Today is the first day of the Calontir Clothing Challenge, and I have decided to have a go. I can't really give it a lot of attention until I hand over an SCA Officer position later in the month, but I have been working out what I am planning to do.
My plan is to make a mid-sixteenth century Italian noblewoman's ensemble. Making a decision on exactly which gown to make has been difficult. I will post some inspiration pictures later on.
I've already changed my plans for fabric as my original fabric did not take dye well. I have a nice patterned cotton for the main gown and some linen blend fabric for sleeves. The sleeve fabric was purchased for the previous (darker) fabric. Hopefully it will work! I usually wear darker colours, so this will be a departure from the norm for me.
