Description

This is my layers photo: [link]
Kirtle almost finished: [link]
Changing shape: [link]
Almost finished without sleeves [link]

So I said in my journal about loosing weight, this no longer fits, though it doesn't look so bad in this photo. It feels bad though, virtually no support, I was slipping down!

Anyway, this is how it looked the last time I wore it (only it wasn't as loose!)

I will adjust the layers photos so you can see all the layers, but what I am wearing is:
Shift: a 60/40 linen/cotton blend (I think, or it might have been the 100% linen bit, I've forgotten!), hand sewn. Will be re-sewing it as I was going to do french seams and didn't, and the edges are unfinished and it is a tad looser than I would like around the bust area (I know shifts are meant to be loose, but this is just a tad too loose for my liking)
Hose: 100% linen, bias cut and hand sewn. these used to fit perfectly, but no more... they are now too loose!
Garters: Wool, flat finger loop braided
Shose: I nicked my sister's shoes for the photos (you can't see them in this one) because mine are not finished yet.
Veil: just a cotton as my linen one was missing. done in a turban style
Under kirtle (blue dress): 60/40 linen/cotton blend. My friend made on the machine, but its hand finished by me. I need to take this in, as it no longer supports, is loose. It has NEVER been loose before...
Pink Kirtle: needs to be taken in a third time. Made out of wool and 100% hand sewn
Sleeves: same linen as hose, hand sewn. Held on with normal sewing pins that I crushed the heads off and replaced with real pearls. I lost my period pins (oops), but now I won't feel embarrased if anyone sees the pins! Its an attempt, lol
Apron: linen, wrinkly cos its been on my floor for ages, since July, hand sewn.
Pouch: Its a great size and can hold heaps of stuff, and I don't really care how period it is, its pretty. Hand sewn, hand embriodered, tassels made by me. the blue is a scrap from my blue kirtle, and the green is a scrap from my green elizabethan skirt.
Earings: not period, forgot to take them out

And thats ALL I'm wearing. I will pit up more photos in me scraps, its interesting how the shape has changed! and I will re-do the layer photo with a mix of old and new photos, then thats the last you will see of this outfit.
