OK I've made a ren-fair dress and it worked fine, but I want something more upper class. I'm not sure I'm ready for a noble gown. I found this material and I want to use it.

This material will make great sleeves. I have 3 3/4 yrds of this gauze. I also have 10 yds. of red velveteen |
 |
This may be too much for my talents but something along these lines. A late period piece 1574 is the year of this painting. |
 |
I bought a new pattern. Simplicity 3782 The Sleeves are of a period cut, even though they are sewn into the bodice It's easy to change that and make they tie with ribbons and rings. Small shoulder rolls which are not period but I like better. I have small shoulders and the large ones look hedious on me. I really really like the way the bodie and the skirt attach. |
 |
I bought a better pattern from Margo Anderson: Her historical patterns are easy to follow and accurate vs the Simplicity pattern. Margo also makes a Tudor pattern and I have that set as well. |
 |
I'm planing on making a Jacket. It will be worn over any skirt |
