Early style one based on one of the two female figures in the Bayeux Tapestry. Using the pattern by Robin Netherton in the new edition of Dress in Anglo-Saxon England. Hand (coarse wool) embroidered collar and long cuffs (which I am in the middle of attaching). Still working out whether to directly sew up the sides, take them in and have to really wriggle to get it on, or eyelet it such that it laces up, the latter being a later innovation. May do matching embroidered belt to go with it, but depends on how enthusiastic I feel about it after. There were vague intentions to get it finished for a few events ago, but now I think Politocopolis 10th Ann or KWDS is far more likely.
