sister_raphael | Opening Ceremony Gowne cont... (Reply)

Yesterday I got almost the entire early 14th century gowne sewn (by machine as it's not reenactment clothing) and I'm pleased how shiny and feminine it is. You'd not guess it's made from satin curtain linings. Tonight hoping to make the rose crown that will go with it.

I still need to cut the sleeves to the right length, and hem them, but the biggest part is done. It's a very pretty champagne pink/white sort of colour. I'm also making 2 matching banners from the same fabric, hopefully tonight.

The girl who is going to wear it is coming for a try on later this week. She's smaller than me, so it should fit her just fine.
