Hem & H.A*
(Historically Adequate)

The red linen petticoat is now finished and hemmed to walking length (not as pretty but considerably more practical).

My first attempt at historical sewing: A petticoat in heavyweight, red linen.  It still needs to be hemmed, not to mention a good iron! It's a bit of a hodge - podge as far as the design and construction goes. I followed the instructions (up to a point) for an 18 th century petticoat found on the Fashionable Frolick blog. However I changed the pleating pattern for a more 16 th century look.

Welcome to The Wardrobe : A compilation of all the outfits and accessories I've made to date. They are listed roughly in order --from newest to oldest-- with links the original Dress Diaries as well followups where applicable.  Accessories and undergarments are grouped towards the end. (Hopefully this will be easier to navigate than the "labels" list in the sidebar.)
