Half a flemish
Right, when I summed up the year it seemed like there were quite a few projects that I never showed you guys pictures of, so I'm gonna get right on to that.
The 16th century flemish ensemble isn't technically finished, since the overgown still needs a few eyelets and a hem, but I, being clever for once, made the kirtle of wool too, so both can be worn as outer garments, meaning the kirtle and co have actually been worn to 3 events already.
Meaning I shoulda been a good girl and posted some pictures. ;o)
Everything is handsewn with waxed linen thread.
The first two pictures are a somewhat anachronistic homage to all the flemish women Aertsen painted at the stove or generally in the kitchen. The third pic, at Visby Medieval Week, is showing the versatility of removable sleeves and partlets. I really love that aspect of the flemish. Once I've finished the gown and its matching new blue sleeves there'll be lots of combo possiblities! =)
