It was windy today and my cap was not cooperating. I also apparently had my cap too far forward on my head. But it was a long day!

A Plain Jane Gown
Nothing fancy, but very practical, and easily made "nice" and "respectable" with a few choice accessories. The gown is made from brown worsted wool and lined with linen, and is entirely hand sewn using period construction. The weather is quite cool this week, so I am happy to have a nice warm gown to wear while working in the tent shop! Some mitts are definitely in order, as well as a short cloak...

Gorgeous in its simplicity! How long did it take you to make?
ReplyDeleteI always prefer simple clothing, prefferably lower class (but still fine enough not to be in rags), so naturally I love this. It certainly let the construction stand out in a beautiful way.
ReplyDeleteSo cozy! I love the color and simplicity of it :). All your dresses fit you so well :D. Lovely work, I can't wait to see the mitts!

You say "Plain Jane," but it's still utterly gorgeous! The details are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI am madly in love with this - I really need to learn some proper period techniques!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your "Plain Jane" dress is seriously beautiful! I love how you did the back and hand sewn? Whoot! That is so impressive!!! LOOOOVE it!!

ReplyDeleteSometimes the simpler you go, the more elegant the look, and this shade of brown is just lovely. You look quite perfectly period! :-)
