I've chosen four fabric combinations for four Italian Renaissance costumes, and am wanting to get started. Only problem is, my neck arthritis has really flared up the past few days, so my hands and feet are in a lot of pain. Yesterday I couldn't do anything. So here's hoping today is better.
I've chosen four fancy velours and cut out the overskirts. Next step is to rework the bodice and sleeve patterns and cut those out. These ensembles will also include a petticoat and pantaloons. Women in those days didn't wear underwear, but I make pantaloons anyways, just so the doll's resin bottom is protected from the doll stand. I think most people will gladly sacrifice 'historical accuracy' to keep their doll's butts from getting scratched.
