Medieval Dress/ I Finally Finished It!

Remember, those couple of posts I did about making a medieval dress? Well, I had it mostly finished but I never finished the embroidery around the sleeves and top. I put the project on hold for a while and I finally finished it as of yesterday!  I love the color and how it turned out! The neck is a little too open, next one I make I'll have to shrink it some more. Unless, I do the closure in the back I'll have to make the waist a little bigger, because I can't get it passed the shoulders on my manikin!








This is the only the second time I have ever shot a bow, and well I didn't relize my elbow was sticking up like that till I saw the picture. I'm sure there are other things that I am doing wrong but O'well.

    Thank You, ladies for your kind words:)

    Ashley, this is my third medieval style dress, but its the first one I have made out of a linen blend and in this style.

    Kara, I did model this dress after one of susans dresses. Here's were I first posted about it.

    It's a very beautiful dress! I have a medieval costume dress pattern and it's half way finished, I'm not a good sewer. My mom is though.

    Jessica, I think the first pose reminds me of the Sound of Music where she is singing "The hills are alive with the sound of music..." Great pics.

    Your dress is beautiful and what an interesting pastime to learn, to shoot a bow.
