Dress-up
I had the evening to myself...
So I played dress-up!
[looking over these pictures, my time would perhaps have been better spent making use of the iron!]
The first piece of real person clothing I ever sewed was a Renaissance-style dress, made for the part of Audrey, the "country wench," in Shakespeare's As You Like It. After that, I fell in love with costumes, and found several ways to reuse my lace-up overdress pattern in different forms.
The chemise I wore this evening was made for my foray into 1600's style for a part in Moliere's The School for Husbands. That costume was a bit more complex, with a bum roll and steel-enforced corset.
I don't plan to wear this outfit to work tomorrow, but it was a nice way to spend an evening!

Wow i'm jelous i'm really in to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, atm
how did u make it?
I used Simplicity pattern 7756 (can't find it on simplicity.com, but saw several for sale on etsy and ebay if you're interested. The pattern is actually for a complete overdress and I adapted it to just make the top part. If making it again, I would lengthen it a little, forgot about that the first time and now the tabs at the waist are a little high. Sorry about the delayed response, hope you check back!
