23 October: A&S Class: Burgundian dress making.
(by Rignach Argyll) European fashion north of the Alps was dominated by the glittering court of the Duchy of Burgundy, especially under the fashion-conscious power-broker Philip the Good (ruled 1419–1469). Having added Holland and Flanders to their dominion, the Dukes of Burgundy had access to the latest fabrics of Italy and the East and to English wool exports through the great trading cities of Bruges and Antwerp.
Burgundian dress is a type of loose court outer gown with fitted sleeves which overlap the palms of a wearer.
The activity will be held on October 24, 2024, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at
Bethel Lutheran Church (room B7)
8712 Plantation Ln, Manassas, VA 20110
