I decided that I wanted to play with linen and did some quick research (first pair) and have cut out and started assembling a pair of braies. W00t. I shall bring them to sewing circle tomorrow, also my kirtle so that I can attempt to finish both.

ETA: Added an image of the braies cut out of white linen. Maybe a bit long, but I can cut them down without much trouble if need be.

Woot! I get to see Lia's underwear! ;)

So when are you making me some? ;)

I'm on a quest for period undies. I've only been working on the hose for ... two years.

When will you send me the measurements? I need waist, thigh and waist to knee lengths.

Come and get 'em yourself. We're putting up the spare bed this weekend :)

Dude - hook me up with a ticket and I'll be there. Otherwise, there's still the little problem of my cash lack-of-flow. :(

Pah, small details. Which are your nearby airports again?

I am located in Uppsala, which makes the Stockholm airports closest to me. Stockholm, Arlanda; Västerås, Skavsta.

You know, you could probably buy a pair of hand-made braies domestically for a very fair price. Putting me on a plane is not likely to be the cheapest alternative.

I would love to come visit and I'll happily make you a pair of braies - this is just a check-point at which you can still come to your senses :)

Well, the way I figure it is, if we keep our eyes open well in advance, then we can pick up a cheap flight for the taxes, and you can come visit, and go into London for the V&A and BM.

Aah, excellent, a positive testimonial! Thank you :)

Have you tried any other way to make 'em? I found a couple other pattern as well, but decided to go with the simplest one to start with.
