentation? No problem. The detailed research has just started on the following research page :-) And anything else will, of course, be published here as soon as I have finished it :-)

Contact: Please write to naergilien@yahoo.de with the word "Costume" in the subject line. My mail server will delete all mails automatically that don't have this word in the subject line; except if you are on my whitelist (which you are probably not if I have never written to you).
It may take me some days to answer - please be patient. If I shouldn't answer within a week, it's almost safe to say that I didn't receive your mail (for what reason ever) - in that case please resend it.

All images of my costumes and also the tutorial pictures as well as the descriptions of my work and various techniques on this site are copyrighted to me.
So don't take my pictures for publishing (e.g. other websites, books etc.; no matter if they are commercial or not) without asking me before you do so and especially not without getting my permission to do this.
My server is mostly set up in a way that it doesn't allow hot linking on images; so if you need to link to me, please link to one of my sites (hint: that's everything ending with ".htm" or "html" in your browser's address bar) on which you found the picture that you would like to link to.

All images of paintings or original movie costumes were not taken by me (except if stated so) and are on this site for educational purposes.
As far as I could, I have credited the original photographers and/or their sites or have mentioned from where I have scanned certain pictures. They remain property of their respective owners.

Kontakt: Bitte schreibt an naergilien@yahoo.de mit dem Wort 'Costume' in der Betreffzeile. Die Mailbox ist so eingerichtet, daß sie alle Mails, die nicht diesen Betreff haben und deren Versender auch nicht auf meiner Whitelist stehen, erst einmal löscht.
Es kann einige Tage dauern, bis ich Euch antworten kann - bitte habt Geduld. Wenn ich nicht innerhalb einer Woche antworte, so habe ich Eure Mail wahrscheinlich nicht erhalten (aus welchem Grunde auch immer) - in diesem Fall schickt sie bitte einfach nochmal los.

Alle Bilder auf dieser Seite der von mir angefertigten Kostüme, der Herstellungsprozesse, Anleitungsbilder und Ausstellungen unterliegen dem deutschen Urheberrecht, welches im Streitfalle länderübergreifend gilt.
Klaut meine Bilder also nicht, um sie zu veröffentlichen (sei das nun in Druck- oder Filmmedien, auf privaten oder geschäftlichen Webseiten etc) ohne mich vorher zu fragen, ob das in Ordnung ist und natürlich nicht, ohne von mir dann die Erlaubnis zu bekommen.
Mein Server ist größtenteils so eingerichtet, daß er den meisten Seiten keinen direkten Link auf Bilder hier erlaubt. Wollt ihr also unbedingt ein Bild von mir irgendwo verlinken, so verlinkt die Seite, auf der sich das Bild befindet (Hinweis: Eine 'Seite' ist in diesem Falle etwas, das in der Adreßzeile Eures Browsers mit 'htm' oder 'html' endet).

Alle Fotos von Gemälden (außer, wenn von mir selber gemacht) und originalen Filmkleidern (gleichfalls) befinden sich zu Studienzwecken in meinem Web. Soweit ich konnte, habe ich die ursprünglichen Quellen, Seiten oder Fotografen der Bilder genannt. Diese Bilder sind Eigentum ihrer Besitzer.
