Steuchlein Thoughts - Updated Ideas
Oct. 19th, 2008 02:58 pmOK, so I just talked
sstormwatch into helping out with some photo demos' of possible layer combinations for making up a Steuchlein. (*HUGS* Thank you!)
There are a few different styles I would like to try and recreate, clearly they all involve ‘similar’ layers, worn in a variety of ways. The layers as I see them are as follows:
False braids - Zopfe (*not everyone would need these, but I am going to try them out)
Understructure – Wulst
Cap – Wulsthaube
Veils – Schleiertuch
Chinband – Kinnbinde
For these parts, I am going to assemble the following pieces:
False braids
One pair of Zopfe - which appear to require about ‘one ell’ and then some of fabric (around 45” – 50” at a width of about 25”), plus stuffing.
Understructures
One curved ‘crescent’ Wulst
One rounded ‘roll’ Wulst
Caps
*One under-Wulst-cap/Wulsthaube based on this style - having worn my other versions of a Steuchlein a few times, I know that having something under all those other layers that help keep them clean is a good plan.
*Two over-Wulst-cap/Wulsthaube based on this style in two different colors
Veils
Two basic Schleiertuch in linen in two different colors
One basic Schleiertuch in silk
One extended Schleiertuch in silk based on this model
Chinband
Two Kinnbinde in two different colors
Why two colors you ask? I am interested in showing how the layers interact in a variety of combinations.
( The following images demonstrate the styles I would like to attempt to recreate. )
