so here is the sketch for my high-class costume for Slo Faire in july, 2010.
i have a bodice and detachable long sleeves, with a woven detail that will be black silk shantung woven with silver (either shantung or taffeta), and silver pearls. still not sure if the overskirt and rest of the bodice will be a brocade or a solid color. brocades are pushing the budget, but we'll see. I am also working on an attifet that i saw in the newest season of tudors, which i wish i had a copy of, with a net to cover the back, and a braided hairpiece to be at the bottom with a long tail. Then of course a new set of period undies, with a silk corset, white cotton chemise with silver lace trim, a silk partlet (probably in white), my butt-enhancer (bumroll) and a corded petticoat made from a stiff black taffeta that i got today. My last bit will be the standing elizabethan collar, which i haven't really a set idea for how to attach to the bodice, but it is the last thing to make, and may get left off if i run out of time.
funny notes: when i drew the sketch and showed hubby, he said "boobs too small" so i added in the boob lines. he said he was satisfied.
-still curious how i will get in and out of a car with the collar. i know it will be detachable, but not sure yet how.
