That kirtle is spectacular!!! Love the color, the fit is amazing, and the workmanship... wow. Hats off to you.

(I don't supposed you haven't to get a side shot showing the lacing? I love side lacing. I used it on my kirtle, and it gives such a fantastic look.

[CenturiesSewing]

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. 


Valencia I don't have any shots of the side lacing on this one, but my default for it is spiral lace up on both sides through hand made eyelets.

Well I fixed the sleeves and added trim.  Hopefully it does not look colonial anymore.  I used the simplicity pattern for the sleeves.  I did not have enough material for the sleeves so I used something I had already for the back of the sleeves and the panel in the back.  I was trying to decide what to do with the lace around the neck and I tucked it in.  It popped back out on either side and I thought it was cute so I sewed it down that way.  I got the hat off of etsy and added feathers and a strip of matching material.  Does the hat look okay or is it too much?  It is suppose to get cold but if it didn't I think it would be way too hot.  I feel like I have two tapestries hanging of my arms. LOL

Huzzah, Julie!!  Love the hat to pieces. Fabulous. And I love the contrast panel at the back. You look terrific!

[juliap]

Thanks for the compliment.  I wore it to the festival and had some fun.  Thanks everyone for your help on fixing my dress. 

[DonaCatalina]

Wow Julia, nice makeover.

Oh my gosh that came out so cute Julia and I think the hat is fun. I'm so glad you got your gown finished in time and enjoyed your first visit to faire in style.
