Tudor dress update pictures

[frualeydis]

My tudor dress, based mostly on the Holbein sketch of the More family is almost finished. What remains to do is to re-hem the kirtle that I shortened and make the plastron/stomacher and sew it to one side. I also need to buy some good reproduction brass pins to pin the sleeves with and so. Anyway,here are some preview pictures of the dress without the plastron a.k.a. the pregnant look.



The kirtle is a little big and won't keep my breasts compressed and lifted. For the non-pregnant look I will wear a corset under it so it won't be so noticeable, especially not with the plastron on top of it. But I couldn't wear the corset for the pregnant look. That's why it looks a little wonky on the sitting picture. And I have a pillow under the kirtle.

You sneaky you - I had no idea you had come this far.

Now I simply have to stop by to have a look at it. And maybe play that cool new game too. Terrible, isn't it?

Yes, that would be great! We don't have any particular plans tonight for example. You could get meatballs (Mamma Scan) at six if you want.

I'll just pop back home quickly to pick up some sewing then. (Which incidentally means I have to quit on time and no later today. Not a bad idea in itself)
