Renaissance Gowns for EIDs

2/12/2016

Well, the last of my Renaissance Tutorials is finally up. This one took a lot more work. Since I never took any under construction photos while making any of the EID-size gowns, I had to rely on the photos from the SD Tutorial. Which is fine, since they were made in almost exactly the same way.

The biggest challenge was adding the 'Dagged Sleeve Variation'.
All my earlier Renaissance gowns were made with the dagged sleeves. Here's a few of them.

The dagged sleeves are very challenging to make, and probably best left to experienced seamstresses. It doesn't help that I have no under-construction photos of them at all, so all instructions are only verbal. However, if anyone really wants to try them, the pattern and instructions are there, and hopefully they are clear enough. Best of luck!!

Thank you Martha for the patterns and tutorials, I really appreciate your willingness to pass your knowledge to the rest of us :). If I am right, your EID girl has medium sized bust, is that correct?

Yes, she has their "Medium" size breast - which is the smallest of the three breast sizes available. Thanks for asking, since I totally forgot to mention that in my pattern Tutorial. I'll need to go back in and fix that.

Thank you again for your generosity in sharing all this.
I am looking forward to see how others tackle this project now........they will look so different from yours I guess.

You are very welcome!

We may be surprised by the results. Someone recently submitted a photo for the 'Guest's creative Gallery', of a costume based on my Renaissance gowns, that they made for another doll. It definitely has that "familiar" look to it.
