The 1550's Venetian dress bodice out of the blue brocade I got last year at Pennsic and dyed pink. I used two packages of scarlet red rit dye just to see what would happen. I totally love the color it came out as. I need to sew up and gather the skirt but I'll do that in the morning.
I need to also go and get wide double folded black bias tape for the surcote. The single fold worked for the sides but not for the back where it's pleated. It's just too thick to wrap the bias tape around the fabric at that point. However, I only need to do that and the hem and it's done so maybe another ten minutes of work. The pictures I took of it are atrocious because the coat is black and it's impossible to see the shape. It does have shape. Honest! I need to go outside and wear it over a gown to really show it off properly.
