costuming future plans
Ok, so tired I am, but physically. Mentally, I am still awake.
So, I want to list out the various items I will need for my next projects, which have to be things I can wear now and after I've lost the weight.
Do for Costume College
loose kirtle covered with ??? (not sure which fabric to use for decorative front panel and sleeves)
loose gown with lots of trimmings in gold and pearls.
Do for Hanford RoK:
Tudor foresleeves
Tudor Gable
Refit Tudor outfit
Embroidery projects to work on at events
Tudor linen partlet with blackwork
fitted loose-gown sleeves with blackwork
Projects for whenever
tall hat with tall feather in the back
new suit of ruffs and cuffs (1590s)
1590s polychrome embroidered front panel materials for 1590s bodice front (I need to find an inspiration painting sometime this summer).
Spanish farthingale
French farthingale
I will be lucky to get half of that list done, you know. The Tudor and comfort gown stuff I really need to do.
I would still love to do some Victorian stuff, but I am not thinking on that line right now, not to mention that the corset must be fitted first. Maybe after I get some Tudor stuff done first.
Also want to make up a simple "medieval" outfit for Baronial (since it will be hot, and I want it all in linen). I have the Burda pattern, I just need to figure out colors and get the fabric, if I don't already have it in my stash.
Ok, now that this is down in writing, I can sleep. Otherwise, I would be tossing and turning with the thoughts.
