Red Côte for Yule

Tada.  *yawn*  I'm getting a bit tired of cranking these out, though they're awfully nice to wear.  Easy, comfy, warm when they need to be, cool when they don't.

Plain red...mostly.

The neckline and sleeves are trimmed in navy blue.  There was originally going to be a wide band of the same color around the bottom of the dress, until I started putting it together and discovered that I'd neglected to cut out *one* of the trim pieces, and was out of fabric.  Fail.

It's hard to see in this picture (phone + mirror = not a great combo), but the buttons are arranged in groups of three. In between each set is a hidden hook & eye.

Navy trim.

This is going to be my outfit for Yule Revel.

If I get time between now and then, I'm going to make myself a liripipe hood to wear with this.

These are the buttons.  From BrazenButton.com

[Insert Stupid Pun Here]

Not much to post about lately - nothing terribly exciting, that is.  I'm working on a plain*, red cotehardie for Yule Revel + the choral performance, and plans for lots and lots of other things, including gifts, woodcrafts, and some spiffy jewelry.   Also a gown I plan to make, done after a Van Der Weyden painting, that I think is going to be quite the bomb-diggity.  I have to finish the Yule dress first, and all the other little things that are going to be happening over the next month.

* "plain," but with fabulous buttons, of course. ;)
