Gothic fitted gown

It fits! I need to move over the top button to get the full correct look but other than that, it's fine. It's very 1370's~1380's in look. I just need to add tippets to the sleeves. I'll take pictures tonight. All and all, it's very comfortable and will look awesome with the darker violet hood.

See what happens when I get bored?

woohoo! It's a bit smaller in width than I wanted but I can easily expand the sides to make it 6' x 11'...which is the size I want. So, Pennsic trailer, here I come!!!!

Close up of the buttons on the gown. You can see the hand sewn buttonholes. I actually did a lot of hand sewing with the dress because of the bag lining. The neckline/front is all hand sewn to the lining and the sleeves are hand sewn closed.

The blue peacock 1550's ish Italian. For some reason, one side of the dress likes to "bend". And then there were the strap problems but that's easily fixed. I do have matching sleeves for the gown but it was too warm for the peacock feather sleeves.

For anyone in the Washington DC area

Unless Greenbelt homes has really weird rules regarding yard sales, I should be having one on May 3rd. There will be SCA related stuff (goblets, garb), material (lots and lots of fabric, probably some trims too), and regular old clothing. For now, I'm going to say 10 am until 3 pm.
