Progress on Vendela's clothing

[frualeydis]

I remade an old a-line tunic of hers, made from heavy wool, to a shorter overdress for her gothic fitted dress:







I won't be making a hat, since she's fifteen and will be wearing her hair hanging, all wavy from being braided, and just a small fillet or garland.

It's only 3 metres at the hem and cartridge pelated. The earlier versions of this style have gored skirts instead of gathered, I like those too.

Cartridge pleating is nice :)

I am making a gored skirt, narrower at the top. We are making fantasy costumes (Warhammer), but I am following a Reconstruction History-pattern for the dress. And I bought many yellow and black ostrich feathers :)
