"Mardi Gras" ensemble

[melaniesuzanne]

Whoo! It took about three hours of trial and error and drafting and draping and I have finally developed a bodice pattern for a Venetian overdress, circa 1495. I'm mostly happy with it. Tuesday's choir practice is canceled and I will use the newly freed-up time to pleat the skirt into the bodice and see if my pattern works.

I'm looking forward to the test. I'm also looking forward to starting the underdress.
