My husband took photos of me in my new green silk bliaut this morning. I promised I wouldn't start working on the web site immediately, we have a lot of other things to do, but I've put up one picture
I'm very happy with the way it turned out. There are some things I need to fix before i wear it, like a better, more gliding lacing cord. I also need to sew hooks and eyes along the lower part of the neck opening. Now it is held closed by two brooches and it is'nt very practical. When I stop nursing I will sew the edges of the lower part of the opening together but for now I need a secure but easy to open fastening.

I really like that dress!

How did you construct the skirt? I've been looking at bliauts lately and wondering what the theories are on the skirt construction.

What a cool thing to wake up to
