The dark side

I blame[livejournal.com profile] femkederoas ... I now understand the dark side is any side you have been avoiding but end up at anyway.

I am going to do another German dress next year. Well actually two (I've been searching for the right velvet for rosinavs' swabian). I have a lot of the accessories of a proper trossfrau. I suppose it's time to put a proper dress together, with real slashes and such, maybe even wool. Though I rather like staying at the common end of the scale, it allows you to get messy.  And I really want to make the platter hat fencing mask.

I have one German noble dress (inspiration), that's enough for now, though I still need to trim out the collar. I will try to get better pictures from 12th night next month .

Tell me about it. Part of my ADD is that I am regularly attracted to less commonly seen styles. (Oooh! Never seen that before!! Mine!!)


;-)

I'll send along pictures on the hat construction. And also the wulsthaube stuff, too.

It's not a complicated dress to make. This one is silk taffeta.
