Description
This is finally finished and photos have been taken, please excuse the wrinkles, my iron died today. -.-
Run down of all the layers.
Cotton/linen smock: Machine sewn with hand finished seams and hems.
Cuffs: Machine "blackwork" with silk thread, hand hemmed, they lace on to the smock cuffs with fingerloop braid so I can change them out as needed and wash them separately.
Rust red petticoat: same one I wear with all my clothing.
Farthingale: Made years ago from bottle green shot curtains and cottong twill, it used to be boned with plastic tubing but I redid it with wire rope, I need to rework this again with a lighter grade, it weighs about 5 pounds (Or at least feels like it). Laces to kirtle bodice.
Side lacing kirtle bodice: Cotton twill lined with muslin face/upperbodied with velvet where it shows with brass and glass pearls edging. No boning.
Velvet kirtle skirt based off of Juan de Alcega's patterns, lined in cotton, can be laced to the kirtle bodice.
The tie in undersleeves are of the same velvet, flatlined to black cotton twill and edged with black satin, more glass pearls catch them together between faux linen/cotton poofs.
Green silk dupioni-ish gown, spiral laces up through hand done silk eyelets, interlined with cotton twill and lined with linen/rayon blend. Placard is lightly boned and hooks over it. The skirt is flatlined with light weight cotton and lined with a warm brown linen/rayon blend. The bodice pattern is my own adjusted for use in both the gown and kirtle. The Skirt pattern is Tudor Tailor with a bit of tweaking as are the sleeves.
I had interlined the back pleats with wadding but in the end it was too much poof.
The french hood is based on [link] Sarah Lorraine's research, it is all held together/on with pins. When I have time I'll switch out the paste with something less matchy.
Garters are twill tape with small gold accents
The only things I did not make are my socks (from SockDreams) and shoes. But I'm open to learning if anyone wants to teach me to knit or send over shoemaking elves.

yep I love that you did a good job with the under-layers really gives the proper silhouette for the gown. Excellent work!
