My pink 16th century gown

[frualeydis]

The second part of my Master's test in Nordrike is now finally completed. Well, it hasn't been approved yet, but all the parts are made, the ruff is starched and set and I have now also photos of the whole ensemble. To refresh your memory: This is the painting were I got the dress from (you can also click on the tags and get all the other posts on the subject).
I don't have the time to make a web page about it yet, it will probably not turn up until later in the summer, but at least I have some photos.

The bodice of the pink gown is too tight, tighter than the corset. I may have to insert a couple of centimetres somewhere, probably mid back, or loose the 3 kilos I've gained since last July when I did most of the patterning. Because of this it's hard to put on, but it's very nice and comfortable when worn.
I need to get hair gel or something for my bangs too, spray is fine to keep it in place, but I need something to help me put it there.

Odd, my first reaction was that it fits insanely nice in the bodice. Or maybe it's just that I like the general "line."

It does, but it is very strained.
