I started working on my next personal SCA project: a late period Venetian mourning gown. It’s been a gothy dream for a long while, but I feel like current real-world reasons are telling me now is the time.
First step – fabric has been chosen, purchased, and pre-washed/shrunk as best I was able other than the veil fabric that should arrive today.
Next step – discover I’m missing my Venetian bodice pattern…
Current step – recreate the pattern from existing makes, creating separate patterns in the process for the front lacing gown bodice vs. the side lacing bodies that were previously combined into one pattern.
Inspiration and progress pics included – I’m trying to get better about this!
