Valeria's new 16th century German
Sep. 14th, 2014 02:07 pmIt has been finished since July at least, but has been too warm and I have been too busy to force her to pose in it. It's (of course) based on the works of Lucas Cranach, but we chose one of the less common, earlier styles that he painted: with a skirt that is mostly gored with just a few pleats in the back, whole sleeves and it is laced shut.
It's made from wool an lined with linen and all hand sewn. She made the bodice and I made the sleeves, skirt and sewed it all together. It has lacing rings and the cord used for lacing is made in lucet from wool yarn. The nice littel wreath is also made from wool, but felted, and is made by vicomtess Wilhelmina Weydeharz (spelling?).
