Summer Sewing Challenge - Express Yourself in Linen

Tudor Linen Gown

This is a project I made several years ago, and recently gave to my friend (the model).  I dyed the linen myself in some of my favorite colors (the green is called Goose Turd Green).  I drafted the pattern myself,  All stitching which shows on the outside of the garment is by hand.  There is a smattering of silk (blend) velvet on the shoulder rolls which I made while I was camping.  If you are interested in further information on how to make them, please see the link below.

    Beautiful details! I'm tired just LOOKING at all those pleats, much less pressing them. :o)

    This is absolutely gorgeous! I would call this "pea green", or "asparagus," but no matter: it photographs really well despite being "goose turd green."
    I'm sure being made mostly of linen makes it much more comfortable for faire-wear. The shoulder rolls are a fabulous touch!
