doxiequeen1:Some worn pictures of the finished kirtle! This project hasn’t been progressing well, but at least this part turned out pretty well.It’s made mostly from polyester taffeta, but is trimmed with silk dupioni in all the places that will show. It laces up the sides and is partially lined with cotton. It also has a beading and lace surrounding the neckline!The whole thing was made and worn by me. It’s worn over a farthingale/pair of bodies/chemise which I also made.I have three blog posts about the process - they are here, here, and here! -- source link
