Dagged Sleeves and Under-Dresses

8/5/2011

Still working on my next two Medieval-style EID outfits. The under-dress for the purple and gold ensemble is just about done - only have to insert the eyelets in the sleeves. I'm just 1/4 the way around with the beading on the hemline of the green and gold under-dress. All the dagged sleeves are done - took them with me up north last weekend and embroidered all the edges while Jan was out kayaking. Everything is coming along nicely, but it will probably still take all of next week to finish both outfits - maybe longer. There's quite a lot of handwork and beading to do on the over-dresses too. I'm especially liking the purple and gold combination, and can't wait to see them finished!

OMG!!
Up until this point, I thought all those edges on the dagged sleeves were done with paint!!
That's a LOT of chain stitch!!!

The spring Goddess dagged strips were done with paint, but all the dagged over-sleeves on my Renaissance costumes are lined and have the outside edges embroidered with chain-stitch. It helps keep everything nice and flat, but it's a pain to do because I can't let the stitches show on the lined inside.
