How it looks

Hem still needs doing and may or may not put more eyelets in the side but the basics are now done.


More pictures found from here onwards.
Curiously, experimenting with the lacing, the side spiral laced with the short bit of cord where the thread ran out, sits far better than the one crosslaced. Not certain which side is showing in the photo above.
Veil needs the base rounded and then it needs to be ironed and hemmed and the head band hemmed. Gown has had the hem initially pinned by Z and is now hanging for a couple days to see how things stretch etc.

Oh, so pretty! I have (I think) just enough bits of some silk I acquired for free awhile ago to make a bliaut, but it's a cream colour, which isn't really me, so I must look into dying possibilities. (I have some indigo, and a whole lot of onion skins, so mad experiments in creating purest green may happen sometime in the distant future...)

Anyway, that looks fabulous. You guys over for Coronation? (Forgive me if I'm out of the loop. I haven't looked at LJ in about a month. About to go and do a huge update.) :-)

Not going to be over for Coronation, but the odds of being at CF 2008 and Darton May Crown are not bad.
