Finshed frocks, world of win

Arty ruff. I liked the coloured pins.
BROCADE:
Not too fond of the slight point in the bodice, possibly emphasised by the gap, possible facilitated by the slippery lacing cord. Was quite comfy everywhere but the armscry, and that might be fixable. Will have to unpick the binding I've put on the seams there, and try to minimise the bulk even further. Love the silhouette from the back!
Things that were unfinshed:
Partlet needs another button and loop, a hem and ties to go under the arms.
Chemise needs cuff closures.
Armscry needs attention.
Hook and eye on skirt needs to be moved, or perhaps an extra one added. Top one. Placket needs hemming.
Need to build a top hat and sleeves to fully complete it.

GOOSE BOY:
He was surprisingly comfy and didn't die of heat! This is very good news. Then again, festy is far more humid. He didn't make it to the doublet, sadly.
I'm not sure what I've done wrong with the shirt...it fits funny. He needs another, and I will have to figure out what I'm doing wrong, or odd, for the next one.
The pants were great. I think they need another button, just for the look of the thing. The hat was too small - still need to deal with the blue hat...starting with dyeing it a better colour.
M has offered to build socks, which is great. The whole outfit will be improved by them. His shoes work well.
The best bit was when H recognised the outfit as goose boy! Win!
Still need to:
Make points for doublet / pants.
Organise sock building.
Hat.
Overcoat. Not that I think he will ever need it...
