to the Ladies Treasury.
We have
moved recently so I hope you will
bear with us till we're running
smoothly.
The
state of the site so far:-
Almost everything that used to
click, does click again and a few
things that didn't, now do. The
Victorian articles are nearly all
back online but I'm afraid the
Edwardian ones are still as
incomplete as before the move.
The ladies patterns are nearly
ready, but as before, the men's
and children's are not. Patterns
take
|
| a little longer
to sort out, as each piece has to
be individually webbed by our
overworked webmeister. The
work-table is virtually complete
and even has one or two extras
already. As soon as we are up to
speed, of course, we will add new
items to every category. All of the
articles that were not taken from
period sources, such as the
fashion overviews, were written
by me, so if there's anything you
disagree with, you know whom to
blame. (Please see our "Government
Health Warning" below, where I
deny all knowledge of anything!)
Everything
else is a period original from
our collection (including
patterns, pictures and articles).
We have tried not to infringe
copyright laws and have put up
original items that we own, on
which the copyright has expired.
At the
moment our site is mainly late
Victorian and Edwardian, because
much of our collection dates from
then. We do have some 1920s and
'30s material, which I will
gladly put up in the future if
there is a demand for it.
Ideally, I would love the site to
run from the Regency to World War
II. Unfortunately, items
published from the mid 1930s
onwards are still in copyright.
We do have loads of them though,
so while we are not a commercial
site it may be okay to share them
gratis. Early Victorian and
Regency material, on the other
hand, is thankfully out of
copyright but so much harder to
source. Rest assured that if we
get it, you'll see it first,
here!
In the
meantime, browse through what we
have on offer at the moment, for
your research, costume-making or
just for fun.

We have not
written out our address anywhere
on the site to prevent targeting
by spam crawlers. If your
browser does not allow you to use
the email button, the following
is our address in full English:-
treasury at tudorlinks dot com. I
think that makes sense.
We'd also like to
thank Tudorlinks for kindly
hosting us.

Finally,
click on the title above for a
seasonal article on spring, from
the Englishwomans
Domestic Magazine of 1867. I hope
you find it as inspiring as I
did.
Best
wishes,
