Well, I did it now

Finished stitching up all major seams of my ropa. Felled to the sides and topstitching along the seams. Looks nice. Now I have to start thinking again. How to cut out the collar, what to do about shoulder treatment. The links aclisto posted earlier today were awesome for inspiration, and I might use one of those images.

I may take some close-ups of my seams as well, who knows. And may start a diary for the ropa too. Possibly.

LATER:
Yup, took a couple of shots. Also put the lining inside the shell and put it on, it swishes nicely even when nothing is attached. I almost want to pull out my farthingale to try it on ontop of that. Also almost want to put on my doublet-bodice kirtle and try it ontop of -that-.

Well, if you've got images of ropa/loose gowns with great big mutton chop sleeves I would really love to see those! See what kind of embellishment, if any, were favoured for this kind of garb.
