<p>87.51.32.30: </p> <hr /> <div>delliolota<br /> [[image:WalterRaleighandson.jpg|thumb|right]]<br /> <br /> '''Elizabethan clothing''' refers to the distinctive clothing during the reign of [[Elizabeth I]].<br /> <br /> Elizabeth loved [[gemstone|jewelled]] clothes and left over 2,000 decorated dresses hanging in her wardrobe when she died. <br /> <br /> Most ordinary people wore clothes similar to those of the rich and fashionable people but they were simpler and made from cheap materials like [[wool]] or [[linen]]. Children were usually dressed in smaller versions of their parents' clothes, although a portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh with his son shows Raleigh wearing a [[ruff]], whereas his son wears the wide collar that was to become popular after the death of Elizabeth. <br /> <br /> Rich Elizabethan women wore a lot of clothes each day. They wore a thick [[petticoat]]. Over this went a [[ pair of bodies|corset]] and a [[skirt]]. The skirt was held up by [[hoop]]s and/or [[padding|padded]] at the hips. An outer bodice and skirt or a fine dress went over this and on top of that there was a dressing gown or coat, which went down to the floor.<br /> <br /> Rich men wore a [[linen]] [[shirt]] and a tight-fitting [[jacket]] called a [[doublet]]. Over there was another jacket which came out over the hips. They wore [[stockings]] and padded [[breeches]] instead of trousers. Most wore a [[velvet]] or [[fur]] [[hat]].<br /> <br /> ==The Ruff==<br /> <br /> The most distinctive element of Elizabethan clothing is the [[ruff]]. Ruffs were worn around the neck or wrists and generally became larger later in the Elizabethan era.<br /> <br /> == See also:==<br /> * http://costume.dm.net/<br /> * http://www.extremecostuming.com<br /> <br /> [[category:clothing]]<br /> <br /> Each ruff could contain up to 3,000 pins and it is said that when young ladies were dancing with young men at balls they were afraid to sneeze incase the pins shot out and stabbed the young man. It could take up to 3 hours making a ruff.</div>

<p>87.51.32.30: </p> <hr /> <div>pasletoleto<br /> [[Image:Camel.jpg|right|150px]]<br /> The '''camel''' is a ruminative quadrupedal mammal, generally found in arid or desert locations. It comes in two flavours, Bactrian and Dromedary, between which the major difference is one ''hump'' or two. The humps are fatty bulges on the back, wherein the camel stores water. Its speciality is that it can travel for extended periods on one 'load' of water, storing the excess in the humps and only using it as required.<br /> <br /> The camel is used as a means of transport and beast of burden; it can be [[milk]]ed and may, in extreme circumstances (or when unexpected in-laws come to call), be used for [[food]].<br /> <br /> In the [[mundane]] camels have also been introduced into [[Australia]] (where they have gone feral, whereas in their native territories the species is almost totally domesticated) and the [[USA]], where they did not survive.<br /> <br /> No 'funny' comments have yet been created likening [[king|royalty]] or [[noble|nobility]] to these creatures, despite the fact that they are often portrayed as smelly, bad-tempered and haughty (the camels, not the kings/nobles).<br /> <br /> ''The CAMeL'' is the [[heraldry|heraldric]] newsletter for the [[Kingdom of Lochac]] in the [[SCA]]. It is so named because it is the [[Crux Australis]] Monthly Letter. This does not imply that Lochac's primary [[herald]] has strange lumps on his or her back.<br /> <br /> [[category:animal]]</div>
