I’m stopped on my A&S project for the time being until I can purchase some new fabric for part of it - which I would be doing today but for some unforseen automotive repairs that cropped up. Soon, though.
Meanwhile, work proceeds apace on the 1520s aqua velveteen Florentine gown:
I’ve got the bodice almost done now, and it fits, yay! I had to alter an old pattern to make this and I was not at all sure about the resizing I was doing, but apparently I did it correctly.
The side back openings are safety pinned together for the time being so I can put it on without the lacings for fitting purposes; the next step is to trim up the bottom to the right length and then close it up.
I laid the gold and teal trim over the bodice today for the first time to see how they look together - I think this is going to be beautiful! I have some gold lacing rings coming to me via SCA Express (a friend is bringing me some from her stash), and then I’ll be able to finish this thing and get started on the skirts and sleeves.
Woohoo!
