Project | Middle Tudor Gown For Urslemas |
Pattern or Source | Simplicity pattern 2589 for the sleeves and stomacher, my own for the bodice and skirt. I altered my original pattern back, to a v. Worked pretty well for helping to keep the shoulders up. |
Materiels Used | Brown Suiting, Brown linen for lining. Light brown for the Skirt, and a Synthetic creamy brown silk for the undersleeves and Forepart. |
Date Started | October 2012 |
Date Finished | December 2012 |
Status | Comfortable 😀 |
Problems | The Skirt is two layers of a very silky material, and it didn’t cartridge pleat well at all, so i had to alter the pleats to a double box pleats, which worked amazingly well. I also had to hem it 3 times to get the correct length. |
Modifications | Other than doing double box pleats instead of single box pleats to the back then cartridge pleats across the middle back, and having to hem it a lot, it worked out well. I like the way the double box pleats hang… it works beautifully. |
