Ouches (pronounced either Oo-tchiz or Ow-tchiz) are the ornate gold and jeweled pieces that can be seen on the gowns, sleeves, foreparts, girdles, necklaces, and headwear in a number of sixteenth century portraits.
Reference to the origin of the word “ouch” : https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/middle-english-dictionary/dictionary/MED29927
I had the large square ouches manufactured with four loops on the backs, so that they could be sewn individually onto garments or strung onto two wires to make girdles, carcanets, bodice jewelry, or billiments for French hoods.
Here are the varieties I have available. Click the images to get to the individual order pages.
Due to the Trump tariffs on goods originating from China, I am unable to fulfill orders at this time. I have turned off ordering until I figure out what to do - or if there is a way to move forward. I should be able to eventually fill orders to countries other than the USA, but I have to revise my shipping presets first as I was using USPS for all orders. I'm so sorry.

It’s amazing! I wish I could afford a bolt of it!! What Are you waiting for?? Ya know ya want some!
This fabric is wonderful! I had a 1610-15 Jacobean jacket made from this material and it is magnificent!
I have been a customer of Louise’s for 10 years and she knows what she is about! She is the one who made the Jacobean jacket with your material =) The way she advises to wear the hair really adds to the shape your coif needs.
This pattern is superb. It prints out perfectly and easily aligns, and everything fits together. I could have used a teensy bit of instruction – like “sew to here” on CF, and a note to insert ribbon before stitching on facing, but with the help of the photos I eventually figured it out. Thank you very much for making this pattern available.
Great pattern! It took a bit to figure out how it worked but not to hard! Thank you 🙂
