The finished bliaut

[frualeydis]

The bliaut is finished, and has a long and detailed page about construction and a theory that I have on trim. Go see!



And that's Mysko of course.

Did you do the curved waist by doing the math and making the curve fit, or did you do it by getting someone else to pin the skirt onto your waist such that the hem looked nice, and then cutting off the bit above the pins, or...?

I just winged it, making it the opposite of the curve I usually make at the hem at the sides. If you gather your sides when lacing I actually think that you shouldn't make any curve, but just let the lacing adjust teh length of teh gown at the sides.
