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. Posted by Picasa

Beth,

The dress is looking great and the sleeves are fantastic!

And they will definately let you in the SCA Silly Hat Club with the Mrs Kitson hat!!

I love it though, and I am still going to make the rest of that outfit one day, just have to find that orange silk for the gown!

Cheers,
Jane

Hehe, I love that hat shot. :) I do kinda think that the guards on the rest of the dress scream out for cream cording now. The sleeves look great!

Beth,
About time you are using your great hat! And yes adding the cream cording will finish the look. Now, what outfit will Lucy be wearing with her hat to compliment your outfit?
