Been a while since I've posted, I actually have something to report! Currently I'm working on a Saxony/Cranach style gown, from the skin out. Starting with a shift based on those Medieval 'bra' finds from a few years ago, and finishing with a giant hat full of feathers. :0)
Currently I have part of the shift draped, just needs to be sewn, trimmed and then turned into a final pattern. I've got the test run of a chemise/shirt currently on my dress form, awaiting some buttons and a bit of tweaking. (Not completely happy with the pattern I drafted) There is also a gollar that I had to do some major re-working on (I used a commercial pattern, and I'm very un-pleased about the fit) and I'm now at the trimming stage with it. Fabric for the gown has been sitting in my stash for over 10 years, I finally found and purchased my border fabric this weekend and I found my stash of ribbons/trims that I have been stockpiling for this outfit over the years. Finally hit critical mass with this one, so it's time to sew!
