Description Well, I've been watching The Tudors really much tose last times and I have to say that all those wonderful dresses made me go insaine !!
SO much that I've decided to buy the simplicity pattern for the undergarments and to make a dress !

So here is the starting ! The corset full boned with strong plastic bones and a piece of wood in the middle and the "turn" if I call it like this, is stuffed with cotton ! I did not have the good materials to stuff with so I did with what I found !
I will make the shirt later, today maybe and then I can start my gown ! It will be in a purple- parme taffetas and there will be sime stones on the bodice ! You'll see !

This is a 10 size, so really too small for me but who cares xD

Hello! Any updates on this project? I'm thinking of making a dress myself and would love to see how yours is coming along

No unfortunately, I attached a bodice to it with sleeves, and I made a big mistake with it, it is just impossible to pass the arms through it so I have to unsew completely the bodice, and this time I will make it apart from it. There will be new updates of it in August !
Thnank you for the interest you show to my work, it makes me really happy ! I am sorry for the late answer, I didn't have much time ! I hope to see soon how your dress is going on !!

I don't know if you're still concerned with this, or haven't seen this already, but this is pretty much the catch-all site for this sort of thing. I've spent way too long looking up Elizabethan clothing [link]
I hope you get the dress finished soon, looks like it'll be quite nice.

Hello,
Oh good! I completely forgot about this... Have you added tabs to the corset? If they are tabs without boning, they are more helpful in arranging the drape of the skirt rather than preventing the bones from digging into your waist. Tabs cut continuously with the rest of the corset, or having the sides/back of the corset cut very high (with just the front being very long) usually help with that problem.
Also, the 'turn' is a bumroll, not a French Farthingale-- the latter is a hooped garment as you can see here a large bumroll is underneath it for support): [link] Your corset is more appropriate with just a bumroll, or the cone-shaped Spanish farthingale.
And as someone else mentioned, spiral lacing is appropriate for this time period (cross lacing is definitely in use by the Victorian era but I'm not sure if it's used before). A good tutorial about it is here: [link] However as the corset is already finished, just keep spiral lacing in mind if you make a new one
I look forward to seeing the finished product! Please let me know when it's all done.

Hiya,
This is coming along nicely. Maybe consider adding some tabs at the waistline else all those bones can feel as though they are digging right in. Also I suggest that you use something stronger for the lacing cord as it needs to be able to take a strong pull. Have you thought about spiral lacing rather than the 'shoe-lace' style? It is more authentic and also easier to get the sides of the corset parallel all the way down your back.

Your corset can be a size smaller than you so no worry. By the time you are laced in and a 2" gap is left at the back it will fit you nicely if you are a 12. I think that the main thing to watch is that the armhole is not right under your armpits. After all when you pull the back lacing in your body fat has to go somewhere!!

Thank you so much for your comment !!

Well, I take your advice and I will add some tabs as you tell me to do ! For the lacing I am not going to use this ribbon, it was just for the picture, I already tried to tie the corset with it, but it just doesn't hold it on enough! Thank you so much for this advice ! I didn't know it helps the sides to be parallel !!!

Thank you so much once again for all your advices !!! It helps me a lot and I appologize for the late answer !!!

Very nice! In English, we call the 'turn' a 'French Farthingale' or, more commonly, a 'bumroll'. It's silly, I know XD
I can't wait to see the dress! It sounds lovely.

You're very welcome! I love historical fashion, and I have recently purchased Simplicity patterns for undergarments, too, although mine are 18th century. Your s are a really good example!

Yeah, I have the same pattern as you do, I think. It's just the fabric that's giving me grief (it's brocade, but kinda stretchy.)

I bet it'll look awesome?

Mutemouia In reply to RenaissanceOtaku [2011-09-21 18:08:11 +0000 UTC]

OMG I just can't wait to see the result so !! Which color is the fabric ??

Oh well, I hope so ! But it is going very slow actually .... I have to buy at least 100 gems for the bodice and I am even not sure that it will look as I wish !!

RenaissanceOtaku In reply to Mutemouia [2011-09-22 16:10:14 +0000 UTC]

Well all the undergarment fabric is off white (trying to get it as linen looking as possible.) XD You're making me wanna work on it some more!!

Wow! 100?! I'm sure it'll look amazing. Good luck with the gems! Did I already ask if you're going to make an over dress and what colour it's going to be?
