| Ruffs
After much thought, I decided to devote an entire page to ruffs. Page 3 has my new standup ruff. No Elizabethan outfit is complete with out a ruff. Ruffs were worn by both sexes usually with a coordinating set for the wrists. Ruffs are made with the same technique of cartridge pleating that is used for the overskirts. A tutorial for making ruffs is located under Tudor Techniques. |

My newest set (to replace the one I gave to Countess Octavia) 
My first attempt at a ruff A quick word about shoes. I am not a leather person and have very difficult feet to fit. I have a few pairs of soft velvet slippers. However for normal wear I have discovered hand made shoes made in England by the company Born. They are period looking and very comfortable. |
