liadethorneggeYep! I brought with me my working class gown to mend at sewing circle, but Agnes had remembered and we ended up doing the fitting for her, myself and Sara for a gothic fitted dress.
We turned out three patterns and I started on a dress diary for what will be the result eventually. I collected my links, saved down some primary sources and wrote some stuff down.

... is the place to look for updates.
I may cut out a quick and dirty bliaut-esque gown as well out of a crummy blue wool I have. Not sure how much of it I've got though, and might make it toward the English side, rather than the Full French Folly, meaning smaller sleeves and not so much rucking. Anyway, we'll see about that. If I do it quickly it might just end up as <b>another</b> crash and burn project like the Brown Bliaut...and we don't want that. No, we don't.
Of course, Agnes is also talking about that period, with the new Compleat Anachronist out by Arianne de Chateaumichel. Though she has been talking about that since before Visby even, when that fine periodical had not yet been published. She's pulling me along with her in the garbing madness now that she's stepped down as Princess of Nordmark and has the time and energy to play the SCA in her own favourite way.
