15th CENTURY UNDIES!!!


I love Katrin Kania's blog, "a stitch in time". Today she posted this lovely info on extant German undies from the 16th c.

Yeppers.

Undies.

*i <3 extant undies*



Aaaanyway. There is an English language article available as well here.

Just filing this all away for future reading and reference.

EDITED 7/6/11: And here is [livejournal.com profile] jillwheezul talking about the German language article on these.

EDITED 7/18/12: Due to a recent set of English language articles on this topic, interest has swung back round again on this find. [livejournal.com profile] mmcnealy just posted this tidbit on FB. http://www.uibk.ac.at/urgeschichte/projekte_forschung/textilien-lengberg/medieval-lingerie-from-lengberg-castle-east-tyrol.html
