There really isn't enough space in my closet for all my garb, and when you add the fact that there's quit a lot there that I haven't fit into for 20-25 kilos, something had to be done. So today I have sorted out too small garb that I still want to keep for sentimental reasons (I might change some of them for Valeria later). I have already got rid of lots of garb years ago, but these I want to keep.
There's still garb to pack away, but I don't have any more plastic tubs to put them in (I'm not having the moth problem again), but at least there is more space in my closet now. Which is good, since I realized that I have no 16th clothing that fit me anymore except my two Swedish outfits. And my two loose gowns, but I can't be naked under them, so they need new under gowns.
I'm not sure if I'll bring any 16th century garb to Double Wars so I'm not in a hurry, but I feel like sewing now, so I may start on something anyway. I have a semi-circular piece of teal damask that I plan to make one of those Germanic 16th century short, wide jackets from. It won't solve the problem of not having any gowns that fit, but since I am trying to lose weight, I will probably wait a little while before making a new fancy gown. The jacket I can wear no matter what size I am.
I have been looking through several Trachtenbücher and have found examples with shrot sleeves and with long sleeves, with fur lining and with fabric lining. I will line it in some nice fabric, but I can't decide about the sleeves yet. As my body is aching a lot right now I won't start cutting now, so I have some time to think about it.
