More dress stuff….

There are so many comments recently about the dress for Barons War that it would take a load of time I don’t have right now to answer them all, and it’s mostly all the same info.  But please know, I read and appreciate every comment!
I’ve decided on red for the ceremony dress.  (I very much appreciate everyone’s offers of fabric assistance!)  I have a ton of that fabric, and as it is in my stash, I obviously already like it!  I need to get the wedding dress busted out, then I can start on MY dress.  (p.s.  I’ll be posting about the wedding dress commission over the next few days)
Because I love purple, I will be doing a purple Turkoid (what I’m calling the Turkish coat worn by Venetian women in a state of undress)  I’ll be doing silk taffeta, hopefully beaded and/or embroidered/couched all to hell (Holly, Jaquelinne…….you both offered hand work help, I’m hoping that includes beading!)  I’ll be making a simple kirtle to wear underneath for some support, and I have a person in mind to ask for assistance in a camacia.


……I’m feeling really weird that the most help I EVER received on an outfit is for this!

  2. Of course! I actually love beading. If you're not pinking it, and aren't looking for a super soft drape, I highly suggest flatlining with a tight-weave fabric or interfacing before beading. But you probably already knew that. <3
