Beth's dress: hounds
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2007/03/hounds.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Monday, March 19, 2007. And I had a fantastic time playing for a weekend with Her Majesty's Hounds. At the Virginia Renaissance Faire. This year, we auditioned for places on the cast (auditions! You are SO gonna win the prize for most creative. And perhaps the prize where I steal your chargebook, as well! I love the border stitch you used! 10:58 AM, March 19, 2007. What a lovely idea! 4:40 PM, March 20, 2007. 2:17 PM, March 21, 2007. 9:41 PM, April 02, 2007.

Beth's dress: July 2006
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Tuesday, July 11, 2006. Again with the lousy photography. I should really get the dress engineer to photograph stuff for me. It's really hard to shoot a picture of one's own arm for instance. At any rate, here are the new sleeves (um, only sleeves) for my green-dress-of-continual-improvement. The sleeve is lying flat on the deck railing because of the aforementioned complete inability to take pictures of my own arm. However, aren't the hostas lovely? And if that's not e...

Beth's dress: September 2006
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Wednesday, September 27, 2006. One French hood, no crescent. I think it's a lot fancier than I'd originally intended, but it's hard not to get carried away with the pearls. Guess I just inflated myself to "Lady" Bess. As worn here over my hair fresh from the shower, it isn't quite what I have in mind, but I think if I frizzle and/or roll the front hair to make the Elizabethan heart-shaped frame for the face, it might be about right. It's pretty anyway. 4 Hem the kirtle.

Beth's dress: January 2007
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Monday, January 22, 2007. Many thanks for the comments and suggestions on fixing my gapping problem from Julie. And of course Mom. I really appreciate all the input. It looks considerably better I think (despite the bad lighting). At first I wasn't sure I was happy, but in comparison with the before picture. Has no gap, despite similar hook spacing (and considerably less care in sewing them on). Thanks ladies! Monday, January 08, 2007. Dress of continual improvement.

Beth's dress: Let me explain…no, there is too much. Let me sum up.
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2005/06/let-me-explainno-there-is-too-much-let.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Monday, June 20, 2005. Let me explain…no, there is too much. Let me sum up. There isn't a whole lot of point in my iterating our weekend point-by-point, as Julie. Has done so in a much better way than I ever could in her last two entries. I knew that there was an advantage to being lazy. Likewise, she's posted way more pictures than I ever took on her blog, so I'd suggest traipsing on over there instead. Why am I kneeling in an herb garden you ask? 2 Alpacas are cute...

Beth's dress: i see london. and possibly france.
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2006/10/i-see-london-and-possibly-france.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Saturday, October 28, 2006. I see london. and possibly france. The Queen Elizabeth effigy corset, courtesy of the Tudor Tailor. (Have I mentioned how much I love that book? And that I'm within a size of the example patterns? Can I get a "huzzah"? And the back view. I do love the "racer" style straps, as they are assuredly staying put on the shoulders. Very nice that. Next up: a warm wool kirtle in olive. Making a total three green dresses. No, I'm not in a rut. I too am...

Beth's dress: ask a stupid question....
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2006/11/ask-stupid-question.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Sunday, November 05, 2006. Ask a stupid question. So a good rule of thumb is never to ask the dress engineer his opinion unless you're prepared to hear the answer. One would think his professional integrity was at stake or something. For example:. Me: Honey, how does this look? Him: Hm. It looks fine. Me: *narrowed eyes* Fine? Him: No, no, what I mean is, it's nice. Really nice. Except, well.never mind. It's lovely. Me: *deep sigh* So what does it need? 2:44 PM, Novembe...

Beth's dress: April 2006
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Wednesday, April 19, 2006. I finally remembered to take a picture of Aaron's spiffy green hose. I'm using "spiffy" in a pretty loose kind of way here. Loose, unlike the hose. They're better than the mockup. Not perfect, but better. Why is the dog in every picture I take? Thursday, April 06, 2006. Why knits were invented. Nice argyles, no? And everybody loves tight pants in shiny cotton-poly blend prints. So very nice! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Why knits were invented.

Beth's dress: dress of continual improvement
http://bethsdress.blogspot.com/2007/01/dress-of-continual-improvement.html
My 16th century clothing projects. Monday, January 08, 2007. Dress of continual improvement. Still tinkering with the green dress. Here are the stripey sleeves. I like them a lot, but now I think I might have to edge the black guarding on the dress to match. We shall see. And the Lady Kytson hat. It's very difficult to model this hat without feeling ridiculous. In all of the other pictures, I had some sort of "no seriously, I'm not really here" facial expression, so you get the goofy one.
