New fabric

[frualeydis]

Amidst all the sickness and work stress I have finally gotten interested enough to buy fabric for a kirtle to wear under my wedding dress from 2003; thus making it a 15th century Venetian outfit. It's a printed silk, which I know is wrong, but at least it's silk taffeta and it's very pretty. I may even decide to use the unprinted side. The deadline is the SCA event Civil Wars in September.

Edited to add photo:


I've just put the fabric inside the wedding gown to give an idea of how it's supposed to look.

I love the combination of the colors, and I love that you've got a patterned fabric on the inside of the dress. So many people miss that 15th century Venetians put their patterns on the ~inside~ of their garments.
