jenthompson's site to look through the Italian working class kirtle research she has put together. After looking, I think I want to add trim to the neckline and shoulderstraps of my surcote lining kirtle. And looking at the sources, I think that I want that trim to be yellow, like Campi's Fruit Seller.
I'm stumped as to how exactly I will accomplish this. I have some of the yellow linen that I have lined everything with left. But it's scraps, I'm not at all sure I can get strips long enough to be useful. In which case I'd have to go out and buy something suitable. I'm not going to do that, though.
I still have to hem the damnable thing.
I prolly should make myself a partlet with ruffle too, to go with it. I might also take the cotton camica that has drawstring neckline and sleeves and alter it to sew the neckline to a fixed band, and pleat the sleeves to a fixed width. I don't like the drawstrings, but the camica itself is nice enough.
