Just for You! A Fashion Show We at the Gunpowder
Plot Tailor Shop have convinced some of our elegant patrons to take time
from their busy day at court to show some of our best designs. Remember
our motto:
Cabbage in the 17th Century meant scraps or rags.  Woodcut 1568 We make fine farthingales
and jerkins as well as clothing for both men and women. We do not however
do linen smocks, shirts,ruffs or other neckwear but we can provide the
name of a very good seamstress. No women are employed in the shop. We will
gladly pick your old gown to pieces or measure you anew on notched parchment
but for a fair price we will measure you up and construct a very durable
toile (fabric model) which can be sent to the specialist of your choice
at home or abroad.
Step right up and enter the show!
