My daughter in the French court garb that she designed and I made.  The lovely silver embroidery was done by a fellow costumer with a great embroidery machine.  Sarah made her groom's clothing and did a great job of tailoring his coat and getting the collar of the waistcoat just right.   I have really been impressed with the speed in which her skills have advanced!  She is one year from getting her BFA in Tech Theater with a focus on costuming and make-up.

Very beautiful.  The gown is lovely, too!

Thanks all, I thought that my daughter was a lovely bride, but I come with a lot of biased in that direction. 

Lady K, wow! that is a nice doublet.  I would be interested in seeing a shot of it on the person you made it for.

I've finished my Elizabethan loose gown and kirtle.... it's much too big for me, as I'm not keeping it - but I like to have a picture of myself in everything I make.  It's completely washable, and the main fabrics (purple velvet and embossed butter yellow cotton) are drapes from a thrift store... the fuschia linen and buttery gauze were purchased, as was the trim and buttons.  This was a fun project, and I love how it turned out!

[Lady Caroline]

That is so pretty, LaurenLee! 

[LadySeasan]

Ok Ladies!  I am finished! Well I had to be finished to wear the dress to opening day for the MDRF, but....now I have PICTURES!

Here you go!

[Lady Kathleen of Olmsted]

[Marietta Graziella]

Huzzah to the seamstresses!

LadySeasan, your sewing skills are growing by leaps and bounds.  Congratulations on another triumph!

[LadySeasan]

thank you so much! i loved it, and received many compliments and suggestions on it. it was fun talking about techniques and such to make the next piece better. but for now, i am gonna keep this as my main piece. there are still some adjustments i would like to make to it, but i love this piece

the next project is my boyfriends doublet   which i look forward to making. 

and i will probably do another dress, but this time i must get a real hoopskirt
