Finished the first new headdress for the new set of fantasy Renaissance gowns. I had to make some adjustments to the crochet cap as I went along, but I wrote down every step so I can reproduce it in other colours for the other three gowns. Sewing the pearls onto the netting by hand didn't even take as long as I had expected. Even though I have dozens of rolls of ribbon in every colour and width, I didn't have anything suitable to match the golden gown, so had to go to Fabricland, and they had the perfect narrow gold satin ribbon. The cap has ribbon ties which can be tied under the chin or at the back of the neck, and the crochet netting laces together underneath. I love the look of this golden ensemble, and am seriously considering keeping it myself - My Asa and Carina have been standing around in dressing gowns long enough. I think they would look amazing and make a great pair with Tedros who will be dressed all in browns.
Now to make three more caps for the other three gowns, so I can take photos, and some can finally be offered up for sale.
