Dress Diary- Brown Florentine Gamurra 1474-80
This is my dress diary to date for my latest dress
18/2
Starting a new dress…
( cut for text and pictures )
This dress is entirely hand sewn, all visible sewing is done in silk thread, all unseen sewing is just done in synthetic thread, I would have used all silk if I had enough. Please excuse the dorky hair and bad photos as usual. Later this year my group are getting some proper photos done outside, so I will have nice photos and not ones in my messy bedroom taken with the camera’s timer!

Since I last posted I haven’t done much- but I have new shiny photos.
I have pleated the second large panel, and sewn both to the bodice. I have also half put some trim round the neckline, and am going to add embroidery to that. I still have the mini panel to peat and attach, and have to sew all the panels together (yes, I should be doing this by sewing all the panels together, pleating them then sewing them to the bodice but I get impaitent to see how it will look), sleeves to do, and to hem the thing. I have to draft an improved sleeve pattern too!
I took some photos with the sleeves from the other dress for fun..

If you want to see a bigger version of the first pic, then you can full view it at my DA http://kathelyne.deviantart.com/art/1474-8
For those that like to download HUGE pics, you can do that there too.
Thanks for reading!
