@mermaidslabyrinth, @vhagar-balerion-meraxes Since we've been talking about historical clothing
This is such a cool project! And it would seem that the Greens may just be saved from poisoning themselves with the Hightower house colour :'D I'll be curious to dig through all the extra links to see if there's any more information on how such a brilliant shade of green was accomplished. I've dyed yarn with woad so I can see how you could get such a gorgeous green by mixing yellow into that. I believe weld yellow mentioned in the video is from dyer's weed(?) but the language barrier is kicking me hard here with some of the more spesific terms. :') Referring to our earlier conversations, maybe the Hightower green is gained with indigo mixed with what ever yellow is available in Old Town. Which is all the yellow, yellow is the colour you get out of most plants so now they just need to get their hands on something that gives them the desired dark hue of blue. Thank you for coming to my late night Liinu ponderings ^^
One thing I wish they did before photographing historical garments on display is to do some process to get the wrinkles out.
I get it, I get it — you can’t iron the dang thing. Dunno how they’re stored and don’t know what process is safe for a garment so particular.
But it still kiiiiinda cheapens the fanciness when it’s a little wrinkled…
And YEAH I KNOW — it’s probably being taken out of whatever wrinkly storage JUST for these pictures and then gonna be put back—
BUT STILL!!!
The two newest patterns that I have in testing right now, based on antique plus-size garments...
c. 1909 eleven-gore polka-dotted cotton day skirt The size as-is is a 37”/94cm waist with 60”/152cm+ hips, and ungathered it’s a 46.5”/118cm waist. It was made for a very short person, so I’ve provided the original length (32”/81cm) as well as an extended version (40”/102cm) on the pattern for whatever you need. On Etsy here.
c. 1915-17 silk day dress with beading This has a 60” (152cm) bust and 45.5” (116cm) waist and was made for a relatively tall person. On Etsy here.
Both are now up on Etsy!

I'm finally making more progress on my historically inspired linen shirt project! It took so much longer than I'd expected to get a second spool of the cabernet Londonderry thread, but now that it's here, I'm really hoping I can have this shirt finished soon!
Currently, all the seams are finished and I'm working on hemming. From there, the last steps will be adding buttons and buttonholes. So close!
Medieval May belated day 15 and 8: Clothing and Civilians
No unusual craft, today, but I have some pictures from a recent pilgrimage.
We took part in Pilgrimage21. The Company of Saint George had the idea of encouraging Reenactors from organisations across the world to recreate the experience of a pilgrimage to do on the same day. We walked from Radur Woods to Llandaff Cathedral, which is part of the Pen-Rhys pilgrimage.
Some of these pictures show how difficult the clothing can be. Being not a regular at wearing a wimple I'm probably wearing it wrong or just fastening it wrong because it loosened tremendously and I had to redo it 3/4 times. The image of me on the bus is from when I first put it on.
One of the images shows the Master at Arms having slipped in his boots. Medieval people would have trained themselves to walk easily without grips of any kind, walking more on the balls and toes of their feet. It takes a little while to get in the rhythm of it and, if you're not doing it regularly, it's a real workout. My hobnailed shoes mean I can't walk on hard floors without skating.
Working on creating a Rococo Princess Peach, This is some of the beginning work along with the design. The hardest part so far was having to make the Grand Panniers without a pattern or anything!
Design is draw by me and everything is being made by me
