14th Century
On the list of things I'm really bad at is posting finished projects if I don't immediately take pictures. Here's my belated post on the 14th century gown I made over the summer - or was it the end of the spring? Anyway, I got someone to take pictures at Costume College and finally put them on Flickr last week.
It's blue mid-weight linen lined with white cotton sateen. All the long seams are machine-sewn, and all the hemming was done by hand. The eyelets were done by hand too. I used a combination of information thatkoshka_the_cat posted about her medieval sewing several years ago and The Medieval Tailor's Assistant. The lace is my first foray into using a lucet. The gown is worn over a smock, plus stockings and garters and shoes - definitely easy for underwear. The head linens are based on a combination of The Medieval Tailor's Assistant and a medieval blog (https://handcraftedhistory.blog/tag/how-to-make-a-medieval-veil/). They're a light-weight linen that has been hand-hemmed. I made narrow hems but not rolled hems. They're held together with straight pins.
I wore it to the Thursday night gathering at Costume College. With only the face showing, it was interesting how few people recognized me. Once I went up and started talking to people I knew, they knew me, but I'm not sure anyone knew it was me before I went to them.
