Flounced Petticoat
Over the weekend I finished gathering all the ruffles onto cords, and they are now ready to be applied to the foundation of the petticoat!

c. 1560s-70s Ensemble: Done (for now)!
This year, I was able to get the dress ready in time to be worn to our annual visit to King Richard's Faire! Huzzah!
I am really happy with it for the most part, but I do wish the skirts had a little more oomph, as the kirtle in particular kind of clings to the legs. So, at some point I might revisit this project and see how I could accomplish that. . . And someday I might upgrade my cotton smock for a more period-correct linen one. . . But for now, I'm calling this project done! :)
