12th Night Costuming To Do list

[mmcnealy]

So I decided that I would just go later period for now, if I have time I may whip out a 1500ish dress for comforts sake, they don't look that complicated.

Finish already started
-Farthingale
-Smock


New projects
-New corset (Black silk outside, peach linen on the inside, weedwacker line for the stiffening)
-Schaube (Big warm coatey thing with large fur collar, dark red wool with mink fur)
-Goldhaube (Gold silk satin, embroidered with black silk thread and pearls)
-Cute little black velvet hat, decorated with gold washed brass beads

Still not sure about the color scheme of the outside garments. I have a great idea (and the fabric for) a really cool doublet made out of this brilliant green silk and velvet trim, its based off of a grave find from 1574. The original is a man's garment, but its such a gorgeous piece!

-Petticoat/Underskirts (silk tafetta)
-Skirt (with banding, not sure what color)
-Doublet (probably green silk with black velvet trim)
-Jerkin (Slashed satin, like the original?)
The goal of all these projects is to use fabric that is already in my possesion, no buying new fabric unless its been determined that what I have just won't work at all.

You Rock!!!! I have the disk for you of Fiach's Saxon garb. Remember as you look at it that we are 16th century, 16TH CENTURY , not 11th-YC

I posted one of the dresses I will be wearing. I am still working on the one for the ball. If I have time then I will do the third one. Time is running short though and there is so much to do. Your gowns sound just loverly by the way.

Serena-Your gown looks beautiful. I am only making one gown for court. The rest of the time I will be in my Lower class 15th Century with turban. 12th night is going to be such fun

Well, Thank you! I just recently got really involved in the SCA so I have very little garb. I am playing catch up as fast as I can though. All these events just give me a reason to work faster. You can bet I won't be tromping around in them this summer though.

Where did you post it? I can't find the link, or is it the Tudor that you're wearing in your profile pic?

I would too! That would mean that I had something accomplished already. ;) I'll post them when I get some.

I'll be posting some scans that I'm using as inspiration, maybe I'll even get my act together and get a diary going. Eegaads, that's a scary thought.
