Tudor Dress Hand sewn





SO I have hand sewn the skirt to the bodice and shoulder straps to the bodice as well. I found the gold and red braid I laying around and decided it would make a perfect addition. My questions now are what color under skirt looks best. I have a gold one that is made up of a gold piece of crushed panne velvet overlaid with gold organza I also thought of just doing a red the same color as the dress. Any opinions?

new Project: Red Tudor Dress II





Here is everything Pinned together. I love doing this because I can catch a glimpse of the future gown. This is really turning out better than planned.

New Project: Red Tudor Dress




So I know it's only an unfinished bodice but I have the overskirt sewn together as well but I bummed up my knee so I can't do as much. I made the front really stiff by putting a painting stir stick down the center, sewn in. The Dress will all be the dark red and I hope to do some really fun extensive beading all over the front bodice piece. I have a black and Creme one that I hope to start soon as well.
