frualeydisAfter trying to fix the sleeves on my gothic fitted dress from 1998 (or 97) that had made larger armscyes on to me teh cut more period correct, by adding triangula rgussets I had reached a working solution. But it just wasn't good enough.
So I decided to make it a short sleeved GFD and make fancy sleeves to wear with it. I did start on the fancy sleeves and I had planned to ask Anna to help me with the sleeves on the GFD tonight. But then I got too tired and too much in pain, so I just spent most of my time on my acupuncture mat talking to Anna, and another friend: Gaby. It will be tricky to get the sleeves right and I have very little fabric to work with, so I won't rush this project.
My 15th century gown from 1999 also had some issues, so I won't be wearing that one this weekend either.
It's okay, I have more garb than anyone needs. And I'll just go for something less sexy, but very cool, like my striped brocade 1330s italian gown. it's the right period for my coronet too.
