The 16th century short coat is finished

I finished the short coat today, just before some guests arrived. This, and the fact that I have only one gown in the right style that I fit into, and that one is a shade of bright blue that clashes with the teal damask, made me just throw on a wool skirt, a partlet, my blingy pearl embrodiered cap and a bonnet to snap some photos.

Eventually I will have a new, more upper class dress in a colour that goes with teal, but I couldn't wait for that to happen before showing the finished coat in the blog. it won't get its own page until the whole outfit is finished, however.

I do not, in fact, plan to bring any 16th century costumes to Double Wars, I'll probably bring only 10th-12th century garb. Yes, not even bringing my precious Manesse style favourites.



In the right photo you can see that I haven't put my arms inside the sleeves, but just let them hang in the fashionable way ;).
