		<description><![CDATA[The surviving pattern published in Juan de Alcega&#8217;s &#8216;Libro de Geometria, Practica y Traca&#8217;(1589) represents almost everything we know about the farthingale. Most articles on recreating the Alcega farthingale focus on faithfully reproducing the pattern based on fabric widths.

		<description><![CDATA[Yet another dry, dusty pile of academic writing&#8230; This time, the topic is the corsetry/torso support of the 16th century.  I find the full history of the artificial silhouette totally fascinating, and I&#8217;m geeked beyond belief on the actual genesis of the corset.  In the 16th century alone, a bunch of different devices are in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an excerpt from a research paper I did a while back. The paper itself is 40 pages and covers 4 centuries of support skirts and corsetry. I figure it&#8217;s more digestible in smaller chunks. Please note: my regularly scheduled writing style has been suspended in favor of something more palatable to the hardcore [...]]]></description>
