I started this project back in August 2012. Read more on the historical background of this garment here and also here and the first post about the work in progress here.
This is what it looks like finished (well sort of, I still have to make a proper lace):
 |
| Finished shirt |
 |
| Side lacing |
 |
| Small pleats in the skirt |
Very well done. There are those who try to deny this garment existed (even with all the examples *outside* the Wenceslas Bible), but it makes so much more sense than everything being held up by your cote.
ReplyDeleteInteresting post ;)
ReplyDeleteI made mine front lace for ease of breast feeding. Did you find any images of front lacing. I have seen images of tunics with nursing slits, but not bust support with much easy access.
