New 16th century dress

[frualeydis]

It's almost finished - I'm heading over to the neighbour for tea now and will bring some hooks and eyes to make the openings in the skirt in the back stay closed.

Wow indeed! What kind of fabric is it?

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

Errhmm. Printed cotton, including gold print. I bought it in one of the shops on Goldhawk road.

Ooh, now you're tempting me to do a London detour....

My goodness you are pretty! :-)

Wow. That's a really strong pattern. I like it.

The pattern makes me go "OMG 16th century people were *insane*"


Or maybe it's just frualeydis :P

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

A bit of both?

OMG THAT PATTERN. 16th century psychedelia? ^^

Anyway, gorgeous as usual!

Eleonora de Toledo would so wear that. Awesome!

It doesn't hurt the eyes that way IRL.

You are crazy. Crazy like a fox! :-)

They certainly were an intense lot, weren't they?

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

Well, like the people in the Middle Ages they liked colour and pattern if they could get it.

I love that pattern, it's very reminiscent of the Eleanor of Toledo dress.

OMG I *love* that pattern. I want a few dresses like that for everyday wear !

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

That would be nice yes.

Thank you. It was my inspiration, though she of course didn't have any gowns in printed cotton. But Katehrine de Medici had - in 1599. Probably not this type of print however.

I love that pattern! The dress really shines with it! And you've used it well in the shape of the bodice and the black edge at the top and the bottom is gorgeous! *envy*
