Not enough re-enactors wear it in my opinion. :) Lovely job. "The Dress of the People" is a great resource, and yes, you do look a bit like the image on the front of the book. <br />-Emilyvintagevisions27https://www.blogger.com/profile/16769861744181538664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-15863601115130714142013-09-18T12:36:01.162-05:002013-09-18T12:36:01.162-05:00Ahaaaaa!

Now I feel rather silly-- why didn't I notice the lacing? :P The neckerchief hides most of it so I just assumed it fastened up the back and therefore studied the back views most industriously. Oh, and you even mentioned the front lacing in the post. *facepalm* Ha. I don't know how I managed to skip over that. Blonde moment, I suppose. Thanks for your reply!

If you know what to look for, you can just barely make out the very last of the lacing at the bottom! :-) I really love the look of the lacing, but I also loved the neckerchief out, so I had to make the tough decision between the two. ;-) Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-50284087653569516982013-09-17T16:48:55.478-05:002013-09-17T16:48:55.478-05:00This is a lovely ensemble!

Are there hooks and eyes down the back? I inspected the pictures as closely as possible but couldn't see how the back "does up." I've made a few 18th-century bodices with lacing, but never seen it done with hooks and eyes. Love how smooth it all looks!

Still I love it and I think the green petticoat looks very nice with it. :)<br />~Bascha<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798196856128466766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-31854299408166584842013-09-04T18:32:26.615-05:002013-09-04T18:32:26.615-05:00Kathryn and Rebecca, thanks for your votes of appr...Kathryn and Rebecca, thanks for your votes of approval, "matchy"-wise. :-) I look forward to giving it another outing in October!Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380842536521048113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978074164262800388.post-75580277355123631112013-09-03T23:38:21.648-05:002013-09-03T23:38:21.648-05:00Oh no, the green is perfect!
