An article from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club on the 1613 marriage trousseau of Princess Elizabeth, daughter of James I, who married Frederick, Elector Palatine. It presents the royal warrant (printed in Archaeologia, Vol. XXVI) in four parts: gowns, petticoats and farthingales ordered from tailors; fabrics, laces, buttons and trimmings from mercers and silkmen; gowns for eleven bridesmaids; and hangings, fabrics and furnishings for the bridal chamber. Footnotes explain period textile terms such as tabine, grograine, sarcenet, purle, and bone lace. Two halftone portraits of Elizabeth are included.
