My embroidered 13th century gown is finished

[frualeydis]

And this evening I will cut out Mån's matching gown. Wool, embroidered with cotton - it was impossible for me to get hold of a suitable silk yarn within resonable time. I comfort myself with the fact that there was cotton in Europe in the Middle Ages, though not very common.




I will make a page about it with documentation and more photos in my costume blog later. I've written about my striped and lined veil there previously.

Very nice indeed.

The embroidery really stands out.
