Sexy, sexy dress
Jan. 21st, 2005 09:02 pmI just finished the lacing holes and tried on my new bliaut. And it's soo sexy. The defined waist and the rounded hips that are caused by the pleated on skirt gives it a sort of pre-raphaelite look, a more curvy medieval style. Usually I make bliauts in one piece and with gores, but there is enough evidence for the pleated on skirt to convince me that it existed too, although not so wide-spread as the "normal" type, and the result is great!
now I just have to put on the trim around the sleeves and around the neck.
Before I can take pictures of it I have to make a new girdle and a chainse to wear under it. But I know this dress will be wonderful. The only thing that I'm worried about is that it is made from thin habotai and though it has no problem taking the strain of lacing i'm afraid it will get caught in things and damaged. Well, it's partly a test piece so that won't be a total disaster, but I hope it won't happen.
