My basic pellote (a medieval over dress) is now complete as well. My little loom will be arriving this week and then I can crank out the trim I need to finish these dresses! I have the fabric for my veils, but I haven't actually done anything with it yet (in these photos you can see I just draped it on). I am hoping to complete this outfit in time for the Sir Edwards Memorial Tournament in a couple weeks. This will be our first event and I am really excited! I am also making all the garb for my boys, and I went with linen in various shades of blue and green, plus some quilted mint green cotton for my sons gambeson. I will update with pictures of their stuff if I can, something tells me I might be crunched for time... But on to the photos! I had my sweet hubby snap a couple shots in our backyard this morning, please remember these are rough pieces, no trim or hems on yet, but I think the overall shapes turned out lovely.
You can see my inspiration here and here. There are some amazing resources on the web and I was even able to find some photos of extant garments that were clear and detailed, I haven't included them here because I don't own them, but I'd be happy to point you to them if you are interested.
