Now they say my truck won't be ready until Aug 15th! ARGH!!!!!!! I think I'll just borrow my brother's truck for Pennsic and he can use dad's BMW but still! And, oh yeah, the stupid insurance company hasn't gotten in touch with me at all so I called up to find out my latest adjuster is out until the 20th! yes, I called up and complained to someone about this mess. It would have been easier if they totaled it.....

that, and the stupid people in the costuming world are getting to me again. Look my dears, I just proved to you, again, that there is little to no creditability about the partlet being open meaning the person was unmarried. Considering it was a fashion for maybe 20 years, you don't come up with traditions like that that quickly. Deal. It goes under the "pink isn't period" list of myths.

Not to depress you but

It took more than 2 months for LLT to get her car back from the shop after the accident

it's not so much that the truck isn't ready, it's that the car repairman told me it would be ready this week and now they are saying not until the 15th at the earliest. I could understand if they had told me straight out how long it would take but to change the dates and add on another two weeks? That's what gets me.

Oh dear! I sincerely hope that there is a car available.

Partlet worn open is just a thing women did because it looked pretty. Since there's a crapload of pictures of married and unmarried women all wearing them open (the Fete at Bermondsey painting has a woman with an open partlet/shift breastfeeding, and that's *not* something an unmarried woman would do in public - they'd be hiding the baby and pretending they didn't have one), I think it's safe to say it's a fashion, not a statement of marital status.

And you can tell them Isobel said so. Nyah.

I tried to tell them something akin to that...the response I got was either to ignore me (I'm use to that) or to come up with the "but maybe they did it because they didn't love their husbands. After all, a lot of marriages were arranged right? So to have an open partlet meant you were looking for love?" Of course, I think this is the same person, when told that stripes weren't popular in the 16th c, she wanted to know why they put trim on the doublets to look like trim then....::head desk::

eck! should read "they put trim on the doublets to look like stripes then" ...going back to pattern drafting now, it requires less thinking than English does at this point in the day....
