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.
Pattern or design used: My own design - Saragrace Knauf

I'm sure being made mostly of linen makes it much more comfortable for faire-wear. The shoulder rolls are a fabulous touch!
