A Royal Commission

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

I have been hesitant to share this at first. But as the weeks get closer for the start of the MNRF season, I said.."What the heck!"

A Rochester couple came to me on 2 July for a need to have a Doublet made for the season. It turns out that we share the same Hair stylist. After sharing their dilema, my name was given out as well as my email address. After much going back and forth, we finally met.

The Doublet in question is for Prince James, brother of King Henry at the MNRF. The doublet will be of a Coppery Tarnished Gold fabric with tons of 4mm Black Diamond Cut beads sewn on in a  geometric design that will sparkle in the sunlight.  Striping will be narrow balck soutach. There will be added Black piping, buttons down the front.

When you attend the MNRF, be sure to say hello to the Prince. I was told that doing a commission for a cast member who plays a ROYAL is a big deal.

Congrats on your commision.

[Marietta Graziella]

Huzzah and congratulations!!!!  Can't wait to see it in person this season

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Sounds beautiful, Lady K.  Sadly, we can't make the trip to MN this year but will look forward to seeing it the next time we visit there.

I'll be looking for your work on the Prince,as well as wearing my own bit of your work!

[peggyelizabeth]

how wonderful!
I'm sure it will be beautiful & I can't wait to see it on the Prince. BTW, is he single? He's not terribly disfigured from the pox or somewhat crazy is he?

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

Alas and sad to say that the Prince is already spoken for.   

[peggyelizabeth]

well, I'm already spoken for too, but you can't blame a girl for trying!

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

The Royal Commission  so far.


There will be cuffs for the sleeves, Tabs at the shoulders, and of course, as collar. An unfished idea as to how things will look. The Prince will outshine the King.



As you can see, the soutach gives the Doublet a richer look, giving texture to the amin fabric. The beading will shimmer in the sunlight. I will post the finished product in the sewing thread.

[Phelyp, Lord Maydestone]

That is looking beautiful!  Knowing John, he won't like being outshone.  Now I have something to tease him about!

[Capt Gabriela Fullpepper]

Very beautiful as always Kathy.

Keep up the great work. I look forward to working with you again.

[nliedel]

That is stimply the most stunning garb I've ever seen.

[Sorcha]

Very lovely.  I can't wait to see the finished doublet!

The beading and soutach on on the sleeves. There are over 350 4mm beads on each sleeve. Imagine what the Doublet Body will have.

Thanks everyone. The Prince will happy to know that he will be well recieved.

[Lord Figaro]

Abso-floggin-lutley beautiful Lady Kathleen. It's gonna look incredible, of this I have no doubt.
