Description
Front view of my red court gown for SCA. Circa 1570s Elizabethan. Main portrait inspirations are: The Pelican Portrait and Allegorical Portrait of "Death and the Lady"

Materials used:
Red lattice brocade of indeterminable fabric content (pretty sure it’s not natural, but pretty.)
Deep red microsuede
Cream synthetic lining
Calico interlining
Cable ties for boning
Hook and eye closure
Pre-strung pearls
2.75m of trim (small spool)
3 and 6mm round white glass pearls added to trim

Project was started on the 21st of April 2009.
Self drafted pattern. About 80% hand sewn. There’s about 6m of fabric in the skirt. I will probably add more strung pearls around the bottom guard at a later date.
Displayed on duct tape dress form with standing ruff, string of pearls and gold brooch.
