I cut out the overdress for my Florentine (1480's..ish) gown. I've only been planning on this gown for two or three years now so I'm catching up. :-) The overgown is a grape-y purple with tannish vines all over it. The undergown is going to be a heavy weight tan jacquard.


I should have pictures up by tuesday if I'm lucky. Which I'm not lately so I'm going to say Thursday instead... I'm going to use it as part of the Storvik Then and Now A&S at Novice. The Florentine will be the "now" of course; but what should I use for the then "then"?

The blue isn't really all that bad. It actually passes if I wear my blue twill coat over it but the silver silk organza sleeves are attached and are now pink after an incident with the washing machine. It's the old Ever After Simplicity pattern. The pink skirt...well...I wore it to fairy fest so I think that
feymaker at least knows what it looks like. I typically belt up the over gored side and you can't tell it's a total mess too much. I really have no idea how I sewed it like that to this day. It's just...heavy on one side. It's amusing to see lying out but the blue gown was really my first piece of "garb".
I've also gotten a lot of progress on all three of the various clients gowns and chemises. I can work on them all tomorrow and might be able to send 'em out Saturday. (Woohoo!)
And then there is the slow embroidery progress on the Helena of Snakenborg gown. I'll have that done before Pennsic 37. :-) The gown is easy...it's the darn shirt! I know how it's to me constructed, I can even do the ruff moderately quickly...but the embroidery....98 strawberries more to go!
