Please ignore my messy ass room behind me. I completed the bodice, skirt, and shift for an event I went to a couple of weeks ago. All in all, I'm pretty happy about the result, but there are a few things I'd change about each item that I'll attempt to adjust on future projects. For the skirt, I'd make it longer. I don't mind hobbit length, but not for an SCA event. It would probably do for 28th century working garb, or as an underskirt when it's cold since it's flannel. The shift if made out of a sheet. It was a good effort, but the kind of cotton it is... no. Wither s light woven muslin or linen from now on. I also think I'll make the sleeves separate because I like decorative gathers at the sleevehead. The bodice is nearly perfect for me. I cam up with a better construction good than I ever had before, and attaching everything went smoothly. Two ajustments: I need to make the lining about an inch longer, so it's easier to turn up in the waist area to enclose the raw seam; I made the front flat, where the waist and front are perpendicular to each other. I need to make the front slope outward by an inch or two, so it's more of an angled seam. Being a fat person, my tummy sticks out further than my boobs and i have a sway back, so adding just a hint more room at the waist would fix the fit problem there. . . . . . . #sca #mysca #scadian #currentmiddleages #historicalcostuming #garb #garbattempt https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjp5R97roUg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
