Wore the green frock last night, altogether with the stuff. I'm happy with some parts of it, and not happy with others.
The partlet is too big, so had to be pinned together at the front. The partlet was based on a previous pattern, for a previous dress, so it's not uber suprising. I may hack the front off this partlet and rehem, put ties on. I should put all my frocks on and test the partlets against them...oh so time consuming. The ruff fell nicely enough. I like the weight.
The skirt is falling nicely, lovely loops at the hem. It could have another line of black but I'm too lazy and busy. I tore the skirt opening slightly when getting dressed - this needs mending. Also, if I ever want to wear it without an apron, it needs a modesty thingy and a hook and eye.
I think I've lost weight. This was tighter on me 2 weeks ago. I mean, I thought I had lost weight, but wasn't really sure, it was only a little bit. And yet, there are gaps in the lacing. I think I can blame the thick lacing cord I used. I will swap it out.
I am totally in love with the sleeves, but I've managed it again - the armscry is too far into my front armpit. This has to be solved, and not just overlooked. Seems I'll be pulling the sleeves off, if I can. Scary, I'm not sure it's going to be possible, if there is enough extra.
I'm having trouble keeping the coif on. I'm so use to veleteen on the band! I think, rather than low pigtails, I need high ones for the band to bump up against. I might put my hair up today and try that.
The goose boy looked wonderful, even with his socks in his boots. The hat is not working for us, and I have no idea how to make it more like the pictures from this point. This band helps. That doublet is never going to get its collar, but it works without it. Just. And he appears to be comfy.
