Progress on the dress...
So I ended up deciding on the 14th c for now. It is the easiest to alter down and I can have it ready for Winter Tourney in a couple weeks. It will be good to look fresh and happy.
That is the pattern layout and an idea of how it should look. Approximately.
Now what I really need is 2 metres of a nice fine long staple white linen to make a quick and dirty ruffle veil to go with, though honestly I can use a plain veil. Everyone is wearing a ruffled veil and I know very well how I dislike wearing what everyone else is wearing. But they are pretty! ;)
I need to rummage for my fine silver plated leaves that I bought a while ago. I want to paint the slightly tarnished/oxidized ones with a green clear nail polish so they look enameled and then sew them onto the dress neckline or across the front of my briggita coif so they show at the forehead. Save the clean silver ones to use as bezants or something...
I suppose I shall also have to cast more buttons, I don't really have enough to do the lower sleeves currently. And the only tippets I have are the ones from when I was on Devin and Aurora's ret when they were Baron and Baroness. I could wear them anyways, I was happy then.
