Because of its shape, this kind of collar was known as a millstone ruff. It was fashionable in Holland from the late 16th century to about 1625. Early millstone ruffs were starched with regular pleats. This example, however, is looser and less tidy. It is of a type that was popular with young, fashionable men around 1615 to 1635. This is the only surviving pleated ruff in the world. http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/aria/aria_assets/BK-NM-13112?lang=en Thu, 19 Jul 2007 01:49:52 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=15281 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=15281 Philip Stubbes started writing around 1581 producing small tracts in which he sharply denounced the manners, pastimes, fashions and culture in England. His major work, The Anatomie of Abuses, was first published in 1583. P hilip Stubbes had a gift for keen observatio n. Although his comments should not be considered to reveal mainstream thought or opinions of the time, (even his contempora ries thought him extreme) his virulent attacks on the abuses in fashion and English society provide us with a detailed, colorful and picturesqu e glimpse into the England of Shakespear e's youth. http://name.umdl.umich.edu/A13086.0001.001 Thu, 08 Jun 2006 23:29:48 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=12070 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=12070 A summary of accessorie s for outfits for Italian women in the early 16th century. http://purplefiles.net/katerina/DOCO/Accessories.pdf Mon, 01 Aug 2005 17:01:22 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=9427 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=9427 One of the most tedious aspects of making a ruff is figuring out just how much fabric will be required.
