I think I like it even better than the original :-) I plan on this being the next era I try, but I'm starting out with a 1910's corset so I have the foundation to build upon.unicornemporiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749729958486641553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-11916074302283598762013-03-08T05:08:14.694-08:002013-03-08T05:08:14.694-08:00Oh yes, I know where you're coming from! I can...Oh yes, I know where you're coming from! I can make a robe a la francaise with very few troubles, but I have yet to make a simple medieval dress that I don't mess up somewhere! Even when drafting the patterns according to very popular instructions to measure, they end up fitting horribly, and something as plain as putting triangular gores between rectangular skirt pieces seems really difficult for me at times. <br />And yet the same gore problem seems a breeze to me if it's in the underarm piece of a rococo shift! I also messed up three attempts at 15th century padded jacks for my husband...<br /><br />Super weird. I can make corsets and tailor a suit with horsehair inlays, but I bet I'd fail at making a greek chiton.

I made it from the same pattern that I used for the jacket to go with it but some how the gilet ended up being 4 cm too big around the waist while the jacket fitted fine,...and of course I discovered this when the gilet was finished in all it's glory.<br />I'm on a deadline so I fixed the fit temporarily, but I'm so angry at it right now because before I had to do the alteration it was so perfectly neat finished both on the inside, outside front and back. Now the back looks like hell >:( <br />But the jacket will cover the ugly back so I guess I can live with it until I can make a pretty lace up back instead.<br /><br />/LLithia Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348636694865999092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-9008668603757089282013-03-07T17:55:01.154-08:002013-03-07T17:55:01.154-08:00Great Save!Great Save!Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503575115890484788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953319607326764763.post-78513637553110341842013-03-07T16:25:31.002-08:002013-03-07T16:25:31.002-08:00I am imagining that it might be possible to do wit...I am imagining that it might be possible to do with all darts at the top but I think it would be sooooo much easier with a gored skirt. You can still piece in long godets, if you have the patience, but I think the solution you came up with is pretty inventive. Of course what the pattern isn't showing you very clearly is that the raised waist is probably just a little bit higher in the back than the front. Which I think is half the battle in getting dresses from this period to hang correctly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779580697403210566noreply@blogger.com
