Lady Cynthia's Renaissance Gown InformationThis Elizabethan renaissance gown pictured on this page is made of silk dupioni. The overskirt skirt is hand cartridge pleated lined in blue linen to give it some weight so that the drape of the fabric would be more period style. The hem was cut into a trained back. The underskirt and sleeves are made of blue and black shot silk jacquard. The underskirt has a fore panel that is backed with canvas to keep those unsightly hoop lines from showing and the rest of the fabric is faked with blue linen. The sleeves are lined in blue linen and the cuffs have blue stones couched with gold silk. This same technique is also used at the hem of the underskirt. One nice advantage in fitting this gown is that Lady Cynthia and The Black Fox flew in so we could get a perfect fit. The goofiest part was when Lady Cynthia and I decided to shorten the lenght of the farthingale with the bones still in place. We also had further fun, fabric shopping and drinking. A rather good time was had by all and The Black Fox got to work on his suntan. |
