16th Century German Dress
I wrote a nice long diary post about this dress, and LJ very meanly ate it. I am in no mood to retype it, but I still want to share pictures. So here you go, the much shorter version:
I wanted to make a dress. These are images of the sort of dress I wanted to make. Also, it was the day before Pennsic. I had to work fast.
Yay pattern. It is the same as the pattern I used for this blue Italian dress.
Dress guards are awesome.
Ran out of time at home. Have to finish dress at war now.
I sewed pretty guards onto the skirt. Then I sewed the skirt to the bodice.
Done. Mostly. No closures yet.
Still no closures. I don't care; I sew myself in anyways.
I sewed myself in. Who needs closures? Awesome friend helps me pull the makeshift lacings tight.
Yay done. I look happy or something.
Still looking kind of happy. Ignore the massive amounts of Italian like qualities the outfit has. I am still calling it my German dress. Wearing this shift, and this apron.
Bleg, still happy. I guess it must have been a good dress. I will be adding sleeves to it later for more German-y goodness.
Sorry for lame short post. But I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
