Majas new 16th century dress

[frualeydis]

This is a kirtle which can be worn as a dress on it's own. The plan is to make a pine green wool gown to go with it. With hanging sleeves. She was very uncooperative when it came to taking photos so I'm actually surprised there are any. Click on them to see larger images.

Wow. That's a fearsome face in that last photo.

The dress is gorgeous, and it looks absolutely adorable on her.

My girls aren't much into that smiling thing.

*squee*! Pretty pretty princess! :) She looks lovely - even through the LOOK OF DEATH in the last photo. ;)

Thanks.
Are you afraid your girls will turn into pink princesses?
Or of having to make 16th century garb on top of everything else?

oh, I already have a pink princess. YoungerM has a pink soul. But late period will have to wait until we get around to Secret Project No. 12...

Pretty kirtle, adorable girl! What a lucky kid she is! Wow. Pine green and pink are gonna look yummy. :-)

Vad gullig hon är. :) Kommer hon ha den på medeltidsveckan? Får se till att ta med min lila grej så kan hon och jag springa runt och vara lila och rosa när vi leker. :D

She looks *so* like her older sisters in that last photo.

Yep, they're not alike really, but there's something about those non-smiling faces.

It's lovely. Pity that she wasn't interested in being photographed when you took the shots, though. Does she like the dress?

[frualeydis.livejournal.com]

She loves it. I have to hide it so that it doesn't get dirty before she has a chance to wear it at an event.

It's wonderful that your daughter loves pretty period clothes as much as her mother does.

She looks adorable, if a bit grumpy. :-)
