MPX5089948: Steel corsets and wigs won't be revived in the new Elizabethan age, but some of the prettier fashions-like the Elizabethan ruff-will certainly be copied. For less than ten shillings, you can look like an Elizabethan - in spite of that perm and short skirt-by making yourself a period ruff. Here are instructions for making a ruff you will need: 1/2 yard of white Petersham lin. wide; two hook and eye fasteners; one yard 2in. wide horsehair (on haberdashery counters at 1/4 a yard); one yard yard or remanat of white lace about lin. wide. Cut Petersham to go comfortably round your neck, finish ends and stitch on the fastenings. Sew the lace down one side of the horsehair 1/2in. from the edge. Crinkle the horsehair into pleates until it is the same length as the Petersham. Tack onto Petersham collar, keeping horsehair level with top edge. in the picture London actress Jene Anderson demonstrates the "ruff look." March 1952 / Bridgeman Images
