Pictures of Kristina Gyllenstierna

I spoke with Filippa asking about this source of an images howing a woman wearing a cloak/cape and it turns out it's a sculpture. I tried looking on the 'net and found a few images.

Herjolfsnes ponderings and progress

So I've gotten quite a lot done on the H39 - all (6) gores are now stitched into place, and the seams felled. I've pinned the two side seams together, but not done anything further. I'm pondering what to do about the armholes. They're huge as it is now. Filippa mentioned I might have waited doing the shoulder seam and neckline until I had that sorted, but doing that would raise my centre gores to un attractive height (to my mind). It would also mean having the side-gores flaring out at the same place - quite high up. So I think I'll want to add a bit of piecing under the arm.

Also still pondering if I should do something about the sleeves I have to make them the conform to the rotated sleeve bit. Maybe add a false seam. But that'd be a silly amount of work to put in on this dress.
