to be worn at My Nuptials at SeaLion War, AS41
The second time I did a draping, Iused a white cotton jaquard as the main fabric, and the same silver gray brocade. IThe silver gray brocade appears in both outfits, its part of the tying together the ''ook' of the bride's and groom's outfits.
Renaissance people just wore their best clothes to be married in, so we wouldn't have looked that much alike. The matching outfits usually come later, once you are ordering fabrics for your new married household.
I added more silver trim to break up the white. The grey areas will be pearled so they will have more white and more dark gray. There will be multiple layers of tabs edged in perhaps a white and silver cording, and lined in silver silk dupioni for the doublet.
I haven't made anything with a stomacher before so the shaping of the bodice for such an item is a bit of a mystery to me. Mary [Mistress Crystalmere] helped me to solve it. Now I just need to sew it together!
A Milke coloured square bodied jaquard Doublet and Petticoate set lined in silk taffeta.
Worn with a Crane coloured stomacher, forepart and great sleeves set about with pearls, and a laced standing collar and cuffs
The stomacher will be pinned on the paire of bodies,, and the doublet will be pinned to the stomacher and pair of bodies.
The stomacher will be separately boned as the corset is both front and back lacing, so may buckle in the front.
Pearls. Real pearls.
And some glass beads, but mostly real pearls.
