A new mi-parti gown for Maja

[frualeydis]

Maja didn't really need more clothes right now, but then I bought this lovely, soft and draping yellow wool from Italienska Modetyger at a sewing faire. I bought all there was, but it was in no way enough for a gown. So mi-parti it had to be, and with Maja's arms being in red and yellow, red wool was an easy choice. It's no way near as soft as the yellow wool, but since the whole gown is lined with blue silk habotai even a kid may be able to wear it without dying from wool itchiness ;) (Except the yellow sleeve, I ran out of fabric and had to use red habotai in that one - contrast was important in the Middle Ages, so of course I couldn't use red in the red sleeve.)

The cut, which skims the body, but isn't tight, and the modest neckline would probably place this one in the 1330s or thereabout.



Now I'm going to rip of the skirt from Måns' waffenrock and replace it. And make Pies of Paris for dinner.

It looks great - and so does the short haircut - What a change!

Thank you. And indeed - she hasn't had this short hair since she was six. But it suits her, it shows her face better.
